Only You [Jacob Seed - Far Cry 5]

Chapter 20

Warning: language, violence, flirting, cult talk, etc.

As soon as we entered Jacob's cabin is when I felt like I could finally breathe a little bit. I fell down on the couch and I could feel this heavy weight on my shoulders. There was this bad feeling in my gut...

"Eric was in the church, right? That was Eric Smith? It's been a while since I've seen him."

"Yeah, Jake. If I ever see him again, I will knock his teeth in." I made a fist as my nails dug into my skin while I closed my eyes. "AHH! I'm gonna kill that motherfucker! We need to find out where he is! Now!" I screamed as I got up off the couch and paced back and forth in front of the coffee table.

"Stop. Stop. Axl. I'll send out a search party in the morning for him. You need to calm down." Jacob tried to reassure me as he held onto my arm. "Your hand is bleeding." He examined my palm and it was drenched in blood.

My fingernails made small crescent shaped cuts in my hand and they were deeper than I thought they were. I didn't even feel it.

"Come with me to the bathroom. Let's get you cleaned up." He stated as he took my other hand and dragged me toward the bathroom.

As soon as we made it in there, I sat on the sink while he took out a first aid kit. First, he wiped all the blood away with a damp washcloth. Then, he took some hydrogen peroxide and poured it on the wound; it didn't burn as bad as I thought it would. Next, he put some Neosporin on my palm where the cuts were to keep them from getting infected and speed up the healing process. Lastly, he wrapped my hand in a bandage.

"Are you going to kiss it to make it feel better?" I pouted with my bottom lip pooched out.

"Of course." Jacob brought my bandaged hand to his lips and then kissed my forehead, causing me to blush. "I always make you blush."

"Oh shut it." I giggled as I smacked his cheek in a playful way.

"Babygirl, you are gonna regret that." He chuckled as he lifted me up from the sink, wrapping my legs around his waist.

In the process, he pinched my buttcheeks and made me squeal as I jumped.

I laughed as he carried me toward the bedroom. Once opening the bedroom door and closing it, he laid me down on the bed, kissing my cheek.

"We should get some sleep. Big day tomorrow." Jacob suggested as he started stripping down to his boxers.

"I guess... Shit." I groaned as I sat up and took off all my clothes except my socks and panties.

"Who the fuck sleeps with socks on?" Jacob jokingly asked as he hopped into bed.

"Me."

"Psychopath."

"Whatever, ginger."

"Don't call me ginger."

"Don't call me ginger." I mocked him as I turned over onto my side, closing my eyes. "Goodnight."

"Yeah, yeah. Goodnight to you too."

—The Next Day—

I woke up and opened my eyes to the sun shining through the window. Glancing at the clock, it was 8:23AM. Looking beside of me, I realized Jacob wasn't in bed with me. He was probably at the Veteran's Center sending out a search party for Eric and let me sleep in. Lazily, I got up and stretched, making my back pop. I noticed a yellow sticky note on the nightstand and I went over to it and read it.

'I got up earlier than usual and headed to the Veteran's Center to send out a search party for that piece of shit. I let you sleep in. You can stay home if you want. Have an off day.
Jacob'

Jacob had such shit handwriting. Anyway, after re-bandaging my hand, using the bathroom and putting on some black jeans, black t-shirt, my blue jean jacket, and my usual boots, I crumpled the sticky note and placed it into the pocket of my jacket. I retrieved my hunting knife and placed it into its designated holster, also grabbing my glock and revolver from the nightstand and putting them in their holsters. It was 8:59AM as I walked out of our cabin, not without locking the front door first. Getting into my Jeep, I put it in drive and made my way to the Veteran's Center. Jacob knows I wasn't going to stay home.

Once reaching the Veteran's Center, I got out of my Jeep and quickly made my way to Jacob's office. In a few minutes, I was in front of his office. Yelling could be heard from inside as I knocked on the door. All yelling stopped as I heard Jacob's voice.

"Get the damn door." He grumbled as someone shuffled toward the door.

A Chosen unlocked the door and opened it. Brady was the Chosen that opened the door as he greeted me with a nervous smile. "Come on in, Ms. Johnson."

I grinned at him as I walked over to Jacob, "Axl."

"Right. I'm sorry." He apologized as he shut the door.

"I told you to stay home. It's too dangerous for you to be wondering about while that prick is probably planning God knows what." Jacob explained rather harshly as he shook the file in his hands, slamming it shut and throwing it on his desk.

"Damnit Jacob, I can take care of myself! I was in the army. And I saved your ass a few times, so, give me some fucking credit." I growled as we were eye-to-eye... well, I had to look up at him, but still. "Did you send out the motherfucking search party?"

"Yeah, I did. At six o' clock this morning and they haven't seen a damn thing." Jacob hissed as he stalked back to his desk and fell down on his swivel chair.

"Well, I'm gonna fucking go look for him. I'll come back in a few hours." I stated as I turned around and headed for the door.

By the time I was at the door, Jacob was already grabbing ahold of my waist. "I am NOT letting you go out there!"

"Jacob, when I was in the army, how many soldiers did I kill?! When I was the Deputy, how many of your Chosen did I ruthlessly murder without getting a scrape, huh?! I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE! But ya know what, damnit, it's a whole lot more than I can fucking count. I'm not going to let you stop me, Seed." I tried to get out of his grip, but it was like his hands were made of iron; I knew I wouldn't be going anywhere until he let go.

"Okay, okay. Fine. Just look at me, Axl." Jacob ordered as he turned me around and placed my back against the door. Then, he stared deeply into my eyes. "Be careful. You better be back by one o' clock sharp, you hear me?"

"Alright. I'll be fine." I chuckled as I put my hand on his cheek. "I'll be back before you know it... with Eric dead in my arms."

"He better be. If you're not here by one, I'll come looking for you." Jacob said sternly.

"I know. I'll just be nearby, I won't go far... I need to go now."

"Fine. Just promise me you'll be safe." He gave a small smile as he kissed my forehead while his beard tickled my nose, the both of us forgetting Brady was even in the room.

"I promise."
