all fair in love and war (mw2 x reader)

A candle to a blaze

light snow hit the ground

i shook under the frigidness from the snow

and i stared at the tombstone infront of me as the priest asked if i needed anything

Tears filled my eyes and I looked up

I wouldn't cry anymore for those who I've lost

13 hours earlier

We all sat doing multiple different things while we waited for Aleksander and Laswell to return

The room was dim, filled with cigarette smoke and the sound of chips being shuffled by Arina and Lazarus

They both called me over to play, I played poker before with Lazarus and Arina but I was still getting the hang of it

As I sat down I realized a completely forgot the rules of poker, I looked at Arina with a pleading look and she chuckled

"Forgot how to play?"

"Yeah"

"You will get dealt five cards then try to guess how other peoples cards are and give chips accordingly and whoever bids the most chips wins unless someone else is willing to match your bet" she explained but it kind of went in one ear out the other

But I would still attempt to no avail

As I sat down at the table, I could feel the eyes of the Lazarus and Soap on me. I figured with my chips, trying to look like i knew what i was doing.

Arina dealt out the first hand and I quickly realized i had no idea what any of my cards meant

Everybody started off slow, only betting small amounts, but as they got more comfortable with the game, they began to make bolder moves.

I watched them all, and eventually just started copying their moves

"See Y/N its not that hard, your getting the hang of it" Lazarus said

I gave a small laugh before looking back down at my cards

As the night went on, I found myself laughing and joking with everybody

And if course it's a mission with Soap so by the end some beer bottles were in the table

I noticed Gaz join us now and he walked over to Soap

"Soap, when did Laswell say the mission was?"

"we are leaving tomorrow morning" He spoke in return to Gaz's question

I was laying on the couch struggling to keep my eyes open and decided maybe I would join everybody again but as I looked over I realized my social battery was drained

Lazarus and Arina were exchanging small talk at the table while Gaz and Soap listened so I figured I would just lay back down

As I drifted into sleep I could hear shifting noises around me

Suddenly my world erupted into a cool breeze, my lungs heaved for air and I got up off the ground to be met with moss and dirt

The smell of dirt filled my nose and I looked down to see I was in a forest

A forest a knew all to well

I gasped and clawed my way through the dense forest, hearing birds and various other animals screaming

Every time I looked behind my a faceless figure ran through a dark forest, the branches of trees clawing at my skin as I stumbled and fell. Every time I tried to scream, no sound would come out of my mouth.
