Nightmare County (Reader x Seed brothers)

Chapter 14: Back In Custody

      "Now, we can do this two ways, you get out of the car and come with me to the bunker or you stay in the car and I blow it to smithereens, your choice." John had the same condescending voice he had when you were stuck in his bunker. You sigh as you exit the car, your hands high up in the air showing you had no weapons on you. "See I knew you were smart. Alright boys, let's bring her back." You watch as John claps his hands together and two of the men approach you. But as soon as they got close you quickly reached back pulling out a pistol and shot both of them down before retreating to the back of the car you were in taking cover from the many bullets.

     "Oh come on I was so nice to you, I gave you everything and you had to ruin it. This could have all been avoided if you just listened to me and patrolled." John started getting irritated with you. You didn't want to join his stupid army for the cult and you were going to make sure you were going to leave Hope's County and alert the police about all of this. John was clearly there to prevent you from that no matter what it takes. The other men slowly started going to you with their guns in hand creeping around the car thinking you were distracted by John's bickering through the speaker. Each time one of the men turned the corner where you were camping out they got a bullet in the head from your pistol.

      Thanks to John's training you were actually really skilled now when it comes to stuff like this. You knew your way around the pistol like it was as if you were playing a video game. You made sure to only aim for the head of whatever men that appeared around the corners of where you were to conserve the little ammo you had. This had gone to the point where it was just you and John now. All of the other men had their bodies piled on both sides of the car.

     John had to admire how skilled you were before deciding to take action. He had to come up with some way to get you to turn the other way just long enough for him to get to you. That's where an idea struck him.

     After not hearing anything for the longest time you hear something clink behind you and you quickly turn holding your pistol shakily ready to shoot. Before you could do or say anything you were grabbed from the back and held against someone. It was John as he held you close to him using one arm to restrain your biceps to your side. His other arm went around your throat like a chokehold. You were struggling a bit freaking out as the bottom part of your arms began to flail around with the pistol still in one hand.

      "I gave you a chance. Many in fact, but sinners like you never change." John says adding more pressure to your throat as he holds you tighter. You had to mentally calm yourself in this situation as you stopped flailing. Your eyes darted all around you as you tried your best to think of a way out of this. "But I still have hope for you. You only want to leave because you think you'll be able to leave. Will it help if I told you that you will never leave this place no matter how hard you will try, god has fated you to Hope's county he has fated you to m-"

     John was stopped mid sentence as he felt the impact of the pistol you held hit the side of his face causing him to flinch and let go of you. You had quickly shoved him back, ripping the pistol in his hand and throwing it off to the side before kicking the pistol you threw at him that landed on the ground away from him. John had turned around looking back at you.

     "Did you just throw your pistol at my face?" John asks, a little shocked, holding his face. You nod huffing lightly since you were literally just being choked by him. You were on high alert of this man as you backed up each time he stepped forward. It was almost like a deja vu moment for you two as you both recollected the time when John "baptized" you.

     "I am going to leave, and once I do I'm going to tell everyone I know about all this." You manage to let out as you huff deeply. "I don't want to ever see you again."

     "Listen I know we had our hardships but when will you learn that what I'm doing is for the best for you. I will help you make it past the reckoning and into Eden's Gate not only that but I listen to your struggles, I know what you're going through. If you leave your siblings won't treat you any differently. I can make you feel special. I even gave you a special sin." John says, trying to reason with you as he slowly makes his way to you trying to reach your soft side. You shake your head backing up. You weren't going to trust someone like him.

     Your back soon hit something solid behind you and you assume it was a tree. You instinctively turned around thinking it was a tree and before you could react you had gotten smacked in the side of the head by whoever you had bumped into causing you to fall to the ground and pass out.

     "Oh Jacob what are you doing here?" John says watching as your body goes limp onto the ground. If he didn't know any better he would have assumed Jacob had slapped your soul out of your body. But he still saw your body move lightly up and down showing that you were at least breathing.

     "Technically you're in the Whitetail mountains." Jacob says, looking at his younger brother. "I was watching for a bit."

     "You were?" John says nervously looking at his brother. "Well now that you manage to get (y/n) down, I will be taking her back to the bunker. This time I will make sure she will find no way out." Jacob held a hand up to stop John from even moving a muscle.

     "That won't be necessary brother." Jacob says, "I will be taking (y/n), I see some potential in her for my soldiers."

     "Wait what?" John questions looking at Jacob. "But Joseph said that she had to atone. I'm supposed to make her atone for her sins."

     "And you will in due time. But from the looks of it now brother, you need help on keeping her to sit still. If I take her in and rough her up a little bit she will be as well behaved as a dog. I'll bring her back for atonement once I finish." Jacob tries to reason with his brother.

     "Joseph said that I had to make her atone, she's supposed to be with me!" John exclaims, a little agitated by his brother taking you. "You may be older but I have grown up." Jacob grabs John by the shoulders.

     "I don't know if you didn't get the news from Joseph, but he said that if given the chance I could take her. As requested from her friend Ayla. I see a chance now so I'm taking her now." Jacob explains to John. John takes a second to think about this.

     "Why's that?" John asks, "Why should we care what her friends want, why doesn't she want her friend with me?"

     "I don't know I wasn't listening to the details, apparently when the little lady escaped and made it to see her friend, you must've done some tough shit because she was begging them to keep her there." Jacob explains, "So Joseph told her that he can ask me to take her for now." John sighs, even if he wanted to he couldn't go against either of his brothers. If Joseph said Jacob can take you, John couldn't do anything about that.

     "I suppose, but she's pretty hard headed." John admits, rubbing his head in frustration, "And you promise to bring her back for atonement?" Jacob nods.

     "Yeah I will. That's if she makes it out of the training alive." Jacob says, "Remember I cull the weak, if she is too weak then she'll end up dead." John sighs he knew his brother wasn't planning on bringing you back. All he could do was hope. If John was being honest he didn't think you could stand not even a single trial Jacob would throw at you. When you were stuck in the torture room with John the past two weeks you didn't hesitate to cry rivers in front of him. You pleaded you shook, if you did that to Jacob he would shoot you with no hesitation.

     "Whatever, I guess I'll get going." John says entering one of the cars around. He knew he would never see your face again. Worst case scenario is if you die doing a trial. Best case is if you pass and become one of Jacob's lap dogs. Jacob waved off his brother before grabbing the radio that rested on his hip asking for some men to come with a car. He then picked up the passed out (h/c) and walked off with you in his hands. Off to the vet center where he kept all his soon to be soldiers. He saw potential in you when you fought against John and his men. Even when you fought against your best friend two weeks ago. This sparked many ideas in him as he walked off with you.
