Demon Dogs 🔥

Prologue:

“Dahlia, run. Save yourself!” I was terrified, I didn’t want to leave Sam behind, looking between her, Richtofen and our father, I begin to panic.

“Dahlia, go!” Sam screamed as she’s put on the teleporter, tears stream down my face and I shut my eyes tightly before turning on my heel and running away from Sam and our father.

I wake up suddenly, covered in sweat. Another nightmare, great. That night will also haunt me, I feel like I’m to blame for Sam disappearing in thin air. Will I ever see her again? God I hope so. I sigh, getting up from the bed and heading to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I check my phone notifications as I do so.

Nothing as usual. Taking a sip of water I let out another sigh. It’s tedious, going around in circles, no new information on Sam or her whereabouts. Or so I thought. An email notification pops up from someone unknown but the subject is CIA - I frown slightly before opening it.

There was all sorts of information in the email even attachments added of documents, the CIA was recently involved in the disappearance of my sister. I clench my phone tighter, more from anger that I was only just finding out this now.

My eyes flicker over the screen, taking in every little detail and information in the email. I take another sip of water before tipping the rest down the sink, my focus still on reading. Samantha is believed to be stuck in the Aether. Aether? What the hell was that? I locked my phone before heading back upstairs to the bedroom and sat at the desk, where all my files and documents were sprawled out.

Nothing here is mentioned whatever this Aether thing was. Maybe I was missing something? My eyes flicker over the files to double check I didn’t miss anything. My eyes then become fixed on one page more a certain name on the page. Edward Richtofen. There was no way that I was reading it right. Right?

*********

Most of the time I was working alone, doing my own little missions. Though I was taking the biggest risk in joining the CIA, I wasn’t a US citizen at least not officially. My routes have always been German even now. Why would I want to change it now?

I was planning on faking part of my identity to get where I wanted. Not my brightest idea but I needed to know the whereabouts of Sam. I needed to know if she’s alive and find out about more about this Aether thing that keeps popping up more and more.

I place my phone on charge before grabbing the box dye from the dresser and heading into the bathroom. If I was going to do this then I might as well go all out. I dye my hair my blonde, eventually washing it out in the shower. After my shower I stood in front of the mirror, leaning on the sink as I stare at my reflection in the mirror.

The same tired green eyes stare back at me. I sigh, taking my medication to hopefully prevent any more nightmares from happening. I take one last look in the mirror before pushing myself forward, I had to do this, for Sam.

Does she even know I’m alive? Is she even alive herself? Maybe she thinks I gave up on her, or thinks I’m dead herself. My mind races through every possible thought as throw clean clothes on and dry my hair.

Don’t worry Sam, I’m coming for you..

Bunny [Simon Riley] - Long Wait

Why was it taking so long? Maybe I'm worrying too much over it. 

I took a shot in the dark and inquired about joining SAS and now it's just a waiting game here. I pace back and forth anxiously as I wait for a reply. I guess you could say waiting to hear back from John wasn't helping. I haven't heard from him for several weeks and there are still 4 months left of it like this. Sometimes I get a text once in a blue moon, usually a photo, a selfie of his stupid face. There is nothing else with them, just pictures.

After a few minutes, I hear my phone ping. I just jumped up from where I was sitting and grabbed my phone. I don't even hesitate when it comes to opening the email with the response. Hell, I don't even know if it was the email I was waiting for, I just opened up an email without even looking properly..

'Miss Miles,  Your application has been accepted!'

They were the first few words I had read; honestly, I couldn't believe what I had read. We were accepted! I can't tell Mactavish, not yet. We are going to keep this one. I continued to read the rest of the email. 'We'll contact you soon with dates for your medical and training' Again it was another waiting game but I was willing to wait for this because it would be worth it. 

Honestly, it was a breath of fresh air, I had enough of the job I was currently working and I can now focus on my new career path. I am not going to lie it wasn't something I would usually go for but I was up for the challenge. Maybe it will change me as a whole person, though.

*****************************

I was suddenly awoken sharply, my breathing was heavy and I was head to toe covered in sweat. I try to control my breathing as I slowly lay back on the bed again. Fuck not this shit again..  I get up from the bed, running a hand through my hair with a slight sigh before I push to my feet and head downstairs to grab a glass of water from the kitchen. 

My bare feet contact the cold kitchen-tiled floor as I head towards the cupboard to grab a glass before turning on my heel to the sink and letting the cold water run for a few minutes. I fill the glass before turning the tap off and leaning against the counter as take small sips from the glass. God damn nightmares. They never stop, and never get easier either. I'm just hoping that this new career change will ease them, maybe even prevent them for a while.

I grab my phone from the side and soon the screen lights my face up. I head to contacts, hovering over Johnny's name. I sigh before hitting call, call trills greet me before I'm then hit with his voicemail. I sigh and end the call, placing my phone on the side. I know he's busy and won't be able to call all of the time but I hate it, I hate every second of it. God, I shouldn't rely on him so much because look at me, I can't do anything without him. I might be lying, a little. I can function without him just it makes nights like this easier to pass when he's here. 

I take another sip of water before tipping the rest away. I leave the glass in the sink before I head back upstairs again to try and get some sleep again..

******************

The sun is peeking through the curtains, causing me to blink a few times to adjust to the sunlight outside. I yawn before I push to my feet and open the curtains again. I go to let out a long sigh but get cut off by my phone buzzing. I frown slightly as I head towards the bedside table and grab my phone. 'Miss Miles, you're physical and health test is tomorrow at 11 am at the..' I felt my heart jump almost out of my chest, I had been given it a lot quicker than expected. I mean it's been a few days since I applied but I wasn't expecting it to be so soon. 

I quickly make a note of the time and then add the location to my calendar. Wait, I frown slightly as I look at the location. at a base? Surely that's not right, they aren't held at the bases, are they? I decide to shrug it off and focus on getting myself ready for the day, I have a shift at work and probably the best time to hand my notice in. 

************

"Gem, I'm sorry the reception has been shite 'ere" I just sigh and nod accepting it because I knew all this anyway, I choose to forget it all every time he gets deployed. "Johnny it's okay, I knew that was the case when you were getting deployed. I'm used to it. don't worry" I kinda zone out thinking about my test, I want to share my excitement but I know how Johnny will react to it so I keep it contained for now. "How's things been anyway? I hope you're looking after yourself" I giggle slightly at his comment because he knows me too well at this point but I also know he is concerned after that last scare. "I'm holding up fine, I'm not dead yet" I hear him chuckle slightly followed by a scoff. "you cannae say things like 'at lass. You know I'm very concerned about you" I nod slowly hearing his words come through the speakerphone. 

"I know I got it, tryna lighten the mood" I scoff slightly, rolling my eyes. "Don't you dare roll ye eyes at me, princess" I frown slightly. "How did you even know I did?" Mactavish laughs on the other end of the phone. "I know ye better than anyone, you know it" I shake my head as I slightly nod in agreement. "God I hate that you know me too well, sometimes a little too well. So..I handed my notice in today at work" The line goes silent and I'm just waiting for him to tear into me but he doesn't.

"You found a new job?" Deep down I wanted to say yes and tell him all about it but I have to keep it under wraps for now. "Yeah something like that, I applied for a new position elsewhere" I bite my lip slightly before waiting for his response if there was one to follow. "I'm proud of you, I've been telling you to switch jobs for years now" I smile at the phone screen as I hear his words. "I know it should have happened sooner but my stubborn ass wouldn't do it" We both exchange a laugh over the phone because we both knew how stubborn I could be. 

"Stubborn isn't even the word. You're a wee shite to deal with" I scoff slightly, slightly offended by what he just said. "Hey watch that mouth of yours!" I hear him chuckle, "Or what? You going to face fuck me?" I can't believe this man. "Fuck you Mactavish" I scoff as I snap back but my god my weakness was staying mad at this man. I mean I can't lie if he was hear I probably would face fuck him. "You can fuck me anytime, lass. Ye know that" I feel the heat in my cheeks rise as I hear this, I knew there was a big truth in what he had just said. 

"Trust me if you were here, I would. How's things there?" I change the subject because I don't want to keep these steamy thoughts in my head. I know it would be torture for both of us despite our sexting over the phone. Not being able to touch and feel each other would drive us mad. Anyone in our situation would go mad too. "Aye, the same old shite. I cannae wait to come home to you, princess" I feel my heart break slightly hearing the words. Is everything okay there? Why do I feel like there is something wrong? No, Gemma don't overthink!

"Everything okay?" I quietly say I know how hard it is to get him to open up about work because he didn't see me as someone who would understand where he is coming from because I haven't been there and witnessed half of the shit he did on the field. "Aye, don't worry about me lass. I am coming home to you okay? That is my promise tae ye" I nod as I hear his words, I know it was going to be something along these lines. "I know. I know Johnny" I quietly reply not wanting to press the issue further even though I want to deep down but I also know it shuts him down and then I get nothing out of him.

"I gotta go, princess. I will text and call you when I can, yeah?" I knew that I wasn't going to hear from him again. At least for some time, the same old schedule every time he is deployed. "Yeah, that's fine. Come home in one piece, please?" I hear him chuckle slightly. "I will cum in you when I'm home but I promise you will get me home in one piece" Typical comedic comment before he goes, an attempt to keep the mood light so no one worries. "Behave, talk later Mactavish" We exchange our goodbyes before the call ends. 

I stare at the blank black screen now. I didn't want him to go but I also knew that he was needed, I mean he's a part of the Task Force of the British Army, SAS to be specific. Though I know he has also said that in the past to get rid of me. I will never know what it is anymore. I sigh as I stare up at the ceiling of my bedroom, I should be used to all of this attitude switching and all but it always stings every time as if it was the first time I'm witnessing it. 

My mind begins to race through everything and for some reason, I feel like it's slowly slipping into a depressive episode. Something I haven't had for years. I push those thoughts away by heading down to the kitchen and pouring myself a glass of wine. I shouldn't use it as a coping method but I did. I mean I could go back to my old ways and use any random man for night looking for the same thing but the agreement with Johnny stops me. 

I mean we did establish seeing others on the side too but Mactavish is a little possessive over me. So it doesn't happen with anyone else but him. Shit, he's not even here now so why is it bothering me, maybe I should find someone else for the night to ease the pain and trauma from the past. Nah, I don't want to be unsatisfied for the night like many moons ago. Faking orgasms isn't the proudest thing I've ever done but some of the men I've been with. I kinda have no choice, I mean the majority of them sucked in bed so I had to make them feel good about themselves by making them think they could get a woman off. 

I sigh as I sit on the kitchen counter, sipping on my wine. I enjoyed my own company anyway, I kinda always used to label myself as a lone wolf because I always did everything alone and by myself and still strived to survive. I think it kicked more when I was younger and lived on the streets, not sleeping, eating or drinking because I didn't feel safe to close an eye to sleep or turn my back because there were a lot of dangers out there..

Bunny [Simon Riley] - Prologue

Sergeant Gemma Miles AKA Widow. It still sounds weird to me. I wanted to make our country proud and join the SAS force. I admired one of their members and that was John Price. I guess we better slow down and not get ahead of ourselves here! I haven't even put an application through or even looked into it more despite wanting to change my career and do something good for the world. 

"Is there no way I can convince you to stay a little longer?" I pout as I try and beg the blue-eyed Scotsman standing in front of me. "I wish I could darlin' but I need to pack for deployment tomorrow. You will 'ave to wait to behave and wait a wee while before I can tend to her needs again." Johnny winks at me which I ain't going to lie, it does make my knees weak but then again it's probably her that's controlling my feelings after what we had just done. "But you know 7 months is a long time for her to wait" I continue to pout as I clench the bed sheets to my chest. I watch as John gathers his belongings before doing up his belt.

He chuckles before leaning across the bed, closing the gap between our faces. "You can do it, princess" His face lights up with his beautiful smile before leaning in more to kiss me. DTR? I don't even know myself, I mean I do. We're best friends but we're also friends with benefits because it works out better for us. No strings attached.

Bunny [Simon Riley] - Obey

It's not even been 24hrs and I already miss him. Not sexually as we started as close friends. Probably the only friend I have, work was hectic and I just needed to take a break and speak to a friend. Maybe I should call him? No, he's probably not long gone to base. I'll text him. 

'Missing you ♡'

I press send and put my phone back in my pocket before heading back inside. I work through the rest of my shift. I pray that the rest of the day passes quickly.

****************** 

I was so glad to have finished my shift and gotten home. I grab my belongings from the staff room before beginning my route back home. I grab my phone from my pocket as I check my notifications.  I hadn't seen anything from Johnny, my heart sank a little and I started to feel lonely. However, as I look through the notifications, I end up spotting his response;

'Missing you too, princess ♡'

A small smile creeps across my face. I was so determined to find his response that I walked straight past my house. "Every single time!" I mumble to myself before I turn around and walk down the path slightly before I start to walk up the steps to my apartment. Once finally home, I throw my work stuff to the side before heading to the bedroom to change into something more comfortable. 

Whilst scrambling to find something to wear my phone starts to ring, I sigh before quickly throwing my hoodie on. I scramble to find my phone before seeing it's a video call from Mactavish. "Ah, there she is!" His thick Scottish accent bellows through the phone speakers. I can't help but smile upon seeing his stupid face light up my screen. "I was just about to call you," I say as I readjust myself on my bed as John messes around with his colleagues. "Aye, gimme a sec!" I nod to accept his comment as I just sit here watching boys being boys as usual. 

"Mactavish got a girlfriend?"

"Someone's tripping"

"Alright, yous can get tae fuck!"

I couldn't help but laugh at the comments. I think what made it so much better was his response. After a few minutes, it was just the two of us, as he had relocated into his room for more privacy. "I'm glad you found that funny" I laugh at his comment before shrugging. "Oh come on, lighten up Mactavish. I needed a good laugh after the day I've just had" "Alright, I'll let you aff" John then repositions to only a position that he knows has a certain effect on me. "Hey, that's not fair Johnny" A small smirk appears on his face before he reaches out for something. 

"You know I don't play fair by now. Just be a good girl for me, princess" He winks before he takes a bite from his apple. I roll my eyes before focusing my attention on ordering food. I was not going to let him win. 

After about 20 minutes, my food arrived, I propped my phone up on the counter as I sorted out my food. "Remember I'm going to be limited to how often I can access ma phone-" "I know we have done this drill before" We both exchange smiles before letting out a small laugh. "You'll have to take in every feature of ma face or take a photo" His blue eyes pierce through my soul just before he winks. "I think I have enough pictures of your stupid face" I smirk before taking a bite out of my food and leaning against the counter. "Aye, you mean like this one?" I scoff thinking that I'm going to be sent one of the many selfies we have. 

My phone pinged with the notification, though upon opening the notification, I instantly coughed almost choking. "Oh my god! you nearly killed me! Why have you even got that?! I told you to delete it years ago!" John just laughs, not realizing how serious the whole situation is. "Naw, ye know that you love it! But ye know -" He stops to take another bite. I can't believe this guy. Awaiting his reply, I roll my eyes. "You look so much better on that counter than leaning against it" Honestly can't believe him. I feel the heat in my cheeks rises, all I hear is him slightly. Probably has seen my cheeks turn red. 

"You're an asshole" I scoff before finishing my food and then tidying up. "That's naw what you were saying 24 hours ago" We are not giving in. We can do this Georgia. "Get on the counter, princess" I looked at my phone screen with a slight frown along with a raised brow. "No, I'm not falling for this Mactavish" I pick up my phone before walking over to the table and sitting down. I open up my laptop before propping my phone up. 

"Princess"

"Johnny"

"I wasn't asking" You could see the lust but also anger in his eyes. I was just about to say something before John revealed his throbbing cock on camera. I was lost for words, and a small moan escaped my lips "Don't please" it came out in an almost whisper. "Ye didnae want to obey now you've got tae watch" No he's not punishing me I hate when he does that but now over the phone, he's punishing but teasing me. I bite my lip to contain myself but also any moans that may escape. He starts to rub his hand up & down his cock. Hearing the small moans & grunts he was making was enough. 

I caught a glimpse of his pre-cum leaking out of the head of his tip. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to slip my hand into my trousers and slip further down into my underwear. "Naw princess, hands where I can see them" I just about got to feel how wet I had become before groaning in annoyance as we had been denied access. "Johnny, please" I pout as I beg for his permission to finish her off. The tension was getting unbearable at this point. 

He begins to pick up the pace, breathing is getting more rugged and heavier. Nothing is said, just the sound of him panting and moaning fills the air. I bite my lip harder to contain a moan. Hearing John being all hot and breathless was making me wetter and my knees weak too. "Oh god, I wish I was deep inside you right now" John pants through the phone. I became an ocean within seconds, I hate him for this. I grab the sides of my chair as I use every little bit of my strength to remain composed right now. 

*************************

My mind drifts back to the video call me and John had a few days ago. I can't believe that man. I try to shake off the thoughts from my brain. I was currently looking into joining the army, I never discussed it with John and I just know he's going to be annoyed with me but at the moment I don't care. I sat staring at the screen of my laptop, I still sat on the application page for the SAS. Why can't I bring myself to just apply, there's no harm, right?

I decide to fill out the application form. It was nerve-wracking, I'm not going to lie but I did it after a good 10 minutes of going through it all at a steady pace before finally pressing that submit button.  It was just a waiting game now and I feel like that's the worst part. Crap! how on earth was I going to reveal this to John? Shit! No, keep calm, we're not going to say anything to him just yet, we haven't even had a response back. Let's just wait until we hear back then go from there. 

I look down at my phone checking my notifications, slight worry takes over me as I haven't heard anything from him but I also know that the connection isn't great. I sigh as I unlock my phone and open up our text thread. As much as he was a complete dork I did miss Mactavish.

"Hey..I know you're busy with this mission but I hope everything is okay there. I haven't heard from you in a few days just checking up on you. I miss you.. ♡"

Should I start to worry? No, that's stupid because you have done this so many other times before and know how this works. He's a soldier and out on deployment like that's his job. Ugh, I need to find a life outside of Mactavish. Though the problem is, I don't have anyone else, it's been like that for as long as I can remember and I guess I was just happy to have met John. Yeah didn't meet in the most normal setting. It was only meant to be a no-strings-attached, one-night thing but years later..

God, I remember the first night we met like it was yesterday. Now we're the best of friends and sometimes inseparable. Not quite, I can't stand him and his annoying ass! God, I don't even know how he managed to befriend me because I hate people. No lie, maybe it was the sex? No, that would make me look..desperate? 

Maybe it was his stupidly handsome face with those ocean-blue eyes and his stupid Scottish accent. You know what, it makes it seem like I like the dork more than just friends and that is not the case. Just friends..with benefits. 

I mean don't get me wrong he is a very good-looking man and any girl would be lucky to have him. I just don't trust anyone like I used to in the past so I have major trust issues which means I will never let anyone get close to me again. Why you may ask? it's a long story but I maybe just maybe might tell you later on. I don't like talking about it and prefer not to open up either. The guard is always up because I can't take the risks anymore. 

*********************

I was replying to a work email on my phone while watching a film when a notification popped up at the top of my screen. He finally replied. A wave of relief washes over me. He's okay.

'Hey princess, I'm okay. Sorry I didnae text ya back sooner. You know how these things are. Don't worry I'm in one piece for you ♡'

I couldn't help but smile at his response but I rolled my eyes at his response also because even when he is trying to sound like he cares it also comes across as him being the biggest jerk too. I miss him so badly right now. I need the company and I don't have anyone else that I'm just that comfortable being around like Mactavish. Maybe it's because I don't like being around people or like showing any emotions or it's my trust issues. God I don't even know how John has put up with me for so long. I am the most complicated person he's probably met. 

Me? Worry about you? Johnny you know me better than that, I'm fine, I don't need to worry about you. Hell I don't care if you took a year to reply back to me.

I replied to him shortly after. I switched back to the email app I was on and continued to finish the email I was writing out for work. I can just imagine the response I will get back from him when he eventually does reply back. If I had to guess it would be something along the lines of me actually caring and worrying about only him and no one else because I'm not that heartless because somehow John knows me best and deep down I have a heart somewhere and one day he will bring it out..
