A/N This chapter became a little bit shorter than the others, sorry about that. I hope you'll still enjoy it:)

Chapter 3

When Emily had first heard the voice she had cursed herself for wandering off alone, without a weapon. She leaned against the bathroom door, processing what she had heard. Weapons? Why was she even thinking about defending herself? Nothing besides the voice indicated that someone besides she and her friends were in the house. It could be a prank too. Maybe it was Morgan or Reid. They liked practical jokes and now they were trying to scare her. It just came a little too convenient that just when she found herself alone on the middle floor, the lights went out and this almost scary voice came on from somewhere in the house. They were probably all laughing downstairs. Nice try... She didn't fall for it. So she just shrugged it off as that, a stupid joke.

She proceeded into the bathroom, still needing to pee really badly. After locking the door she found her way to the toilet. The candles were still burning brightly, it seemed as if Rossi had put new ones sometime during the night and Morgan or Reid had apparently not thought about blowing them out. Emily chuckled as she sat down and sighed in content when the pressure in her bladder was relieved. She inhaled the sweet vanilla scent. He'd even changed the scent, before it had been some flower and mint. Emily preferred this one, though. It made her more relaxed. She didn't know how long she sat there before she gathered her strength to get off the toilet and quickly wash her hands. Taking a handful of water, she bent her head forward to wash herself. She stared at herself in the mirror for a few seconds, she looked just as tired as she felt, before she unlocked the door again. Slowly, she opened the door, peaking outside just in case someone would jump out from behind it, but no one did. It was quiet. Just another thing telling her that this was a set up. Well, two can play that game, she thought as she walked through the hallways, always with a hand on the wall, in the opposite direction of the stairs leading to the bottom floor. Question was how to make them not find her. She was pretty sleepy, so she decided for one of the bedrooms on the middle floor. Her first thought was to go up a floor, but the dark might get her lost and she didn't want to risk it. Rossi really had a big mansion and she didn't really know her way around there. She wondered what they would think when she didn't come back down. Would they get worried, think they'd gone too far with the joke? Of course they wouldn't be worried that she was gone, there was no out from the second floor if she didn't want to jump some height. But there was the possibility of her being scared shitless or maybe hurting herself in the dark. Whatever they would think, she wouldn't be the one coming down and seeing their smug faces. She would let them join her in the darkness and in turn, scare them. First she needed a bed, though, before her brain shut off completely.

She found a door and stumbled inside. It was dark in there so she didn't know if it was a bedroom. She felt her way around and felt something soft, made of leather. A couch, that much she knew. She continued through the room, but there was no bed so she stumbled back out again, hitting only a few obstacles on the way. When she finally stumbled out of that room she felt even more exhausted than she had been before. It must have been the wine. As quickly as she could she opened the next door and felt her way to something that she knew felt like a bed. She pulled the covers off and crawled in, enjoying the warmth and the comfort of the covers. Just when she had found the peace to sleep she heard the voice again, jolting her awake, and somehow she was sure this wasn't their prank anymore.

"Your analyst is right. Game number 1. Find your missing agent. It shouldn't be too hard for you, considering your occupation."

Missing agent? Emily thought. It had to be her they meant, or maybe more of them was wandering around too. No, all of them had remained on the bottom floor. But she wasn't missing. Neither Morgan nor Reid would have proceeded like this. 'Your analyst is right.' That had to be Garcia. Emily couldn't possibly know what she was right about so why put that in the prank.

"The blonde is once again right. Little Jack and Henry are allowed to leave."

Emily fought through her sleepiness, wanting to get out of bed and help the others, but she was just so comfortable. Garcia had at least managed to get the kids out, but why didn't they all just leave? She would join them as soon as her nap was over.

"I'll let the kids, Jennifer and Beth out. If you could please walk over to the door. Alone." She heard the voice again and listened intently for it to continue. "And I trust you not to call the police. The sound of sirens might just make me accidentally kill them all."

Emily's heart dropped. This couldn't be real. Maybe she was imagining it all, her mind was pretty lucid after all, or maybe it was the guys' prank after all. It would be better to think like that. The voice, however, sounded like one side of a conversation, which meant it had to be another side to it. One where her team was answering him. Emily felt her eyes flutter closed. Please don't sleep, please don't sleep... She begged herself, but she still couldn't open her eyes again.

"Now where were we? Right... Emily is trapped somewhere and you need to find her. Good luck!"

With that her eyes shot open only for a couple of seconds.

"I'm not trapped," she tried to scream, but it was more as if she was talking to herself, her voice was so quiet. Then her eyes closed again with a sigh. "I'm right here. I'm not trapped. I just need to... Rest."

The last words came out in the lowest of whispers as she drifted off into a deep slumber, far away from the nightmare they would soon be facing.

A/N There you have it! Now you know what Emily was up to while the team tried to find a way out. Next chapter will be more team and a little unsub too perhaps. Someone might get hurt too, who knows!
