Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I'm doing better today but not much better as I totally messed up sending an important document off, I forgot to sign it and need it back to send it off again. Your reviews have kept me going today and I really appreciate them all. The next few chapters are going to kick ass and I'm so excited to write them. I'm going to have some funny moments in the next chapter. We'll see a side we've never seen in our Reid before. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're beautiful, amazing readers who I love for being there and love for reading my stories. Thank you!

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

"Where are we going?" Reid asked the happy version on himself as they ran towards a small forest not far from the trampoline. The happy part of himself was holding Garcia's hand and leading her to the forest. He stopped just before the edge of the forest and looked back as the banging got louder. He turned to Garcia and gave her a loving hug, he came away and looked into her eyes. "Never stop being who you are, Garcia. We depend on you more than you know."

Reid and his other self exchanged a glance, one that Garcia took note of. She looked back to the happy version of her baby boy and touched his cheek. "Don't worry, I'll try to bring you more happiness."

"Please do," the other version grinned before he walked over and pushed Reid toward the forest with Garcia. "Run and you'll find yourself someplace safe for a while. I'll try to hold him up. You need to trap him or you'll never escape from him. Lock him away for good."

"How am I supposed to do that?"

His other self came up to him and took him aside for a moment, no smile gracing his lips this time. "You do it for her. She is our best friend and she is one of my favourite people in the world, she's never gone against us and trust me, she's in danger here. Just not from who you think. Your memories can hurt her just as much as they can hurt you. Now, go! Don't you dare let anything happen to her."

Reid nodded for a moment, his thoughts in a daze. He went back to Garcia and took her hand, they began to run through the forest.

The happy version of Reid quickly made his way back to the trampoline, he watched as the dark version came marching towards him. "WHERE ARE THEY?!" he screamed.

"What an awful noise you make?" the nice Reid smirked.

"I can hurt you," the dark one growled. "Just like I'm going to hurt him."

"Your threats are empty, little shadow. You can't kill him and you can't harm me, not yet anyway."

"Why do you protect a weakling like him? The sad one has more power than you, you could join me and I'd bring you lots of happiness."

"The kind of happiness that I will never embrace. He's capable of letting you out but I know he never will. He doesn't like killing and he will never give into the dark thoughts that you whisper into his mind. I believe in him, he's stronger than you. You'll be back in a stronger and bigger cage soon enough and I'm sure he'll double the chains on that one. You can't hurt me because I'm part of him. None of us can harm each other without doing damage to us all. Chase them all you want but you'll never win."

"We'll see about that," the dark one snapped angrily before going back to the metal door he had come in through. "Oh, I'm not able to kill you but you'll be the first one I corrupt."

"We'll see about that."

The door slammed shut leaving him alone in his garden again. He walked over to the trampoline but didn't feel the urge to jump anymore. They were all in danger if the dark one took control. Happiness came from helping people, he had to help the leader of them all, the one who brought them all together.

"Reid, what is going on?" Garcia asked as they walked through the forest. "I feel like someone just slipped me ecstasy."

"How would you know how ecstasy feels?" he questioned.

"Another discussion for another time," she said to change the subject. "Reid, who are we running from?"

"There is a part of me that has all my dark thoughts, every fleeting thought of revenge, every lust, every cruel notion that I would never act upon. Everyone has these feelings, Garcia, no-one can deny that. I thought he was the weak one but he isn't, he's every bad thing about me and now he's coming after me because he wants full control when I'm awake."

"There isn't anything bad about you," Garcia said.

"There is something bad in everyone," he shook his head. "He's the one not letting me wake up. I need to lock him back up."

"Why not kill him?"

"Could you kill part of your soul? I'm not stupid, if I kill him, I hurt myself. The other one feared him but I never saw the fear of death in him."

"I wish we saw that happy Reid more often."

"I wish I could let him out more often but I can't."

"Why?"

"I've been hurt too much in my life to ever let him come out more than he needs to. He'll get hurt because the world isn't a kind place."

Hotch walked back into the BAU, he made his way up the stairs with bags under his eyes and a weary feeling in his bones. The others had sent him back to keep an eye on Reid and to support Garcia. As he opened the door, he felt horror run through him.

He ran to the couch and picked Garcia up from Reid's chest, he sat her up against the back of it and took her face in his hands. "Garcia, wake up!"

He picked up the glass on the floor and looked back to her. "What did you do?"

As they left the forest, they came to a small shack. "Reid, what is this?"

"I'm not sure, it's not a memory."

They walked to the cabin and pushed open the door, as they walked in, they found another version of Reid sitting with a picture in his hand. He put the photo down and walked over. "I wondered when you would get here."

"Which one are you?" Garcia asked.

Within seconds, the new version had his arms around Garcia and had dipped her down, he smiled at her and winked. "I'm the sexy one."
