May 12th, 1992

General P.O.V.

1:15 p.m.


For what seems like hours but was really only seconds, Jacob keeps his month on JJ's. The little girl's kicking her legs desperately trying to get him off.

JJ keeps kicking her legs until Jacob is forced to pull back. Finally, she hits his privates and he rolls away in pain.

She grabs her rabbit and makes a run for it. But, she doesn't get very far before Jacob is back on his feet. He grabs JJ and throws her on the ground, backhanding her for good measure.

"No, no! Please, stop! I didn't do anything! Stop! Maddie!" JJ yells fall on deaf ears as the kids downstairs are too drunk to do anything.

"I said shut up!" He pulls a knife out and holds it against JJ's left cheek. He can practically see the fear in her eyes, which makes him smile. He loves it when they fight.

"Emily's gonna come and get you! So is my bubba!" JJ says. Her words just make Jacob smile more.

"Oh, you think she's going to save you? She isn't even home!"

"Yeah, she will! She'll call my mommy and daddy and they'll call the cops."

"Ha! If you think that'll happen, you're dumber than you look." He presses the knife into her cheek making it bleed.

"Let me tell you something little girl. If you ever tell your mom or dad about this, then I'll make sure you'll never see them again. Understood?"

"Y-yes." JJ replies shaking her head furiously.


Downstairs in the Living Room/Kitchen

Downstairs Maddie opens the door for more kids to come in.

"Hey, John and Alana!" Madeleine opens the door wider. "Come in! We have food and…" She pauses to pull out the bottle of alcohol. "Alcohol!"

John and Alana whoop and take the bottle, messily pouring some onto a couple of cups.

"So, where's the boyfriend, Mads?" John asks.

"Oh, I don't know. He's around here somewhere."

"Yo, Maddie! What are you waiting for? Let's get this party started!"

"Yeah! Let's do this!" The others cheered.


Back Upstairs

"Emily's not going to come to your rescue. Know how I know?"

"H-how?" JJ asks.

"Bacause she told me." He sneers. "She said she doesn't like hanging out with a little brat like you."

"You're l-lying. That's not t-true." JJ stutters out.

"Get up! Now!" He stands up. "And get on the bed. JJ stands up and tries to run. Jacob picks her up and throws her on the bed.

He climbs on top of her and forces his tongue in her month again. He unbuttons her pants and sticks his hand down her pants.

"Now, you're going to be my good little grasshopper. Aren't you? Be still and this will only hurt a lot." Jacob tells her.

"Be good grasshopper, and I promise that I'll make this quick." Jacob says before he sits up to unzip his pants.


Over at Emily's House

At Emily's house, she walked in the door with her mother. Outside the air was even thicker, the sky darker, and the tint of green even more pronounced than earlier.

She had no idea that three blocks from her house, her best friend was in big trouble.

She walked in the house and decides it would best to locate her raincoat and boots.


Back at JJ's. Upstairs.

"This is going to be so much fun." Jacob laughs. "Just remember little girl, you wanted this!"

"Stop, stop it! I don't want this! Please quit!" JJ continues to plead.

"Shut up. Shut up and tell me how much you like it."

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing to my sister?!" A voice yells from the doorway. Eli storms into the room and pulls Jacob off of JJ. He threw him to the floor and throws a couple of punches.

JJ uses this time to sprint out of the room and down the stairs. She runs out of front door and down the sidewalk.


Emily's House

It starts pouring down rain then, lightning, thunder and hail rain down on JJ as she runs to Emily's house. She bangs on the door until Emily opens it.

"Jen? What are you doing here? Come here. What's wrong? What happened?" She gives the little girl a once over and notices her bloody and bruised cheeks.

"Come here."

"Emmy! I told him to stop! I told him I dint want him to do it!" JJ says, burying her face in Emily's shoulder.

"Baby, look at me. Jen, what happened?"

"He said He would kill my mommy and daddy if I told. He said you didn't care! That whou wouldn't care!"

"Dad! Come here!" Emily calls out and James Prentiss walks in the room.

"Emmy Bear, what's going on." Then he see the broken little girl in Emily's arms.

"Hey, Lady Bug. What's going on? Are you ok?" He tries to take a look at JJ's blody cheek, but JJ pulls away.

"No! Don't! Emily don't make me go with him! I'm be good, I promise. I'm sorry I was bad!"

"Jen, JJ look at me." Emily instructs. "I need you to try to breath, ok? Deep breaths, baby." She demonstrates by taking a deep breath and letting it out, repeating it until JJ was breathing normally again.

"Emily, James. The weather channel just issued a tornado warning for our area." Lynn interupts, coming into the room.

"Shit." James mutters under his breath. "Ok, Emily. I need you and Lynn to take JJ to the storm shelter. Go, now!" He backs out of the room and goes to a closet.

"Jen, look at me. We need to talk about what happened, but right now we need to go to the cellar. Ok? We need to go now. Come on." Emily picks the younger girl up and runs outside with Lynn and James behind her.


In the Cellar

Inside the cellar James climbs in with a first aid kit.

"Em…" James trails off, but she knows he needs to look at her cheek.

"Jen, baby, I know you don't want too, but my dad needs to look at your cheek."

JJ looks at James and realization dawns on her. "Uncle J?" The little girl whispers.

"Yeah, sweetheart, it's me. I promise I won't touch you unless you say it's ok. Alright?"

"Ok."

"Ok." James repeats softly. "Now, can Emmy turn you so I can look at your cheek?"

"Yeah." JJ says softly. Emily turns her in her lap so her left cheek is facing James.

"Ok, now, I'm going to give to emily this washcloth. She will use it to wipe the blood off andthat I can see if your cut needs more than a bandage. Is that ok?"

JJ's quite for a moment as she thinks. She knows Uncle J would never hurt her. "Yeah, it's ok."

Emily takes the cloth and wipes the dried blood away. The cut wasn't that deep and would only require a band-aid.

"Baby, I need to know what happened. Ok?"

"I can't. He said he would kill my mommy and daddy!"

"JJ, sweetie, look at me." James tells the girl softly. "If you tell me who did this, then I'll arrest him, I'll talk him to jail, and he won't be able to hurt you or your Mom and Dad again."

"Do you promise?"

"I promise, sweetie. If you don't know their name(s), then you can tell me what he looks like and I can draw him. Ok?"

"I k-know his n-name." JJ stutters out starting to cry.

"Ok, ok that's good. Tell me his name."

"He's my cousin Maddie's boyfriend. H-his name is J-Jacob."

"Oh…" Emily sighs.

"What? What is it! Do you know him?"

"Yes, his name is Jacob Pierce. He's in the 12th grade at my school."

"I'm sorry, Emmy!" JJ cries.

Emily shares a confused glance with James. "Jen, why are you sorry? This is in no way your fault. Ok? It's only Jacob's fault."

"I know that, but…but he said you would want to be friends with me anymore."

Outside At JJ's.

Over at the Jareau household Eli had dragged a semi-drunk Madeleine into the storm shelter. Jacob and the others had all run th moment Eli arrived home

He's pacing the length of the cellar furiously. He just can't understand why Madeleine would allow such a thing to happen to JJ. Why she would invite Jacob over, why she didn't make him leave the minute she found out he had alcohol, and why she invited even more people.

"What the hell were you thinking Maddie?! Letting your boyfriend take advantage of my baby sister."

"I didn't know he went upstairs! I didn't know he wold do that! He's a great guy, Eli! He never hurt me, not once!"

"Yeah, well, what the hell did you think was going to happen when he pulled the alcohol out. Why did you even invite him over? My parents trusted you! They trusted you to keep JJ safe! To keep her out of harms way and what did you do?! You invited a rapist over and let him be alone with JJ!"

"You better hope Jacob is gone. That he was able to get the hell away from here. Because if he shows back up here, then it'll be the last time he sees daylight."

"What are going to do? Murder him?"

"No, worse. He'll rot in jail for the rest of his pathetic life."

Ouside the storm raged on. The sky was pitch black and sirens could be heard from all over. Back in the cellar, James was asking JJ more questions.

"Jen, listen to me ok? I never told Jacob that. Never. I love you. Remeber. You're my little mariposa. You'll always be my butterfly. Nothing can ever change that. Ok?"

"Do you promise?"

"I promise, baby. Nothing will change that."

The rest of the evening was spent in silence. James would have to wait for JJ's parents to go down to the station to be able to question her.

But first?

First he would have to tell them that their baby was almost sexually assaulted earlier this afternoon.


The next chapter will have JJ at the station. Please review!
