"Welcome Home Soldier" A Jacob Seed X OC fanfic

Chapter Five

ELLANA'S POV

When I woke up my head was pounding, I opened my eyes and my vision was blurry... 'did they drug me?' My body hurt, and I felt weak... I tried to move, but I couldn't? 'I'm strapped to a chair? This... this is not good'

The longer I was awake the more energy I was regaining, I tried to break free of the ropes that were digging into my skin, "it's no use, I'm still not strong enough"

as if on cue... two men walk in, one is John Seed, and the other... is the man from the gas station? the soldier? I couldn't help but wonder 'who is he?'

There's something about him,

"So, Ellana Moore. Tell me, what brings you to Hope County?" The red headed man asked me, his voice was calmer than I thought it would be.

"I... I live here" I said, still a little groggy, "how do you know who I am?" I never told them my name, 'did someone rat me out? And how did they know I would be at Nicks?'

"It wasn't hard, to tell you the truth. an old 'friend' of yours told us everything we needed to know" John said, using his fingers to make little air quotes when he said the word friend.

"An old friend?" No friend of mine would rat me out... unless-

At that moment, the door opened, drawing my gaze to the man who walked through it "L-lee? You told them? Why?" I was shocked, and heartbroken, that Lee, a man I once loved with my whole heart, would betray me.

"You left me" Lee said, rather coldly I might add "I loved you, and you abandoned me"

"Abandoned you? Because I joined the national guard? You knew from day one that I was planning on joining!" my voice was strained.

Meanwhile, John and Jacob were standing by, like two little kids watching their parents argue. "We dated for three years Ellana, I thought that maybe in those three years you had grown a heart and decided not to leave!"

'I don't understand why he's acting like this, it was his idea to break up in the first place!' "I never wanted to break up with you Lee! It was your idea!"

"Only because I knew, that if we dated while you were gone, you would cheat on me! You were always a whore! You think I don't know what you and Nick were up to? Always running around together, whispering to each other when I was around!" At that moment Lee pulled a knife from his belt, he was going to stab me. He quickly raised his knife to swing at me... but just moments before he could cut me, someone grabbed his wrist... the red head.

"The Father would be disappointed in you Lee. Hell, I'm disappointed in you, you're weak. And you know what happens to people who are weak, i must cull the herd, it's my job" the red head said eerily to Lee, he then shouted, calling two men into the room "put him somewhere, he needs to go through the trials again"

The two men drug Lee from the room, all while he was begging 'brother Jacob' for forgiveness, 'is that who he is? Jacob Seed? I guess that would make since. Nick said he was scary, and I guess to some people, he would be. But not to me, I don't know why, but he's not'

"What's gonna happen to him?" Sure, a minute ago Lee was ready to gut me, but does he deserve to die because of it? Or to go through the 'trials'? Whatever that is. No, no he doesn't.

"Don't worry about Lee" John suddenly spoke up 'kinda forgot smiley was here' "the only thing you need to worry about is what you can do for us" he said calmly. 'What do they want from me? What could I possibly do for them?'

"What do you want?" It wasn't hard for me to hide my thoughts or fears, I've dealt with men far worse then them.

Jacob turned his back to me, and started walking towards the nearby table, a table covered in what looked like tools capable of... torture? 'They haven't even asked me anything yet, and they're going to start torturing me?' But Jacob didn't grab anything, instead he faced me again and began leaning on the table 'thank god'
