Faith in Humanity [Male Deputy reader x Faith Seed]

I Already Made You A Promise...

Y/N walked away from the captured outpost after handing it over to some resistance guards, he was covered in blood and his Kevlar vest had bullets embedded in it. He got in his squad car and started the engine up when his radio went haywire.

"Your actions have consequences, Deputy. I've gathered all your friends here in Fall's End to Atone for your sins. You're welcome to join us. After all. If it weren't for you they wouldn't be in this predicament...This is your last chance to say Yes, Deputy. Don't be late." John said as Y/N looked to the pistol on his hip and set off for Falls End.

Y/N arrived at Falls End, stopping just outside of the church, he got out of the car and walked towards the door of the church, opening the door and being hit with the butt of a rifle in the face, knocking him out.

When Y/N awoke he could feel John carving a word into his stomach with the tattoo machine, Y/N tried to struggle but was held down by six cultists.

"Hold still... It's supposed to say 'wrath' not 'rat'...Sin must be exposed so it may be absolved. If we hide our sin, we hide ourselves...You will not hide any longer. Your true self will spill out on this floor for all to see. Ahhhhh...Perfect." John said sternly as he stood up, ordering the cultists to stand Y/N on his feet and bring him to the front of the church. "If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, then bring the mountain to Mohammed. Let's begin!"

Pastor Jerome was brought forward by the cult holding his bible, but John knocked it to the floor and replaced it with the word of the father, the peggy bible.

"I thought a friendly face might make your Atonement easier..." John said. "Our devoted we are gathered here to bear witness..."

Jerome said nothing

John nodded and a Cultist hit him with the stock of their gun, knocking him to the floor, the pastor subtly swapped bibles, picking up the Christian bible.

"You son of a bitch!" Mary May yelled as she was dragged back.

"Hahahahaha. Let's try that again. Hahah. Our devoted. We are gathered here to bear witness..." John said, turning from cocky to 'I will kill you if you do not comply' on the drop of a hat.

"Our devoted. We are gathered here to bear witness..." Jerome repeated after John, the whole time Y/N was giving John a look, if looks could kill John would be a pile of ash on the floor.

"To those willing to atone for their sins." John said as he looked at Y/N, a slight hint of fear in the Seed brothers eyes.

"To those willing to atone for their sins." Jerome repeated.

"Will you Nick Rye place your hand upon The Word of Joseph." John dictated.

"Will you Nick Rye place y--" Jerome began.

"Oh Fuck that. Nah, I ain't ever giving in to that psychopath." Nick said defiantly.

"And there it is. Greed. Always thinking of yourself..." John said as Nick spat in his face, John leaned in and Whispered something unidentifiable in Nick's ear, but whatever it was it scared Nick. "Nick?"
