Hey guys Kristen here, now since the beginning of the summer its you guessed it criminal minds. :) anyway I've been working on this story line idea and figured I'd try it out here first. So well here goes... enjoy! Oh yeah this chapter is back story for my original characters so first part is slightly boring. Sorry its going to get much better very quickly.
Ps. this takes place after Sever leaves and JJ and Prentiss are back oh and I DON'T OWN CRIMINAL MINDS OR THE CHARACTERS WITHIN (but if mgg me to own him I wouldn't object lol)
Chapter 1
Reid
"If you don't believe in ghosts you've never been to a family reunion."
- Ashleigh Brilliant
When I woke up to my alarm and noticed I wasn't in my apartment my initial reaction was 'where the heck am I' but then I remembered much to my dismay that... I was in a hotel... in Reno... for a family reunion. Once I dragged myself out of bed almost as if I was programed to do so I started my coffee and got my things for a shower. Then after all theday-to-day routine of the morning I went out to my 1997 tan Honda accord so I could head to my aunt and uncles for the reunion.
When I got there the celebration was in full force. Most of the adults were either outside or helping the kids with field games in the huge back yard.
"Spencer! Over here come hang out with me and your aunt!" it was my uncle Daniel.
Daniel is my mother's younger brother. When they were younger they were close but as my mom got more sick he got more distant. You see, Daniel is the type who's afraid of what he cant understand like my mother's schizophrenia. He still contacts her through letters and phone calls but he hasn't seen her since before I had her placed in the sanitarium. Although I saw him at his wife's baby shower for their second daughter, I don't speak to him much either.
Daniel and his wife Rita were sitting on a picnic table in their back yard, so I went over and joined them.
"Sorry im late" I said attempting to make conversation.
"Sweety don't worry about it there wasn't a set time for you to show up, but luckily your in time for the wheel barrel race that the kids are doing. which your welcome to join with me if you want." said Rita.
"Uh... I think im good." (knowing me I'd probably end up hurting myself).
"So... Spencer how is it over at the BAU?" asked Daniel.
"As average as it can get I suppose." I said absent mindedly.
I was busy trying to figure out who the rest of the people here were. I remembered most of them from when I was younger but the tricky thing was figuring out who the kids were, most of them were hard to place because they were in the wheel barrel race and I hadn't seen them in years. It was almost an entertaining guessing game.
The game ended when I was startled by one of the little girls who looked to be about 7 ran past me to Daniel yelling, "Daddy! Daddy! We won! we won! Did you see us? Did you see us win?". he seemed amused at the little tike and picking her up said "of course I saw you princess. You did great! Spencer, this is my daughter Allie," he said gesturing to the small girl.
"Hi, Allie, I'm your cousin Spencer." Allie hugged me in a surprise attack. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there frozen.
"Hi" she said.
She only pulled away when rita said, " come on Allie lets go get some lunch" I was so intent on watching the scene I almost didn't notice a teenage girl walk up past me. She was tall for a girl her age about 5'8", had short light brown hair, and hazel eyes.
"What you only congratulate your youngest? Oh I see how it is."she said jokingly.
Daniel pulled his daughter in for a hug as she went to walk away saying, "oh how in the world could I forget you? Spencer this is my oldest Jena"
"So this is Dr. Spencer Reid. You seem utterly normal for a genius." she said almost examining me.
"Thank you?" I said. I was so confused, I didn't know wether to be upset or pleased.
"Spence, Spence? Spence we've got a case," said JJ. I had been day dreaming again they had been becoming more and more frequent since the reunion.
The reunion had been two months ago when the team all had their first whole week off in a long time. That entire time he stayed with his uncle, but that was then and now they had a case.
So ya short chapter I know. I promise they will get longer once the case develops a little. Until next time.
