Chapter XII

JJ found herself in her room once again ´Why do I keep coming here? ´ She thought. This time instead of staying there she decided to go down stairs. When she reached the end of the stairs she was surprised to find someone standing in the middle of the leaving room, she couldn´t see the face of the person but she knew who she was.

"Emily?" She asked tentatively, first her sister now Emily, but she knew her friend wasn´t dead. ´She must be part of my dream.´ The brunette turned around to face her.

"JJ!" She said smiling while approaching the blonde.

"Em…what are you doing here?" She asked the dream had no sense at all.

"What are you talking about? You asked me to come?" She told her matter of factly.

"I did?" Now JJ was confused.

"Yes. The team must be here at any minute now." Emily said.

"The team? Why?" The expression on her face was pure confusion, just then a knocked was heard. JJ saw Emily walking to the door, she then saw the rest of the team, they all had presents and drinks. ´Wait I remember this, it´s my birthday.´ She took a step back and trip over something landing on her back. ´Crap!´ She stood up and froze in place, there before her was her team but they weren´t laughing or chatting instead they were all laying on the floor, dead with blood covering their bodies. "NO!" She screamed running towards them, she knelt down between Emily and Reid. "No no no no…" She kept saying, crying.

"Hello Jennifer." She heard a male voice said, she recognized the voice, it had hunted her no long ago. "You should have told me the codes then this," He said signaling the team. "Wouldn´t have happened."

"Hasting?" She stood from her position on the floor. "No this isn´t real, you are dead!" It made no sense at all.

"Well for what I can see I´m pretty much alive in your conscience." He smiled walking in her direction.

"Stay away! Don´t come any closer!" She was shaking, she knew it wasn´t real but the sight of him was and so were the feelings of helplessness and anger.

"Why Jennifer…are you afraid?" Suddenly his form changed and it wasn´t Hasting the man standing before her instead she saw Jackson Hill wearing his wacked smile. "I thought you were tougher than this."

She began to feel the same pain in her side again, and then her left leg gave up sending her to the floor. ´What the hell?´ JJ loked around, she wasn´t at her place anymore, she was back in the basement with the UnSub.

"We are going to have so much fun Jennifer." He walked near the door; it was dark over that spot. "What do you think if we bring little Henry here to play as well." Unexpectedly she saw Henry coming out from the dark spot.

JJ made an attempt to stand up. "No! Stop! No! Henry, run!" Her leg wasn´t working and the pain got even worse, tears covered her face. She saw how the UnSub took a knife out of pocket and held it near Henry´s throat, the boy crying and shouting for his mother. "No please don´t…"

Jackson laughed in a mocking way. "Look at you! You are pathetic! Say bye to your mummy Henry." She heard her boy yelled for her before closing her eyes. "Henry!" and then everything went black.

…

Emily sat on the chair beside JJ; Reid was sitting on the other one beside her. After receiving the call from Reid telling them JJ was awake and that they were moving her to another room, everyone decided to go to the Hospital to see her with their own eyes. It was really late when they arrived at the Hospital and sadly for them JJ was still sleeping, Spencer had told them what had happened and they, just like him, couldn´t be happier. JJ´s mother wasn´t with them because Henry was sleeping and she didn´t want to wake him up so she decided to stay and wait ´till tomorrow to see her girl. It was a hard decision but she thought of the little boy sleeping beside her and opted for what was best for him.

They went back to the hotel after a while, promising to be there as soon as visiting hours aloud them or even before, yes definitely before that. The next day arrived and as promised the entire team was there plus Sam and Sandy, the team took turns with Henry they wanted him to go see his mother once she was awake.

JJ hadn´t woken up yet, so part of the team went for coffee and something to eat and the rest stayed with JJ. Emily, Reid and Penelope had stayed while Hotch, Rossi and Morgan went for the things, Sam had gone back to the station still not able to stay for more than a couple of hours with the team, and Sandy had stayed with Emily and the rest for a bit before deciding to go and take Henry for lunch. Penelope then asked her if she could go to spend some time with her godson and telling Sandy than after she could stay with the little one so she could go and see her daughter, knowing that´s what she wanted to do.

So now Reid and Emily were the only ones with the blonde woman. Both profilers were talking about a book when they saw JJ moving. They watched her for a while, then her movement became more erratic and they could hear her whispered something; the agents looked at each other, worried for their friend.

"JJ? Can you hear me?" Reid asked her. Just when Emily was about to talk, JJ woke up with a jolt her eyes were unfocused, she was still trap on her dream, her breathing became deeper and elaborated, the pain she felt with each breathe she took woke her from her trance.

"Oh god…" She said graving her side and trying to control the pain.

"It´s okay JJ, just breath." Emily indicated her, holding JJ´s other hand. After a couple of minutes they saw her calmed down, her breathing more normal and she wasn´t holding her side anymore but the blonde didn´t let go of Emily´s hand.

Reid helped her laid down. "How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"Better…"She told him, still with her eyes close. "My throat feels like the Sahara though." She smiled.

"Here have some water." Emily said giving her the cup with the straw.

"Thanks." She felt much better now. JJ then focused on the two people with her. "How long has it been?" The blonde wasn´t sure of how long she has been sleeping or at the hospital, she remembered waking the first time and the doctor telling her something but now it was all so fuzzy.

"Since you woke up and felt back to sleep it has been almost 17 hours." They saw her looking at them with surprise. "The doctor told us it was normal. Your body still needs to rest and sleeping is the best way to do that."

"And it´s been four days since we…you know…found you." Spencer informed her, nervous of how she was going to take the news.

"You´re telling me I have been out for almost four days?" She asked them shocked to hear it, they nodded. She then remembered her dream. "Henry? Is he here? and mom? Wait where is the rest of the team? And Jenna?!"

"JJ calm down." Emily told her, she saw her becoming agitated once again. "Henry is here so is you mom, the team went to grabbed something to eat, they should be here soon and Jenna is going to be fine, they discharge her two days ago."

"Okay…thank god she´s going to be okay." JJ said calmer, she closed her eyes taking in on everything Emily had told her.

"I´ll go get the doctor." Reid told both woman but Emily was the only one who acknowledged what the young profiler said.

"She told us part of what happened." Emily said after a while. "She said you saved her."

"I didn´t." JJ replied her eyes were still close. Emily was surprise by the monotone tone.

"Well she said you did and knowing you I believe her." JJ opened her eyes; Emily looked at her JJ´s eyes held a sad expression. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"I…" The blonde opened and closed her mouth trying to decide what to do. She was afraid of talking about what had happened down in the basement, she was afraid of the memories attacking her like they did while the UnSub had her but she also knew she would have to talk sooner or later, they needed her statement.

JJ looked into Emily´s eyes, she had been there when the brunette needed her and she had opened up to her, telling her how she felt after the Doyle ordeal. It cost JJ a lot to finally get Emily to talk to her but she had done it so she thought she was the one person who could understand her right now. "Can you take it as my statement…? I really don´t want to repeat it." She sounded so fragile, she hated it.

"Of course." Emily smiled. "Let me tell Reid so he doesn´t come in while you are telling me your side." JJ saw her go out the room and then after a few minutes Emily came back, she took her previews seat and took a pen and a pad. "Okay, whenever you are ready."

"What did he say?" JJ felt bad, she wasn´t ready to tell the others and especially Spencer what she had gone through.

"He understands don´t worry." Emily told her. To tell the truth Reid had felt a little hurt but she explained him that JJ wasn´t ready to speak yet and the reasons why she decided to talk to her.

JJ nodded, she took a deep breath, ignoring the pain it caused to do such a simple task and prepared herself for what she was about to say and relieve.

….

Reid stood outside the room; he opted to stay in case JJ needed him. He wanted to be inside with her but he respected her choice, even thought it hurt him. From time to time he would look through the window but sadly for him the curtains were closed. That´s exactly how the team found him a few minutes later.

"Reid? What are you doing man?" Morgan asked him curios of the young profiler nervousness. The rest of the team also looked at him expecting for an answer.

Reid turned around looking at them innocently. "I…well…" He coughed. "JJ is giving her statement right now." Hotch frowned. "She didn´t want me there." He said finally.

Rossi patted him on the back. "Don´t worry kid, she´s…still dealing with all this. You know she cares a lot about you." The old man told him. Reid nodded.

"So I think we should wait then." Hotch said, he wanted to be in there too. He and JJ shared a really strong bond and he desperately wanted to help her get through this, just like she helped him when his wife died.

Just when the team was about to go sit somewhere else doctor Williams saw them, he was going to go and see how JJ was doing now that she was fully awake. "May I ask why you are here instead of in there?" He was surprised; he normally saw the team inside the room with their friend.

"We are waiting for JJ to let us in." Morgan informed him to which the doctor looked at him questionably.

"She is giving her statement to Agent Prentiss." Hotch then told him.

"Oh I see." He kind of understood why they weren´t all in there, it wasn´t easy to relive a traumatic event. "Well then I guess I´ll wait as well." He smiled and then they heard JJ´s heart monitor beeping fast, the doctor was about to go in when Reid stopped him.

"It´s okay doctor, Emily is with her. I believe telling everything may have been kind of overwhelming." Reid wanted to go in maybe as much as the rest of the team but he knew he couldn´t it would only make things worse, JJ wouldn´t want him or anyone else to see her like that so he did what she would of have wanted.

The doctor looked at the young man standing beside him; he saw the pain in his eyes and the calm. "Okay then." He said and waited with the rest.

….

"What happen after he chained you?" Emily stomach flipped hearing JJ´s story and she thought the worst was just about to come. When she asked her she saw something changed in JJ´s eyes, she had been calmed while explain what happened before he chained her but when she came to that part her eyes became shadowy.

She opened her mouth just to close it again. This was the hard part; this was the part that mixed her emotions, the part that brought back the pain and scars and made new ones. "I...he." She took a deep breath. "He branded me…I mean he used something to burned me with." Emily and the team knew all of the blonde´s injuries but they didn´t know how they were made and hearing JJ said it made Emily blood boil. She knew the feeling perfectly and the knowing JJ went through the same made her wish for this UnSub to be alive just to kill him again.

"I think a passed out…then he came back but he brought Jenna with him and…" JJ wasn´t looking at Emily, she noticed it was soon as the blonde began to speak, it was so painful to see her like that. She knew what happened when Jackson brought Jenna with him, she had told them.

"JJ…you don´t have to." She said in a soft tone. "Jenna already told us, remember?"

The blonde nodded. "Thanks." And for the first time since she began to tell the story JJ looked up, into her friends eyes. "Em…I don´t know if I can do this." She said, she sounded so childish, so innocent and scared. It broke Emily´s heart; the brunette took JJ´s hand and held it tight.

"Yes you can JJ." She began to say. "I am going to tell you what you once told me." JJ just stared at her friend. "You are going to be fine eventually, it´s not going to be easy but you will get through it because you have the team, your mother and me and little Henry and because I know you Jennifer and you are not one to give up so easily." she said adding her own thoughts as well.

JJ was trying so hard not to cry, she didn´t want to lose the last of integrity she had but with Emily was hard because she was her best friend, her sister and because they now shared are even more especial bond. So she let go, she let the tears and the pain to overcome her this time, because it was too much to held inside and she needed to let go of everything just for now, just in this occasion and then maybe she would be able to feel like herself again.

Okay so there it is! as always thanks for reading and please review! :)
