I Never Forgot (A COD Advanced Warfare Fanfic)

Part 18 -Another Secret-

Gideon's POV
---
I frowned knowing something was bothering her. "What's wrong?" I ask her my voice gentle and worried. She looked at me quickly then back down to the ground "Gideon I-" her voice cracked as she spoke and I noticed a tear drop from her eye to her cheek. I walked over to her and embraced her and hold her but she screams and pushes me back caught off guard I stumble backwards trying to get my footing. "Kee wait!" I call to her as she runs out the door.

I race after her my head spinning with possibilities. Did someone touch her? Is she having a meltdown? was I the cause of this? All I wanted was for her to turn around and run back to me but I knew that wasn't gonna happen. I pant as I start to slow down I curse at my body for not having enough energy to continue it seemed that she was heading to where we have the WarBird. I radio Mitchell my voice strained and worried "Mitchell get the hell down to Hangar 12" I say not hearing his response as I take in a breath before sprinting toward the hangar.

Keegan's POV
---
I can't do this! my head told me but the devil on my shoulder told me I could  and I listened to the devil and ran. Ran out of the room, out of his grasp, out of his warm comforting touch but my mind was having a battle with my body as I screamed out in confusion, anger, and sadness. He must have thought I did something or someone did something but no! the inner demon took over and I guess it was just a matter of time before I became like my bloodline. Now, what you ask of what I did? Well I made a deal with the devil but people know him as Jonathan Irons the CEO and president of Atlas. I run towards the Hangar named twelve as I hear my once lover's voice call out my name as my mind blurs with second thoughts but got pushed down to hell by the devil telling me to do this woeful task.

I snap out of my captive mind state as I feel like I ran into a wall but it was Mitchell. "Keegan you alright?" I hear him say as I blink and back away from him. "Keegan what's wrong?" his voice was soft and gentle but I knew it wasn't real he wasn't real. He was somebody that was holding me back from what the world could truly be and how life could become the most impossible shining beauty it could be. I look around for something to scare away the truly caring man in front of me and I see it a pistol.

I grab it from the table and aim it at him and see his body stricken with fear his eyes wide. I smile at the thought of what power could do to a man like Mitchell I could make him cower in fear. I step around him and make my way to the WarBird before hearing the one voice that saved me so many times. My inner demon shrank as my head whipped to the British accent "Kee! You don't have to do-" I cut him off as I aim the pistol at him and see his body struck with fear. I again get taken over by the demon inside my soul and let out a maniacal laugh.

I back into the WarBird entrance still aiming the pistol at the both of them. "Don't do this! Keegan!" I hear Gideon's voice call out and I gaze to him seeing he has a pistol aimed at me. "Come back with us" His voice is desperate as I crawl farther into the WarBird. "No!" I scream shaking my head as I hear that taunting voice yelling shoot! shoot! shoot! I obey the orders and shot at the wall missing Mitchell on purpose and ducking behind the WarBird's pilot chair as shots fired through the air from Gideon's pistol. I cry out in pain as I feel one hit my shoulder and clutch it seeing the blood pool around my hand.

I rush to turn on the WarBird's engine and successfully turn it on emptying my round and chucking the gun out and sit down in the chair. "No!" I hear Gideon cry out as I fly out of the hangar and hold back my tears as my heart sinks and I feel like it snapped and crumbled into tiny pieces. I knew I shouldn't have done that I knew I shouldn't have left him there. I think over my choice of how Irons had this power over me but that was always the plan. He wouldn't respect my choices in life of wanting to join William but I now understand that having that power made you stronger than any military base ever on this scummy planet.

Gideon crumbled into a sobbing mess as he saw the end of the WarBird fly out of the hangar. Screaming and falling to his knees as his heart felt like it got exploded by a grenade and he was the mush that was left of his insides. Mitchell's face held shock and pain for his friend but anger and rage for Keegan's actions. He was like two face in a way of emotions. He bent down and slung an arm around his British friend and held him as he cried into his shoulder soiling his uniform but that was the least of his worries.

Gideon's POV
----
An hour later I was preparing for war. A war against Irons and Keegan. We tracked the WarBird to Irons place of base in New Baghdad in a city somewhere. "You know the orders if you see Keegan or Irons shoot 'em dead!" Cormack screams at the team as we all nod. We land safely into the position of attack and follow through with our plan. My heart filled with venom as I shot at the opposing team and meleed a man in the back stabbing him over and over as my vision got blurred with tears but I wiped them away.

My mind was set on one thing only and it was Keegan. There wasn't anytime to drown out my feelings with the sweet bitter taste of alcohol but I could drown them out with combat. I shoot a soldier in the head and grin evilly seeing another soldier with wide eyes backing away as I chase after him as a cheetah would do to a gazelle and pounce shooting him in the head and walk over to him grabbing his motionless head and smear the blood on my face. Smelling the scent of death as I imagine Keegan's blood over my hands and I turn away and drop the skull back on the ground grabbing the but of my gun and smashing in the skull hearing the brain squish and squash under my strength. I look up to see another comrade look at me with fear as I grin at him before jogging off to take out more Atlas reinforcements.
