Say Yes [John Seed - Far Cry 5]

Chapter 14

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

"Go on, GO!" Pastor Jerome yelled at Corey after he missed as he tried to reload the revolver.

I pulled John to his feet and he quickly lifted me up bridal style, doing his best to protect me while Wesley and another cultist guarded the Baptist and I. As fast as we could, we darted out of the church. I glanced at my dad tied up on the floor, but I knew he'd be alright. He was just angry.

"Get Rory and John to his ranch! Move!" One of the Peggies shouted, aiming his AR at Mary May, but she shoved him into one of the pews.

"I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU, JOHN SEED!" My dad screamed as he fought against the rope that bound him together. "GODDAMNIT! YOU'RE GONNA PAY!"

John gently and quickly placed me into the passenger seat of the truck while he got in the driver's seat. Once Wesley and a few other cultists hopped in the back, the Baptist floored it to his ranch.

"John..."

"Yes, honey?" John's grip on the steering wheel tightened as his knuckles turned white.

"They're going to come for you." I began tearing up. "My d-dad wants t-t-to kill you."

"I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe."

"No, John." Tears began cascading down my cheeks. "I can't lose you." My voice cracked as I stared up at the Baptist.

John glanced at me, "Listen to me. I'll be fine, Rory. Jason, Brandon, and Wesley are going to take you to Jacob. You'll be safest with my brother. I know he'll be able to protect you. He can protect you better than I can."

"But—"

"No ifs, ands, or buts."

"What if—"

"No arguing."

"John—"

"It's final, Rory!" The youngest Seed brother yelled, cutting me off as he punched his steering wheel as he pushed on the gas harder; the truck lurched forward, nearing ninety-seven miles per hour. "I never wanted it to be this way either, damnit."

I crossed my arms, turned my head away from him, and gazed out the window, refusing to say anything else or even look at him. The beautiful skies of Montana were an incredible, vivid shade of blue, causing the clouds to look very white and fluffy.

"Come on... Say something." John pleaded as we neared his ranch. "Look, Rory... I'm sorry. I'm just stressed right now."

I nodded my head, not sparing him a glance.

A few minutes passed and the Baptist huffed as he pulled up to his ranch. "We gotta go our separate ways."

"What are our other options?"

"I'm afraid there is no other choice here." John put the vehicle in park and the two of us quickly got out while the three cultists stayed in the bed of the truck; my lover came around to my side and grabbed ahold of my hips. "I will be back before you can even blink." He kissed the top of my head.

"You fucking better." I replied as tears filled my eyes once again; my vision became blurrier in a matter of seconds.

The youngest Seed brother nodded, looking down at me and biting his lip. "This isn't a goodbye, darling, this is a see you later."

"Y-Yeah..." My voice cracked, "See you later." I stared into his ocean blue eyes one last time before he left me.

He let go of my hips and turned around, sprinting to his plane as Mary May and Corey pulled up in a Jeep with a mounted gun.

I hopped in John's truck's passenger side as Wesley hurriedly got in the driver's seat with Brandon and Jason in the back. Wesley floored it as we made our way to Jacob's bunker.

Corey jumped out of the Jeep's mounted gun and darted to the spare plane outside of John's hangar as Mary May attempted to gun down some of the cultists guarding John's ranch. She was honestly a terrible shot.

John was already up in the air, a long way away as the Deputy was getting in the spare plane. In an instant, the Affirmation resembled a speck of dust as Wesley drove to the oldest Seed brother's bunker.

I hope John makes it out of this fight alive...
