DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except Night 3, The song verse in this is "Stand Up" By FireFlight
I lay down in the snow as I feel my fingers going numb, I don't have much time to think before MacTavishs voice comes
in on the coms "Night do you have visual on the base?."
"Aye, So am I heading for the warehouse?." I ask
"Yes, its halfway across the base, and you have to go through it, be careful though if you alarm the guards Derek Aden and Those Warheads are gone." MacTavish warns
"Way to be a optimist." I reply
"Aye." He answers back
I have to hunt down Derek Aden a War criminal, from what I understand, he is selling stolen warheads to the Russians, not only do I have to kill him but I have to secure the warheads,
"And I'm soloing this mission?." I say
"Un tell we get more hands on deck." MacTavish reassures
"Oh brilliant just brilliant!." I retort quietly
"I thought you were a good sniper Night?."
"Damn you Ghost!." I swear under my breath, why did he have to nickname me that? out of all my bad habits I have, he had to pick that one!
"I'm a bloody great sniper! but id feel more comfortable if I had someone watching my 6." I say flatly as I approach the base.
"And you will, once we have more people." MacTavish answers calmly.
I roll my eyes as I crawl right beside the fence, once i'm in the base its like child's play, men go in pairs of two, there spread out way to thin, this only makes it easier on me though. I can see the warehouse from here I just need to get behind a building to reach it.
and what do you know? another group of two.
"People these days." I mumble under my breath as I pull out my sniper.
I can sunddenly hear a voice in my head "Alright kid wait for them to split up, don't want things getting out of hand."
"But I don't have all day Price." I say under my breath with a deep frown,
I crawl around a little bit and line up the perfect double kill, I hold my breath for a moment then slowly pull the trigger.
"Goodnight." I hear MacTavish say on the coms
I have a bright smile "Your so cheesy Tavish." I hear him laugh in return.
After I get up im against the wall of the building,
"I have visual on the warehouse." I say quietly into the coms,
"There should be a weak spot in the fence just ahead." MacTavish says
"As expected." I reply as I get back down in the snow and crawl to the fence, There's a small hole in the fence, I frown at it, I can probably make it bigger but im crunching on time, so I begin to crawl through. it takes quite the bit of effort to get my hips through,
"Having trouble hour glass?." MacTavish teases
"Shut up." I retort quietly as I make my way to a snowy hill.
"I hope you've improved on your climbing." MacTavish says glumly
"Well if not falling means 'Improved' then sure." I reply flatly, i'll admit I suck at climbing, whether its tree's to ice, I suck. most the time I end up falling after 10 seconds and let me tell you it bloody hurts.
The ice seems good, I think... Oh god I really need to do this more often.
I stick my axe in the ice and begin to climb up,
"Nice and slow." MacTavish says smoothly
and he's right im going slow, it takes me at least 3 tries to fully get up, which sends MacTavish in a roar of laughter.
"Would you shut the hell up." I snap quietly as I lay down once more. I have a perfect view on the warehouse
"How's the snow?."
"I cant tell you, my mind is too numb to think." I say with a tone of sarcasm
"I don't think that's possible Sunshine."
"Ghost I think you have the wrong channel, and don't call me "Sunshine" again." I reply with a dry tone
"Oh god he didn't tell you did he." Ghost says with a chuckle
"Tell me what!?." I scoff
"Look at the mountain 3 o'clock."
I raise my eyebrows as I pull my sniper to 3 o'clock. I zoom in only to see Ghost look back at me, He knows i'm pissed.
"MacTavish the hell did you not tell me this muppet was coming?." I hiss in a low tone, id probably yell if it weren't for me being on a stealth mission.
MacTavish doesn't give a response
"So how does it feel to be lied to?." Ghost asks, he must be referencing to when MacTavish didn't tell him I was a girl.
"I'm not sure, after all he wasn't the only one hiding something." I retort quietly
"Night im not sure I follow." Ghost replied
"Ghost don't make me go all the way to the mountain and bitch slap you so hard even Google wont be able to find you." I hiss.
"Seriously I have no idea what your talking about." Ghost says innocently
"I asked you if you were coming with me on this mission and you said you were going on a different one, Jesus Christ I don't understand you men."
"Well im gonna shut up now cause if i say anything witty i have no doubt in my mind you will come here and bitch slap me." Ghost says playfully
I am literally about to say every single curse i can think of and use them on Ghost, but that's when a couple of jeeps pull up to the warehouse
"Saved by the war criminal." MacTavish teases.
"Oh now you want to talk." I mumble.
"Alright we should probably wait for them to make the deal, when they put the warheads in the jeep you take the shot on Derek, ill go for the driver were the warheads are." Ghost says swiftly
"Just like that?." I raise a eyebrow
"Aye, any questions?."
"Yeah actually, can you even make that shot on the driver?." I can just see him missing and us having to track down the warheads.
"Who's the lieutenant here?." Ghost asks
"Oh my god there's a lieutenant here? where!?." I joke
"And who's the better shot." Ghost asks again
"Woah woah woah, lets not get to high on are pride here, i'm just saying that id feel more comfortable if i took the shot at the jeep." I say calmly
"Fine, but when you miss you get to track the warheads down by yourself." Ghost replies dryly
"Ok Halloween boy, but one more thing." I say,
"And what is that?." Ghost says with a sigh as i watch the men by the warehouse talk.
"Just...Just don't blow off his arm." I say with a shiver.
I immediately hear MacTavish laugh
"Oh god you still remember that story?." MacTavish bearly chokes out from laughter
"That was so disgusting." I retort
"I'm sorry but what the bloody hell are you two chattering about?." Ghost asks poorly confused
"Well you see-
"I'm going to puke if you even dare tell that story MacTavish." I cut in "Now lets get back to work."
"I couldn't agree more." Ghost says. we must of had quite the long chat cause i see Russian soldiers loading the warheads carefully in the back of the jeep.
"You aren't gonna hit the warheads right?." Ghost asks slightly worried
I laugh and say "You are such a paranoid freak."
"Just saying." Ghost replies
The driver gets in his seat and starts the car
"Take a deep breath, give it a second...then pull the trigger." I can almost feel Price beside me helping me hold my sniper.
I obey the voice and take a deep breath. i wait just a little as the man starts driving.
Everything slows down, my finger pulls down on the trigger. not only have i taken out the driver but i took out the passenger as well. everything is back in normal speed.
The two men in the back seat jump out, only for me to place a bullet in each of there chests.
I guess Ghost did his job cause Derek lays on the ground dead, blood pours out of his head.
"I wont lie you just impressed me." Ghost says
"I suppose you being impressed is a great achievement?." I ask playfully.
"To a certain degree yes." Ghost says in the same playful tone. just then we hear the base alarm go off
"Alright snowflake we need to get down there fast."
"Aye." I agree. i get up and sling my sniper on my back.
Hmmm getting down a mountain, sure no problem. not like id break my neck anyways.
i sigh look down,
"I seriously hate climbing." I mumble as i start my way down. it was easy, well by easy i mean i almost feel half way down. but i got down in one piece and that's all that matters. Ghost as already secured the car
"You made sure to take your sweet damn time." Ghost comments.
"I hate climbing." I exclaim
"From what i can see you hate a lot of things." Ghost replies flatly as he aims his gun up.
"Paranoid." I tease
"Get the warheads so we can go home." Ghost says demandingly
"Oooh a demanding one." I give a fake flirty smile
I can feel him giving me a flat look.
"Fine fine, i don't see why were in such a hurry." I mumble as i make my way to the back of the jeep
"The bloody base alarm just went off." He hisses over the sudden gun fire.
"Your right are arses cant be anymore frozen then this." I ignore his comment.
I hear him laugh over the gun firing.
A smile dances on my face as i say "We have the warheads i repeat we have the warheads."
"Copy that, get to the LZ we'll be waiting." I hear the voice in the coms say.
"C'mon ghosty lets go for a ride." I say as i climb in from the back make my way to the front
He jumps in as i start the car. just then i pull the jeep around and press on the gas.
"Jesus slow down your probably gonna hit a tree if you keep driving like this." Ghost say slightly worried
"Your not living if you don't live a little dangerously." I say with a smile.
just then i see two snowmobiles behind us from my mirrors.
"Better hold unto your mask." I warn as i step on the gas. its bumpy i mean seriously bumpy. we going over hills, rocks, splashing through water the whole nine yards.
"Were almost there." I call out over the gun firing.
Ghost must of shot both of the guys down.
"There gone can you slow down now."
"Fun sucker." I mutter as i slow down a little "Why the hell does it bother you anyways?."
"For one, if i die i prefer it to be me getting shot not by a reckless girl who needs to be in mental care."
I give a slightly offended look and say "I'm not the one wearing a damn mask!."
We both suddenly hear MacTavishs voice "Umm you both do realize your coms are still on."
There's a awkward silence, i'm not sure why but there is.
"I should of just stayed shut up." MacTavish says awkwardly
"You don't say?." Ghost replies before i can.
just then i park the car.
there's a helicopter waiting for us. tons of men come to us and get the warheads.
me and Ghost get step onto the chopper
Ghost's POV
We both sit down as i ask her "So how's your arse feeling?."
She gives me a flat look then flips me off, i end up giving a humored laugh.
It feels like i haven't smiled in ages, Night seems to be the only person who can get me to smile, other then maybe Roach and MacTavish if they do something stupid.
I begin to smile when i think of Roach pranking MacTavish when he was hung over.
"What are you smiling about?." Night asks me as she raises her eyebrows
"Right the vibe." I reply, i wasn't lying when i told her that her vibe seriously freaked me out.
She nods and says "You aren't gonna tell me are you?."
"Nope." I answer
...
Later on in the evening when we got back to base i just wanted to sleep. i can see Night wanted to do the same thing but she was swarmed by the team on how the mission went.
I lay in bed for awhile tossing and turning, i know if i go to sleep ill have the same dream.
after awhile i finally sit up in bed and grab my journal and a pencil.
So me and Night have just got back from a mission, she made a pretty damn good shot at the driven who was taking the warheads back to the Russian base. taking out Derek Aden was far too easy though. it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be so i suppose that's good-
I look up from my journal to see its Night who has came in, her hair is damp which makes it look a lot more brown, She still wears the same cargo jeans but has exchanged her tank top to a army green scoop neck shirt.
"Jesus Christ i'm beat." Night says in a tired voice as she gets in her bunk.
"Is your arse still cold?." I ask, i'm just waiting for her pissed expression, which she gives me instantly
"You are such a pervert." She says from her top bunk. i almost want to get up just to see her expression, whenever Night gets pissed she always gives a cute facial expression. Oh god what am i saying?!
No, No, No I promised myself the night i apologized to her that there wasn't going to be any relationships, i wonder if she thinks about me as much as i do about her,
"Dammit Ghost stop thinking!." Is the first thing i think.
I hear her yawn as the top bunk moves around a bit.
I cant do this anymore, i get out of bed and walk out of the room, I don't hear any objections from Night,
"Why would she anyways?." I think.
Just then i hear "Ah just the person i wanted to see."
I turn around to see a bright eyed blond women chasing me down. I frown and im glad i still wear my balaclava.
"And why do you want to see me?." I ask, Jessica is her name, she's one of the medics she's been chasing me like a dog for 6 months, She's pretty don't get me wrong, but she just doesn't have what i'm looking for, I'm not even sure what i'm looking for...
She gives a shrug and says "Just for a chat i suppose."
i give a slight nod.
"I heard you went on a mission with the new girl." Jessica starts off with
"Aye, she wasn't that bad, but i still think she could use some training."
"Didn't you say the same thing when Roach first joined?." Jess says
I laugh a little and say "He still needs training, i wont lie though the FNG can make one hell of a shot."
"What makes you think that?."
"She made a double kill on two men in a moving car, from a mountain side." I answer
"Ok, maybe she's a good shot." Jess agrees
Just then i hear her name get called my the doctor
"Well that's my call, talk to you later?." She says
"Aye." I answer, and just like that she's gone.
I personally hope Jessica and Night never meet, i could just see Jessica spit a insult, only to have Night counter it with a major burn, but Night will somehow or another end up getting hurt and they will meet.
But i will make sure i'm not there when it happens.
I make my way down to the rec room, when I get there I see Roach at the tv watching Meat and Archer play.
"BULLSHIT!." Meat screams
This only makes Archer and Roach laugh.
"Oh God Meat isn't trying to beat Archer at Need For Speed is he?." I ask as I jump over the back of the coach and land next to Roach
"Beat? there is no beat in it this is Meat's fifth time losing." Roach says as he smothers his laugh
"Ok do better." Meat says in a blind rage as he shoves the controller in Roach's chest
"Woah big boy calm down, ill beat archer in no time." Roach says
"I bet 5 bucks the Roach gets his arse handed to him." I say
Just then I hear MacTavish say "Ill take that bet."
He jumps in a chair right next to the coach
Me and MacTavish watch them race for awhile, they have one more lap to go, just then Archer crashes his car straight into Roach's, making it flip
"DIRTY RACER! DIRTY RACER!." Roach chants
MacTavish chuckles as he hands me five dollars
"Archer the Un-Beatable." Archer says with a tone of pride
"You go Ghost sense your so high and mighty." Roach says in a pissed tone
"The hell? I didn't say anything." I say slightly confused
"Yeah but you were thinking it." Meat says accusingly
"I take it your trying to be like Night and read through my mask." I say contently
"She can do that?." MacTavish asks
"She has this Scarier-Then-Hell 'Vibe'." I explain
"Oh yeah that." MacTavish says as if he recalls a memory.
I still don't understand what's going on between those two. I was taken off guards when Night told me to not blow off Derek Aden's arm, Only to hear her and MacTavish have a slight scuffle, like they knew each other before she joined the Task Force.
"Well take the controller." Roach scoffs as he shoves it to me.
I frown and say "I'm probably gonna get flipped just like both of you but whatever."
Archer was and I mean a God at Need For Speed.
When the game is done loading we start off, Archer is already ahead of me, and like Meat and Roach's fate I was flipped as well.
Roach and Meat share a little giggle of satisfaction.
"I expected no less." I say in my defense.
"Sure did." MacTavish says "Now give me the controller and let me show you how its done."
I smirk and throw the controller to him.
We all bust out in laughter, right as they start Archer spins him out
"That little motherfu-
"So what was that about showing us how its done?." I ask smoothly
"Screw you." He mutters
"I'm gonna get something to eat, anyone else want something?." I offer as I get up.
"Get some a six pack of beer." Roach says
"Seriously." I say
"Fine just 1." Roach says
I roll my eyes and head out of the room.
The halls are empty, its quite normal at this time of day. even the kitchen is empty, which isn't normal, someone is usually in here getting something to eat. I search through the fridge, I end up making a sandwich, and I also get a six pack of beer. I walk back down the hall as i walk by my room, i stop for a moment and push my ear to the door.
she must be on her labtop or something cause i can hear her sing, well i know shes singing, but she's doing it far to quiet for me to hear. i rush away from the door, for all i know she probably knew i was there.
When i come back i hear Roach swear.
I put the six pack on a round table in front of the coach.
"Here yeah go fat arse." I grumble
"Thank you." Roach says as he takes a beer out of the pack, Archer does the same, Meat appears to be sulking on the coach. MacTavish must of went to bed cause he's no were in sight.
i pull my mask up above my mouth and begin to eat the sandwich.
"Ghost what would you do if i took your mask." Roach asks
"Hmm, id skin you alive use the skin to make a pair of shoes, break all of your fingers then hang you from the highest tree i can find." I say as if its nothing
"Damn, you sure are protective of that thing." Roach comments
"I have my reasons." I reply with a shrug
i completely lose track of time, by the time i look at the clock its 2 am in the morning.
"Well i guess i'm gonna go to bed." I say in a tired voice
"Send Night are regards." Roach says with a smirk.
"Will note that." I reply as i walk out.
When i get back to the room, she's up... which doesn't surprise me. She's on her laptop.
"I hope your just about finished." I grumble
She smirks and says "Nope."
I sigh as i drop in my bed i close my eyes and try to get some sleep, just then i heard
"Stand up if your broken, Stand up if you feel ashamed, You are not alone when you hurt this way." Night sings softly, Jesus she has some serious vocal's,
but that one line "You are not alone when you hurt this way." I cant help but to feel like there's some sort of meaning behind that, like she sings it for a reason
"It's official im going crazy."I think.
"So you never told me you could sing." I call up to her
"You never asked." She replies
"Have you ever did a duet?." I ask, i hope she doesn't think i want to sing with her.
Night gives a light chuckle and says "Last time i did one was when i was 14, Believe it or not it was with MacTavish."
"You are such a liar!." I reply, MacTavish singing? i cant even image it.
Just then looks down at me and says "No really i did it with him."
"Sense were on the subject, Did you know MacTavish before you joined the Task Force or something?." I ask
She frowns slightly as she jumps off her bunk
"Well yes, i did, but its a bit more complicated then that." She says
"I'm waiting." I say with a patient tone
She sighs and begins "I had just turned 14 when i ran away from a orphanage, It was awful so i ran, i made my way around some how got food, the orphanage reported me missing, so i was running from that as well..."
Night chuckles as if a memory came back to her "I some how managed to get to Ukraine."
"The hell?. I reply "You were 14 and you got to Ukraine from England?."
"Aye, it took quite the effort but i did, and that's when it happened."
I raise my eyebrows
"I had ended up in a abandoned town, i slept in a basement of a house, there was food shelter water, it was perfect, But i woke the same night from a ton of firing."
Night sighs then continues "i had went upstairs only to see a guy laying dead on my porch, i forced myself to not scream and i took his pistol, i saw men heading towards my house, i went back to the basement and hid there, and low and behold they came down, when one was called 'Captain' i knew i would aim for him first and see if they could get me the hell out of there."
"How did you know they were friendly's?." I ask
She throws me a smug look then says "They had British and Scottish, there leader went right pass me, and that's when i struck i pulled my arm around his throat and put the pistol to his head."
Night laughs then says "He could of got out of that in several different ways, but he didn't. when they finally agreed to take me with them i let him go." She sighs then lets her fingers go to her neck, she holds the ring.
"Did MacTavish give it to you?." I ask
She laughs in return "No, His Captain gave it too me."
"And who is he?." I press
"Captain Price." Despite Nights smile i can see bitterness behind her eyes. This just doesn't add up.
I frown at the name
"I knew him." I mutter quietly
Her eye's light up "What happened to him?."
"He died, in a mission, it was known as Operation Kingfish."
She stiffly looks down at the ground "He was like a father to me."
I suddenly don't want to talk about Price anymore, The old man was stubborn don't get me wrong but i always looked up to him as some sort of role model.
"So what happened afterwards."
Night looks up then says "I some how got roped into a few of there crazy missions, They were such good memory's, When the General found out about me they had no choice but to send me away, I left for London, i kept tabs on them ever since."
"And this is what influenced you to go into the Military in the first place?." I guess
She doesn't answer, Instead Night sits in a chair and stares at me for awhile, after a long silence she finally says
"You know, you remind a lot of a old friend."
I'm taken back by her saying this "Is that a good thing?." I dare ask
"Yes." She replies with a sad nod, she then goes to her bag and digs through it, after awhile she holds a photo in her hand, Night sits beside me and shows me the photo,
"This is the team." Night explained
There was a bunch of soldiers all holding weapons
"That's Price and MacTavish." She points to them, Price look's much younger so does MacTavish as well,
"That's Gaz, You have no idea how much you remind me of him." Night gives a bitter laugh
"And there's me." She points to a teenage girl, She looks different much different. She wears a tank top with a jean jacket, flair jean with pistol holsters on her thighs, She also wears her hair up in a high pony tail, she holds a sniper, she's back to back with 'Gaz'
"You look much different." I say
she nods she then continues with the rest of the team
"Does this explain everything?." Night finally asks
"At the moment, yes." I answer
"Good cause im tired." Night says as she climbs back into her bunk.
I shake my head at this then turn out the lights.
I'm not the least bit tired though,
This is going to be a long night.
Hey wassup people?! First off i want to say i am sooo sorry for not updating in the past 3 weeks or so :P I've just been flat out lazy, but i finally bring you this chapter, I'm not sure how legit Night's first mission is, but whatever i was also to lazy to write it properly (if that makes sense) :P, Ghost manages to weasel some more info from Night as well 3, I kinda feel bad for Ghost, he thinks way to much about Night, and she barely thinks of him :P lol anyways i enjoyed writing this chapter, Ehh sorta. But here it is, also the song Night sings is "Stand up" By FireFlight. and also just to say this now, There's probably gonna be some strong language through out the rest of the story, anyways im out, FREE CHEESECAKE FOR EVERYONE 3
(P.s. i was way to lazy to check for spelling mistakes so i apologize, but i will probably later on clean it up)
Sincerely Red Dawn Shadow.
