'' you ok kid ?''
Ghost kneeled down to you checking for any cuts or wounds that you could have gotten from the  unexpected incident . you had.  just gotten off another mission , you had to retreat after graves turned on you and task force 141 . when you and the others had gone to meet with Shepherd to get notice you saw graves with his men armed and ready . you had gone there for answers from a previous mission you had just gotten off of but all that happened was the betrayal of graves . he had his men open fire on you and task force 141 . Thankfully soap and the others got out safe but they had minor cuts which could be easily healed with some ointment and a bandaid . you've been on task force 141  for basically your whole life . You were 13 years old and the daughter of  Ghost aka Simon Riley . Your mother is unknown to you due to the fact that she walked out of you and ghosts life because she wasn't ready to be a mother nor did she want to be a mother at all or raise a child  . Therefore Ghost had taken you with him and raised you with the help of task force 141 . They taught you how to fight in hand in hand combat and taught you how to use various types of weapons . soap, price , gaz and Alejandro were like your uncles to you . They helped you out with many things like training and comforted you after hard missions and patched you up when needed, which was rare because they try to protect you as much as possible from getting hurt .  you loved staying with task force 141. It was your home and they were your family no matter what even if it wasn't the greatest or safest living style for a 13 year old girl you loved every bit of it  no matter what and you didn't give a shit . you had gotten back to your barracks  late at night and you were waiting in your room in your bunk for the next move  while the others were also waiting but this made you wonder a lot so you decided to ask . you got up and threw the covers off of you and you stepped out of your bunk and out of your room . you went down the hall and saw soap , price and alejandro playing cards while Gaz was probably in his room filling out reports . You saw Ghost quietly observing the others , his gaze was cold and empty but when he saw you coming from through the hallway his gaze softened . He always wore his mask as usual but you never questioned it at all . you had your own mask that matched with ghost to his regular white one . You were kinda like Ghost in many ways . you and him were both quiet , observing but he talked rarely on missions but when around you he had some conversations with you . you always talked with your uncles , your favorite being Alejandro . ghost kept his gaze on you as you slowly entered the room and sat at your respected spot in the far corner of the room . you sat at your little desk and pulled some pens and pencils out of the drawers for you to use and got some paper and you started to draw some blueprints to build another cool skull mask . Ghost got up out of his seat and walked over to you to see you buried in your work . you had heard him walk over and you looked up and gave him a small smile .
'' oh hi dad ''
You saw his eyes soften and he grabbed a nearby chair and sat with you .
''What,cha workin on ?''
He asked curiously , his tone raspy and deep . He tilted his head and looked at what you were doing and took an interest . you were working on a modified red skull mask .
'' Oh nothing much, just another mask . ''
You smiled and kept sketching what it would look like and how it would look . you didn't tell him but you were making him one too so you and him could match  .
'' Dad, do you know why we are waiting for the next move ? and whos giving the order?''
You said as you continued to draw .
'' we must wait to see the order so we can see how wwe take down graves and the order is gonna be given by the higher ups .''
He said as he put his hand gently on your shoulder . you could tell that he was smiling under the mask at you . your father , Ghost was always cold , stern and quiet while he could be very observant and could easily read how you felt like a book . but he was always soft and gentle with you and extremely protective . You and Ghost were on a mission with your uncles on a stealth mission once  and things kinda went south and you were getting shot at by the enemy and you were running but there was a guy down and he grabbed onto your leg and pulled a knife and went to slash your ankle . Ghost had seen and ran so quickly and kicked the knife out of his hand and kicked him in the face . He was angry . He didn't want to see you get hurt but he knew the risks of bringing you on missions .
'' wheres uncle alejandro ?''
'' he's playing cards with your other uncles ''
He said rough but softly .
Your uncles were always playing cards together in their free time . Sometimes they even blamed soap for cheating and you always laughed at it . Ghost glanced at them and looked back at you as you continued to work . He stood with and kicked back in his seat and kept a protective eye on you . Ghost loved you more than anything else . you were his sidekick and the only thing that made him keep going .
