Better days ( graves an child reader)

Darkness (chapter 25)

A/n- today was magical as fuck for me so here's a chapter from the peotic rizzler 🤠🫶🏼

You and the other humvees had rolled through a small town or sorts. Bright colors lied around with people working at their vendor carts and children running about playing as they should do in their youth. It was sunny out with a few clouds scattered in the sky and people roaming about doing their own thing. Soap turned his head and looked out the window as you did the same as you took in the new sight.

"White truck four armed in the back."
Soap announced as he noticed when looking out the window , this causing ghost to tighten the grip on his rifle. You looked at ghost and cocked an eyebrow at him as you noticed this and Alejandro noticed this as well.
"Hey tranquilo easy—that's normal here."
Alejandro reassured as he turned in his seat to face ghost a little more.
"Guns on the streets are the jurisdiction of the police."
Alejandro explained and you huffed.
" Such a shocker , I can't believe it , it's almost as if there's police around to do something."
You Say sarcastically as you cross your arms over your vest.

"Well las almas has a very serious problem."
Alejdanro sighed as he looked ahead as Rodolfo drives.
"Glad you just noticed this."
You spoke as you looked out the window.
"And what do you know about it over here?"
Ales' tone was as if he was expecting a grade of an explanation which to your luck you had.
"I used to live on the streets y'know , I've seen that shit more than Once to know how the police are and what they do and don't do , they're priorities are set wrong."
You muttered and he nodded.

Soap listened as he looked down at you and ghost listened intently as you spoke. You reminded ghost of himself when he was younger. Like you he had a harsh childhood, he had also edured abused but the more he stood around you the more he couldn't bare to look at you as now he was somewhat growing attached. He wouldn't admit that of course , it's ghost.

"There are few to uphold the law and many who refuse corruption.."
Alejandro explained again.
"Ain't that a bitch eh?"
You smirked and soap shook his head.
You turned your head and you saw ghost pull out a small device that seemed to have a radar on it and you tilted your head confused.ghost gave a look towards you and soap before looking back at the radar on the small device.
"There back."
Ghost spoke as his grip on his rifle every so slightly tightened on the base.

Soaps eyes narrowed and Alejandro turned his head as this had gotten his attention.
"Who?"
Alejandro's husky Spanish accent came out and Rudy looked in the Rear view mirror as he eyes ghost a little as he drives.
"It's grim."
Ghost announced and your eyes widened a little.
Before anyone could get another word out a loud bang rang off , a flash of white crossed your vision and your hearing was nowhere to be found as your senses clouded and we're gone.

It was dark.

You couldn't yell for help or escape it , it was a endless void as the pain seeped in.

"Where am I?"
You spoke as you looked around the dark area. Your sense still clouded and your vision nowhere to be found.

"You are here y/n"

"Where ?"

"Here"

"I don't get it..."

"It will all make sense soon y/n , for you are dusk but till then you must wait till dawn.."

Your eyes opened slowly.

Your vision blurry as your eyes slowly opened , the strong smell of antibiotics and antiseptics flowing through your nostrils. As your vision grew stronger and much clearer you saw other doctors and nurses crowding around you and you looked to your right to see someone being held back from entering the room and as you looked to your left you saw one of the female nurses give you a soft smile. As you woke up more and became more aware of your surroundings you felt the pain seep in your side.

You looked down at your side to see it bandaged up with a small blood splotch in the middle of it. You looked down at yourself to see you in a hospital gown along with many wires attached to your arms and an IV running through from your hand pumping fluids through your vein. As you woke up one of the nurses began to shine a light in your eyes and tell her name.
"My name is Willow , can you tell me your name hun?"
She questioned you as you began to wake up still. You didn't answer at first and as you didn't answer she wrote something down.
"She seems to still be disoriented and dazed."
Willow spoke to one of the other nurses.
"Will give her some time to wake up fully and then we'll talk to her but for now she must rest."
Another nurse spoke before leaving the room and the other nurses at the door finally let go of whoever they were holding and they quickly ran up next to your medical bed that you were laying in.

It was graves , your father.

"Jesus Christ...."
Graves muttered as he sat in the chair next to your bed to accompany you. He wore a worn down pair of gloves along with cargos and a blue collared shirt with his black combat boots.You looked up at him with a dazed expression and you gave him a worried look.
"How do you feel kid?"
He asked you softly as he gently scooted closer to your bed and too off his glove as he gently cupped your cheek , brushing his thumb gently over the bandage that covered it.

"Where's ghost and soap ?...."
Your voice was raspy as you spoke quietly.
"There fine just a few brusies."
Graves responded In hopes of reassuring you a little as he had see the worry In your face.

Rock bottom had hit and new highs arose but this had been to much for it was taking a toll.
