*September 2006*
"Hi there little one. My name's Emily Prentiss and I'm your aunt." Emily greeted her newly discovered niece and adopted daughter, Dorothea Amelia Prentiss. The ten year old little girl looked up at her aunt. Dorothea was in the hospital, almost dying from the abuse her father had inflicted on her.
"James never told me about you." Dorothea tells the woman.
"He didn't tell me or your grandparents about you either. I adopted you and named you Dorothea Amelia." Emily tells the young girl, who's holding onto her dog plushie Spot.
"You are my mommy now? Can I call you that?" Dorothea asks Emily, who smiles at her.
"You can call me whatever you want. Whether it's Auntie Emily, Mommy or just plain old Emily, I'm fine with." Emily tells her while playing with her hair.
"You are my Mommy. My real one did not want me and left me with James. You want me and gave me a name." Dorothea tells her mom with a smile on her face.
"Your grandfather and my father Henry wants to meet you. I'll be there with you little one." Emily tells Dorothea.
"Only if you are there." Dorothea tells the woman who kissed her forehead.
"Always little one." Emily says with a smile on her face.

Dorothea's POV
"You need to eat Dorothea." Tobias tells me before feeding me some soup. In the past two days, James didn't only beat and burn me but he raped me as well. When Tobias wasn't himself, he would join in. Tobias was caring and kind while Charles and Raphael were just like James.
"I want to go home. Please let me go home Tobias." Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with the man.
"My father and James will be angry with me. They'll hurt you even more." Tobias says when James enters the room and grabs my arm. Tobias' facial expression changes into an angry one, making me realize that this was Charles. James brought me to another room where there were several computer monitors.
"See these vermin? Choose one to die. I'll let you choose one to live." Charles tells me.
"No. I will not choose someone to live while the others die!" Charles slapped my face, causing me to look up at him. James grabs a fire poker and burns me, causing me to scream out in pain.
"The other heathens are watching. Choose a sinner to die, and I'll say the name and address of the person to be saved." Charles says before tears started streaming down my face.
"No! I will not choose who gets slaughtered and have you leave their remains behind like a poacher!" Charles slaps me once more and James burns my face.
"Choose one to die, and save a life. Otherwise, they're all dead." Charles tells me.
"Okay. Far right screen."
"Marilyn David, 4913 Walnut Creek Road." Charles says before turning the computer off.

Emily's POV
"Guys! Get in here!" Penelope shouts, causing all of us to run into the computer room. Dorothea was on the monitor with tears in her eyes and her clothes torn off. She had burns all over her body and bite marks on her shoulder and neck. She had hand-print shaped bruises on her wrists and whip marks on her legs and back. She was trembling under Tobias' and James' stares. Or was it one Tobias' other personalities, Charles or Raphael?
