Ok now I'm actually sorry
-
It had been about a month and a half since Emily's passing. No one was ok but they pretended to be. Everyone sat around the table talking and laughing. JJ was telling everyone about Henry's obsession with a new children's book Penelope had bought him. "Where's Reid?" Derek asked, sitting down.
"I don't know, he's usually the first one here," JJ said, shaking her head. Everyone muttered about the genius's whereabouts, being startled by him rushing in. His hair was a mess and his clothes looked slept in. He looked terrible.
"Y/N's missing," Spencer said urgently, causing everyone in the round table room to look at him concerned.
"Reid, what do you mean she's missing?" Derek asked, raising his eyebrows.
"She's missing Derek," he said softly, tears welling in his eyes. "I can't lose her, I can't. First Emily, now her?," he muttered, holding his face in his hands.
Everyone exchanged worried glances. JJ sighed and pulled him into a hug. "Spence, it'll be ok. We will find her," she soothed. Garcia's eyes began to water, Derek steadying her.
"Listen here mama, no falling apart. Reid needs us, he needs you."
Penelope nodded and sat down, opening her computer as she took a breath. Hotch looked at Rossi and nodded. "As of now, our primary goal is finding Y/N." Hotch said authoritatively.
"I'll call Strauss and let her know," Rossi echoed, walking out.
"Ok Reid, when was the last time you spoke to her?" Hotch asked, rubbing his eye.
"Yesterday. She was supposed to come visit this weekend but had to cancel for work."
"Reid, you said she had to stay in Boston?" Penelope asked quietly. Spencer nodded, looking confused. "Ok, because here, it shows she called you last night at 11:52 pm from the Lincoln memorial."

"The Lincoln memorial?" Derek asked, looking up. "Why would she lie about where she was."
"I don't know. I don't know anything. My brain isn't working right."**
"Ok Spence, we get that you're worried. But you know her better than any of us. You need to use that big brain of yours," JJ said gently. "I believe in you."
Spencer nodded and began to think. "Maybe she was going to surprise you?" Derek mused.
"Like Detroit!" Penelope chimed in, causing Hotch to raise an eyebrow. "Oops, sorry. Anyway, Y/N's phone last pinged a cell phone tower, wait that's not possible..."
"Garcia?" Spencer asked worriedly.
"Where did it ping Garcia?" Hotch asked, leaning forward.
"The White House. Inside the White House." Garcia said, turning the computer screen.
"Why would Y/N be inside the white house?" Derek asked.
"I have no idea," Spencer muttered, holding his head between his hands.
"She just got recruited to join the Brain Program. They're mapping the human brain and they wanted her. The president asked for her specifically." Garcia said, a small smile appearing on her face. Spencer raised his head and bit his lip, pride swelling within him. He wished you had told him so he could give you a big hug.
"Ok so wouldn't she just be there then?" Derek asked.
"No, orientation was yesterday." Garcia explained.
"That's probably why she said she couldn't come this weekend. Because of orientation."
"Doesn't she have friends in the city? I would assume she does because she went to Georgetown?" JJ asked.
"Nate and Lola," Spencer replied, looking up. He rifled through his pocket, grabbing the phone. "Nate, hey, have you heard from Y/N recently. She called you? What time? 12am? Ok thanks Nate. Uh, I haven't been able to get a hold of her, but if you or Lola do, please let me know. Thanks."

Everyone looked at him expectantly. "She told Nate she was coming to surprise me last night. But if she was on her way, she never made it."
"Ok Reid, you need to think. Who is someone that could have it out for her? Someone who would want to hurt her?" Hotch inquired.
"Or you," Derek added. Spencer shook his head.
"I don't know. She's the nicest person ever."
"Ok, Reid, we're not going to stop looking for her. But we can't do much more without some information." Rossi advised. Spencer nodded, sighing as he stood up and began to leave the room. Then it hit him.
He turned, a scowl on his face. "James, James Ivory. That's who took Y/N," he stated. "And I'm going to kill him." M

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale.

And thank you for reading. --------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road website.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
