A/N: Sad chapter here, but I am not sure I am happy with it! Let me know what you think! And I am sure you all guessed it, no, the body from the barn is not JJ! The team doesn't know it yet :) And I am trying to be a cornball here, but I am trying to break my record of most reviews. The last one I had was 82 reviews for 11 chapters, PLEASE, PLEASE review.. I really want to see if I can do this, it'll totally make my day if I get more then 82 by chapter 11! THANKS!
"JJ?" A strange voice called her name, softly. "JJ, open your eyes, you are safe." She recognized the voice, a voice she had longed to hear for so long now. "JJ." She felt a soft touch stroking her cheek, a gentle touch that had not one ounce of evil in it.
Her sister.
"JJ bean," Rosalin began, watching her baby sister open her eyes.
"Rozie?" JJ whispered, her throat sore and aching; her head pounding, her body throbbing. Everything hurt and she just wanted to cry into her sister's arms.
"Come here, JJ." Rozie sat down next to her sister and began stroking the blood stained blonde hair. "You haven't changed much, Bean." Rozie's affectionate voice immediately had a calming affect on the injured blonde, her sister was literally able to see the blonde relax, the pain seemed to have dissipate with Rozie's presence.
"I'm here, JJ." Rozie promised, holding her sister in her arms. She hated this, hated watching her suffer so much. "JJ, I want you to listen and listen good." Rozie fingered the necklace she saw her baby sister wearing. JJ was listening, she could tell that, she knew her sister like the back of her hand. "This isn't over yet, and you still have a hell of a fight ahead of you. The hardest is yet to come, but you are proving him wrong every step of the way. You aren't broken, Bean, you never will be. You aren't damaged, you aren't beat, and you sure as shoot aren't dead. What you are is a fighter, an extremely intelligent young woman with an entire life ahead of you, a wonderful friend, a talented FBI agent and a hero to so many. My sister, my Bean, is an FBI agent!" Rozie beamed with pride and what her sister had accomplished.
"Rozie, I am tired." JJ whispered, curling into a fetal position, her eyes still squeezed shut.
"I know, Bean, I know." Rozie reached down to hug her. "But you are doing so well. And I want you to keep fighting. Your team is looking, they are doing everything they can. Agent Hotchner is driving himself bonkers trying to find you. Agent Morgan.."
"Morgan is mad.." JJ whispered and Rozie laughed. JJ was weak, but she was able to talk a bit, not much, but enough. Rozie had to give her something to keep fighting for, she knew the desperation JJ felt right then. And just the promise of life might not be enough to cut it.
"Yes, Bean, Agent Morgan is mad. Agent Reid is…"
"Spense." Rozie's pride grew, hearing her sister talk about her team as her own family "Spense is scared.."
"Agent Rossi.."
JJ coughed. "Determined." Even the little bit of energy she was exerting to talk was completely exhausting her.
"Agent Blake?" Rozie asked, knowing her time with her sister was coming to an end. She had less than a minute to speak with JJ and get her message across.
"Caring. And Garcia.. my best friend." JJ sighed, feeling as though peace as washing over her.
"That's right, Bean." Rozie whispered, kissing her sister on the head. "Bean, I have to go now, but you need to stay here. You need to stay here and show this son of a bitch what you are made of! I am going to be here with you.. I am here with you always." Rozie stood up. "JJ, look at me." Rozie commanded. "You are my hero, you have always been and you will always be. We will see each other again, but not for a long, long time. You will be old and grey, and happy. You are not meant to die here, JJ. Not in a bomb shelter at the hands of psycho. It's coming to an end, Bean. I promise. I love you, JJ. More then you know." JJ watched as her sister's image started to fizzle in front of her.
"Rozie?" She tried to sit up, but failed miserably and fell back to the ground. "Rozie.."
"I'm always right here, Bean. Always." Rozie blew one more kiss at her sister, before fading away, leaving her sister back in her hell hole.
"Rozie.." JJ cried, desperately wanting her sister to come back, to stay with her, and keep her warm. "Rozie.." She fell back to the ground, tears stinging her eyes as she frantically searched for her sister.
Steven laughed at the scene before him. It had been great seeing an entire team of FBI agents almost lose it at the barn; but this, this was classic. He was literally watching one of the famed agents lose her mind. And he had every intention of letting it happen.
He crawled over to JJ, and placed his hand over her head, grinning at the warmth of her skin. "Rozie ain't here baby doll, it's just you and me." He paused again before delivering what he considered his death blow. "And you are never going home."
