Driven Into Madness (Yandere!John Laurens x reader) (Wattys2017)

Chapter 3

Your head hit the mini desk next to you as you started to wake up from your short sleep. It would have been a bit longer if you didn't talk to everyone for so long. You groaned and proceded to get dressed. The two men stood at your tent, awaiting for you to emerge from it.

You opened the flap and Laurens immediately latched onto you. "Good morning, love!" You giggled and wrapped your arms around him too. "Do I get a hug?"

"Of course, Herc!" You sung and pulled away from John. You embraced Hercules and he returned it. His hug was very warm and powerful.

He chuckled a bit, but the reason why was quite unknown. Only thing you knew was after the long hug, John had anger written all over his face.

"You alright, cutie?" You asked, laying your hand on his chest. His face lit up and he looked away. "Uhh... uh.. Yeah! I feel great! Ready for our mission, darling?" He stuttered. You giggled.

"As long as you are." He layed a small peck on your forehead. Hercules made a gagging motion. "You two are so disgusting it hurts." You giggled, but Laurens's laugh seemed kind of fake. You brushed it of, though.

Herc directed us to the stables and said, "General Washington said that we may only take two horses as to not cause and trouble for (Y/n)." You cocked your head to the side

"Why would that cause me trouble?" Hercules looked just as confused as you.  "He, didn't tell you? While John and I are searching for any plans they have, you will have to watch the horses."

"Wouldn't it be easier for us to have one horse? Besides, im pretty sure that any guard would be suspicious of a lady walking around their base with two horses." You stated.

"While that is true, you must remember that the three of us will not fit on one horse." "Then I'll walk! I want there to be no way that they can be suspicious of me. I want to make sure you guys have a safe way to and from the base."

Herc chuckled. "My my, (Y/n). You are very persistent. However, we will not risk your life." You were about to but in, but Hercules quickly stopped you. He led the two horses you three would be using and handed one to Laurens.

"(Y/n), do you want to ride with me?" John asked. You patted his back and hopped onto the horse. "Of course I do!" He laughed and sat behind you. He grasped he reigns and waited for Hercules to show he was ready aswell.

"Alright, you two ready?" He questioned. "Actually, we've been waiting for you slowpoke!" You teased and he had the slightest bit of embarrassment etched onto his face.

"Riiiight... Well, let's ride soldiers!" He commanded. Laurens whipped the reigns and the horse began to gallop out of the camp grounds.

Farther and farter away from the camp, you felt a bit of uneasiness dwell inside you. "Nervous?" John asked you. "Yes. This is my first mission. I had no ideas my first mission would be so dangerous, and maybe even life threatening."

He snuggled his head in the crook of your neck. "Hey, everything will be fine. We will try to be quick about it. Just remember what Hercules wants you to do." He reassured. You took deep breaths in and out. Both the horses slowed down in case you three we're close to the enemy.

Laurens let go of one of the reigns and wrapped his arm around your waist. "Laurens! This is dangerous!" You shouted. "Shh, my love. We don't want the enemy to be alerted. And it's fine. I know what I am doing, hun."

You calmed down a bit, but still kept your guard up just in case John fucked something up. Then again, you should've kept your guard up anyways.

"There it is." Herc whispered just loud enough for us to hear. John jumped off the horse and helped you down. God this boy is such a gentleman. He even smoothed out your dress when you dismounted the horse. You kissed his cheek and he kissed your forehead.

"I'll be back before you know I'm gone." He said. You lied your head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He must've been a bit nervous too, due to being a bit fast. "Please, be safe. Both of you." You said, looking over at Hercules.

"Yes ma'am." Herc said, grabbing Laurens and handing you the reigns to his horse. They trudged towards the camp and hid behind a wall and Hercules waited for a redcoat soldier to appear. Once on did, he snapped his neck, stripped him, and handed the clothes to Laurens. Since they were a bit on the small side, Herc had to find another for himself.

"Stay here. Act like you are guarding the premise." Hercules demanded. Laurens nodded and stood, waiting and waiting for Herc to return. Everything was going quite alright. Hercules returned with almost no breath. He startled John at first, making him think the enemy was right next to him.

"Lets go." Hercules whispered, holding up a rolled up paper then stuffing it in his pocket. "Why are you sweating so much? Did something happen?" Laurens asked, concerned for his friend. "There's no time. We have to leave."

Just then, a voice boomed from the camp. "WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PLANS!!??" was that... uh oh..

Hercules latched onto Laurens's arm and whisper yelled, "NOW!!!" The two sprinted to where they left you and almost made it. Hercules had to let go of John to get ready to hop on his horse. Laurens, however, was grabbed from behind. The captor placed a rag in front of his face, and Laurens passed out.

Hercules made it to (Y/n) and took the reigns from you. "Hercules... Where's John?"
His heart stopped.
"What.. Why isn't he here.. He was right behind me, Damnit!!"

John was hauled into a dark tent and placed on a table. He did not wake up on his own. A redcoat medic threw a bucket of freezing water on his face. "Agh, Shit!" He yelled.

"Hello Mr. Laurens." A voice said. The medic didn't say anything, he just slid to the side of the tent. "You..." John started. "YOU BASTARD!"
