Darkness (John Wick x Female Reader)

Chapter 8

The stress from what had happened was too much for you. You remember walking across the cobbled road and into some sort of building.
John was holding onto you but not too tightly. Ushered words were heard but you were unaware of what was happening around you.

When you woke up, you found yourself on a plush bed, what the fuck? You look around frantically and your eyes finally land on John who's holding a gun.

'Holy shit! Don't shoot me!'

You scream and John jumps from your sudden outburst, 'I'm not going to shoot you. I'm just cleaning my guns'.
He had multiple guns? You watch him finish cleaning the handgun and packing it away.

'How the hell did I get here?'

John smirked, 'ah, I see. You weren't entirely there when I was escorting you into The Continental'.

'The wh- oh, the place'.

You take in your surroundings, 'this room reminds me of a-'.

'Hotel? That's because it is, but it's a... Special one'.

You weren't even going to ask why it's special, 'so... What's going to happen? Am I to stay here?' John nods, 'yes, this is the only place for you to be safe'.

'From who?'

He sighed and leaned back into the armchair, 'there's a woman who's been after me-'.

'Oh, that's rough'.

You couldn't help yourself but you knew, judging by the way he looked at you, that he wasn't taking the joke.

'She's very powerful. She and I go way back and it hasn't been a good history between us'.

'Okay? So why am I in the pic- oh'.

You remembered what he had said, 'alright, so she's trying to use me against you or something?' John nods, 'yes, so you're going to stay here where she can't hurt you'.

'How do you know I'll be safe here?'

'Trust me, you will be safe here. The Continental is a powerful place'.

'Ok... I'll take your word for it'.

You examine John a little closer. You took note of the scars on his face. The jaw length hair and the messed up suit.

'You really looked like you've been kicked around, what the hell is your  job?'

He smirked, 'that's confidential- for now', you were about to speak but at least he was going to tell you in the near future.
There was a sudden ringing sound and you watch John as he quickly pulls out his phone and answers.

'I've got her, she's safe. Where are you?'

He paused for a few moments before nodding, 'alright, I'll meet you down there', he shuts the phone off, shoves it in his pockets and straightens his suit, 'I'll be back in a bit'.

'Where are you going?'

'Just down stairs, I'm meeting... A friend'.

'Will I ever see him?'

John pauses for a few moments before nodding, 'yes, you'll see him. I have to go, I'll see you later', you're unable to say anything else as he leaves you alone in the room.

Well this sucks.
