Reid's eyes felt extremely heavy as he tried to lift them, he was in the room he was before, chained yet again unfortunately but at least the light was on. Reid tried to lift himself but pain shocked his whole body and he collapsed to the cement floor.
"Yeah, I wouldn't get up sweetie, you took quite a beating," Delilah's voice advised getting up and looking at his wounds, "They'll take a while to heal but they'll heal none the less," She gave him a perky smile.
"Who were they? The triplets?" Reid said, straining himself to get back to a sitting position and succeeding this time.
"Oh them? Well the one in the cage with you was Ethan, the other two are Mason and Lucas don't worry they're nice when they're in the mood to be," Delilah made that sound like reassurance but Reid didn't feel the reassurance.
"How long have you been here?" Reid turned the focus on her, no matter what, werewolf or not, he was still a profiler and he still had to evaluate the situation as such and he could get through to Delilah, he knew he could get through to her.
"Are you profiling me, Doctor Spencer Reid?" Delilah asked slyly her usual wide grin upon her brilliantly light face.
"No," Reid quickly defended himself, "I was just wondering," Delilah considered for a moment, looking at Reid over before walking up and sitting beside Reid.
"I was turned when I was sixteen, seven years ago, I've been with him ever since," Reid could hear the regret and sorrow in Delilah's voice but her face revealed the most, her eyes downcast, her face drawn, she almost looked in flashback, her eyes were so focused.
"You've never seen your parents since then?" Reid asked, hoping to gain more trust from Delilah and hopefully get her away from this place, this life.
"I see them from time to time but I doubt they even are looking for me anymore," Delilah sighed, she was drowning in pain and Reid could understand that more than anything, he had seen so many families and victims go through this that he just didn't understand any of this anymore but somehow then he understood it more than anything else in this world.
"Delilah, trust me when I say this, your parents never ever would've given up on you, I have seen many families with missing children and they never stop thinking about their children, they never stop searching for their children," Reid comforted, giving a small but somehow strong smile to Delilah.
"They do?" Delilah rose with hope, she still thought about her parents every single day and whenever she got the chance, she managed to sneak out and see them, they usually went to a park, a small park, together. The park always seemed familiar to her but she could never understand why that was. Every time her parents went down to that park they always cried, sitting on a park bench, holding each other as they wept in each other's arms.
"I know they do," Reid reassured her as he awkwardly put his arm around her shoulder, she laughed at him when he did that, "What?" Reid asked, confusion with his eyes as he looked at her.
"You are so awkward at this," Delilah laughed at him, lighting the once sad mood and turning it into an easier going one.
"So, I'm being comforting to you and you throw it back in my face, fine," Reid joked, taking his arm back stubbornly and giving her a teasing smile as her mouth formed a big O shape at him, scoffing at Reid.
"You big baby," Delilah shot back pushing him gently, not enough to hurt the already in pain Dr. Reid, but enough to prove her point even more.
"Ow!" Reid overreacted towards the push, making it worse than it seemed and that was why she gave him the 'See' look, raising her eyebrow.
"You just made my point, just a big old baby," Delilah teased Reid, enjoying the first time in a long time where she has actually felt happy, free to be herself without worry or fear lingering on her shoulder. She felt like Reid was the first good person to come into her life, like he was the first person she has ever trusted with her life. She felt like she knew him.
"I am not old!" Reid looked at her in shock, "I'm only four years older than you!"
"Yeah, old," Delilah simply said which only seemed to further agitate the flustered Reid, who was forming red on his cheeks.
"Am not," Reid mumbled under his breath, then became silent, thinking and gathering his thoughts, "Why don't you leave? The alpha, this place, you would be so much more happier if you did," Reid asked, now looking, digging for more information, maybe even a way out of there.
"You don't understand, you make an oath to the alpha, you are then forever loyal, forever bound to the alpha, if in any way you go against your alpha it would be like trying to cut out your own kidney with a pen and then afterwards sticking that pen in your brain, it is impossible for a werewolf, loyal to their alpha, to do that to their alpha," Delilah explained to Reid and then that was when his brain started ticking, forming a plan from that information.
"What if I do it, I mean I haven't taken any sort of oath towards the alpha, so if I do it then I should feel anything like… having a pen cut out my kidney and then stab it in my brain," Reid asked, bouncing his idea off onto Delilah, who then looked hopeful for a minute but than that soon faded when another thought went through her mind.
"You wouldn't be strong enough, even with that freaky ability of yours, you wouldn't be able to take him without any sort of training but even than he's an alpha, he has triple the strength of any normal werewolf," Delilah said, trying to get Reid to see the many odds weighing against him and his plan.
"Well I do have an advantage, my ability, I can use that against him and you can train me," Reid reasoned with her, pointing out that he did have some advantages towards the alpha, more than he knew.
"Actually, I might have someone, well a few people who might be better at training you then I might be," Delilah gave in, letting her old smile creep upon her face.
"You seriously think that he can take on the alpha?" All three werewolves said in time, each staring at Reid, looking him over with disbelieving eyes.
"Come on you all know what he can do and you got to admit Ethan, he did survive a lot long than you wagered on," Delilah argued for Reid, Reid looked accusingly at Delilah as she said that.
"You guys wagered on me!" Reid said in almost betrayal as he looked at all four of them. The triplets looked amused by this but two of them looked a little disappointment.
"Yeah, I won the bet," The one on the far left spoke out in glee.
"Yeah, Mason, we know," The middle one said, he could only be Lucas as the one on the far right was Ethan. He could now tell them apart by the mini differences of each other's features. Ethan had a small scar on his left hand, many from before he became a werewolf because from what he knew all the wounds he got healed almost instantly after getting them. Lucas had a tattoo on right side of his neck, it was pentagram filled with different symbols. Reid knew that pentagrams were symbols of protection besides what other people believe that they are symbols for summoning and evil. Mason had a slimmer body build, he wasn't as fit compared to his brothers, who had strong Morgan like builds.
"What? I like rubbing it in," Mason shimmered with too much pride for a simple bet but then Reid thought they properly haven't seen much of the outside world and occupied themselves with whatever they could to keep them from going completely insane.
"As we know, it's all you talked about for the last couple of hours," Ethan sighed, rubbing his head in complete exhaustion from his brother's immaturity.
"Oh children stop bickering," Delilah said playfully, "Will you help us? You know you want to get out of this, you know you don't want to be with him anymore."
"Fine but we have to do it while the alpha is out otherwise he'll know what we're doing and you know how he is when he's angry," Ethan warned her, looking at Reid again, doubt in his eyes where clear. Ethan seemed like the older brother in the three, he was stern and more careful then the other two. Lucas the middle one, was responsible but didn't carry much weight on his shoulders, he was mature but not too mature and Mason was playful carefree as if he was still a child. But all together they seemed close knit, they would do anything for each other, they would protect each other with their lives. That was why Ethan was careful with all this hope he was putting on Reid, he was putting his brothers on the line and would certainly blame Reid with a thought if anything happened because of this plan.
"Yeah I know," Delilah mumbled, memories flooding her mind but she quickly shook them off and got back on focus, "So when should we begin?" She asked with a playful look in her eyes.
"Okay, when fighting a werewolf you can't let your emotions get in the way, you do that then you let go of the animal, that happens all logic leaves and you have less chance of surviving," Ethan said with an almost drill sergeant ring to it. It almost reminded him of Hotch. Reid was back in that cage, Delilah, Mason and Lucas weren't around, Ethan agreed with Reid to do private sessions, and it would give him more focus.
"Okay," Reid repeated him, trying to focus on that but not understanding how he would be able to work that out.
"It's one thing to say that, it's another to do it," Reid looked straight at Ethan before receiving a punch in the stomach. Reid gasped in pure shock, looking wildly at Ethan.
"What the hell was that for?" Reid growled at Ethan, glaring endlessly at Ethan who just gave him a blank stare.
"That's exactly what a mean, your eyes, they changed, you lost control, you can't do that while you're fighting the alpha, you do that and you die," Ethan said, his eyes directed straight into Reid's both challenging each other to say another word. When Reid broke the stare Ethan continued, "You need to think about your purest emotion, think about your family, your friends, let them pull you back, you master that and you can bet the alpha, the alpha has no one, no one that gives about him, you do, think about that."
Reid received another hit, right in the same spot he had just been hit before. Reid felt the overpowering emotions of rage wreck his body, the wolf growling within him, he thought about his family his friends but it wasn't strong enough he let them go and the wolf returned and he lost.
"You didn't think did you?" Ethan circled Reid, looking at him, seeing the animal come out of Reid.
"It's hard," Reid growled underneath his breath, looking at the ground in pure frustration.
"I don't know! How do you think I manage to maintain control, I know how it feels and now you have to learn it," Ethan said before giving Reid another punch in the stomach.
Reid didn't know how many punches he received before Delilah walked in and stopped Ethan, "Don't you think that's enough?"
"Hey, this was your plan, my brothers lives are on the line, are being trusted on him, we'll stop when he learns how to control it and we haven't done that yet," Ethan battered off Delilah's attempt to stop him and gave Reid another hit. Reid felt pain burst through his stomach but this time pulled in his family, his friends. His Mum, Morgan, Hotch, JJ, Prentiss, Rossi, Garcia, all of them flashed through his mind. They all pulled him back to his human state, not letting the animal control him anymore. He wasn't just doing this for himself or Delilah he was also doing this because of three brothers who had their childhood robbed from them, he wasn't just doing this for his own family but for Delilah's and the brothers.
"See, that's what I'm talking about," Ethan even let a small smile tug his face, and Delilah looked overwhelmed, hope finally radiating from her and they actually felt the sun on the other side of this gloomy night.
