A/N- Hey yall! Its me 'gain! Hows bouts we get to the point eh? KK, I was really bored one day when a splendiferous idea crushed all my other meaningful thoughts on world peace and love, and came out a dark, mysterious fic I couldn't push away.

Warnings- Lame team-bonding scenes, crying women, and creepy spiders.

JK! April Fools! Haha, that was like, 12 days ago Ha- gotcha!

Lame joke- fail me, fail...

Real warnings- dark mterial, mentions of child abuse, child abuse, WHUMPAGE, anything else I can mention to make an even darker picture form in your mind?

KK, let's get started. This is AU, where JJ and Reid are kids, so there are no Will or Henry, got it?

Be warned- this fic will be a rollercoaster...

Disclaimer for the whole story- don't own nuthin, so don't yall pester me for it!

Chapter 1- Prologue

Spencer Reid pounded against the small wall that was ruining his ability to save her. He heard her tortured screams echo through the thick air. He knew how it felt in there, for he could feel the intense pain penetrating his body with every aching second.

The alarmingly loud wails continued, and he weakly glanced up at the door that blocked his view of his best friend, his surrogate sister. He blinked twice, trying to clear his cloudy mind. His earlier outburst had done no good to this situation- it had only made it worse. He pounded one last time, frustrated and seething with anger. He had to fix this- he had to save her.

It was then Spencer heard the all too familiar opening of Sir's bedroom door. Spencer scrambled away from the door, and tried to make his way into his bed in time for him to not be suspicious. He watched anxiously as he tossed her into the swelteringly hot room like she was garbage. With a satisfied grunt, the man strode haughtily away.

JJ hit the ground with a sickening thud, her quivering form shaking so hard her head was banging against the floor to the rhythm of her shivers. Spencer carefully crawled over to her tortured body, and stroked her hair silently. She shook harder at first, inaudible pleads for mercy escaping her mouth, framed by her beaten face. But with one look at who was soothing her, she cried out, relieved to see her familiar friend. She sank into him, her sobbing muffled by the thin fabric of his soiled T-shirt. He inwardly cringed, grimacing at the pressure she was putting on his burning torso, but didn't make a move to turn away from her. Wrapping his arms around her, he whispered reassuringly to her, "Ssshhh, it's all going to be all right."

If only he could convince himself.

He strode from the door, grinning as he heard her wailing continue, even in her bedroom. He cursed the young girl, making his way to the living room. Intent on watching TV, he settled onto his stained couch. He stared at the still, blank screen.

Flipping it on, he sunk into the worn cushions, sighing heavily. He looked around for something to drink on the side table. Empty bottles, each and every one. Making a mental list to stock up on some beer, he gazed into the black hallway leading to their room.

This was when he heard the conversation the children presumed he was too far away to hear. Angered by the level of disrespect they were displaying by voicing those demeaning words, he decided punishment was needed. Eyes glinting maliciously, he stretched and rose from the cushions. He made his way towards them, a smile forming on his lips as he heard the whimpers grow louder as they became aware of his menacing presence on the other side of the wall. He blasted through the door, and laughed at their pitiful cries.

A/N- Haha; creepy, huh? Hehe, way more where that is coming from.

Apologies for the length of this one, it was only the prologue. The others will be longer, you have my word. And I am sorry for the mysteriousness this has- everything will be explained in later chapters, mainly the next. So hang on, you guys!

The rest of the team will come in later, and while on a case, may be able to make this horrible situation right.
