All mistakes are my own

He had sat in the hole for hours, he was freezing and his fingers hurt from trying to get out of the hole. A stick cracked nearby, he brought his knees up to his chest and didn't dare look up. The monster jumped in with a small stool. Reid whimpered as a hand grabbed around his throat and dragged him to his feet. "You're in so much trouble, boy!"

He threw Reid to the floor and bound his hands and feet. He brought him up and stood on the stool. He threw Reid out of the hole before jumping out himself.

"Please, please, please don't hurt me," Reid whispered to himself. The monster grabbed his shaggy hair and dragged him back to the house. He cried out in pain as he felt strands of his hair rip from his scalp. He hit the floor with a thud as they came back into the house. He looked up at the monster. "I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me. You can't blame for trying. I-I just want to see my family again."

The monster brutally hit him across the face, he tried to curl into a ball as the beating continued but the monster kept bringing him out of it.

"THIS WILL TEACH YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BREAK MY RULES. I GIVE YOU A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND I GIVE YOU FOOD!" the monster screamed in his face before punching him repeatedly. A metallic taste touched Reid's tongue as blood dripped into his mouth from his nose. The beating continued for two more minutes before the monster stopped and got to his feet. Reid's whole screamed fiery pain at his brain and he rolled to his stomach to stop himself from choking on the blood pouring from his nose and into his mouth. He wanted to pass out but his body refused to let him.

He felt tears mix with the blood and whimpered as the monster returned. He heard the man unbuckle his belt and a weight on his hips.

"Nooo..." Reid whined as he got turned on his stomach and his face pressed against the floor. He opened his mouth in a silent sob as another session began.

"I'm gonna teach you a lesson, boy."

Reid snapped out of the memory as Morgan put a plate of food in front of him. He looked down at the food and quickly left the table. He ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. He reached the toilet and vomited. He coughed as he leaned against the toilet bowel. The bathroom door opened and Morgan stepped in.

"Kid, what is it?"

"I don't know. I just had the urge to empty my stomach. I was thinking again. Remembering the time that I managed to escape. He starved and sleep deprived me for days after beating and violating me for hours. I heard his damn belt buckle. I was in so much pain already and he just used me. I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Morgan said before he wiped Reid's mouth with some tissue and helped him to his feet. "We all know that this isn't going to be a quick recovery, no matter how much we wish it was. It'll take time for you to walk around like yourself again. You need to eat though. The doctor said that you needed to gain weight and keep your strength up."

Reid nodded and allowed Morgan to guide him back to the kitchen. He sat back at the table and watched Morgan take a bite of the different foods on his plate. He picked up the fork and watched as Morgan took a seat across from him. He would only eat if food was packaged or if someone tasted his food too.

He twirled the fork in the noodles and ate a large bite.

"It's good to see you eating more," Morgan smiled.

"I guess my body is getting used to having more food. Please, let me do something to thank you for all this food. Let me clean up or organise something."

"Kid, having you here, safe and sound, is the biggest thank you I could get. You were missing for a year and that was year of missed nights out, missed family gatherings and nightmares. I had the most horrible dreams."

"What nightmares did you have?"

Morgan swallowed his food and put down his fork. "They were different each time. One of the my dreams, was of the team and me, finding you dead in some ditch. I woke up that night and I struggled to sleep for the next week. In the dream, you were in the ditch and your eyes were open and frightened. You'd been stabbed to death. In the dream, I just jumped into the ditch, picked up your body and broke down. The second nightmare, you were alive and screaming for help. I tried to get to you but you kept getting lost in the darkness. I had a lot more and unfortunately, some of them turned out to really be happening to you."

Reid stayed silent and took another bite of his food. He swallowed and spoke. "I'm sorry."

"Stop saying sorry," Morgan said gently.

"Why aren't you going to Chicago?" Reid asked.

"What do you mean?"

"In three days time, it's usually the date when you go and see your mother and sisters. Why aren't you going to them?"

"I actually needed to talk to you. They are coming here. I explained everything but they are adamant about seeing me because they didn't see me last year. It'll only be for a few days they stay and Garcia has offered to take care of you if you don't want to stay here whem my mom and sisters are here during the day."

"I'd like to stay here. I'm used to here and I know where to hide if things go wrong."

"You'll never have to hide again, you know that."

Three weeks later

He wandered around the forest with his hands bound behind his back and a leash around his neck. A blindfold was tightly around his eyes so he couldn't see anything. He cried and felt the collar around his neck tighten as the leash reached its limit. The smell of wet grass filled the air and he could hear birds and animals around him. The man had put him out here while a special surprise got ready.

"Morgan," he whimpered. "I need your help. Hotch, JJ, any of you. I wanna go home."

He tried to run as he heard footsteps coming near him. He fell as the leash tightened and he lost his balance. He got pulled across the floor by the leash and struggled to breathe as it pressed down on his throat. Feeling the familiar floors of the house, he let out a cry and he got thrown to the floor. The monster touched him. "Guess what today is?"

"I don't know," he said as he felt a hand in his hair.

"It's your birthday! It's October 9th! You're 33 now. We're going to give you a special day."

He felt hands tug his trousers while another forced pills into his mouth and made him swallow them. "No!" he cried as they began to hurt him. He became dizzy and drowsy as the drugs took hold.

Morgan greeted his mother and sisters as they came into his house.

"Oh, it's wonderful to see you again. Derek, you've not seen us in a long time," Fran said.

"I'm sorry, mom. I've just had a lot to deal with."

Sarah was about to talk when Reid began shouting from his bedroom.

"Morgan! Stop!"

"Wait here," he said quickly as he rushed upstairs and found Reid screaming into the pillow. Morgan rushed over and shook Reid awake. Reid fought against Morgan and only calmed down when Morgan wrapped his arms around Reid to keep him still. "Shhh...it's okay."

"My birthday surprise!" Reid said as he gasped for air. "Oh my god, they did so much."

"Calm down, it was just a memory."

"They both hurt me, at the same time, I repressed it. They did too much and I repressed it. I only remembered it till now."

Reid heard voices from downstairs. "Who is here?"

"My mom and sisters," Morgan quickly explained. Reid wiggled out of Morgan's grasp and went to the bathroom.

"Go to them. Just go, please," Reid cried before closing the door. Morgan tried to stop the door closing but failed as Reid locked it. He leaned against the door and listened to Reid cry quietly.

"Reid, come downstairs when you calm down. Just remember that Brandon is dead and Lincoln is in jail."

He walked away from the door knowing that Reid wasn't going to calm down soon and wanted to be left alone. There wasn't anything that Reid could harm himself with in there and he knew Reid would never do that. He made his way down the stairs to find his family sitting in the living room.

"What was that?" Désirée asked.

"That was Reid," Morgan said sadly before sitting next to his mother. "He was having a nightmare. I know you are staying at the hotel but when you are in the house, just be careful around him. He's been through a tremendous amount of pain and horror. He's scared and not used to normal things yet."

"Where is he now?" Sarah said.

"In the bathroom, crying. He can't hurt himself in there and he wants to sit alone."

"Oh, that poor boy," Fran shook her head.

Reid sat numbly in the bathroom. A knock came at his door. He opened the door but returned sitting against the floor. He smiled gently as Garcia came into the bathroom and sat down next to him. "Hey, baby boy."

"What are you doing here?" Reid asked, his voice different due to the crying. Garcia took a pink tissue from her pocket and wiped the tears from his face.

"Morgan called and asked me to come over. You've been in here for over an hour according to him. Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"My birthday, not long before you found me. They both hurt me brutally and until now, I repressed that day. Even when Henry gave me the key ring, I couldn't remember it. I'm never going to be normal again."

"Oh sweetheart," she said, her own tears forming. "Come here."

Reid hugged Garcia and felt comforted as she stroked her hand down his back. "They can't hurt you, no-one can hurt you. We'll protect you."
