Here is another lovely chapter for you all. I would like to throw a big thank you Alison Burns for her support. You've been great.

Ok I have to get something off my chest and I hope I'm not offending anybody by saying this. I have just noticed that since I first posted the first fanfic featuring my vampire Reid I have noticed a lot more popping up. Or am I just paranoid?

All mistakes are my own.

Please enjoy and please review (it's totally up to you).

Garcia was wiping sweat off Reid's brow when she heard Hotch's car pull into the driveway. Garcia let out a small breath of relief. All she wanted was for her Reid to get better.

Hotch, Morgan and Rossi walked in the bedroom about a minute later carrying a few large plastic bottles full of crimson red blood. She noticed the blood spatter on their shirts but she chose to ignore the issue of where they had recieved the blood.

"How is he doing?" Hotch asked as he began to unscrew the cap of the bottle.

"He woke up briefly and started talking but I think the pain became too much for him to bear. Hotch he's been through so much" Garcia said softly as she held Reid's hand and used her other one to push down the cold cloth on his forehead. She stroked her thumb over his hand to tell Reid that she was still there. Garcia knew she was never going to leave his side again. She had lost her best friend once and she wasn't going to let it happen again.

"Hopefully this will help" Hotch said as he travelled to Reid's side with the open bottle in hand. Hotch brought the bottle to Reid's lips and hoped that the smell would bring Reid back to conciousness.

Reid had never felt this level of pain. His blood felt like pure fire, his insides felt like they were slowly rotting away. He had been through a lot over the last fifteen years. Reid had learnt that pain was part of being a vampire. He had learnt the horrible pain of being deprived of blood. He had been shot and stabbed multiple times, thrown of a building and the victim of Dead man's blood a few times after his first encounter with it. He remembered thinking that living a quiet life would satisfy him. He had been wrong.

Taylor. His beautiful Taylor had opened his eyes to the wonders of being a vampire. Reid thought of her as much as he could. The searing pain was easier to ignore if he thought about her and the warm feeling she would bring to his heart.

He remembered how they first met. She had found him on the middle of crowd. He remembered taking her to hunt with him and introducing her to animal blood.

His mind went into overdrive thinking about her. He couldn't stop the biggest pain within him from escaping. The pain of losing her.

Five years ago

Reid had arrived home to find his and Taylor's apartment in ruins. There was glass everywhere and blood was scattered across one of the walls. Reid walked in further to see a sight he had never wanted to see.

Laying on the floor was a headless corpse. Reid ran over to the body and collapsed next to it when he realised who it looked over to the wall and wanted to scream with rage and anger. Wide and painful eyes stared back at him, Taylor's head looked at him as if to haunt him.

Reid mind ripped away from the memory when a heavenly and mouth watering scent hit his sense of smell. There was fresh blood near him and he wanted it. He wanted it now. He felt the edge of a plastic bottle invade his lips, a small voice followed the invasion, it was soft and commanded him to drink.

Reid let his tongue run over the edge of the bottle. He licked the edge and felt his body tingle slightly. He began to drink and gulp down the glorius golden liquid. He felt the warmth and rush of life surge through him as he gulped the bottle down greedily.

Hotch started to smile as he saw Reid drink and gulp down the bottle. Reid was like a man who had been trapped in a searing hot desert who had just found water.

Morgan passed him another bottle and they watched happily as Reid opened his eyes, grabbed the bottle and down it as fast as the first.

Reid was about to go for the third bottle before he felt Garcia's hand on his wrist.

"Reid you have to save some for later" she smiled at him. He looked at her for a moment and noticed that she wasn't afraid of him. He knew his eyes were red but it seemed that Garcia didn't care. He licked a stray line of blood from his chin and nodded at her. They all started to notice that Reid was healing. Reid pulled down his shirt slightly and caught a glimpse of his shoulder as it finished healing. He looked back over to his team and smiled.

"Thank you. I forgot how much I need you" he smiled.

Garcia launched herself onto Reid and wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm so happy you are alright. Never scare me like that again" she said before laying her head on his shoulder. She felt Reid's hand on her back and smiled.

"I'll try."

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
