Chapter 2 Run

Sleep evaded me that night. No matter how many times I tossed and turned I just couldn't sleep. Every single noise had me on edge and it just wouldn't stop. I kept hearing his voice in my head. His voice telling me that I was right where he wanted me. Eventually I just gave up and got up and made my way to the living room. I saw Spencer sitting there and I quietly went to join him. He looked at me and gave me a weak smile. The silence continued until eventually he broke it.

"Kimber, he said he had you right where he wanted you. Is there any way at all that you could know this guy?"

I looked at him and I knew that eventually I would have to tell him. So I braced myself to tell Spencer Reid my story.

"My last name isn't Winchester. It's Weston. I was born and raised in a small town in Kentucky. I had a normal childhood. I started playing the violin whenever I was five. My parents loved to watch me play. One night after a recital we were on our way home when some guy rear ended us. They were in a black four-door sedan with tinted windows. I remember my parents telling me to get in the floorboard, and so I did. The guy came up and started yelling at us. Next thing I knew my ears were ringing with gun shots. I stayed as quite as possible and I heard the guy leave and I looked up and all I saw was blood. I got scared and I ran. I have been on the run ever since. What if he's came back to finish the job. What if this is the guy that killed my parents?"

"It's a possibility. Why didn't you tell us this before?"

I felt tears start to sting my eyes and I tried to breathe as they started to roll down my cheeks.

"I've been on the run for years. I've ruined every chance at being with a family that I ever had. I'm ashamed of who I was then. I wish I could just forget it all. I'm just so tired of running Spencer."

He didn't say anything. It was then that I saw a picture on my coffee table of a beautiful woman with soft eyes and long brown hair. 'Must be his girlfriend.'

"It hurts like hell. Losing someone that you love. Ever since I lost my parents I've felt so empty inside. I told myself I would never open to anyone or anything. That changed about three years ago I met this boy. He swept me up off my feet. We were supposed to get married but on our wedding day he was attacked and killed while on his way to the chapel. If it wasn't for Sydney I would have lost my sanity."

He then picked up the picture and placed it back in his billfold. I gave him a weak smile, slowly got up off the couch, and crawled back into bed. That night I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up the next morning and I could barely open my eyes they were so red and puffy. I slowly sat up and looked outside the window. The sun was shining. It was a beautiful day but I couldn't bring myself to smile. A knock on the door brought me out of my stupor. It was Spencer.

"The team would like to talk to you. If your up to it."

"Yeah I'll be right there."

He gave you a small smile and made his way back into your living room. You took a deep breath and followed him. In your living room was the whole team and you knew that you would have to tell them exactly what you had told Dr. Reid the night before. So I did. Afterwards, the team got with their tech analyst to see if she could trace the voicemail that was left on your machine. Sadly, it was traced to a disposable cell. It seemed like they were getting nowhere and all you wanted to do was cry. Spencer comforted you once more and told you that they would find the guy. We just had to wait for him to slip up they said. So I waited there at the house with Spencer while the rest of the team took up another lead. Another girl had went missing last night. I was sitting on the couch whenever the phone rang. I looked to Spencer and he nodded at me while shooting a text to his analyst letting her know to trace the call.

"Hello."

"Well hello there darling. You're terrified aren't you little bitch? You should be. For every day you stay alive in this world another girl will go missing. You have three days. If I don't have you by then they all die. Don't run away. Face your destiny."

He hung up and I practically threw the phone on the ground. I was so scared. I sank to the floor and began to sob. Spencer got a phone call saying that they had an address and that the team was going there now. He slowly made his way over to me and sat with me in the floor. Without warning I wrapped my arms around him and began to sob in his chest. He placed his arms around me and just held me there. I could tell that he was uncomfortable but he held me. I slowly drifted off to sleep in his arms.
