"Wake up!" The reaper yelled at me and I jumped. I must have passed out after all the stabbings. He kicked me over and my eyes shot open in pain. "get up!" He ordered.
"Why?" I asked not wanting to do anything he said.
"because we are going on a little adventure." he knelt down and grabbed me by my shirt. A shirt that didn't always have blood stains everywhere. It was amazing I was still alive. The last day had been complete torture. Knives, mind tricks and beatings. He lifted me up and tightened handcuffs around my wrists. I was so tired and still drained of energy that it was a challenge walking up the stairs behind me. I said nothing as he led me to the back door and out to the back yard. He pushed me down and I took a good look around.
The house was small and not surrounded by anything but a dirt road. There were tress just about everywhere but no birds. The sun was high and warm. I took a deep breath before I was toppled over by a very high pressure hose. "What the hell!" I yelled as Foyet sprayed me with the very cold water.
"Can't have you looking all pathetic when we got a very important visit to make." He laughed The water that hit me was soon turning red as it flowed off. I was shaking and trying my best to hold in my screams. When he finally turned the hose off I could barely get a breath in. I pushed back my hair has I coughed up mostly water and blood. "Now remember when you asked what I wanted with you?" He smiled grabbing my hair and yanking me to my feet. "Well I want you to help me make Agent Hotchner suffer." He whispered in my ear as I jerked away.
"How about you just kill me before I kill you." I smiled spitting in his face. He took a step away with a groan. He whipped his face then looked at me and his eyes flashed black.
"YOU REALLY ARE STUPID!" he growled and backhanded me in the face. I stumbled but didn't fall. "DO AS I SAY OR I WILL SHOOT YOU IN THE HEAD." He yelled slapping me again. I managed not to fall and I looked back at him with a smile.
"You go right ahead because I will not help you hurt anyone else!" I yelled.
He shook his head and leaned back and before I could deflect his fist it connected with my head and everything went black again. I guess I have a knack for pissing demons off. I had no idea how I was going to get out of this but on some level I knew I wasn't. When Cas said I was going to die I didn't think it would be this painful. I could feel my body moving and being thrown somewhere hard. Then not just my body but where I lay was moving. The bumps made me wake up. I was still handcuffed and I pretty much laid in a puddle of my blood in the back of a truck. I sighed as I rolled onto my back. There wasn't much space and that's when I realized I was in the trunk.
"Awesome." I sighed as I tried to push the lid up. I kicked for a few minutes before my head started to get dizzy and my vision faded. I stopped and took a deep breath. "Okay Cas this is how you make me believe the angels are the good guys." I sighed. "Cas... If you got an ear out for me, if you are even still alive. I want you to know I'm sorry." I sighed. " I'm sorry I let the demon follow me then banish you to who knows where." I sighed. "But if you're up for it I'm kinda in a little bit of trouble. So anything you can do?" I asked closing my eyes hoping for anything. The truck stopped and I heard footsteps. "Well thanks anyways Cas." I sighed as the trunk opened and Foyet smiled down at me.
"Get out and don't make a sound or I will send my children out and kill your friends... and I mean all of them." He said putting a knife to my throat.
By now I should have known it was just a threat but sometimes when this demon talked it was like he was very serious. I already had a feeling he had eyes on everyone and I just hoped they were still alive. The images he put in my head were all so real I didn't want to relive them. I did as he asked. He pulled me from the trunk and I looked around. The sun was going down on a normal looking block. Houses close together and gates blocking all of them. Why was he risking coming this close to suburbia?
When we neared a house I started to question everything. No one of this seemed right. A demon would not risk this, maybe it was just Foyet for now. I sighed as he opened the gate and led me straight into the house. I had no idea whose house it was until he pushed me inside. There were family picture on the mantel and I froze.
"No." I stopped. These were Aaron's family pictures.
"Agent Hotchner sure has a nice family." he laughed.
"No, kill me or do what ever you want to do not hurt them." I just about begged. Hotch was already divorced but he still cares a lot about his family even if he didn't get to see them all the time. Jack was still just a kid and he didn't need this kind of torture. "Please."
"Shut up!" He smacked me and I finally fell over. "You humans... so sentimental." he rolled his eyes as they turned black again and he kicked my in the side as I tried to get up. He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me over to fireplace. There was a bar and he unhook my handcuffs and attached them behind my back and onto the bar. "Now just so you don't scare off our guests." He smiled pulling duck tape from a bag he threw on the couch. He ripped a piece and stuck it to my mouth. Just after that the sound of keys in the lock made him smile and my heart race. "So it starts." He pulled a gun from his jeans and walked quickly to the door and hid beside it.
"Okay, you go get your homework done and I'll start dinner." Haley's voice came first but Jack was the first I saw. He ran inside and around the corner. He was the one who saw me first.
"Mommy?" he questioned as I looked at him.
"Yeah... Oh my god!" She jumped when she saw me. I tried to warm her but Foyet got to her first. He shoved the gun to her side and placed a hand over her mouth.
"Stay quiet and no one gets hurt." He said in her ear. "Jack buddy why don't you go sit beside Clara."
"Okay." He didn't really understand what was going on. He ran over to my side and sat close. He looked up without thinking he ripped the tape off my mouth slowly.
"Thanks Jack." I said quietly with a smile.
He looked confused and scared. "Are you okay?" He asked in a whisper.
"Yeah I'm okay. Just listen to me and we'll be fine." I smiled. He nodded and scooted behind me a bit. I nodded and he hung onto my arm. I knew he understood now something wasn't right and he was right to be scared. Haley looked over at me as she sat on the couch slowly. I smiled with a nod reassuring her Jack was okay and she was going to be as well.
"Now why don't we let Aaron in on our fun." Foyet winked at me. He reached into his bag and pulled out a camera.
"Well your dumber than I thought." I laughed. He glared at me. "You just going to tell the whole FBI where they can find you so they can come in here and kill you?" I laughed again. Haley shook her head scared I might piss him off. He walked over and smacked me. Haley let out a bit of a gasp. "Ou ouch." I smiled looking back at him. "Why don't you just shoot yourself now so I don't have to waste my time." I smiled.
"Clara..." Haley tried to get me to shut up.
I looked over and smiled at her. "Don't worry Haley. Smartie pants is going to get himself killed before he can hurt you or Jack."
"Oh really?" He laughed grabbing my hair and lifting me up as far as the cuffs would let him. "I can't wait to see their faces when they find out who I really am." He whispered as he eyes flashed black again. He dropped me and hit me in the face again. I fell over on my side a bit and I tried to push up. He just kept hitting me back down.
"STOP IT!" Haley called out.
Foyet turned to her and before he could get a step toward her I stuck out my leg and tripped him. I wasn't going to let him near her or Jack. "Leave them alone." I said as he stood and I just stared at him. He stood up and smacked me in the face one more time. I figured this could go on for a while or he could set up his camera and I could get the team here faster.
I bit my cheek to stop more words from coming out. I sat up slowly and he stared at me and Jack. Jack was clinging to my arm tightly and Foyet could see the fear in his eyes. That is what scared me. The Reaper without the demon got off on fear and panic and with the demon it is just ten times worse. he smiled at Jack. "Hey Buddy. You wanna do me a favor?" He asked and Jack shook his head. "Go sit with your mommy and I won't hurt you." he said.
Jack looked terrified and he looked at me. "It's okay Jack. You go sit with Mom and it will be okay." I smiled down at the poor boy.
"Come sit with me Jack." Haley said when I looked over at her. Jack took a breath and jolted over to his mother. She pulled him in tightly and I knew she would be better protection than me.
"Now how about we start with you two." he smiled.
"Don't you dare lay a figure on them." I hissed.
"Oh don't worry Clara, I'm saving them for last... you'll be first to die but I need to get Aaron motivated." he smiled as he walked over to his camera. He sighed when he realized something was wrong. "Nobody move or I will put a bullet in the kids head." he whipped his gun to Jack. I gasped and Haley moved in between. He started walking backwards then he walked out the door.
"Dumbass." I shook my head.
"Clara what is going on!" Haley almost shrieked. "Are you okay? How long have you been with him? Everyone thought you were dead." She said in one breath.
I smiled. "Well I don't die easily. Now listen. He is going to get up a live feed from us to the FBI. He isn't as smart as I thought he was so just do as he says and you'll be fine. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure they come and save you two." I nodded.
"What about you?" She asked with big eyes. I didn't know what to say. There was a good change I wasn't getting out of this alive and I made my peace with that. But they looked scared.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine to. Just do what he says. Also somethings are going to be said that aren't going to make a lick of sense to you or most of the team but don't dwell on it. Everything will make sense." I took a deep breath. "If I started rambling nonsense in latin don't interrupt me, just ignore me." I sighed and Haley squinted her eyes at me.
I was running out of breath but I needed to keep my mind awake and any energy I have left ready. "Clara you don't look good." She said.
"Well blood loss will to that to a girl." I laughed a bit and she covered Jack's ears. "I'm sorry..." I sighed. "I'm just trying to be realistic." I sighed. "You go a bobby pin on you?" I asked and she nodded. We could hear Foyet's foot steps as she threw it to me. I quickly pulled it closer with my feet and shoved it into my hand. If I was getting them out alive I couldn't be handcuffed. "Don't give into fear. That is his thing. Okay?" I asked and they both nodded. I'm sure Jack had no idea what I meant but he did as he was told which was good.
HELLO! Thanks for keeping with me... so you've noticed I made quiet a change to the Criminal Minds story line and now I REALLLLLLYYYY need your help! Soo...
We all know Haley dies at the hands of the Reaper. But I kinda wanted to make Clara some sort of a hero and somehow make Clara save her and Jack but I'm not sure if you guys would like it or the story would be as good. It's just Clara has been through a lot and it would be nice to give her somewhat of a good day... anyways let me know what you think... Haley lives or dies?
Thanks for reading and make sure to review please! :)
