chapter10

Spencer's eyes fluttered opened and he looked around the living room. He groaned and brought his hand to his head. "What happened?"

"Don't worry, you're alright."

The teens eyes trailed to Derek's.

"Do you remember what happened?"

Spencer slowly shook his head before he blinked once. "Wait... There was a man."

Derek nodded. "Yeah."

Spencer's brows narrowed. "He called me Reader... He knew. H-how?"

Derek nodded again. "That was Charles."

"Charles?" Spencer repeated.

"A witch who would stop at nothing to have power." Hotch said from behind Derek.

"A darkling?"

Hotch shook his head. "No. He isn't a vampire, he's full-blooded witch."

Spencer frowned and slowly sat up. "So you stopped him?" He said towards his boyfriend.

Derek shook his head. "No." He pointed behind Hotch. The man moved to show a beautiful young woman. Blond, waist length hair, huge blue eyes.
She smiled at Spencer.

"I'm Jennifer, JJ for short. And this is Emily." She said, gesturing with her head.

Spencer looked towards the other woman, Burnet, dark eyes and dark shoulder length hair, also beautiful... what was with these darklings and their looks?

Spencer eyed Emily. "So you saved me?"

The woman shook her head. "No. That would be JJ."

Spencer looked back to the blond. "I may be small but I can kick ass." She joked. She walked closer to the couch. Spencer smiled as the blond sat next to him.

The teen was surprised when suddenly there was a hand under his chin. He looked back at Derek, just as the darkling brought a white towel to his head. Spencer hissed again and tried pulling away.

"I should have warned you, sorry. It's going to sting, you have a pretty nasty cut."

Spencer brought his hand to his head and hissed once again at the feel of the bump and the small gash. "How did I get this?"

"That would be Emily." JJ suddenly said.

The burnet glared. "Was not."

JJ chuckled. "I told you to get him out-of-the-way, not push him into the wall."

"I did! But then Derek had to appear right in front of me. He caught me off guard! I had to throw him somewhere!"

"Oh no! Don't you blame this on me!"

Spencer couldn't help a smile at the grown ups acting like little children arguing about who would get the last cookie. Hotch suddenly threw himself to sit next to Spencer.

"This is why I'm known as the father of the group."

Spencer laughed and nodded. "I can see that."

Hotch looked at the teen as Spencer stared at the three still arguing. "Spencer, how did you know that we were having some...unwelcome guests?"

Spencer looked at the man. "My powers."

Hotch nodded. "So you believe us?"

The teen smiled. "Yeah. It's still going to need some getting used to. But..." He shrugged. "I can live with it. I don't think I have much of a choice, do I?"

Hotch smiled sadly. "No. Whether you want it or not, you are the Reader. These are your powers, your gift."

Spencer nodded in understanding. "I guess I can start calling you dad too." He smiled.

Hotch's cleared his throat. "Spencer, even though I'm the father of the group, no one ever calls me that." Spencer laughed as the man stood on his feet. "Ok, who wants breakfast?"

"Oh, yeah! Sucking blood all day and night for three days in a roll is really annoying. My body needs some human food. Ow!"

Spencer laughed when JJ smacked Emily's arm.

"What?"

JJ used her eyes to gester to Spencer. "Not in front of the human."

Spencer shook his head. "Don't worry, I already saw Derek drinking. Talking about it doesn't bother me." Spencer suddenly frowned. Why didn't it bother him? It should've, at least a little, but it didn't. And it didn't bother him when he saw Derek drinking either.

JJ tilted her head."You...saww Derek drinking blood?" She repeated.

Spencer smiled and nodded. "Well... yeah."

"And that didn't bother you?"

Spencer shook his head.

"That's the first I heard." Prentiss said. "Are you sure you're full human?"

Spencer smiled. "Actually, I'm not." The two woman stood confused as Spencer stood up from the couch. "I'm the new addition to your family."

Prentiss looked towards Hotch and Derek. "Who changed him?"

Spencer smiled and shook his head. "No one. My powers are...automatic. I just found out I'm the first Reader in 2000 years."

Both women's mouths slightly open.
