Aversion - Simon ''Ghost'' Riley x Reader

Chapter 24

Suddenly Y/n's expression changes. Her fiery attitude returns, but not in a good way.

Her eyebrows furrow, eyes narrowed as she starts gritting her teeth.

Vince is making her feed on her anger towards me.

''Don't hold back dear...'' Vince whispers in her ear.

My heart sinks. It already tore me apart to see her like this, but the situation is turning even more dark at this point.

''No.. Y/n..'' I hold my hands up, trying to calm her down, as I see the fire in her eyes burning bright. ''Don't listen to him.'' I say cautious, adding some weight to my words as I stare deeply into her eyes.
''I know we've had our differences but this is not-..''

I choke on my words as y/n again charges at me. Much like how she attacked Vince back at his mansion. She holds her hands up, ready to strike.
I don't hesitate as I quickly grab her wrists firmly.

She isn't backing down. Her arms tremble.

Mine do too, due to her strength and determination. I struggle to make sure she can't lower the knife.

I grit my teeth, my mind working overtime. But then, y/n speaks.

''You said it was my fault Four died.''

Her voice sounds monotone, but still they make an impact on me as they take me back to our fight right before she was taken.

''Y/n..'' I try gently, still struggling to keep a hold of her. ''Listen to me, I regret what I said..Vince is using you...using your anger. You gotta snap out of it!''

''You look down on me..'' Y/n continues. It's like she is reading a script, but I can tell there is some truth to the hurt she is feeling. Whatever Vince did to her, it makes it so any painful memory present in her mind adds to her anger. Feeding it.

''You underestimate me...'' She continues.

Vince chuckles in the background as he watches our fight. ''It's no use Lieutenant..'' He taunts. ''The vine is too strong for her to break..''

The what..?

As I listen to Vince, my arms relax for a second. Y/n doesn't hesitate as she kicks me in my stomach, making me fall backwards.

I hit the ground hard. I can only watch as she charges at me..

''STOP!''

I quickly roll on my stomach, looking behind me as I suddenly see Sarah running into the room, quickly followed by Night and Soap. Even Y/n seems to pause as her head snaps upwards to look at the group barging in.

''Johnny!'' I yell, relieved to see him.

He bends down, extending his hand to help me up. Before I can say anything, Sarah walks up to y/n.

''What are you doing!? Put that knife down!'' She says in disbelief as he stares daggers at y/n.

''Sarah, don't.'' I command as I quickly grab her shoulder, pulling her backwards.

She stares at me, confused as her eyebrows turn into a frown.

I see in the corner of my eye Soap looking y/n up and down. ''Lass..?'' He whispers.

Y/n eyes glide from one person to the other. A mischievous smirk creeping on her face.

Soaps eyes grow wide, Sarah lets out a loud gasp.

''No..'' She says, her voice breaking as she keeps her gaze trained on y/n.

Soap turns his head to look at me. ''LT..what..is she..?''
