I don't own Criminal Minds

Enjoy

It was supposed to be just another normal case, like the others that they had. They were in a town that was close to the Canadian border. The forest was pretty dense there and seemed to stretch for miles. The team was currently walking through the dense forest to help find a missing child. The unsub was somewhere in the woods.

Spencer Reid was walking alone, he unfortunately got separated but he remembered where the meeting spot was in case such a thing happened. It was getting dark fast and very cold too. Spencer took out his flashlight and walked through the brush of stinks and leaves.

But then he heard something that made the hairs on his neck stand up.

Growling and it was close by. Spencer knew that wolves were in this area but they were used to humans since so many humans camp out here. Spencer slowly turned and froze. What was standing in front of him was NOT a wolf…or even a man.

Spencer couldn't move as the creature stared into his eyes. Yellow, haunting eyes to be exact.

The moment he shifted his leg to prepare to run or at last call for help, the creature leaped and Spencer was pinned by it in seconds.

The claws on the beast dug into the flesh of his arms. When Spencer tried to scream again, the creature covered his mouth with a hand that was covered in black fur. Spencer's heart was pounding and he was hyperventilating.

The creature's mouth opened to reveal large pointed teeth, dripping with saliva. Spencer struggled but the beast was too strong. At this point Spencer had tears falling from his eyes. However, at that moment he heard Morgan voice.

"Hey kid where are you?"

The creature froze and he quickly clamped his jaws onto Spencer's shoulder, most likely to kill him quickly and drag him away to be devoured before Morgan could find him.

Spencer was in agony and felt the hand covering his mouth slip so he screamed as loud as he could. The man was getting worse by the second and he started to feel his eyes droop.

Suddenly the creature was pushed off of him and he could hear Morgan yelling and soon heard Hotch and Prentiss. But everything started to feel fuzzy and his eyes started to close.

His shoulder burned and the burning spread throughout his body. Finally his eyes shut and everything went black.

The sound of murmuring voices and a soft beeping sound woke Spencer out of his dreamless sleep.

He opened his eyes to find himself in a small hospital bed. The mattress was lumpy and the blanket was thin, but at least he wasn't being devoured by a monster anymore.

He saw that his team mates were sitting around talking until JJ noticed that he was awake. They immediately scooted closer to him and asked if he was alright.

Spencer nodded and smiled, strange that he felt no pain. One would think a bit like the one he got from that…thing would leave some after waves of pain. He noticed that his shoulder was bandaged and had some speckles of blood on it.

"You should have seen that wolf Spence, the ranger came in time and shot it but it got away somehow" said JJ.

Spencer smiled at here and then he noticed something weird. His vision was perfect…but didn't the nurses remove his contacts?

"Hey Morgan, did the nurses take my contacts out?"

Morgan nodded, "Yeah a while ago…why do you ask?"

"It's just that…I can see perfectly now. There is no blurriness at all."

As Spencer became more awake, he noticed that there something else that was strange…the smells around him.

They were much more pronounce and seemed to bombard his senses. When Morgan sat near him, he could smell his cologne and sweat perfectly. He could even smell JJ's perfume even though she left the room to get coffee. It was like she never left the room at all.

He continued to wonder about it even after they flew home, since he got the "OK" from the doctors. While Spencer was in the hospital, the team tracked down the unsub and saved the child.

When Spencer got into his apartment he sat on the bed and his sense of touch was also heightened. He could feel every thread and bump in the sheet and mattress. It kind of freaked him out a bit. Finally he scolded himself saying that it was just after affects of a near-death experience, nothing more.

Spencer finally decided to go to sleep since he had work in the morning.

PLEASE REVIEW- Next time, Spencer starts to feel less and less human as the full moon draws closer. Plus he meets someone that could help him.
