Ah hey guys. I ended up with a new laptop since my other one broke and apologies for not uploading any chapters, so I've been thinking that I want to make the story full-on first person, I think that would make the story much better but it will change perspectives as per usual. So next chapter I'm gonna try first person if you guys like it I'll keep it if not I'll switch back. I'm hyped to drop the next chapter I have begun writing it and so excited to introduce some new people.
Faith sat down on the bed and thought, she hadn't talked to anyone since Ari found her escape. Ever since then he's been going back and forth with loads of supplies he had about three cars already the ATV a peggie truck and another ATV. Ari hardly said anything to her other than "Ear have this," or "What up" he only said things when he was delivering faith her food. He kept his word with leaving her to herself which she respected.
But the loneliness reminded her of her past, she would be locked up in her room not letting anyone in. She would sit in her room sobbing from the abuse she had just endured. Faith kept on thinking about Ari's generosity he made her food every day although she could do it herself, he would give her some things like books, and other things to keep her entertained. But each moment of silence drove her insane she hated how little she saw Ari.
She still didn't trust him but felt paranoid around him she felt like she betrayed the father, she had forgiven Ari because of how he forgave her with all she had done. Torture, murders, manipulation. Ari did destroy all her projects took over her outposts also killed her people, she feared the father and what he would do to her if he found out that faith had left him and join his enemy. The father did drug her but he did erase her suicidal thoughts and she felt as if she had. Purpose.
Ari was finishing off his supplies haul. He was running all around the place trying to find anything of use or something that faith or he would like. Ari loaded everything he had found and thrown it at the back of the peggie truck. Ari was the type of person who thinks about things for a long time he remembered his small chat with faith a week ago remembering how she had lost trust in him. He kept trying to think of outcomes that would have dodged that conversation, and he concluded never leaving her alone. Even though he was out of the cabin day and night.
But Ari needed some breathing time. By the time Ari had finished the sun was setting he hopped onto the car and started to drive, Ari kept thinking of the words faith had said to him and it really hurt him when he heard her say those things. Ari scrapped his thoughts and moved onto music he turned up the volume of the radio he could hear really depressing sounds.
He heard most of the songs when he liberated an outpost, the peggies had a weird sense of taste for music but Ari liked the sad songs that played. He knew the first one it was 'we will rise again' he remembered that each member had their own type of music it was all the same songs with different tones faith having a more sad and instrumental album john with a choir and Jacob with a casual type of music. Ari usually listened to sad songs when he was back in California.
Ari had driven for 45 minutes till he reached the cabin which was good since the whole album had ended by the time he reached. The sun was sitting on the hills at the time Ari got out of the car. He unloaded all the contents and put half in the bunker and the rest in the cabin. He entered the kitchen surprised to see a familiar face making some food.
"Well, what do we have e're, ay," Ari said trying to have an Aussie accent. The woman jolted back and looked at him in utter shock. Ari moved towards her smiling but trying not to look like a creep."Whatcha' making." She once again didn't respond but just point at her creation. It was sushi, one of Ari's favorite food. "Ya, know that's like my favorite food." Faith seemed to smile when Ari had said that but it lasted only a second then it went back to neutral. "Mind I help?" Faith nodded and agreed to his question. "So what shall I do then?"
"Rolling up all the contents, since I've already finished creating everything when you were gone."
"Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy," Ari said skipping around in joy. "But have you fed the 3 beasts?" Ari asked
Faith nodded and instructed Ari to roll up the sushi. He did the first roll very bad it was falling apart and rice was everywhere but Faith fixed it all up for him making it look 'normal.' He made a second roll this time it was a bit better but it wasn't proper circular but faith once again fixed it for him and cut them up into pieces.
"We done now?" Ari asked
"Yes we have finished"
The two walked over to the couches Ari slumped down on the one where he had been sleeping for the past week and faith sat on the couch across it.
"Why did you decide to make food, ay?' Ari asked raising his eyebrow
Faith looked up and looked at him and raised her shoulders then looked back down to devour a piece of sushi. she started to speed up her eating every time Ari was going to ask a question. Ari was trying his best to start a conversation but he kept on remembering his promise to faith.
Ari had finished before faith "Hey it's been quite a quiet week then huh... Well ah. Do you wanna play a game It'll probably be a good pass time?" Faith didn't answer but did nod "why are you sulking come on speak up"
"Yes," She said sounding a bit jaded.
"Ahh, at last, I've heard someone talk other than myself self," Ari said trying to have one of those medieval accents.
"So what do you want to play? Tag? Eyes spy? watch hentai?" Ari's voice crackled "Umm, so what do you choose."
"Err... How. About just chatting you know get to know each other."
"Yes... yeah that sounds better than the crap I've just listed, wasn't it"
Faith yawned
"Alright, Ra-f-faith your up first unless you want me to go first."
"You go first, I've already told you some of my past, but you've never said anything about yours."
"Well sure, kinda expected that. Ah, so alright let's begin... So one of the biggest things about me is that... I like trains."
Ari started to laugh like a mad man, he nearly fell off his seat. Faith facepalmed and sighed.
"You're, an idiot"
"Hey. that. Not nice." Ari said sarcastically "But now it's your turn. If you tell me something about yourself I'll tell you my deepest darkest secret that no one knows."
"Fine but you better not mess around"
"Deal" Ari smile
"OK so, my favorite place to go when I was a child was the Henbane River. It was relaxing and never did I hear anyone else unless you count the hunters but I was one with nature."
"Huh, is that why you roamed around barefoot around Henbane or is there some other reason."
"I don't specifically know the reason for why I roamed around barefooted but the father said that it was to fit the Faith Seed costume."
"Oh, OK. And as promised, my darkest secret ever, as I mean ever no one knows about this not even my close mates. But I never liked trains I like planes."
Faith's face seemed to redden "You're a sack of shit aren't you."
She got up and started to walk away from Ari
"Wait but I'm not lying it's true I've always told my mates tha-that" Ari's voice lowered down from a whisper to dread.
Gosh, I suck ass, man I should be more honest with her ever since that incident from before. Ari looked up and heard the bedroom door close. I'll make up for it tomorrow yeah she might think that I'm an ass but a nice ass.
Ari sat on the couch sitting there for as long as he could remember until he heard thumping at the door he leaped to his feet and sneaked to check the window it was pitch black outside so Ari couldn't tell if it was peggies rolling up at his door or one of his mates.
"Hey, Amigo let me in it freezing out here"
It was Hurk Ari swiftly ran towards the door and greeted his fellow teammate and friend.
"Hurky boy"
"Womanizer"
They did their secret handshake and laughed while walked inside.
"Hurk been a while mate. Hows shit been, you find any hoochies, yet"
"No, not yet I'm still wanting to smash Faith you know."
Ari laughed nervously "Yeah I know exactly what you mean."
"Amigo, tomorrow do you want to come along fishing with me you know we've just liberated Faith's region we only have Jacob to go then we can face off against the Father."
"Know what, sure I've been running around and taking supplies and shit and placing them at the bunker. I think it'll be a good way to cool off."
"Great, amigo it's been settled we meet up tomorrow at the Henbane River."
"Ah, Hurk has Jess said anything about Faith being alive? has she been acting strange at all?"
"Why do you say, she's been the same tempestuous mood. Haha, I've finally got to use that big boy word."
"Good for you then. But mate can you keep secrets"
"YES"
"Alright, you better not tell anyone not even sharky you got it but Faith never died. I saved her I felt remorse, I felt sympathetic towards her."
"You saved her and didn't tell me."
"Yeah, yeah I know but I don't know where she I saved her but the bliss made me hallucinate and see multiple faith's so I couldn't tell her apart. But before I knew it Boomer was licking at my face staring at me. But since that day I haven't seen her."
"Well me and you, we will find her one day you hear me and I'll make her my wife."
Ari laughed "Sure buddy well see ya tomorrow. It's getting late and we probably are going to need some rest, you want me to drop you off at the bar or wherever you need to go."
"No, no it's good I just came by to see my old pal. I'll see you tomorrow then. Sweet dreams amigo."
