Say Yes [John Seed - Far Cry 5]

Chapter 12

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

***

All of us hopped out of the truck once John put it in park and turned the vehicle off; soon, the other cultists in their vans pulled up behind us. I took a deep breath as I gazed up at the church, beginning to have a panic attack. It was becoming harder and harder to breathe and John came up behind me, rubbing my back and handed me my signature glock for protection.

"Calm down, Rory. We'll be fine, I promise you that. I won't let anything happen to you." John vowed as he took my hands in his. "I should've given you your gun back earlier, but... keep this ready just in case."

"Yeah." I nodded my head, averting my eyes from Jerome's church, gripping my glock.

"Come on." The Baptist wrapped his arm around my waist and led me inside the church.

Once we made it inside, Peggies already had Grace, Mary, and Pastor hostage with guns to their heads. They were all shocked to see me.

"Rory?!" Grace yelled, surprised to see me here. "What the fuck are you doing with that prick?!"

"Get out of here, Aurora. Please. Save yourself." Jerome spoke gently from the altar.

"Where's your goddamn dad?!" Mary shouted at me. "We need help here, Rory."

I ignored them as John walked me further into the church until we reached Jerome with a gun to his head.

"You are selfish and misguided, Jerome. If you were a true man of God, your people wouldn't have left you in the first place." John scowled at Pastor Jerome. "You will still Confess your sins because this is the will of the Father."

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain... 'For I know the plans that I have made for you.' declared the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Pastor Jerome vocalized as he looked at the Baptist. "When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations... then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them... and show them no mercy. I don't claim to know God's plans, but... I know that this is where I'm supposed to be... It's where God wanted me to be. I'm just glad the Lord pointed me in the right direction... And maybe, He'll give me the strength to stop you."

John was clearly taken aback by Pastor Jerome, but hid his shock well. "Sucks to be you, Jerome. I already know God's plans... Let's get this party started. The Deputy should be here any moment... Wesley, stand behind the door and when the heretic shows up, knock him out. I'm going to teach him a lesson."

Wesley, one of the Peggies, nodded as he stood behind the church's front doors, awaiting Corey's arrival.

"What the hell is that on your neck?" Mary May questioned from afar, squinting her eyes in an attempt to somehow get a better view of my neck. "Are those what I think they are?"

"Fuck off, Mary." I growled, not even sparing the woman a glance.

"When your daddy gets here, he'll raise cain." Mary stated as she struggled against the cultist.

"John's already here." I smirked at her as John laughed.

Mary's jaw dropped at that remark. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, looks like we're not the only sinners here, Jerome and Grace. Looks like John and Rory fucked last night. The both of you need to Atone too! Ha!" She taunted. "Rory, I can't believe you're such a whor—"

"HEY! YOU DON'T FUCKING CALL HER THAT, MARY! YOU'RE THE FUCKING WHORE!" John screamed as he quickly made his way over to Mary; he towered over her and her eyes went wide. "Say it again, damnit. I dare you."

All of a sudden, Corey busted into the church and in an instant, Wesley slammed the butt of his gun in the Deputy's face, causing him to pass out and drop to the ground. My dad was right behind Corey and had his gun aimed at John.

"Dad! No!"
