Sorry for the slow updates I know that I used to be ultra fast with my updates.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, it shares a bit of background.

Enjoy and reviews would be wonderful.

All mistakes are my own.

Reid pulled away from Garcia's hug and pulled himself off the bed.

"Reid stay on the bed. You need to rest, you were practically near death's door before we gave you the blood" Garcia pleaded slightly as she moved off the bed and over to Reid.

Reid felt her hands on his chest as she was trying to push him back onto the bed. Reid gently grabbed her wrists and held them in front of him.

He looked at her and realised how much she had changed since he last saw her in the hospital. He saw the faint wrinkles around her eyes, he saw the effects of age and felt slightly jealous of her. He also felt immense guilt for seeing them older while he remained frozen like a photograph.

"Garcia I'm fine. All I needed was a little blood" he smiled before gently pushing her wrists to her sides. She smiled back and him.

"Reid. Would you care to explain anything? Would you care to explain how you ended up lying in my house almost dead?" Hotch said with a small amount of hate in his voice.

Reid realised that no matter what he did Hotch was going to have a hard time forgiving him.

Hotch had been unable to stop the small slither of hate slipping through his voice. It had been hard for Hotch to accept that Reid was really back. He had helped him get blood so he could recieve answers on why Reid left. He wanted to know why Reid abandoned them. For a small amount of time Hotch had thought about Reid being no better than his William Reid but he had banished those types of thoughts long ago.

"It's a long story" Reid said trying to get them away from the subject.

"Reid, Hotch isn't the only one with questions. I think I speak for all of us, we want answers" Morgan argued back before Hotch could even get a word in. The rest of the team came into the room and looked at Reid waiting for answers.

Reid leaned up against the wall and decided that he wasn't getting out of Hotch's house till her told the team everything.

"I killed the vampire family that held me captive when I first turned. You have no idea how badly I wanted to come back to you all but I knew I couldn't. I'm not human anymore and I don't age. I look you all and feel immense pain and guilt, I have to watch you all die while I'll live on forever. Alone" Reid said with sadness thick in his words.

"I spent time away from anywhere populated. I lived in solitude before I decided to come into the city again. I visited you all to check up on you. I almost revealed myself to you but I decided against it" Reid continued.

"I saw you, I thought I was imagining things but I saw you" Hotch said making Reid's eyes go wide for a second. Reid cursed himself for being so reckless, he was just glad that Hotch had put it down to his mind playing tricks.

"Guess I wasn't as fast as I thought. I got an apartment just outside the city, I sleep in the day and I'm awake at night. Three years after leaving you I met Taylor" Reid smiled. He looked at the team and saw a mixture of sadness across their faces.

"You must have loved her" Garcia smiled weakly at him.

"I did, I loved her so much that we got married. We spent seven wonderful years together, she had a few problems with her hunger for blood but she got through it with my help. Five years ago I lost her to that bastard" Reid said as anger started to rise within his blood.

"I came home and she had had her head severed. It was a message to me, I later found out that she wouldn't give me up. She had told them that I had left but they didn't believe her. THey wanted me to suffer and suffer I did" Reid said with a animalistic growl creepy into his throat.

"Calm down Reid" JJ asked in a calm, motherly voice.

"I'm sorry but I get angry when I talk about it. When I had cremated Taylor I looked for those who had killed her. I found them a few weeks later in Washington D.C, they were tracking some vampires. I found them loading their gear up and I attacked them. I-" Reid stopped mid way through his sentence.

He didn't want to tell them what he did, he didn't want to sound like an Unsub.

"Reid you can tell us. We aren't going to judge you" Emily assured Reid. He nodded before he continued.

"I killed one of them instantly, I ripped out his throat and fed from him. It was the first time in ten years that I had tasted human blood. I injured the second hunter and tortured him for information. I-I I enjoyed watching him scream in pain. He woudn't tell me where Harrison was but I was able to see a photo of him. The man I tortured had helped kill Taylor. I broke both his legs, one of his arms and caused him immense pain. I killed him by smashing his head against his car repeatedly" Reid said in a eerily calm but angered voice.

The room was silent for a second before Reid decided to continue.

"I searched for Harrison but he covered his tracks. Last night after I saved Spencer I was confronted by Harrison and another woman. We exchanged words and then he attacked me. I want to know what was on the arrows. It was Dead Man's Blood mixed with something foreign. Then I came here" Reid finished and decided that this was probably the last time he would see his team.

He knew after hearing of how he had murdered people that they would probably draw their guns out and attempt to kill him.

"I'm so sorry Reid" Hotch said sadly before giving Reid a hug. Reid stiffened at the contact but awkwardly returned the hug.

Glass flew to the ground as an unknown object shot through the window.

Hotch and Reid pulled away and looked at each other for a moment with wide eyes till Hotch fell to the floor to his stomach.

"NO!" Reid screamed as saw Hotch slump to the ground with an arrow embedded in the upper part of his shoulder.
