You guys don't know how bad I feel about making you wait for so long but here ya go! Haha... no one?
Anyways, in this one you sorta get to know Damian better which is good and I like him and Morgan finally gets that yes Reid is a werewolf and that all that stuff is real... which it is!
Same warnings and I still don't own Criminal Minds!
"Yes it is," He walked closer to me, "And soon that werewolf or alpha will be coming after to him so I suggest you listen to me, otherwise Reid here won't live."
I looked at him, he was right. I can't deny the facts but it was crazy. None of this was possible, it wasn't supposed to be possible, as Reid would say it was illogical but of course facts were facts.
"What do we do?" I wasn't an expert, as much as I hated having to trust this guy Reid was depending on me and I will be damned if I let him down a second time this week.
"Best thing we could do is take down the alpha," He shrugged as if it was the simplest, the most logical solution to all of our problems, "But for me to do that I need someone else to help me," He signaled down to Reid, who still seemed so peaceful so tranquil but that was only on the outside god knows how he was thinking, what he was dreaming.
"No way man, Reid has already been through enough, you're are not pulling him into that shit," I growled, Damian wasn't going to use Reid like some sort of weapon, not now, not ever.
"He is already in this shit, so we don't have much of a choice here do we, you can either trust me or you can let him die a bloody death or become something you would have to kill," Damian let off. I stood there speechless, what did he mean? He couldn't possible… No, that… Reid wouldn't do that. Reid couldn't. He was just Reid. Innocent, harmless Reid. What could possible make him turn into something so horrible, to become a monster.
"No Reid wouldn't do that," I mumbled, half angry, half shocked. This was Reid, he felt horrible for just doing the simplest of things. He wouldn't turn into something that would kill. He would rather die… No.
"I believe that but if the alpha finds him, he has two choices, join or die and from what I can tell he would choose to die, so I suggest you get him as far away from here at least then we'll have some time to prepare because this is our only option here," He seemed to lighten up, he looked so stone cold but when Morgan looked at Damian, he could see more. He wasn't always like this, he was once properly a happy kid with a whole life ahead of him but now he was hiding and on the run from a monster but also from humans. It was like he would never be accepted by either. Humans judged and hated him and these creatures hunted him and hurt him. He could see that now. How broken he was but he wasn't going to make Reid that way, he was going to protect him, he was going to make sure of that.
"What about my team, they need to…" Morgan was quickly interrupted.
"No!" Damian's eyes widen, he almost looked frighten, "No they can't know, it's already dangerous that you know, if word gets out about us then… then something could happen."
"What are you afraid of?" Morgan asked, he could see the hidden fear in the man's eyes that was now retracted and he seemed emotionless again.
"Nothing, we just need to be careful," He angrily replied, "You guys need to get back to wherever the hell you came from and I'll follow, I should be there in a few days."
"Okay," I nodded, "You'll help him right?" It seemed pitiful to ask such a question when I already knew Damian was helping but I had to make sure, I didn't want to put false hope into him.
"Yeah but it'll be hard," He looked out into the hallway when he spotted them, "I've got to go, tell me where to head and I'll be there," and with that, in almost a blink of an eye, Damian was gone. Out of sight. Morgan shook his head, it was a lot, more than he thought he could handle but if started to think like that then he was being selfish, this was about Reid, not him. He had to do whatever it he could to protect his little brother.
A soft little knock on the door drew his attention from his thought as he saw the happy but sad face of JJ.
"How's he doing?" She asked quietly as if not to wake the sleeping man in the hospital bed.
"He'll be alright," I answered but not practically to JJ but more to me, as if to reassure myself that he'll be okay but truth be told, I didn't know that heck I didn't know is in truth Reid would wake up the same person now. Everything I learnt know has clouded me, forced me to see everything as it was now. Reid could wake up a different person, he could wake up and not care anymore and that stung more than anything. It meant that I wouldn't have my little brother anymore, I would have this stranger, who didn't care about anything, who didn't care about people, didn't care about his family.
"Well if you need anything just say, we here for you, both of you," Her voice was so reassuring that I almost forgot everything, everything that happened. But then the curtains came off and it all came rushing back and I wanted so hard to just tell her about what was happening but I knew what would happen. No one will believe me and in the long run I would only be putting Reid in danger and that was the last thing in the world I want to be doing right now. So I nodded silently and with a small smile she left both of us in the room and I rested myself on the uncomfortable chair and laid my eyes onto to Reid, thinking if I looked away than he would be gone and I would be alone.
If Damian was telling the truth than this could ruin Reid, his life would never be the same. It would destroy him, everything about him. But a thought struck my mind. If Damian was able to control this… thing than maybe he could teach Reid, maybe Reid wouldn't change, maybe just maybe, Reid will be okay.
Damian stood in the empty house that was his, well he couldn't say his, it was originally his uncle's but he doesn't see him using it in the future. This Reid kid could help him. He could get rid of the alpha and then most of his problems would be gone but it depended on how the kid cooped. It's never easy teaching a new werewolf. Never is. Sometimes they turn out horrible, they lose control and just turn into monsters, tearing people apart without blinking, remorseless of what they had done. But something seemed different about this one, he seemed almost… controllable. That wasn't a good description but at the moment that's all he was picking up. He would be able to control it if he was taught how, if he was willing to.
Damian looked out the window, tonight was not a full moon but that didn't mean it wasn't safe. Alphas are masters at turning. They can turn at free will but this alpha seemed to only come out a full moon which gave him another month before they would start getting hunting by the alpha, it wasn't long but it would have to do. Reid was strong that much was clear and stubborn both were good traits in this world.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to review and stuff and thanks again!
