*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal minds I just get the privilege of playing with the characters for a while.
Emily was on the flight back to London looking out over the miles of water. The very water she used as a barrier from the shadows of love that her heart begged her to allow to come alive.
She and JJ would allow them to come alive on certain occasions in the past when reality of human cruelty was just unbearable. What drove them to chase murders day in and day out? She often wondered if something inside her was broken that kept the desire going. JJ on the other hand was focused on the greater good. The great good that she never had seen in anyone except her team and especially JJ.
She continued to search the hollowness of the vast space of water and horizon before her for the answer to emptiness. She had put hands on the warmth of the shadows again and now they would torment her for months.
The words, "I knew you would come," haunted her being. She smiled knowing how true that statement was. She would always be the shadow that visited when JJ needed them. There were all kinds of titles and terminologies for that behavior and none of them with good definitions. She decided that the people that made them up lived inside a book or computer screen because none of the terms came close to expressing the atmospheres around the shadows.
How could you even begin to describe to someone that when you walk in the same room how your soul wants to expel itself from your body when the mind holds it in place away from that person? Yet… when your apart you can still feel the finger prints left by soft touches.
She had become cold while daydreaming out the window. She stood and put her jacket back on and stuck her hands into the pockets to warm them. That's when she felt the neatly folded note.
Lover you came once again to my rescue and as the times before you vanished away. I wish for once you would remain until fate finishes our play. I guess you are just a vampire sucking up desire and lust. Only to leave before the light of day afraid the mere brightness of love might turn you into dust.
Come out of the shadows Em. I'm right here waiting for you just beyond that horizon you always ask answers of.
Love Jennifer
Emily looked out the plane's window again with tears in her eyes and realized she was looking at the wrong horizon. For love was behind her and emptiness before her. What was she to do now. She folded the note back and placed it into her pocket.
She wasn't for sure about anyone thing at the moment. But one thing was for sure the plane ride just seemed to become a lot longer and it had just taken off only an hour before.
This will be just a few chapters I think. Still working on the others promise. It seems I write better if I have two or three going at once. :P
