Leaves crinkled under their feet and the cool wind swept Emily's hair across her shoulder. The stars were barely visible between the trees and an animal scurried in front of them.

"Do you even know where we're going?" She looked up to Aaron.

He put his arm around her shoulders, "What, you scared?"

"Don't even start," she shrugged away from his touch.

"I'm just kidding, Emily! I know where we're going, look, we're almost here." He brought her close to him again, "the view will be worth it."

Emily smiled and leaned close to him. "I'm freezing my ass off, it better be worth it."

"Here," Aaron stopped, he took off his jacket and put it around her shoulders.

Morgan looked at his phone and saw the time, "Dammit," he hissed. He was late. Again. He stuffed his hands in his letter jacket and stared at the ground as he hurried through the woods. What was he going to say this time? Branches whipped his face as he started to jog. The path was familiar, and he knew he wasn't too far.

He couldn't help but grin. His heart was racing. He picked up his speed.

JJ wiped the tears off her cheek again. She stopped to catch her breath, she had to remind herself to breathe. It was too hard. She couldn't get enough air, she was suffocating. She had to get away. A new batch of tears came and she started to run.

She couldn't stay there anymore. It was too terrible. The silence, the emptiness. The fact that everyone pretended not to know what day it was. If she got far enough in the woods she could breath. Maybe she could escape all of it. Maybe it would all be okay.

But that was a joke, and she knew it. No matter how far she ran, she could never escape. But that didn't stop her. She continued into the woods.

She would have been 25 today.

JJ's footsteps continued on the hard dirt. She gasped for breath.

But instead she was dead.

Reid shuffled his feet. It was cold. He looked up and saw the moon in the gap of trees. He sat down on a tree stump, and then stood up again. He wiped off the seat of his pants, he wanted everything to be perfect tonight. He ran his fingers through his hair for the upteenth time that night and took in a deep breath.

Soon, he told himself. But he couldn't wait. The sounds of the woods surrounded him. Crickets sounded, and small animals scurried about. He loved the sounds. Or maybe he just loved what came with the woods.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." Garcia's face was burning red. She slammed the front door when she left, she wanted them to feel her anger.

She muttered under her breath and slammed her feet to the ground with each step. She had so much rage. It was consuming her. She couldn't hold it anymore. She hurried into the woods, she picked up a rock and threw it.

It wasn't enough.

She needed to do something. She continued into the woods. "I fucking hate you!" She screamed to the sky.

But nobody heard her. Nobody ever heard her.

XXX

"Did you hear that?" Emily asked.

"Hear what?"

Emily stopped walking, "listen," she said.

The night sounds continued, a gust of air rustled the trees.

"You're just being paranoid Emily, it's right up there," he pointed up the trail, "tonight's going to be perfect. Just you, me, and this amazing view."

They continued to walk down the trail. "I heard something," Emily whispered to herself.

Morgan ran into the opening, "sorry I'm late," he blurted out immediately. But he didn't see the usual small shape. "Hey," he called out, "you here?" He walked around the area, his eyes had adjusted to the darkness, but it was still hard to make out some things.

"Look, I'm sorry I'm late, okay? I'll make it up to you," the teasing was evident in his voice. "Come on, don't leave a guy waiting, I've been waiting for weeks, ain't that long enough?" But still there was no response.

Maybe they were running late too, he thought. But he knew that wasn't the case. He was the late one in their relationship. He started to run, scouring the area. Something was wrong.

Something was really wrong.

JJ didn't know where she was anymore. It was so dark, only the light of the moon was there. She stopped to catch her breath. The fresh, cool air filled her lungs. She could finally breathe. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and wiped her cheeks again.

She walked again, looking up at the sky. Her sister had loved the stars. They used to sit out in the backyard together and stare at them. Sometimes they came into these woods and stayed there until they could hear their dad shouting for them to come in.

But they always stayed close. Far enough to get away from the lights, but just close enough to get back home.

She looked down from the sky and let out a blood curdling scream.

The woods rustled behind him. but they didn't sound like an animal. It was bigger. "Hey, you here?" He smiled.

But there was no response. Reid looked around, but it was too dark to see into the woods. He was probably just being messed with.

"Just come out, okay? I thought tonight was supposed to be romantic." He almost whined. But no one came out of the woods.

He let out a sigh. He fixed his hair one more time and walked into the woods.

She felt better. Not great, but better. She could finally think again. The fresh air helped. Garcia ran through the night. It started out okay, but that's how it usually went. Everything was fine, until, well, it wasn't.

She just needed to be alone. They all did. She didn't want to face them again that night. She didn't want another screaming match. She shook her head and started to hum. Just a slow quiet tune. Something to get her mind off things.

Suddenly she heard something behind her and spun around. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

XXX

Emily started to run, "you hear that now?" She shouted behind her.

"Slow down, Em, I'm coming!" Hotch shouted behind her. They sprinted through the woods, following the sound. When Aaron caught up to her he grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Maybe we should get out of here," he said.

"You're kidding, right?" Emily ripped out of his grip. Another sound came from the woods. "You do what you want, but I'm going."

She started to run, and Aaron followed. Dread filled him. Something was wrong. Something was really wrong.

He had to make sure she stayed safe.

Emily slowed, listening again. She heard noises to her right. She ran through the trees, suddenly she was in an opening of sorts. All she saw was a dark outline before she slammed to the ground.
