Faith in Humanity [Male Deputy reader x Faith Seed]

"Who is he brother?"

Joseph had called a family meeting to discuss which sibling received which captive, and the missing rookie.

As Faith walked into the church, she looked at Deputy Hudson, Deputy Pratt, and Marshall Burke.

"Please, be seated brothers, sister." Joseph said as Faith, Jacob, and John all sat around the meeting table. "First, I would like to discuss the heretic who escaped. Jacob, you say you know him? Who is he, Brother?"

Joseph presented a photo of Y/N to Jacob who chuckled.

"That right there...is Major L/N. Joseph, if we converted him to our cause, we'd crush the whitetails with him and him alone." Jacob said as John laughed.

"Brother here seems to have a crush."

"The only thing getting crushed will be you if you don't listen to me. Joseph. give him to me, and I promise you a soldier better than any before." Jacob said as Faith listened to them. Joseph picked up on her looking at the photo of Y/N.

"Sister, is something wrong?" Joseph asked.

"What is this mans name, first name?" Faith said as she looked at the photo.

"Y/N, Y/N L/N." Jacob said as Faiths breath hitched. She looked at The Father with pleading eyes.

"If he is captured, bring him to me first." Faith said as Joseph looked at him, John burst out laughing.

"Oh, has little Faith found herself a boyfriend-"

"John, quiet." Joseph spoke before looking to Faith. "Faith, what is so important about him?"

"I used to go to school with him-" Faith began as Jacob spoke softly.

"Was he one of the ones who bullied you?"

"No...he's one of the ones who protected me, he stood up for me. We were friends, close friends." Faith said as she remembered the times with Y/N.

11 years ago:

Y/N and Rachel were sat together in the field by Y/N's home, Rachel was trying to go clean, she was trying her best, she had just got out of rehab. Trying being the operative word there.

It had been two months since she met Y/N, and he had been with her every step of the way, picking her up from the rehab centre. Tracy had been with them as well. As Rachel sat with Y/N out in the field by Y/N's old family home, she looked up at the beautiful Montana sky as Y/N wrote in the small journal he owned.

"Story?" She asked as Y/N chuckled.

"Yeah. Something like that." Y/N said as he closed the journal and looked at Rachel. "Heard from Tracy recently?"

"Yeah, she's been in contact, asking if I want to hang out." Rachel said as Y/N nodded. "You and her not talking still."

"We're talking, just not much, and it usually isn't friendly." Y/N said as he lay back on a blanket next to her and looked up at the sky.

"She cares just as much as you do Y/N."

"Uh huh. I know she does, just me and her have opposing views on what that care entails. She says she wants to support you in rehab but then she's out with you taking drugs. Just...I don't know." Y/N sighed as Rachel nodded.

"I know, and I know where you're coming from. But please, it would mean a lot to me if you and her sorted things out." Rachel said as Y/N nodded.

The next day Y/N and Rachel walked into school, as they were walking in they heard murmurs amongst the students, that's when Y/N's ex, Jessica, spoke up.

"So, Y/N, I hear this is your new Girlfriend, the Junkie? What the hell happened to your so called standards?" Jessica asked as Y/N looked at her.

"They've improved, now move out of the way Jessica." Y/N said as Rachel looked timid.

"Why, you and your little Junkie bitch trying to find a dealer in a stock cupboard or something." Jessica laughed as Y/N took a breath. He was about to speak until Y/N's cousin walked in.

"Hey, leave him alone Jessica!" Mary May shouted as she got into the girls face, knowing Y/N was too much of a gentlemen to say what he was no doubt thinking.

"Or what?"

"You want a repeat of the last time we did this dance?" Mary said as Jessica looked at Rachel and spoke.

"We'll get you you Junkie bitch!"

"Knock it off. And for the record, she's not my girlfriend." Y/N said as Nate approached and put his arms around Jessica.

"Jessie, you okay?"

"Nate, Y/N and his Junkie friend just come over here and they started to-"

"You came over to us!" Y/N said as Nate got in his face.

"Watch your tone Y/N." Nate growled as Y/N looked at him.

"Why don't you make me?" Y/N said as he saw Nate shift his weight slightly, Y/N avoided the predictable punch and sent a headbutt straight into Nates chest, the force off his back foot knocking the wind out of Nate.

Nate went to throw another punch but Y/N was quick to duck under the attack and grab his arm before kicking him in the back of the knee, knocking him to the floor before taking a small run up and delivering a flying knee to Nates jaw. The boy was knocked out on the floor as Y/N looked at him.

"And before you say anything Jessica, that was self defence, he threw the first punch and I got three people to testify that." Y/N said as he looked at her. "Now get out of my way."

Jessica ran to Nates side as he was on the floor, Y/N, Mary May, Rachel, and the recently arrived Tracy walked to class, with Y/N hanging back and explaining to Tracy why he was so worried about Rachel when it came to using drugs.

Present Day:

Faith smiled at the memory as Joseph too had a tender smile. He felt some sort of appreciation to Y/N. He looked at Faith.

"Very well, whoever's region he is in when he is captured get's to convert him, if we capture him, no killing him. In the wild however, he's free game." Joseph said as the siblings nodded, Faith nodded in agreement, thinking about Y/N. "Brother Jacob. How skilled was this man?"

Before Jacob could answer, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The door opened and a cultist walked in.

"Father, we have news. An island has been lost, a small band of resistance fighters has captured it and wiped out our forces on the island."

"How small was this band of fighters?" Jacob asked.

"It was one man, sir." The cultist said as Jacob looked to Joseph.

"Its him." Jacob said as Joseph nodded before dismissing the meeting, sending Hudson off with John, Pratt with Jacob, and Burke with Faith...
