I don't own Criminal Minds

Enjoy

As Spencer opened his eyes, he found himself on the roof of the building he sat on to watch the sunrise. There his body faded away and he was in a deep sleep until the sun set again. His eyes a deep red and his skin pale as the moon. He looked like a true creature of the night. However he was completely human but he lacked a certain piece of himself that made him human…his heart. Which he had to give up to save, not just one person, but a whole "family". It was a small price to pay and he would have done it million times if he had too. If he had to endure the worst of pain he would do so without a single complaint or cry for mercy.

He sat on the roof for a while until his group returned to retrieve him. "Spencer, I understand that this is a hard adjustment to make but you knew the consequences for giving up your heart. Your soul will start to fade and then you will be one of us for good…it's not too late to stop this."

Spencer shook his head, "No, it's better this way. What is my small life to someone who has only begun to live? I have lived in a sense, so I chose to fade away and let the darkness consume my soul…if it means he and his father will be safe and happy."

The group would have shed tears…if they could. When someone soul fades, so do their emotions and their ability to love.

Spencer got up and they walked together, to hunt in the dark.

Flashback:

"Dad I can't believe I'm going to be in high school soon" said Jack as he sat with his father at the dinner table one night.

Hotch smiled, his son has truly been growing up. Despite JJ leaving the team about three months ago, the team was healing and going strong. It had been tough to raise his son on his own but Rossi has been like an uncle to Jack. The rest of the team has also been helping.

Outside of their apartment building, a man was sitting in his car. Waiting and watching. He had just recently got information on Jack Hotchner. His school, a recent picture of Jack and other details about him. The man took out a cigarette and smiled as he lit the end of it. The man had to calculate his timing perfectly.

Hotch went to Morgan's office a day after seeing Spencer. He was still in shock of seeing him in the first place.

Morgan looked up when he saw Hotch walk in a close the door. "What is it Hotch?"

"I saw Spencer" he said quickly. Morgan stood up, his eyes wide with disbelief. "You saw Spencer" he said, his voice soft like a whisper.

Hotch nodded. Morgan couldn't believe that his best friend, who he believed was gone, came back.

"Where? When did you see him?"

Hotch told him what happened and even the fact that Spencer looked different. He didn't say that he had red eyes, then Morgan would think he was just crazy.

"But how will we find him? Garcia can look up his records if he got a place or used his credit cards" said Morgan.

They ran into Garcia office, but they had no idea that by trying to find Spencer, they were also putting themselves in great danger.
