The little moments Part 1

No warnings, Serenity ‘Ren’ x John Seed. This takes place outside of Hope County but with in the cult time period pre Joseph attempted arrest. Two parter first one is smuttless, part two will be smuttfull I promise!

Ren sat at the bar drinking her water quietly, she got the feeling she was better off, new job, new town, new beginning. She didn’t understand why he was so upset, he knew she was going in for the interview. He knew if she passed the interview she would get hired and get a posting somewhere. She motioned to the bartender. “Whiskey neat please.” There was all kinds of business men and couples around, the bar and restaurant was a high end kind of place. Of all the places to plan a breakup why here? Why not a coffee shop. Probably so she could have a drink after, he knew her well enough for that she thought.

“If you ask me, he was a bit of a dick.” The bartender winked at her as he put her whiskey down. “You nailed the interview and got the job! You did good be proud! Celebrate without him, celebrate because you got a new start! Dont look back honey.” The bartender has been nice and patient with her, most bartenders wont let someone sip water for a few hours at the bar. Or listen to someone ramble who hasn’t even paid for a drink yet. He gave her a big smile and hand squeeze before going to help another customer.

Ren downed half her drink in one gulp and sat there thinking. She was better off without him, fuck him. “Drinking your troubles, or are your troubles drinking you?” Ren jumped slightly startled. “Sorry didn’t mean to scare you, im John.” He flashed a smile.

“Um both, and im Serenity or Ren as some people call me, sorry just wasn’t expecting anyone to talk to me.” She flashed a quick smile back.

He leaned against the bar holding her gaze, Ren got ths impresion he was reading her. “Well Serenity, if its both might i offer you a distraction? I have an art gallery to visit it belongs to an old friend of mine, would you like to join me? That is unless your waiting for someone?”

Ren couldn’t help but like him a little bit. “No im not waiting for anyone, they came and left.” She took a moment to study him, he was very well dressed and very good looking. His eyes drew her in the most with their blue gaze and his soft smile, she finished her drink and nodded. “Alright art gallery sounds like its more fun than staying here.”John smiled and held out his arm to her and she slipped her arm through his and followed him to his town car to head out.

The art gallery was paintings only, but a large variety in styles. “So, did you only go to the bar to find a date? Or where you already at the bar and see an opportunity, sorry just kinda curious?” Ren asked after a few moments of wandering around the gallery.

“I was already at the bar.” He flashed a smile that just hooked her. “I was originally intending on coming alone. For some reason you caught my eye, thought i might take the chance. After all im only in town for a few days on business and you never know what treasure one might find.” His voice was silky.

Ren couldn’t help but smile at him. “I like you, your smooth.” He chuckled softly and gave her a wink. “Good looks smooth personality quite the charmer arnt you John, careful you might make me swoon for you.”

“Only when i want to be.” His smile was mischievous and his eyes seemed to match. “You have a beautiful smile. I was dreading my trip out here with all the business i had to do, but it was nice to have the opportunity to really relax and spend time with someone. Simply enjoy the moment and not planning the next, dont you think?��

“Your right, it is nice to be in the moment. Especially here, this art is amazing. A lot amazing pieces and talent.” Ren glanced around the gallery at all the paintings taking it in.

John kept his eyes on her. “You love art?” His voice was soft and intrigued.

“I love talent, and dedication to a task. All this paintings took hours, of brush stroke after stroke. Time and dedication to a task it’s admirable, I barley can wait for the coffee to pour. So its nice to see not just one project of dedication but many come to a beautiful finish.”

His eyes where still fixed on her taking in every little thing, he certainly seemed intrigued by her. “Dedication to a task is certainly an admirable trait.”

Ren locked eyes with him and gave him a smile. “What about you John, do you love art? Or just coming to support a friend?”

The corner of his lips twitched into a smile for a moment. “I appreciate the talent and dedication as well. But it helps to have someone to appreciate it with, lifes no fun with out someone to share beautiful moments with. Even if it is with someone you just met for one evening, moments are better shared.”

“They are, thank you John. I was having a really shitty day, but you really helped me make the best of it. I appreciate that.” She gave his hand a little squeeze. “A gentleman to my rescue.”

He let out a laugh. “A gentleman eh? Well then, how about we go out for dinner hm? After we finish here. Im certainly enjoying our time together, if you would like to join me that is?” He returned the gentle squeeze.

“What where you thinking?” She was intrigued on what he might have planned.

Gently he lifted her chin up and gave her a small kiss. “What ever you want, the lovely lady should always choose.”

Ren smiled. “Well if thats the case, I know a great burger place not far from here.”

John chuckled and nodded. “A burger place?” He had a crooked smile but his eyes seemed sceptical. “Alright. Sounds great.”

“A damn great burger place, all the fancy restaurants couldn’t make a burger and fries as good as this place. As much as its great to enjoy the finer things, its the little things that build up to the great moments.” Ren looked over at a painting of a waterfall and motioned to it. “Take paintings for example. They are beautiful but they are built up of tiny things, little moments. Layer upon layer to make this incredible scenery, its the little brush strokes that make the bigger picture. You have to appreciate the little things as well.”

The scepticism left his eyes. “Very well put. Im certainly enjoying our little moments.” He pulled her closer gently and ran his fingers through her hair pulling her into a kiss. She leaned into him deepening the kiss as he twirled her hair around his fingers. As he pulled away he gave her a small kiss on the forehead. “How about we go for those burgers now?”

Alright thats it for part 1. I really wanted to play on Johns lonely side and certainly had fun doing it. Cant wait for part two!

Puppy

No warnings just a short one shot of Jacob and his wife Kelly naming a dog.

“Judgey Mc Judge Yo Face”

“Thats the stupidest name yet.” Jacob replied while sipping his coffee not even looking up from the paper.

Kelly rolled her eyes. “Well, you’re not really coming up with anything.”

Sighing loudly he looked up from his paper and coffee. “It doesn’t need a name. Its a dog, the family pet as you said when you came home with it.”

Kelly sipped her coffee tapping her mug mindlessly with her fingers. “Well, i only came home with one puppy, it almost was four. Also people name their pets. Captain Bite Yo Ass, Sergeant Mc Hungry Fangs, Hugs With Teeth and my personal favourite Lord Nibbles The Third.”

Jacob took a deep breath in and closed his eyes, he already looked like he was regretting what was coming next. “Was there a second and first ‘Lord Nibbles’ as you say?”

“No, it just sounds more refined that way. Oooh i know! Captain Nibbles Biteyton!”

“Spot, ok? We will name it Spot.” An exasperated Jacob moaned. “We named it, I helped. Its done.”

Kelly went over and gave Jacob a hug. “Cerberus it is!

“Thats not what i said.” He replied while putting the paper down and pulling her into his lap.

“Cerberus means spot, so im like meeting you half way here.” She said with a shrug giving him a coy smile.

Closing his eyes he tilted his head back, he was chewing on the inside of his lip. “Dammit Kell, you try every button i have some days.” He mumbled.

She leaned in and gently nibbled his neck moving up to his ear. “Thats why you married me isnt it? I can rile up that thing people call emotions. Well that and the fact i kinda knocked John out that one time he pissed me off.”

There was an instant soft chuckle from Jacob as his grip tightened gently on her. “That was really great.” He had a crooked grin as he remembered. “He had a black eye for a week, wore those wide women’s sunglasses to hide it.”

Kelly ran her fingers through his hair. “Ya, the sunglasses he just already happened to have. So either A. John likes womans fasion accesories, thats my favourite option and what I choose to believe or B. John had a black eye before and kept the sunglasses for the next time he pissed someone off.”

“Its probably option A.” He mused while giving Kelly a little kiss.

“Most definitely, you know sometimes he looks a little taller, i bet some of his shoes have a bit of a lift in them.” Jacob laughed and pulled her closer tighter, only to get interrupted by his phone vibrating on the table. “Oh the duties of being a herald. Don’t worry i will hold the fort with Cerberus, teach him to play dead when he sees a gun.”

“Kell, dont try me on that.” Jacobs tone was as fierce as his glare. “I cant have a useless dog that plays dead when it sees a gun.”

“So i guess you should hurry up your herald duties finished.” Kelly flashed him a smile and gave him a quick kiss.

I remember pluto being a planet then it being denounced as a planet. Pluto will always be my planet! It is not a moon with moons.

Pluto is not the Moon Moon of the stars!

People on tumblr are the worst kind of science deniers that’ll boost info about climate change, yet they’ll still have a Meyers-Briggs result in their profile.

Deaths hollow

The field was large and open, dead grass, flowers, the stream even had a dead looking algae and stagnant smell. The stream wound perfectly through the middle of the feild winding under and through the the roots of the trees. Two trees twisted around each other, intertwined in growing together branching out and forking up. They still grow taller, change with the seasons, and yet always dead looking, the moss on the looked dead and lifeless as well. The trees had many knotches in the trunk, slightly hollowed out places, scorch marks on different parts. The closer you get to the trees the more dead looking everything got, even if you turned around you hit the forest line its dead looking for miles going away from the meadow. Yet the trees in the field stood tall and strong, the two black wood oaks.

The story of when they came to be is not sure but the story of how is, the feild its self already had a sad history before the trees. It was originally settled by a family wishing for a quiet life in the woods. After a huge illness spread through the land and took the loved ones in every town and city, that family was sparred from death. They where accused of making a deal with a witch to spare their family, which caused the death of hundreds. Because everyone knows, a deal with a witch comes with repercussions, to save life, will cause great death. But they didn’t make a deal they where shielded by their isolation so they never caught the illness.

The whole family was tortured for days to find out who made the deal, where was the witch who cursed the spread of the illness. Eventually someone in the family wanting it to end said it was them, that witch was traveling by, by chance. So, the family where dragged into their house, beaten one last time. Then they where burnt alive in their house, as their execution for their using witch craft.

Then the king use to use that field after that, to murder and dispose of those who opposed him discreetly. Eventually making it an official hanging grounds for criminals, building platforms to hang multiple at once.it became the known place where people where hanged. Eventually a gang got bold and ambushed a hanging, killing everyone but those they came for. So it was abandoned as an execution ground, so there it sat tarnished by death and torture. Many innocent lives passed through and ended theere, even when it was ment for criminals. More innocence hanged, than criminals.

Then one day a young couple who enjoyed ending the lifes of others bringing death knew that eventually death would come for them to. So they asked death if there was way for them to honour death and ensure a way to please death so they can live longer. Death, feeling bored made them a deal.

After all, there was something death could get from it to. So the young couple kept legacy of the feild alive, they brought more people there to kill. Slowly, the vegetation started dying off while the earth turned red beneath the life in the stream started to die. Finally after years it was leaching outwards towards the forest, it was finally ready for the final sacrifice. The two young lifes, to extend their lifes and they wanted it so bad. They where no longer young, but not yet old, they wanted more time to do their own bidding. So after sacrificing the last two couple and watering the two seedlings with their blood. Death appeared. Due to the soil being so tainted in death, even before it was in his name, it made it now his to claim. His own piece of mortal earth.

The couple where so happy they completed their task, they couldn’t wait for a prolonged life. Death told them to each kiss their own seedling and ask for the gift of a long life that of which they wanted. So they did eagerly awaiting the glory of a long life, but as the words left their lips and their lips touched the seedlings, they felt it. Their souls started sucking into the trees, growing and slowly absorbing their bodies as it went. Twisting around eachother and slowly turning black as it grew. Connecting them forever, for he had promised them a long life, but he never said that it would be in those bodies.

Thats how Deaths Hollow was born, how Death him self leeched onto the land making his mark on the mortal earth. Forever a reminder to all mortals who will no doubt try, you could bring Death his own land to call his own. You cannot win in a bargain with death.

Eventually the towns around Deaths Hollow became abandoned or died out, children where still born. People would get sick and die easily even just being close to Deaths Hollow had the strong influence of Death.

Sirens song

It was an warm summers night, the wind blew in from the ocean towards the town whipped through the streets. The busiest part of the town even at night was close to the harbour, the carriages where busy with sailors going back and forth places. Even pirates frequented the port, but did their best to keep a low profile to not catch to much attention. In one of the inns a group of the local children sat around a table listening to an old sailor.

“Can you tell us another story?” One of the girls asked softly there was a murmur between the kids in agreeance.

The old sailor chuckled softly. “Alright, what would you like to hear?”

“Do you know how the gods made the first mermaid?”

He nodded slowly “That, my dears is sad story of love and betrayal.” He warned them cautiously. “Not much of a story for young ones.”

“My ma told me that mermaids eat sailors and pirates.” One of the boys proclaimed proudly.

“They do. But they only go after certain ones. Did you know that?” He asked the boy who shook his head no.

All their eyes widened. “Tell us.” The children all asked together more excited now leaning in over the table their eager eyes watching his.

“Alright then, no interruptions, an listen carefully.” He told them as he started to tell them the story. “There was a little town like this one, with a harbour and was very popular with fishermen and travelers. There where two poor young children from sailor familys a boy and a girl, they where best friends. Always together looking out for each other, as they grew up they both became beautiful, they grew to love each other. Both where the envy, and desire of others.”

“But even as they grew, the girl remained humble thankful of her roots, always thanking the moon and the sea. The ocean was her life, it provided her family with food and coin, she never lost site of what provided her. So every month on the full moon, she would give them a gift. The gift would depend on the season, mostly carved sea animals, but when she could, flowers that only bloomed in the moonlight.”

“One day, an empress was forced to dock with her crew due to a storm, she was on her way home after attending a royal wedding. They had to make repairs, and restock as the storm kept them out at see longer than they where prepared for. She saw the boy and was taken with his beauty, she offered him everything, money wealth power, to be an emperor. He just had to leave with her the next day. He loved his girl, and desired to be the only person with her, but becoming powerful, becoming an emperor. It was all his dreams come true, and now everything he desires and dreamed of where battling in him.”

“So that night on the full moon, he met his girl on the dock when the moon was at its highest, he knew she would be there. She was happy to have him join her, she loved him so much to have him join her in thanking the moon and sea, was everything to her. So he kissed her and told her how much he loved her, and then he put a knife in her heart. Because if he couldn’t have her, no one could. He was choosing power and gold over love, and it cost her, her life.”There was a small gasp between the kids and the girls reached out to one another for comfort.

The sailor continued his story while giving them a reassuring nod. “As she fell into water clutching her offering the ocean and the moon where outraged. At her death, at her treatment, that he would dare bloody an offering to them. They loved her, for years she showed her love to them, her thankfulness her caring nature.”

“So, the moon and the ocean decided to give her a gift in her death, for all the gifts and love over the years that she gave them. They preserved her beauty and made her a part if the ocean, part fish. They gave her new life, new purpose so her tragedy would not be in vein to help, and avenge others like her. They made her a mermaid.”

“The boy thinking he had fully succeeding in his task, leaves the next day before anyone notices the girl missing. Sometime on the voyage back in the middle of the night, he hears a beautiful song beckoning him, calling to him. So he goes out to the top deck, where he goes over to the railing, and there she is. In the water singing to him, smiling beckoning him to join her, the other sailors curious as to what he was looking at came over. They couldn’t hear her song, they thought she was a shipwreck survivor so they started a man overboard. But then the boy jumped in, in that moment they saw her face change, her mouth opened wide showing her sharp teeth.” He banged his hands on the table the kids let out a little shriek and huddled together.

The old sailor let out a small chuckle and smiled at the kids before continuing. “The next thing they saw was her pulling him under with the swish of her tail. Never to be seen by them again, now if someone is wrongfully killed and thrown into the ocean. Another mermaid will find them give them a kiss of life, and they sing their songs to lure people. But they only lure people who hurt and kill those they say they love. They avenge those that cant do it themselves. Out of respect most sailors and pirates keep a wooden mermaid on the front of their ships. Because they know who really rules the seas, no one can resist the song of the sirens.”

All the kids eyes widened their mouths open in awe. “Now, I believe it must be your bedtimes run off, that’s enough story’s now.” The sailor waved off the children who scattered away.

“You left out the part where the she destoyed the ship, and also ate the empress out of spite.” The bar maiden commented while bringing him a beer with a smile.

The sailor nodded. “Yes, i also didn’t tell them what he did to the girl before he killed her, kids dont always need to know that part.”

Peggie Cruisin

A short one shot gender neutral deputy having fun cruising with Sharky.

“John ,Jacob, Joseph then theres Faith, they run a cult like thing. When ever they go out they hear the people shout. RUN ITS THE PEGGIES SAVE YOURSELF. La la la la.” The deputy sang loudly as they steered the truck towards a peggie on the side of the road hitting them.

“Thats the only peggie song i will stand behind. It was beautiful, like that peggie blood splatter on the hood.” Sharky admired with a big grin while pointing to the spot that a moment ago hit the peggie.

The Deputy laughed and gave Sharky a fist bump. “Never in my life did i think how much an honour it would be to hear a complement like that. Its spirit lifting, thanks Shark Bait.”

“You used me as bait to lure the peggies once, when are you going to stop calling me that.” Sharky moaned exasperated.

“Probably never, get mad at Finding Nemo m’kay? They are the one that made it such a likeable nickname. Just be thankful i stopped adding the ‘HOO HA HA’ every time i say it.”

“Oh im thankful. Trust me, im thankfull. Why cant i have a cool nickname name like the one you gave Hurk.” Sharky complained loudly.

The most shocked look went across the deputys face. “Shark Bait is a kick ass nickname! The guy is inspiring ok! And M.C Boom Town just fits, Hes good at blowing shit up. Its literally his specialty” The deputy responded defensively while swerving towards another peggie.

“Is this what you ment when you asked about going peggie cruisin? Running them over in a truck?”

Laughing the deputy nodded. “I wanted high impact, minimal effort peggie hunting. This crosses off both boxs.”

“I swesr to god i feel like we get better friends every day bud.” Sharky said impressed while giving them a firm pat on the shoulder. “No wait i change that, at this point its more like family. You are definitely family. Ooh look! Theres a another peggie over there.” That firm pat quickly turned to hard shaking.

The truck took a sharp turn in that direction. “You’re definitely my family to, Shark Bait, but try not to run us of the road shaking me though. Neither of us are any good dead.”

Sharky rolled his eyes hard and banged his head against the window. “Call me Shark Bait again one more time on this cruise and i swear, im not sharing that primo weed when we get back.”

“Alright, alright i will behave. No need for torture tactics, jeez have some mercy.”

Long nights

Jacob Seed one shot! He stuggles in his marriage. Ive decided to leave his wife unnamed as this is more focusing on Jacobs struggle.

“Jacob Shcmidt, god dammit i am talking to you.” She snarled at him slamming her fists on the counter causing a rattle of the things sitting on it.

“Woman, what have i told you about calling me ‘Schmidt’ he hissed as he turned around to face her. He towered over her in height but she held her own ground none the less.

“Well, maybe I wouldn’t have to resort to pissing you off, if you would frikin talk to me instead of just you walking away while im talking to you.”

“And what is it you want to talk about?” He asked impatiently.

“We’ve been talking for twenty minutes, before you tried to walk away and you dont even know what its about?” The pain and hurt in her voice cut him deeper than the words themselves it radiated across her face. “Forget it, just go... Just go.” Closing her eyes and shaking her head she turns around to walk away.

“So you demand i stay to talk but you can walk away?” Jacob demand defensively.

“I dont care anymore Jacob.” She said softly as she stopped not even turning around to face him. “I fucking love you, but i dont want to be the only one trying. I have to stop. Or its going to consume me.”

Jacob felt his heart stop in his chest. “What do you mean?”

“I need to figure out whats going to make me happy. Maybe you should to. Because we do nothing but fight lately, you don’t even know what it is that we’re fighting about now. You never talk to me about what your doing. Im alone more than im with you, for days Jacob.” She said as she paused momentarily before she continued to walk away to the bedroom.

Everything in his body screamed to go after her, but he couldn’t manage to move his body in that direction. Instead he went outside and got into his truck putting the keys in the ignition, but not starting it. He thought of the day they got married, at city hall because they couldn’t afford a real wedding. How happy and beautiful she was, she didn’t care that it wasn’t big or fancy just that she was with him. And she was so happy for him when Joseph found him a few months after they got married. Because their family was already getting bigger, and he found his brother again after all those years. She only ever wanted him to be happy. Then when he started helping with Edens Gate he thought it would be better to keep her in the dark. To lie about about what they where doing with the project and what they where planning on doing.

Angery at himself he ripped the keys out of the ignition and got out of the truck slamming the door. Swearing he kicked the side of the truck hard, leaving a sizeable dent in its wake. All she wanted to know is where he had been going and staying late, or days at. He had not once given her a straight answer and she was tired of the run around. And she should be. She was always so supportive and understanding towards him, with everything, more than he ever deserved. For what? For him to be selfish and lie to her? She deserved the world from him, and he was barely giving her scraps. Taking a deep breath he leaned against the truck, she was right. She deserved better, he did owe it to her, he owed everything to her, to be honest about everything. Even if she ended up hating him for it, he would deserve it.

Jacob headed back inside taking off his boots before heading to the bedroom walking softly not wanting to upset her more. Although she was lying still in bed, he knew she wasn’t sleeping her breathing pattern was off to be sleeping. He sat on the other side and gently ran his fingers through his hair. He watcher her sleep all the time, when he got home late, or just couldn’t sleep. He would just watch over her, playing with her hair, and when she was deep in sleep he would sing her their song. He paused slightly at that thought.

“Only you, can make this change in me. For its true you are my destiny.” He sang softly as he stroked her hair. “I owe you so much more than i have given you.” He said. “I should of answered your questions on where i was and what ive been doing instead of ignoring you.” He kissed the top of her head gently. “Tomorrow i will take you to talk with Joseph and John. I promise you will know everything.”

Slowly she turned around to face him slowly he could see her eyes where red and swollen from crying. He felt his stomach drop with guilt as he watched her. “Why now?” She asked her voice cracking from crying earlier.

“Because you should know, I should of been including you. I was selfish in thinking you didn’t have to, that you would be better not involved.”

As confused as she was by that, she decided all comments would be better left for Joseph and John. So she just nodded. “Come to bed with me.”

“Anything you want pup.”

Say yes part two

John seed x OC Elle white.

Fast forward a few years.

The sun was high, it was hot out there was no breeze to help cool her down. She didn’t know why but she wanted to keep watch in the horizon something was going to happen. Just when she thought she couldn’t take the heat anymore a breeze ripped through feild. It felt so refreshing.

“Its not safe where you are.” Elle turned around John was standing there, but it wasn’t the John Duncan she knew. He was different, dressed different and there was something else different about him? Thats right, its John Seed now. She could see Falls End behind him the sound of the church bell rang throught the air. “Dont get caught out here.” John said befor he disappeared.

Confused Elle reached out for him but something behind her made her turn around. The bomb hit the ground, the explosion was instantaneously the impact wave reached out fast as the mushroom cloud reached up into the sky. Screaming Elle tried to sheild herself as the heat wave raced towards her.

Elle sat up panicked, breathing heavily. Its just a dream. She reminded herself shakily. She got out of the backseat of her car the cool night air was refreshing against her damp skin. Leaning against the car she looks up at the sky, the sun was starting to come up. Sighing deeply after a few minutes she got into the drivers seat. Might as well keep driving, a few hours out of Falls End. She thought as she started the car up and started driving. To the town she had never been to, that haunted her dreams.

She wasn’t far past the tunnel when her car broke down she had her backpack on and almost ready to walk away when a white truck pulled up. There was a big cross on the hood of the truck and the sides, their clothes also had the same cross. They must be from the church. She thought

“You having car trouble?” One of the men asked as they all got out.

Elle laughed and nodded “Go figure eh? Its been a long trip out im not surprised. You gentlemen wouldn’t know where i could find John Seed? Im an old friend.” Elle asked with a nice smile. But she could tell something was off, as soon as she said Johns name their face hardened.

“Whats your business with John?” They asked their whole demeanour turned hostile.

“Im an old friend.” Elle replied firmly and flatly, they seemed not to like that answer but where unsure how to react to her yet.

Slowly one of the men went back to the truck and grabbed a radio and started talking quietly on it. The others just stared her down waiting. “Whats you name?” Radio guy hollered out.

“Elle White.”

There wasnt much of a pause after he repeated her name “Get in, we’re taking you to the Seed Ranch.” Radio guy yelled out. All the other guys waited for her to start walking before they did, following her close. She got in the passenger seat and the rest of them crammed in the back.

The ride there was quiet other than the radio which was blasting a song that seemed the lyrics where something like ‘Oh John’. But Elle wasn’t paying much attention to the music she was nervous about the men who very much out numbered her. As the house came into view Elle realized the road next the the plane runway that they turned down, was actually a long driveway. He did like his planes she thought remembering the few times he took her out. John was waiting outside with another man she didn’t recognize, John was wearing the same clothes as her dream. Where as the other man was shirtless and had his hair up in a bun. The men who drove you didn’t stay after they dropped you off, they left right away after a nod to John and the other man.

“Its been so long Elle, its so nice to see you.” John said warmly as he came over to hug her. His voice was just as silky as the last time she heard it.

“I missed you John.” Elle replied while hugging him back.

“This is Joseph, i never had the chance to introduce you before i left.” Elle looked over to him his face was friendly, but he was looking right into her eyes. She almost felt like he was staring through her, into her soul.

“Ive seen you before, In one of my visions, your just beautiful in person. Your with us in the collapse, you help us prepare, you help us shepherd into the new era.” He said softly while taking a step towards Elle, but coming no closer.

A vision of the bomb dropping flashed through her mind. “I haven’t seen you in mine.” She looked over to John she could almost feel the heat of the blast against her skin. “But i seen John.” If John was surprised at that he hid it well. “He told me I wasn’t safe where i was and not to get caught outside”

Joseph started walking towards her and cupped her face in his hands. “The lord brought you here, because this is your place, you will help us ive seen it.” His smile was so reassuring. “You and yours, will be welcome to walk through Edens Gate with us.”

“The government is trying to gather information on you all. They came to to visit me, trying to get information on John, from when he was in the law firm. They thought i might hold grudges against him for my brothers ruined career and life.” Elle blurted out.

“The career you helped to ruin?” John asked while raising his eyebrow.

“I dont think they realized i told you not to play favours with him. Or that i gave April the evidence that lead to his criminal charges. Because since you left shortly after his divorce was settled and it came out that he was stealing from clients. They thought it ended badly between us from the firms decision not to help Mike with one of their lawyers. And that since i was a ‘Scorned woman’ in their eyes i must be out for blood.” Elle snorted and rolled her eyes. “You know because emotional women cant think clearly and all i guess.”

“When will the little ones join us.” Joseph asked with a warm smile. Its like it didn’t even phase him Elle mentioned the government was after them. John, he took a small step back and studied Elle completely surprised by Josephs comment on little ones.

Elle was surprised herself. “How did you know about my children?” She asked cautiously.

“I seen them in my visions, with you. You must have lots to talk about, and i will have more times to talk with you later. You should talk with John now.” He smiled warmly at her before he walked away down the driveway.

“Come in.” John motioned towards the house.

“Thank you.” Elle said with a small smile, John took her into the dining room and started to make some coffee. Which seemed to take hours to make even though it was only minutes.

“What are their names?” He asked as he passed her a cup.

Elle paused and sipped on her coffee before she sighed deeply and looked in his eyes. “I was going to tell you.” She said softly. “But by the time I realized it, you where leaving with your brother to reclaim your family name. I didn’t want it...” She paused looking for the right words. “I was scared, i knew you had your path. And I didn’t think mine was with you at that moment, I didn’t want it to derail anything for you. I didn’t want it to seem like i was trapping you after you had found your family again.” She blurted out she could feel the heat in her face. “They’re twins, Mira and Johnathan, or Mimi and Joe as they say it.”

She gave him a small smile John was listening to her, his face made of stone taking in her words but showing no emotion. It made Elles stomach knott in the suspended moment of waiting for the other shoe to drop. “When will they get here?” He asked, his face still blank with emotion.

“Mikes ex wife, April shes looking after them right now. When i give her the call shes going to bring them, shes a couple towns over with them. I wasn’t sure how it was going to go with me showing up, or what i was walkimg into.” Elle replied softly while taking another drink of her coffee, hoping it would magically wash her nerves away.

John put his coffee down and walked towards her, each step she could feel her stomach drop a little more and more. Like each step echoed though her body vibrating her every nerve. Her chest felt like there was a hundred pounds sitting on it, each breath was a battle. One of his arms wrapped around her waist as the other grabed her hair behind her head. Kissing her hard, tightly holding her close against him. She kissed him back more aggressively, hungry for more.

After a few moments Elles pocket vibrated against them, breaking the embrace pulling away Elle looked at her phone. “Its April.”

John kissed her forhead. “Bring them here, this is their home. Your place is in Edens Gate with me, i will give you everything, give them everything.” His grip on her was firm. “Say, it.” He whispered as he leaned in she could feel his breath on her ear. “Say yes, Elle.” It was almost a demanding tone, but it still sent shivers down her spine.

Elle swallowed hard, she didn’t know what to expect when she left to look for him for answers, certainly wasn’t expecting this. She mostly wanted answers to her dreams, now shes left with more questions. Questions and one big desire, and longing. His grip tightened more as he waited impatiently for her response. “Yes.” She mumbled his grip on her relaxed, along with the rest of his body as it embraced her more gently.

“Thats my girl.” He murmured as he gently kissed her neck.

Elle could feel her whole body tingle as she leaned into him, enjoing his current gentle state. She took a moment soaking it in before she pulled away to call April back to bring the kids.

John begrudgingly had emergency business to attend to before April arrived, his mood was foul when he left with the men. Who seemed very aware they wanted to do this quickly as possible.

The kids played out in the yard while April and Elle sat off to the side watching them. “You sure its safe here?” April asked looking over at Elle. “I looked this place up, its cultish.”

Elle laughed a little. “Oh believe me April, i looked it up to.” She flashed her a smile. “But everything just makes sense to me. I dream about a town that up until today i never seen get dusted by a bomb. In said town happens to have a... Alright cult is the right word for it, who are preparing for a doomsday.” Aprils face changed to a ‘really’ look. “Yes, almost every cult is doomsday like” Elle scowled every word dripping with sarcasm. “But this cult just so happens to be lead with my ex, father of my children who apears in the KA BOOM dream. Looking exactly like saw him in today, and he looks completely different from the last time i saw him.” Elle even added in hand gestures for the ka boom.

“Yeah, if i wasn’t there for your first dream, I dont even know if I would of believed you. Being woken up to you screaming, god you where so scared. Helping you look up this town, that I didn’t even thought existed because ‘It was just another nightmare’ kind of thing.” She stopped and looked over at Elle. “Its been a wild ride.”

“It has been, im glad i got you in the divorce.”

“Amen to that, gained a sister in marriage even though the marriage failed the sisterhood thrived.” April agreed. “Saw your car broke down by the tunnel, i told you to wait for the mechanic and leave today.”

“Im sorry, i though we where talking about sisterhood, this sounds like a mom ‘I told you so’ thing.” Elle snorted while rolling her eyes. “Besides I wanted to get here as soon as possible.”

“Im thankful you did.” Johns voice came from behind them, both women turned around. He was walking towards them but watching the kids.

“Well, now is a good time to go site seeing before everything gets dusted.” April said as she stood up smiling and nodding to John as she passed.

He nodded towards her but his gaze was fixed on Mira and Johnathan, who where oblivious to anything going on in their direction. “Want me to call them over?” Elle asked.

John shook his head and sat down next to Elle. “Let them play.” He looked over to her. “You all will have a baptism tomorrow, the church will have a big lunch for everyone to meet you.” He gently put his hand on her face and brought his eyes to her. “I enjoyed our time together more than i have with anyone else, as short as it was. When Joseph found me, and invited me to join him, i considered offering you money to come. To include you in Edens gate, to help us build it up from the ground, i certainly could of used your talents from time.” He paused watching her face. “Offering you money, you would of laughed at me, you never desired that.”

“I would of gone with you, just to go with you. Not for the money. I like your stubbornness, and cunning fierceness and most of all the great sex.” Elle replied giving him a smile. “If i had gone with you, I probably wouldn’t of been as scared to tell you about the twins. But the could of, should of scenarios can go in so many ways. And it makes no difference because we are in the here and now with what did happen. But, a full circle was made, I know this is where we need to be.”

Whoo, end of part two! I have definitely decided on more Elle stories to come!

[lostandbrokenshell]

Say yes

Alright a John Seed X OC Elle White

Warning: Smut, smutty, smut, smut 🍋 🍋 🍋 It is also my first time writing smut so i do hope you enjoy.

Pre cult setting. John Seed Lawyer, and law firm partner meets Elle White P.I investigator. Part one of two, but probably more storys of Elle to come.

Elle got off the elevator walked towards the office of Mike White. As soon as the secretary saw her she stepped in to intercept but Elle just pushed her out of the way and stepped into the office. His face dropped when he saw her, there was another man in the office as well.

“Sorry to interrupt, rather important.” Elle said with a pleasant smile.

“Should i call security she pushed right past me?” The secretary asked angerly.

“No need for that dear, Sara. That is your name right? Hm? Security isn’t needed because his wife sent me, im his sister to so it would make the family dinners a bit more awkward to throw me out.” Elle replied cheekily the other man had a small smile while both Mike and Sara whent white.

Clearing his throat Mike stood up. “Its ok Sara, John im sorry but can we continue this later?”

John seemed slightly amused at the situation but nodded at Mike. “Of course, and its a pleasure to meet you Elle I have heard so much its nice to put a face to the name. He gave her a small handshake on the way out.

Mile made sure the door was all the way shut before turning to Elle but before he could Elle cut in. “She’s already moved everything of hers out Mike, I spent the morning helping her.” His face dropped. “Her lawyer has all the evidence, you broke your own prenup you ass. You deserve this, i liked April she was sweet and kind.”

“Your my sister Elle, your supposed to be on my side.” He said angerly as he sat down at his desk.

“You screwed your secretary, one of my friends and countless other women and im supposed to side with you? By the way my now ex friend Bri, she’s pregnant congrats im going to be an auntie and your going ro be a dad now.” Mike sat silently in his chair digesting your words.

“Well i told you everything i had to, hope you enjoyed ruining your life.”

“You probably ruined it the most, that was a partner in the firm that was in here. Now, he was first hand at a scandal that doesn’t look good for me.” Mike replied angrily. “This could affect how i move up in this firm.”

“Your choices, your actions, your failing life, besides i doubt he cars about your adultry. Your wife just asked me to be the messenger because she was just so disgusted with you. Your lying, gaslighting and cheating.” Elle locked eyes with Mike watching him squirm in his seat. Flashing a smile at him she leaves Sara sat quietly at her desk head hung low. “One of his other mistress’s is pregnant, just so you know.” Elle commented as she walked by and continued to the elevator where is seemed John was waiting.

He flashed her a smile that sliced through her, his eyes locked on hers. “Elle, i was hoping you would join me for lunch?” He asked silkily.

Elle couldn’t help but laugh a bit. “Oh? Sorry for laughing, not what i was expecting from my trip here. Before i answer your question, how about you answer one for me? Why?” Elle raised her eyebrow at him.

John seemed amused at her response. “You seem like you know what you want and how to get it. Your confident, stand your ground and dont take no for an answer. I like that.”

Elle studied his face as he studied hers. “Ok, on the condition that it plays no favours in Mikes direction. He can sink or swim by himself.”

“Fair enough.” He said as he pushed the button for the elevator, the doors opened up right away and he motioned for her to take his arm. She couldn’t help but give him a sly smile as she slid her arm through his. “Do you prefer anything or place?”

“Hhmm, how about surprise with a great view?”

He laughed softly and pulled out his phone while he pushed the parkade button. “I can certainly arrange that.” He must of had the number on speed dial because a few moments later he was talking to someone. “For two, we arrive in twenty to thirty minutes.” Then he hung up and flashed her a smile.

It all of a sudden clicked to her just which partner John was. Duncan. John Duncan, one of the more wealthy partners and certainly the most fearsome lawyer. The doors up and the car was already waiting already by the elevator.

To Elles surprise it was lunch at his penthouse looking over the city, he had called his chef in the elevator at the firm. “Do you take women to your place often for lunches?” She asked raising an eyebrow at him.

“Hardly ever no.” He replied coyly. “But i told you, you didn’t take no for an answer. I admire that.”

Elle laughed softly. “When your job is getting into other people’s business to expose them, no isnt much of an option for me. Im a P.I, incase you didn’t know.”

John was intrigued by her work and talked throughout the lunch with her about her job, finding information on people. They kept talking past lunch, about all kinds of things, her life and his.

Elle giggled softly and sipped her wine. “I really do have to give you credit, this is not at all what I expected.”

John chuckled softly and moved closer and leaned in so his head was next to hers. “It’s certainly been a pleasure.” He said softly Elle felt the goosebumps spread across her body. Gently he cupped her face and kissed her lightly on the lips. “Lets put this down.” He gently took her wine glass and put it down. Then he wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her in tight against him, she could feel his muscles flex as he put his lips to hers again.

She instantly kissed him back deepening the kiss, he rolled them both so Elle was beneath him on the couch. Pressing his body against hers, she couldn’t help but moan softly as he pinned her. She moved her hands up his chest grabbing fistfuls of his shift and arching her back as he playfully bit her neck.

“How about we move this to the bed.” He purred in her ear, he nibbled playfully on her ear.

She could feel a tingling sensation move from her head down to her toes. “Hmm.” She moaned as she bit her lip.

John got up and helped Elle up kissing her gently on the lips. She watched his expression change from tender to mischievous as a smirk spread across his face. He picked her up at the waist, she instantly wrapped her legs around him. One of his hands grabed the hair on the back of her head pulling it back exposing her neck. Biting more her there slightly more aggresssive than that last time causing her the breath in sharply through her teeth. Letting go of her hair he carried her the room as she started unbuttoning his shirt.

“Mm, i cant be the only one losing clothes.” He mumbed softly into her ear as one of his hands slides under her shirt. With a small giggle she helped him take it as he lied her down on the bed. Grabbing her wrists he pinned them above he head as he pushed his body against hers, his hips grinding against her. She could feel how hard he was, and she wanted it so bad. “Tell me yes.” His voice was so silky, and yet in a way so demanding his grip slightly tightening as he waited for her answer.

“Yes.” She moaned as she lightly pushing her hips against his.

“Good girl.” He purred as he kissed her aggressively, which she eagerly returned. Slowly he started kissing down her neck and chest, letting her arms go. Moving down to her stomach he looked up at her. “Keep your arms up, or there will be consequences. Do you understand?” He said as he looked up at her raising an eyebrow at her his hand where at her pants.

“Yes.” She moaned softly biting her bottom lip, her body felt like it was going to explode she wanted him so bad. He pulled her pants and underwear off and Elle moaned in anticipation, she almost brought her hands down to grab a hold of his hair. Instead she grabbed the sheets and thrust her hips up at him fighting back the urge to move her arms.

“Mm, so wet, so excited.” He hummed as he spread her legs and continued to kiss down her body. His tongue found her clit instantly she exhaled in a moan and thrust her hips up to him. His fingers slid inside her and she couldn’t resist grabbing his hair, instantly he bit her thigh hard. With a small yelp she let go and put her hand back up. “Hands, stay up. Or next time, it will hurt more.” He said as he gave her a stern look.

“Yes.” His fingers moved in her again as he went back to licking and sucking on her clit his fingers massaging her inside. Her body started screaming for release as his speed picked up. “Please.” She moaned. “Please, i need to feel you in me.”

“Your feeling me in you right now.” He hummed into her sex as he increased the speed of his fingering, and licking her clit.

“Your cock, i want it so bad.” She whimpered fighting every urger to grab his hair and pull it. He responded by going harder, she felt her body shudder as she let out a loud moan.

John stood up and quickly took his pants and boxers off and went back between her legs.

“Please.” She whimpered in protest. John looked up at her and started kissing his way back up her body. She could feel his hardness as he pushed his hips against hers. “Oh god John stop teasing me, please.” She moand as she thrust her hips up against his.

He grabbed her leg and put it on his shoulder she could feel his tip rubbing against her, she took a deep inhale and grabbed a fistful of the sheets. “I dont plan on being gentle or easy on you.” He whispered in her ear.

“Jesus John, stop teasing me please, yes, please.” She begged. He pushed in her, his whole length Elle gasped as it stretched her out with his girth. John kissed her and thrust into her aggressively Elle moaned into his mouth as she matched his stride, raising her hips to reach his.

He held on to her wrists as he pushed hard into her body, he could feel her tightness as it constricted around him with each move. He wanted to do more to her, but he had worked himself up as much as he worked her up. He wanted her just as bad, and her body tasted so sweet.

He moved her other leg on his shoulder and she could feel as he pushed himself all the way in her body. Her whole body tingled as he quickened his pace and increased his aggressiveness.

“Oh John.” She moaned as she felt herself climaxing her back arched pushing herself against him. He pushed back trysting hard into her he groaned as he climaxed with her and pulled out turning to lay on his back. “Fuck that felt so good John.” She moaned.

He chuckled softly. “Go have a shower while i order us some food.” He whispered as his hand cupped behind her neck and kissed her forehead.

Hope you enjoyed it! Im not sure if part 2 will have smut none the less i hope you enjoyed part 1 smut.

“Yay me.” You say sarcastically.

“He loves you, you know.”

“I don’t doubt that. Like how i dont doubt that kidnapping, torturing and forcing people to listen to you is WRONG. I swear to god if you say something about saving people i will find a way to kill my self. I will find a creative way and i will end my life and it will rebound onto you, your responsibility. Try me.”

She stared at you eyes wide you could see genuine panic throughout her body as you said that. She cleared her throat and took a deep breath. “I may have always wanted to meet you, but those where from stories from when you where a different person. Like, how your brothers are a different person now. Your the same in some aspects different in others.” She took another deep breath. “But after seeing the things that you do, it was nice to be excited to meet you in a different way. I get to meet a part of you I didn’t hear about, a new part, the person you became.” She paused to see if you wanted to say something but you remained quiet.

She stood up and come sat next to you and held your hand. “Your a very brave, caring, passionate person thats very admirable. You have every reason to think we are the enemy. But we are not, i dont want to try to convince you. You have every reason not to trust us. Someone should be here soon to look at your leg again to there should be pain meds to.” She gave you a smile. “Im sorry i cant leave you though, i have to stay with you.”

“Im not surprised.. They never found my friend i was with right? He got away?”

She lightly squeezed your hand. “I never heard anything about another person. You must really care about your friends.”

“Wouldn’t you?”

“I never really had friends.”

You look at her and got the impression she wasn’t lying. “When i first moved out to Canada, word got out i might of torched a police, school and church.” Faith looked incredibly shocked that you did that. “Everyone hated me. Everyone. Except one kid, Mark. He thought that was the coolest thing ever and talked to me about. Then he found out why i did it and wondered why I didn’t use gas so it would burn more. Slightly off track sorry. But he ended up dying, and i was alone again. It became easy to be alone. People eventually stopped hating me, but I preferred keeping to my self. When I moved here every thing happened right away. So pretty much everyone of my friends here, ive built freash, on trust. Lots of trust, they had no reason to trust me i earned it, they earned it.”

Faith gave you a small smile. “Why did you burn down a church, school and police station?” She asked.

“Torched, they didn’t burn down, but there was some burning. Definitely burned some stuff, but, uh. The pastor and principal where exploiting kids and the police where helping cover it up, looking the other way.”

Faith gave you, what you figured must of been the most genuine smile she’s ever given you. “Thats kinda cool you did that.”

“No one deserves that happening to them, the people who who supposed to protect them, where the ones doing it.” You must of struck a good chord with her because you watched the shift in her. Soft, ungaurded, she wasn’t wearing her mask personality.

“How did your friend die?” She asked softly.

“He was hit by a car, we where walking to school and he saw the car coming and pushed me out of the way. It was a drunk driver, at eight in the morning he jumped to curb and came right at us. I was clipped, by the mirror broke my arm. But he was hit head on, he died while we waited for the ambulance.”

“Is that why you became a paramedic?”

“It is. I felt that if i had known what to do i might of been able to buy more time. I know now that it would of made no difference, but i helped a lot of people from it.”

She gave you another smile. “I kind of wish i had the chance to meet you before all this.” She said softly.

“Me to, i wish that I came here and stopped all this before it happened.”

The door opened and a peggie with a bag of medical supplies came in. “Sorry for interupting, im here to look at the leg.” He came over and knelt beside you gently touching your leg. “I already took the bullet out, no artery damage, but lots of muscle damage. You should take an easy.” He said as he started unwrapping it. “Looks good, no sign of infection, im going go give you a shot for the pain.”

“Pass.”

“If your not feeling it now, you certainly will later.” He replied surprised. “It tore into your muscles, and it was not the ideal situation to get them out. Its going to really hurt.”

“Thats the coolest true story, and im firm on my decision. I will take the pain.” Both The peggie and Faith looked unsure about that but didn’t argue. He wrapped up your leg again with clean bandages and left.

“Are you trying to be brave?” Faith asked undoubtedly referring to you declining pain meds.

“No, just lucid. No offence but im in enemy territory, i can handle the pain.”

“We wont hurt you.”

You laugh and give her a big smile. “Im not worried about that either. I just feel like the smart thing to do is to pay attention when i can, because you never know.”

“Is it true you hid a cat in your room when you where kids?” Faith asked.

You gave her a small smile. “John found it, he started feeding it first. So it followed him home and i thought it was cute, so i took it into my room. Jacob found it, he was upset with us because if we got caught we would of been in trouble. So he took it away.”

The door opened and Joseph came in, he looked at Faith then the door without a word she got up and left.

“Hello Joanne.”

You never felt so refreshed especially after a bight on the floor. You streach out and ended up smaking someone in the face. “Umpf”

“Shit, sorry bro. Solid my bad.” You say wincing feeling terrible.

“S’okay” Hurk groggily replied you sit up and look at the clock, it was one in the afternoon.

“Im going to go get coffee.” You mumbled as you got up. You heard small shuffling noises behind you as Hurk and Sharky where getting up to. You drink a couple cups of coffee looking out at the lake, Sharky and Hurk stuck with you. Probably incase you decided to sneak off again, which you decided not to. “Hope County really is beautiful.” You say. “Even with all this going on. Im happy i moved here.” You turn around looking at Sharky and Hurk. “You two are great, thanks for being here with me.”

“Thanks for being you.” Hurk replied while giving you a light punch on thr shoulder. After you finish your coffee anf you decided to head and check in on Kim.

Holland Valley roads had considerably less peggie activity the locals where definitely more active as well. It was nice seeing so many people out. You pull into the Rye residence and get out Sharky and Hurk got out to and Kim popped out the door.

You flash her a smile. “I wanted to pop in and see how baby is coming along.” You say excitedly.

“Still here.” She replied warmly while rubbing her belly.

“Must be lots of pressure, any braxton hicks yet?” You ask as you rub her belly.

“Definitely pressure but no braxton hicks yet.” She said as Nick came from around the corner, he must of been at the hanger.

“Oh, hey dep.” he said surprised. “How are you you doing? That.. That must of been tough on you.” You asked.

“Ok, would definitely be the wrong word to use, but im managing, Sharky and Hurk are keeping an eye on me.” You reply. “Im just keeping my self busy right now, all that can be done with this mess still going on.”

“You make sure to have time for yourself when you need it.” Kim told you sternly.

“Thats a great mom voice, that will definitely get the room clean.” You say with a small laugh.

“It gets sterner.” Nick said with a smirk. “Shes got this ‘Your making me mad look’ that can make your heart stop.” Kim smacked him on the arm and gave him a look you assumed was the one he was talking about.

“Alright i should get going, i will have my radio on me if you need help! Unless for some reason im captured. In which case my bad.” You say.

Kim gave you a stern look. “You stay safe, and out of peggie hands.”

“Yes ma’ma.” You felt your body tense a bit.

“See.” Nick said.

When you where on the road after visiting the Rye’s, Adelaide had radioed over for Hurks help with something. You insisted he go, you almost went to but thought maybe another day or two away from peggie drama should be good. You tried to get Sharky to go with him, but Sharky was convinced you where going to look for peggie trouble. Hurk promised to radio in for backup if needed, he left with the truck so he could make haste.

“Alright. Are we just going to meander on around or is there a game plane.” Sharky asked after a while.

“Meander untill something interesting happens.” You say. “That was my original plan when I somehow ended up taking the lodge.”

After a while of just wandering around you end up back in Faiths region. “Should we check in at the jail?” You ask.

“Or, we head to the trailer park and listen to the greatest music ever made!” Sharky countered. You where about to agree when you heard some voices. You both quiet down.

“The Father wants us to get her with bliss bullets if we find her.”

“Why should we take her alive? She should be shot, with a regular bullet like the rest of the sinners.” A gruff voice countered. Sharky and yourself give eachother a sideways looks and go to turn around. There was a peggie right behind you, just as surprised to see you, as you where to see them.

“Run.” You say.

“The sinner sister is here, bliss bullets.” He yelled.

“Run fast.” Sharky said as you both start running through the bush.

There was yelling and loud noises as the started chasing after the two of you taking the occasional shot. You grab Sharky’s hand and turn to the river, there was a boat.

“Uh, dep”

You look at Sharky who was holding his arm, there was blood.

“Im definitely feeling something.” He said, he was already showing signs in his movement as well. You hook your arm around him to help get him to the boat, but the peggies where close behind you. By the time you get to the boat you where completely supporting him you had to help push him in.

“There she is!”

“Wheres the other one?”

“Who cares the Father wants her.”

They dont see Sharky in the boat, and he was right blissed out. Stay safe Sharky you think as you push the boat away and book it back into the bush. Unfortunately they where to close, you felt as your leg got hit. It hurt and it immediately gave way you hit the dirt hard.

“We should just kill her, for John.”

“The father wants her alive.”

You listened to them argue as the bliss started to kick in, they haven’t noticed Sharky was in the boat. Good, he got away they would definitely kill Sharky if they knew he was there. You drift off onto sleep.

You felt the pain in your thigh where the bullet hit you, it throbbed. You open your eyes and sit up looking around immediately locking eyes with Faith.

“You’re awake! Joseph should be here soon.” She said while smiling warmly at you.

Sharky and Pastor Jerome helped you bury John outside of the bunker, no one mentioned the completely trashed room. Not even Nick and Hudson when they came back to check on you. The captured peggies where put in their own cells that many resistance members where once in. It was bitter sweet, the people where free the peggies lost, but John was dead. You where going back to the room to grab the painting, pretty much the only breakable thing, you didn’t break. Hudson was standing in there looking at the bloodstained floor.

“I cant imagine the hell you where in.” You say to her she turned around in startled. “I heard enough stories to have an idea. Im sorry I couldn’t get you sooner.”

She gave you an attempt at a smile. “I cant imagine the hell your in, that must of been hard.”

You shrug you had turned yourself off emotionally for the time being. “I knew the whole time i was planning this, that this was the likely outcome.”

“Doesn’t make it easier.”

“No, but it was still necessary.” You say with an attempted smile you walk over to the painting and grab it. “There was a lot of evil done in this place. Its ours now though. Its our shelter now.” Hudson nodded. “Im happy your ok Hudson, Pratt and Whitehorse are at the jail, you should find a place to go get some rest and head there. Maybe hit it the spread eagle and have a drink or two.”

“You should get some rest to.” She said gently.

You nod and smile a bit. “Im going to head back to my place for a few days. I found some marijuana not long ago in a prepper stash, im going to smoke it and get really drunk.” You say with a nod. She flashed you a small smile as you said goodbye and left with your painting.

Both Sharky and Hurk insisted on going with you to keep you company. When you mentioned getting drunk and high they got excited and side tripped to grab more. You went and put the painting in your bunker while they rolled a joint they swear, was going to be the size of a cigar. You hang it above the couch and take a step back looking at it, you all looked so happy. Even Jacob had a sloppy half grin. Taking a deep breathe you head back to Sharky and Hurk. You really had to hand it to them, they REALLY know how to party and how to keep someone distracted. After a few days you decided you needed a different distraction and went into Jacobs region. Much to Sharky and Hurks objection you went alone, you actually had to sneak away from them.

Your original attempt was to wander around Jacobs region alone but things never end up as planned. You ended up running into resistance members and help take back the lodge Jacob was using to put people through trials. “Thanks for your hard work deputy.” Eli said while giving you a nod. “Taking this back will go a long way.”

“Im here to help.” You say with a small smile. You where helping tend to the people a lot of them where in bad shape. From malnutrition to severe wounds, lots of them wont be able to make it, but you did your best. After a few hours you decided you needed a break and went out to the lake for some quiet. The moon was full, there was wolves howling somewhere in the distance, or judges. The starry sky was reflecting perfectly upon the lake.

“How you holding up.”

You look behind you Charlie was standing there wearing normal clothes. “Are you blending in or switching sides?” You ask.

Chuckling he walked over to you. “Blending in, Jacob wanted to make sure you where ok. Word is, you spent a couple of days doing drugs and being completely wasted.” He said as he raised his eyebrow.

“That’s very true, thought about doing a few more. Then settled on wandering the woods, somehow ended up here. How did you know i was here?” You ask.

“Like the resistance would have the balls to take this place without you.” You replied with a smirk. “As soon as word got to Jacob he had me change to check on you, so officially, how are you doing?”

“Officially, my brother died in my arms. I helped, because i couldnt talk him into stopping even though he was outnumbered. My other two brothers are continuing their charades that led to the death of my one brother.” You say looking him in the eyes. “I cant join my brothers, they are murdering and torturing people.”

“You maybe on opposite sides, but your brothers love you.” He gently put his hands on your shoulders. “Your doing the best you can. Your doing it way better than anybody else could if they where in your shoes. I cant stay any longer now though, but Jacob wants you to know he loves.”

“Did he actually say that.” You ask.

“Not with words, but in his own Jacob way yes, thats why im here. Because he was concerned about your wellbeing, and he doesn’t care about anyone’s wellbeing.” He said with a smile before he turned around and walked away. “My orders where to drag you back if you where anything but ok. So keep doing what you’re doing JoJo, untill next time.”

Sighing you go back into the lodge to find a bed to crash in. When you woke up you seen Sharky and Hurk sleeping on your floor you where really confused. You go over and lightly shake them. “Hey buddies, how did you find me?”

“You think sneaking off will stop Sharky and i? Nah man, your like family we gotta make sure your ok and see it through.” Hurk said groggily as he sat up.

Sharky sat up next to him yawning. “Hes right, your like the brother we never had. But, you know with boobs and other stuff. It wasn’t hard figuring out where you went. Everyone was talking about how the lodge was taken, who else would be behind it?” You felt your eyes water up and you hugged them. They didn’t hesitate hugging you back. “We got your back dep, even when you think you dont need it.”

“Especially then.” Hurk added.

“It’s early, lets go back to sleep.” You say as you lie down between them.

“Ya, we got here late.” Hurk yawned and Sharky didn’t need to be told twice he fell back with a thud. It wasn’t hard going back to sleep it washed over you like a wave.

“By the Father these crates are heavy.”

“Dont let John hear you, hes been in a rage ever since he came back from the ranch.”

“That sinner sister isn’t going to see the light. Shes going to stay a sinner and burn up in the hell fire in the collapse with the rest of the sinners.”

“You heard The Father. He said he seen her in New Eden. I believe in him, theres time for her believe in the word.”

“I hope your right. Lets load them into the elevator and bring them down right away. Try and get ahead of schedule.”

Your breath was a little shallower than you wanted and you where having a hard time not panicking. Your sure everyone heard their talk and you where wondering what New Eden was. Was it the name of one of the bunkers? You chew on your lip nervously as you waited for them to finish unloading and leave. Slowly you poke your head out, coast was clear so you climb out quietly. You help some of the others out and you all look around at each other, you made it inside.

“Lets move slowly and remember, we need to look at the other peggies like we belong, not like we hate them.” You say quietly. Slowly you all start going down the hallways, there was cells, you where on the right floor. As luck would have it the first group of peggies you run into was also at the time the alarm went off. They started the assault at the front of the bunker.

“We will stay here and hold the floor, you go see if you can provide reinforcement.” Ted said in a gruff voice. “For the Father!”

“For the Father!” They yelled as they ran to go upstairs.

“Do you know where door releases are?” Nick asked to the people in the cells, who seemed really surprised at the question.

“No, its all in one control room, damn Nick Rye is that you? Damn theres a lot of you here!” One of them replied confused.

Nick nodded. “Ya its me, the calvary is with me. We got extra pistols to arm you all, we’re going to get you out and take this place.” Thankfully the prisoners kept their cool and didn’t get roudy. But you could see the excitement and relief on their faces they started hugging each other.

“It might be down that hall.” One of them pointed after a second. “Dont know for sure but I think i might of heard something.”

“Split up, find the release spread the word to the prisoners to keep it cool when the doors swing open.” Grace said calmly everyone nodded and you all split up. Nick went in the direction the prisoner pointed in everyone else went at random.

Eventually you find a big apartment like room, it was well put together. Is this Johns room? You think as you go in, it was spacious meticulous, shiny. It was definitely Johns room. The living room, kitchen dining room where combined it was completely open.

There was a painting of all four of you as kids hanging above a couch, it was based of of a picture. You remembered that day, Jacob stole a disposable camera for you, you took all kinds of pictures of everything. Eventually when it got to the last picture you begged your brothers to take the picture with you. It was at the school park, you where on Jacobs back Joseph was beside him and John was in front of them both. In the original picture he has his tounge sticking out, in the painting he was just smiling. You haven’t seen the picture since you where taken from your parents. Did John have it all this time?

“That picture was the only thing, I could hide from my adopted parents.” You heard from behind you. John came into the room his sleeves where rolled up and he had blood on him. He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards you he was looking at your outfit. “Dressed up as my men? And that got you in?”

“Not really, a little more to it than that.” You reply nervously.

He came over and hugged you tightly then let go keeping you at arms length. “They use to beat me, my adopted parents. To confess my sins, my lies. They where convinced i was tainted in my soul, that i was always doing something wrong. It didn’t matter if I didn’t do anything, they wanted to hear yes, so i told them yes. I made things up, what ever they wanted to hear, its what they wanted. So i gave it to them, and i got good at it, the stories, convincing people.” He gave you a smile and pointed to the painting. “I managed to grab the picture i put it in one of my books before they took us. I kept it to myself for selfish reasons, then when we got split up, it was all i had. If they knew about that picture, It would have been taken away from me. It was all i had left of my family that loved me, it was the only thing I could keep hidden.”

“Jesus John.” You whisper you couldn’t really believe what he was telling you. You knew he wasn’t lying and that broke you. “Please come with me John.” You plead. “Stop this, stop hurting people. Theres more of us in here, we probably let go and armed your prisoners. Its over. Come with me, give yourself up.”

“I cant do that JoJo.” He replied. “You belong with us, here, with your family that loves you.”

“Your right John, and there’s nothing more i want than to be with my family, i moved a long ways to be here. But what you are all doing, i can NOT get behind. It goes against who i am.”

“The people need saving, we can save them. Save you, Joanne.”

“John please, we can still walk out of here. You can walk out of here let me take you into custody please.”

“I would rather die than give up.”

“That can be arranged.” You both turn around and Hudson was standing there with Nick. She looked banged up, some very recent cuts and bruises. It was probably her blood on him, with out hesitation she had her gun out and shot three times.

John instantly fell back hitting the ground you felt your body go into muscle memory mode and immediately kick in to paramedic gear. You dropped beside him and ripped his shirt open to look at the wounds. One shot looked like it just missed his heart two where right by his lungs. You could see bubbles forming at one of the wounds by his lungs with his breathing. You felt tears roll down your face.

He was watching your face. “How long.” He asked coughing up blood, at least one of the bullets hit his lung.

“Maybe half hour maybe. If you dont drown in your blood, its going to pool in your chest and collapse your lungs further, if you dont die from blood loss first.” You say your voice was shaky, and you where trying to keep it together as much as you could.

Slowly John put his hand by his waist and grabbed his knife, you could hear someone shift getting ready behind you. He took your hand and put it on the handle and positioning it above his heart. “You always had a way of standing your ground.” He coughed.

“I tried to get my adopted parents to find you, adopt you to. I had nightmares about when they split us up, use to wake up screaming for you all. It was always that fire, you holding me as i cried. I felt so bad, like it was my fault because they hit me for not doing what i was told. The moments that where the worst was when the police where trying get us all into different cars. You bit that officer, then Jacob head butted him after he called you a little shit.” You couldn’t help but smile a little. “You tried so hard to hold on.”

“You dont need someone to hold onto now. Your strong enough to keep yourself safe.” His words where laboured and slightly gurgled as he struggled to breathe. You felt his hand push down and you helped push down the knife to.

“Go help the others. I need a few minutes.” You say your voice cracking you where trying your best not to loose it.

“You sure?” Nick asked.

You nod. “They need the help more than me.” You heard them leave slowly, you where sure they felt conflicted on leaving you.

You kept it together for a few minutes after they left before you lost it. You ran your fingers through your hair grabbing onband curl up sobbing hard. After a few minutes you sit up still crying and see the dining room table. You felt a prickle of anger so you go over and throw the chairs against the wall. You look around and start throwing things all over the place, as long as it looked like it would break before it hit. Slowly you stop and wipe the tears from your face and take a deep breath. You noticed a room off of the kitchen the door was open slightly. It had monitor screens everywhere video from all over the bunker you could see the whole battle. The resistance was winning, the peggies outside the bunker where worn thin and hurt. The resistance had all the prisoners free and quickly overwhelmed and taken guns from the peggies. They where pushing up and no matter what there was no escape. You also noticed a P.A system that seemed to be linked outside as well.

You take another deep breath. “You got this.” You say softly to your self. “You can talk to the people with out sounding like a hot mess, you can do this.” You click on the speaker button. “To those fighting for Edens Gate, Johns dead. Your trapped, your have resistance members coming up behind you, you have resistance members breaking down the door in front of you. Those who lay down their arms and give up will not be killed. Their has been enough death for the day.” You watched as a number of peggies stopped and gave up, it only took 15 minutes after that for the fighting to end. You had successfully taken the bunker.

When you got to your cabin the first thing you checked was your bunker. It had way more supplies it, medical, guns, ammo, food and lots of other things. You stare at it in disbelief, how did he get in? Or know where you lived? The bunker has a key code lock where did he get the code, and why stock it? You leave the bunker and stand in the middle of your yard thinking, about how confusing this situation is.

“Now, what the fuck do i do.” You yell. “FUCKING CHRIST.” You try to kick at a bucket but your foot somehow twists and you fall flat on your face. “Fuck me.” You sigh laying there accepting your fate. I’m one with the ground now, i can live here, its a good spot you think. Rolling over to your back you look up at the sky there where very little clouds out it was endless starry skies. “Should of taken that job in Fort Mac, or maybe moved earlier see how crazy shit was and GTFO.” You say to your self.

“They say crazy people talk to them selves.” You sit up, it was a resistance member.

“You know i think i have to throw a false on that, you dont hear many peggies talk to themselves.”

He snorted with laughter. “Well, theres one good thing from all this, we can lay that myth to rest.” He was watching you closely.

“If you need supplies go ahead and check the house.” You say nodding to the house.

“Dont need supplies, are you the deputy?”

“Im one of the deputies.” You say nodding.

“Close enough then, i might be able to get you into Johns bunker. If your interested.”

You where surprised, for a few different reasons. “Alright im in, but, uh, how did you find me?”

“Im Ted, I ran in to Sharky, he said this was your place and if you where lying low to try you here. He said and i quote ‘Its probably better than dressing as peggies.’ Which it is.” He said looking confused. “Who would try that? Thats a stupid idea. Dressing up like peggies.”

“That was my idea, in all fairness it was in the ‘fucking stupid’ idea pile, but no one else had any better options.” You say defensively.

He laughed. “Well now there’s one. We noticed that peggies truck stuff arlund they drop it off pick up system that brings stuff all around the regions. All drop off points go to specific outposts, or bunkers, we know which ones goes into Johns. We can hide in a containers and let them bring us in, we trojan horse our way in, get Hudson and kick ass.

You sat there surprised. “Damn that’s brilliant, you guys where staking out which spots when where?” You ask.

“Yeah, seemed like one way or another it could work to our advantage.”

“Your one of my new favourite people.” You say with a big smile and get up. “Lets go find people to storm the castle.”

Whitehorse stood there rubbing his chin thinking after you and Ted explained the plan. “So how do we not cause a panic that their is a group of armed resistance members in Johns bunker?” He asked after a while.

“Uh, we’re dressed like peggies so we blend in?” You say with a shrug.

“What is it with you and dressing like peggies, do you have a hard on forvtheir fashion?” Sharky asked

“Well, they dont look as hard at their own people. They might stare us down going into the vault, but inside they are probably way more lax. They wont be expecting us already inside.”

“Might not hurt, we just got to keep our heads down.” Ted said nodding. “At least until we reach our people and arm them, then we can really get them peggies.”

“You sure about this?” Whitehorse asked you.

“Ready to burst open and charge in like a trojan condom breaking on a night of poor decisions. I realized how terrible that sounded after i said it i am so sorry.” You say quickly Sharky and Hurk where keeled over laughing.

Whitehorse just shook his head in shame and put his head in his hand. “Take who you need, who wants to go. John is not to be taken lightly.” He sighed. “When this is all over though, peggies delt with and all. Comments like that are not allowed” he said sternly.

“I will keep them in my pants, with my sexual appetite.” You say as you put your hands up, Whitehorse sighed again . “We should go ask people at the spread eagle if they want to join. Those people have good reason to want to be involved.” Whitehorse nodded.

Everyone was standing in front of you listening, it seemed like all of Holland Valley turned out, word really spread fast in this town. “I myself am going, Sharky, a couple other resistance members. We could use more though. Our goal is to carry extra pistols on us, with out attracting to much attention. Give it to people taken, take the bunker. About half hour after we go in, if we can have an assault on the front of the bunkers doors from the top. It will help draw attention from us.”

“You realize this ends with bullets in your brother.” Nick stated he wasn’t trying to be a dick about it. You could see he was trying to be honest, in his way.

You take a deep breath in and nod. “Look, i dont want him dead, i will try to take him alive. But I understand thats not even close to the likely outcome, im not going to stop what needs to be done to stop this. It needs to stop.” You say firmly.

Nick nodded. “Im in.”

“Me to.” Grace added.

A few more people joined in for team break in and some people planed for the distraction assault. You got the feeling it might just work, but somehow that didn’t make you feel better about it. When everyone was getting ready to head out to go to the location to hide away pastor Jerome came over to you.

He put his hand on your shoulder and squeezed. “I have faith that you will do everything you can.” You could tell he was referring to John.

“I have a plan, I know plans don’t always go as.. Planned, but i have to try.” You say softly he gave you a warm smile and nod.”

“God will be with you.” He told you as he gave your shoulder another squeeze.

Everyone was waiting uncomfortably un the peggie clothes aways away from the supplies drop off point. The waiting for it to show up was painful, the waiting for pick up was probably gling to be worse.

“About how long does the supplies sit before pick up?” Grace asked Ted.

“About two, three hours.” He replied.

“Well, ive always wanted to stow away in storage containers and sit quietly for hours to storm a castle by surprise. Dream come true today.” You say enthusiastically abunch of blank faces just looked back.

“You realize this isnt a castle right?” Sharky asked.

You shhh him putting you finger on his lips and cup his face with your other hand. “Dont burst my bubble, we’re storming a castle like a bunch of badasses.”

“They’re coming.” Ted said he was watching through the binoculars. Everyone waited still and quietly as the cube truck stopped and some peggies got out and left. “Lets go, we got to empy them containers and put us in there without anyone noticing.”

Waiting inside the containers where infact way worse than waiting for them to show up. It was the silence that got to you the most no one could talk. Just in case you where overhead, it would blow the plan. It took what seemed like seven days and nights before the truck started moving again. You kept your eyes closed the whole time you where moving, trying to keep your heartbeat down and keep calm. This wasn’t the soft kind John you knew, he was nothing like that anymore. You had no idea how it was going to end or what was going to happen.

You didn’t want to hang around Faith’s region and deal with the bliss, and the Sheriff wanted you to try and contact the whitetails again. You tried to protest and argue to get out Hudson first but lost.

‘John is on a war path looking for you, no good can come from it right now. I cant be down two good people, im sorry i want her back to, but rushing it helps no one.’ He said before he sent you off.

You sigh deepy and look around, you had made enough noise liberating the lumber mill other resistance members had come and helped. It didn’t take long to overwhelm them and drive them out. Only a few minor wounds surprisingly from those fighting, it was the people who the peggies captured that needed more attention.

“You must be the famous deputy.” One of the resistance members said to you, she was young in her teens. But even then she looked like she could own you in a fight if it came down to it. She never missed a shot with her bow in the fight, she even light a few on fire. “The Whitetails have been following your actions since this started.” She said while adjusting the bow on her back.

“Good or bad?” You ask as you finish looking at the last person for medical treatment.

“We decided to help.”

“Fucking eh!” You say excitedly.

She raised her eyebrow at you. “When it comes to it, we will help you against Jacob. We wont send any people anywhere else until hes dealt with.”

You nod and she walked away, you knew dealt with ment killed. A few people left with her but most stayed behind to help hold the mill. You doubted Jacob was going to like look loosing this place it had lots of prisoners when you took it.

“Joanne, Joanne, Joanne.” His voice rang over the radio. A bunch of people around you jumped and you could see the fear on their faces from his voice alone.

You head over to the trees to not cause a panic. “Hello Jacob, sorry i had to leave in a hurry last time. After coffee with you, i thought maybe it was time for tea with the Sheriff.”

“Mmm, funny.” He replied calmly. “Did you ever think that it was to easy though? I wasn’t expecting you to take Peaches, and for your gaurd to leave his post. But I wasn’t to worried about you leaving, do you know why?”

You walk over to a tree and lean against it, confused. It was easy, they didn’t panic until Pratt was with you. They didn’t really care you where leaving, they cared he was. “Why?” You ask slowly.

“Because i know you will come back when i call.” He replied. “Only you, can make this world seem right.” He said into the radio. The song filled your mind, you could here the soft clicking from the music box. Your head started to hurt every thing swirled as it went dark.

You feel your mind bubble up quietly after a while You couldn’t open your eyes or move everything was so heavy.

“You have my word Jacob, i wont leave her until you come back.”

“Good.”

A door closed and you drifted back into the darkness. When you woke back up you could hear the radio playing, it wasn’t on the peggie station. Slowly you sit up and look around, there was lots of sunlight pouring through the window. So it was at least around midday, but it was around midday when you talked to Jacob... Has more than a day passed? If so just a day? You look around and see a curious peggie watching you drinking coffee.

“Afternoon.” He said cheerfully.

“How long have i been out?” You ask slowly.

“Couple of days, you went through another trial. Theres food in the kitchen, I would of made you something beforehand but i wasnt sure when you would be up. Im also a terrible cook and I didn’t want to poison you.”

“Your weirdly nice for a peggie.” You say slowly and he laughed.

“Call me Charlie, I’m Jacob’s right hand man. Tell you what, you call me Charlie in stead of peggie and i wont call you a filthy sinner.” He said as he winked at you.

Was he flirting? Or joking? Or serious? “Im sorry, im confused. Uh, you just dont seem like the typical peggie. No offence or anything but its always ‘Sinner’ this or ‘Father’ that with the occasional ‘Your unworthy of the families love’. So its just confusing. To see a normal... Person, dressed like a peggie?... Uh, Charlie” you say slowly.

“Most of Jacobs higher ups are loyal to Jacob before the cause. We could careless about sinners, theres a war coming, and we will be ready.” He said you nod unsure of the situation you where in. “Before you get out of bed I should tell you the rules. I go with you every where, you dont leave this cabin at all, or open windows. Im not going to help you clean or organize, you can have a steamy hot shower if you want.” He paused giving you a cheeky grin. “I wont touch you, harm you in any way. Unless, you break the rules. At which point my orders are to stop you as painfully as i can, without breaking bones, if it can be avoided. Thats more frowned upon than not allowed thing, breaking bones FYI.”

“Well thats, nice? I guess.” You say slowly. “So, wheres Jacob and why this... Cabin of all the places I could be. And why only one guy?”

“Only me in here because im that good sunshine.” He gave you a wink. “Would it surprise you to know theres a group of hand picked soldiers outside surrounding the cabin to? And, we are here instead of any other outpost because Jacob doesn’t want John or Joseph to know your here. As far as I understand anyways, but when he comes back you can ask him.” He said cheerfully.

“Thanks for being honest Charlie.” You say as you get up and look around some more. It was a small three bedroom cabin, every thing about it was small from the bedroom sizes that only had twin beds to the small kitchen. But it was better than that small room before the last place Jacob had you.

“You know, your like a way better looking version of Jacob, but like John sized.” Charlie said from behind you while you where pouring yourself coffee.

“So if im like the ultra good looking version does that mean you consider Jacob good looking?” You ask while giving him a smirk and taking a sip.

“First, i said way better, not ultra. Also, all the female ‘peggies’, as you call them throw themselves at his feet and pant over him, its hard to miss. All im saying is you look just like him, but as a female, and shorter, that makes you better lookin.” He gave you a small wink.

He was flirting! “Whats my brother going to say, if he finds out your flirting with me? And are you saying if Jacob was a female he would be attractive?”

“He will only care, if I touch you.” He said with a smile. “And also, ouch. I kinda did walk into that one didn’t it and if he looked like you, yes. I got to say, I certainly admire you, takes balls jumping in this mess and hit it running. I overheard John talk to Jacob, a critical intervention paramedic before this? Impresive.”

“What do you know about that?” You ask curiosly.

“Not a damn thing, im just a simple ex jarhead honestly. But it sounds impressive and im trying to win brownie points right now.” He said with a shrug and coy smile.

You couldn’t help but return it but go back to your coffee and taking in the surroundings and listening to the radio. You where trying to remember what you went through in the trials, all you could remember was walking. Your lack of knowledge of what happened bugged you.

It was late when Jacob came back he didn’t even say anything when he came in he just looked at Charlie and nodded to the door. Without a word Charlie got up and left and Jacob turned to you.

“You really pissed off John.” He said to you with a smirk.

“My bad. I got his people to clean up a bit though. Is he more mad i left, or that i took the plane?”

“Dont know.” He said with a shrug. “Probably both. I had more supplies brought to your bunker, at your house.”

You where completely taken off gaurd and surprised. “Ok.. Why?”

“We have all told you, its coming. One way or another i want to make sure your fallback is stocked.” He got came over to you. “Theres more to come, according to Joseph, before it happens. You would be better off, with us.” You shake your head and he chuckled softly. “You remind me of a medic i knew long ago, stubborn, but good. I have to go, my men are coming with me. You can go, do what you want. Until next time Joanne, one more trial.” He turned around and left.

You where speechless, why? He had you brought here, and had you watched over for a small chat and goodbye? Put more supplies in your bunker, how did he know it was yours? Was it yours he was at? You sigh deeply even more confused about this situation than earlier.

“So, i know its been said. I just need to hear it again.” You say from the back seat.

Sharky laughed hard and turned to face you from the passenger seat. “Yup, a cougar, named peaches. I shit you not that crazy old lady trained it to attack peggies.”

“A cougar? Fucking damn. And its trained?”

“Sure is, she has the prettiest eyes to! Ones blue the other is brown. And if you think thats cool, the fang center has a grizzly bear named Cheese Burger that will eat from your hand. He likes cheese burgers, but hes got diabetes now.” Hurk added in from the drivers seat. He pulled over and you got out.

“Sure about this dep, we can help you still.” Sharky said.

“Im good, I need to draw Faith out, find Burk. She apparently doesn’t hurt people, so im not in physical danger.” You say.

“Faith, is a different kind of scary! Just before this all happened i ran into her at the gas station. I just looked at her and then gave her twenty dollars. I don’t even know why, i just gave it to her. That bliss messes with your mind dep, it can get really bad.”

“I get that, but thats why we need to find Burk. Less time in crazy bliss land, then i need to get Hudson.”

“How you planning on finding her?” Hurk asked.

“Well i heard she talks to you when you come into contact with bliss, the more the high the more she talks to you sooo.... I was think I should go roll around in a bliss field and have a good time.” Sharky and Hurk both looked unconvinced of your plan. “Look i know its a stupid plan, but i need to know myself what im dealing with. Its not the best fall back that shes ‘adopted’ family, still not sure how that works for me? Or that she hasn’t really hurt anyone herself yet? But im going to give it a try, because i think the sooner we can stop this, the better.” They looked even less convinced.

“What if giving faith the slip is harder than giving your brothers the slip?” Hurk asked.

“Keep shaking peggie trees until another deputy falls out.” You say with a shrug.

“Ok. Same deal as last time one week. Then its peggie pain day.”

“Sounds like a plan! Im going to roll in bliss field over yonder.” You say as you nod towards the bliss flowers. They still looked unconvinced but nodded and started to pull drive away. They reminded you of two gay dads dropping their daughter off on a date. They knew it was a bad idea, but had they had to let you make that mistake by yourself. You head over to the flowers, they where very pretty, if they where not so druggy they would be garden worthy.

Grabbing a handful of flowers you kneel down and take a big breath in. Instantly you feel it hit, the world starting to flicker and move and you felt so light and happy. Like all your worries washed away and warm fuzzy feeling covered you like like liquid sunshine.

You hear a soft giggle “Thanks for coming to the bliss.” Faith said warmly as she took your hands and gave you a small kiss. “Ive been waiting for so long to meet you!” She helped you up and spun around in circles with you.

Everything was so beautiful. So many butterflies and jackalopes all around you it was so peaceful. “You seem so nice.” You say softly. “I don’t understand why you do this.”

She stopped and smiled warmly at you. “Im only trying to help people, im only trying to help you, Joanne.” She spread her arms out and wings sprouted from her back she flew up twirling. “We can all walk through Edens Gate together!” She said as she stopped a burst of butterflies butst out from around her and surrounded you.

“Call me JoJo.” You say while loosing your self with the butterflys they where so pretty you felt as though you where floating with them. Light and fluttery.

Faith came back and grabbed your hands. “Come with me!” She said warmly as she flew away with you. “I heard John started calling you JoJo when you where both little.” She her voice made you feel so happy, you wanted to listen to her talk it was so smooth and silky.

“He had problems saying ‘Joanne’ so he called me JoJo instead. For the longest time he was the only one to use it, then my adopted parents started to call me JoJo. I liked it, i like it more than Joanne. Mark use to joke around and call me Mojo Jojo” You say, it felt so good to think of them. “I like you Faith, maybe its the bliss maybe not. But i cant allow you to harm people with my brothers, i will work as hard to stop you to.”

Faith lost her smile for a second. “Im not harming anyone, im savings them. When the collapse comes they will be safe with me, to walk through Edens gate.” Her demeanor shifted down slightly. “Its ok to be scared, but we’re here for you!” She said gently. “Walk with us through Edens Gate.”

“I’ve never let my fear stop me from doing what I believe is right, I certainly don’t let it drive me either. Im not going to be a part of Edens Gate. But Faith, i can be here for you to. This doesn’t have to be your path either, we can on still be on the same path still. I just cant be on the one you’re on right now, innocent people are dying.” You say, Faith pulled back slightly letting you go. You hear another voice softly talking and look around and see Burk. He was shuffling around talking to himself there was so many butterflies around him. “Burk?”

He looked over to you. “I can see it now, we where wrong, so wrong.”

You start going over to him and Faith tried pulling you back. “Hes happy here, you can be to, join us.” She pleaded.

You moved so slow, you felt like you had cement shoes. Your whole body was fighting you as you tried to get to Burk, he was heading to white iron gates. Everything in your head screamed at you to get to him first.

“Stop it! Leave him alone, hes happy here.”

You ignored her and pushed your self harder you had to get to him, you had to stop him before the gate. “Burk, please.” You say as you get closer.

“Its coming, its coming. They are right, its coming.” He mumbled.

You pushed your self harder and reached out grabbing him just before the gates, you hear Faith scream at you. There was a green mist that exploded from around you both and the world went black.

When you came to you could hear lots of yelling and shuffling slowly you sit up, you where back at the jail. You could see a bunch of people around Burk, he had a gun. “You don’t understand” he pleaded. “Its coming, we shouldn’t of started it.” Hes eyes where searching everyone’s, he was trying to make a connection.

Shit, you think. Your head hurt, you felt nauseous and your body felt like a giant sand bag. You where in no condition to handle this, and you had seen that look, behaviour to many gimes before. “Burk.” You say softly. His eyes snapped to you. “I understand what you mean a bit. I mean, that stuff is great feels great, i want to live in it to. But its not good for us, its bad for our health.”

“Thats not what i mean.” He yelled as he pointed the gun at you. A few people had to move out of the way so it wasn’t pointed at them. “Its real, the collapse. They’re trying to save us. Im not safe here, none of us are.”

You put your hands up and slowly, a little bit slower than you wanted, bliss come down was painful. “Ok, talk to me about it.” You say softly, slowly getting up.

Burk shook his head, it looked like he started crying. “No.” He whispered. “You won’t understand.” Before anyone could react he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.

You felt like you where kicked in the chest and everyone was frozen in place. “Dammit.” Whitehorse whispered. “Alright, we did the best we could. Lets.... Lets clean this up and move on with it.” He said. Slowly everyone started moving again and he looked over to you. “You did good, you brought him back. That bliss, Faith. It got to him, theres a point where its to much, i need you to be careful out there.”

“I will be, i only went into the bliss to find him. I wont again, I promise.” You say as you close your eyes and slowly lay back down. “I think i need to sleep more of this off.” You say quietly.

“Take all the time you need rook.”

When you drive into Falls End you stop at the church first, it was a pretty little white church. When you went inside it was just pastor Jerome in there he was sitting in one of the fron pews holding the bible in his lap. You go over and sit next to him.

“May i ask for some religious guidance?” You ask quietly.

“Theres not much i can do these days, but I certainly can do that.” He said warmly.

“I want to protect as many people as i can, and i want to put everything i can into it. But after a encounter i just had with John..” You sigh deeply. “I want to stop them, but i dont know if i can be the one to stop them. Or that i can be there. I hate it. How can i fight to save people if i cant be prepared to... How can i kill my family.” You ask looking at him. “I jumped into this thinking I could do it, but it was like my brain was in shock, because now all i can think of....”

Jerome put his hand on yours and squeezed. “Its no doubt God put you here, to help us. That help, might not be killing your brothers, or help killing them. Maybe you help stop them in a different way. The good lord works in mysterious ways. I have faith in you doing the best that you can do, everyone does. Do what you can.” He said gently.

You nod softly “Thanks pastor, I should get to the bar before Sharky and Hurk decide to go back to the ranch early.”

“You’re doing Gods work deputy. Have as much faith in yourself, as you do with him.”

“You are a gift to this town pastor. When all this is settled i will be at every bake sale and Sunday service. I swear it.” You say with a smile.

“I like lemon squares and pies.”

“Pies, my baking enemy.” You laugh. “I will do it though, thanks.”

Jerome smiled and nodded. “Anytime. You always have a place to come back if you need it.”

You wave goodbye and head over to the spread eagle. There was a pink hue in the sky as the sun started to come up.

“Hey, hey its the deputy! You made the break in record time! I was second guessing my leavibg you for a weeknto!” A drunk Sharky yelled from the bar.

“All right dep! Your pretty bad ass aint cha? Breaking out of Jacobs and Johns places in less than two days. Man, you just like wonder women.” An equally drunk Hurk cheered from beside Sharky.

“Fixed a plane in Johns hanger. Stole said plane from John, turned out it was Nicks, retured plane, came here.” You say as you sit next to them.

“Free beer, free shot!” Mary May said as she laid them out in front of you. “Stealing a plane from John, that’s pretty bad ass.”

“Call me deputy mc bad ass.” You say as you raise your shot glass in a cheers Hurk, Sharky and Mary May raise theirs to and you all take the shot.

“I think its more deputy mc fine ass that specializes in badassery.” Sharky says while raising his beer

“I second that.” Hurk chimed in and raised his beer.

You shrug and raise yours to. “Deputy mc fine ass.” You say Sharky and Hurk chime in to. “You think Sheriff Whitehorse will get me a name tag with that.” Mary May laughed and shook her head no.

“Dep, man your friends must of been so bummed you moved.” Hurk said to you.

“No.” You say as you shake your head. “Im the work twelve hours sleep for a few go back to work type. I hung out and had a few buddies but not good friends.” You chug the rest of your beer.

“Who was it that died?” Mary May asked surprising you a bit she must of saw it because she gave you a smile and nod. “When you spend your life helping people drink their problems away you learn to read the problems. You dont have to answer, i was just curious.” She said warmly.

“His name was Mark, there was an accident, I tried to save him, but he died.” You say with a small smile. “Its why i chose saving lives as my career.”

“To the friends that shape us.” Mary May said as she poured herself and you a shot.

You raise you shot glass and Mary May clinks it with you. “Without fear, there is no courage, without courage, we can have no glory.” You say softly.

“Amen to that!” Mary May agreed.

“So whats the most against the law thing, you have EVER done, deputy?” Sharky asked.

“Well, that would be, setting a church, a school and police station on fire. All in the same 24 hour period.” You say Sharky’s face light up. “With good reason! Though it wasn’t a random spree of setting shit on fire, theres a reason for the madness! The principal and the pastor where exploiting kids, ones that no one would really listen to and believe. And there was a few cops covering what was believed up, so i set the building on fire after i sent everyone involved a letter.” You say as you peel the label off your empty beer bottle. “I found out and i wanted to stop it, so i did it the only way i knew how.” You shrug your shoulders “It was never proven i did it, so we moved to Canada after.”

“Thats bad ass right there.” Sharky said with a nod. “Most of my breaking the law stuff is arson to, but they where mostly accidents. Except for thar one time... That it, uh, wasn’t...”

Hurk started telling his adventures that he had when he traveled and it kind of surprised you that this must be like another Tuesday for him.
