Listen to that song peoples It was on a Criminal Minds episode, I don't know the name but you might know it Anyway…Enjoy…I guess ^_^ With that song playing I had tears in my eyes myself! I really like this story, one of the best I've written in my own opinion because I like Emilie 3 :D
There are two kinds of serial killers as far as the victim is concerned: the kind that you don't see before they pounce on you and the kind you see and don't expect to pounce on you. -Pat Brown
Reid sat helplessly on the bed. The only noise left was the music still playing upstairs. It had changed, to a song he remembered. His mother liked to listen to that kind of music. Reid had a good memory and knew it was "Dream a Little Dream Of Me."
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper
I love you
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
The bangs had stopped, and the sickening feeling was still in the pit of Reid's stomach. And he had right to be worried. Emilie was running blindly into the forest surrounding the house, knowing Corey had an advantage. He knew exactly where he was going.
His insomnia meant he spent a lot of time wandering around the house and had become familiar with the area. Although she couldn't hear him, she ran towards an old shed. It wasn't used, it had been there when they moved.
She hid behind it, her chest heaving from the effort of running so fast. Corey was around somewhere, and he would have a knife. Corey only killed with a knife.
Emilie was carefully planning out everything. She really didn't want to die. She still had so much to do. What about falling in love? Having kids, moving to somewhere exotic? Reid talked to her about it once, when Corey had gone and she was feeling lonely. He told her she could do whatever she wanted.
Dream a little dream of me.
Say "night-y night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me
You'll miss me.
Emilie froze, hearing Corey's soft crunching footsteps. He wasn't too far away from her, but she heard the shed door creeping open. She thanked the Gods that she hadn't decided to hide inside, and carefully ran back towards the house.
She was small, and unlike Corey she could be graceful. The rattling in the shed told her he was almost finished in there, and she ran into the house. The shed wasn't too far away, and it wouldn't take him long to figure out where she was.
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading
But I linger on dear
You could never calm Corey Robinson when he was mad. It was like trying to calm a bull by punching it repeatedly and annoying it. He had violent outbursts regularly.
Emilie fiddled with the lock on the door, sweat on her forehead. She cursed when she realized Corey had never locked the door. His paranoia got to him one day and he kicked in the whole door, convinced that FBI agents were waiting to kidnap him and erase his memory.
He fixed the door, but never did fix the lock, which Emilie was now silently cursing. She tried to think of where Corey hid the keys. Why hadn't she thought of this when she was calling JJ? Where were they? Would they ever find her in time?
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn dear
Just saying this:
Sweet dreams 'til sun beams find you
Think Emilie, she thought. The bowl! In the kitchen, there was a bowl that had all the keys in it, for the car that she couldn't drive or the basement…or Reid's chains.
She ran again, ignoring the fact her chest felt like it would collapse in on itself. Almost tumbling down the stairs, she saw the short-lived relief in Reid's eyes when he saw her. They immediately went back to panic, and he watched her with wide-eyes as she tried to open the locks.
The bang that echoed through the house made them both freeze, until Emilie started trying to unlock it. The first set wouldn't fit. He was in the hall, she could hear him. Corey slammed something, probably the phone.
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you.
But in your dreams
Whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me.
"You can do it Emilie," Reid urged, his voice quiet. And she almost had it, with Reid's wrist half way out when she was tugged back, and for once it was by her dress and not her hair.
The blue dress she wore came to her knees, the sleeves stopping at her elbows. The little black bow on her blue shoes made her look like your average innocent kid, and even if that was what she was, it was clear her brother didn't share the same innocence.
Stars fading
But I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn dear
Corey pulled her away from Reid, dragging her up the stairs. For the first time in a long while, Emilie actually screamed and hit at his arms, though Corey didn't seem to notice.
Reid yelled after him, pulling at the chains. They were almost lose, if he just pulled a little harder his hand would slip out and he could save Emilie's life. The thumping upstairs got louder, mixing in with the music.

This was all his fault. He should have waited, he shouldn't of brought Emilie into it all. JJ, hurry up. Morgan, where are you? He was pulling and pushing with everything he had. And that wasn't much.
The sounds of screams and yelling echoed in the house, with crashes and bangs. Corey's voice was the loudest, saying something like "You were with them the whole time! I knew I wasn't paranoid, you little liar Emilie, you little bitch, I trusted you!"

Emilie's own voice was weak, and he guessed that she wasn't yelling like he was. Reid couldn't blame her, he wouldn't raise his voice to someone like Corey if you paid him.
He had to get out of these chains. Emilie's voice wasn't loud anymore, barely mumbling. Reid's eyes widened again when he eventually did hear her scream at him. Emilie just didn't seem like the kinda kid to even scream at a mouse. But Reid had to get out, to protect her! It was all his fault Corey was mad at her in the first place…Right?
Reid let out a triumphant yelp when his wrist slipped out of the chain. When he did get out, he almost fell off the bed, gripping the sides of it to hold him up. His legs didn't feel like they could hold his weight, even though he was definitely not heavy.
Sweet dreams 'til sun beams find you
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you.
But in your dreams
Whatever they be
The sharp scream snapped Reid out of his pain, making him look up at the ceiling above him. That was Emilie's scream, and it would never leave Reid's mind. It made his stomach turn. He knew that even if Corey couldn't sleep – which Emilie had told him about before - that scream wouldn't leave his mind either.
A very loud thud was heard, and Reid knew what happened. He fell to the ground himself, tears coming out of his eyes already.
Emilie didn't make it.
