Aversion - Simon ''Ghost'' Riley x Reader

Chapter 12

[Ghost]

I'm pacing around in a small dark room. After the host took y/n to dance with her, I wanted to do some more solo investigating. But before I knew it I was hit in the back of the neck and I woke up here. Locked up.

A cold, damp stone chamber which I am assuming is in the basement of the mansion. But since there are no windows, I can't be sure.

They knew we were spies. Probably from the moment we arrived.

The host picking Y/N wasn't at random, this was planned.

God, I hope she is okay. Who knows what that man would do to her..

The worry and uncertainty is getting to me.

Once I woke up I tried reaching her over the earpiece, but no response. Only static.

I keep trying, growing frustrated as it still doesn't work.

I let out a loud grunt as I hit the solid stone wall with my fist. ''Goddamn it..'' I mutter under my breath.

Suddenly I hear two sets of footsteps approaching, stopping as they reach my cell.

I hear a loud click as the heavy metal door slowly opens. I prepare myself to fight, determined to break out and find y/n as soon as possible.

As the door fully opens, I feel myself nailed to the ground. My hands fall to my sides as I stare in disbelief.

Two henchmen stand in the opening, blocking it fully. One throws y/n at my feet. She hits the ground with a loud thud.

I kneel down at her instantly, instinctively checking her pulse.

Thank God, she is alive. I feel relieved even though seeing her unconscious still worries me.

I allow her head to rest on my chest as I am holding her up, my arms firmly around her.

The henchmen leave without saying a word, locking the door.

My focus is only on her. She looks peaceful, unharmed on the outside. Her chest slowly rises and falls, as she breathes softly through her mouth.But I worry as I notice a faint smell of alcohol mixed with.. something else. I can't place it, but I know instantly it's what caused her to lose consciousness. I have had enough training and experience to know.

''Y/n..'' I softly call her name, as I gently shake her.

''Wake up.. come on.'' My tone is soft, warm, yet stern as I can't take the uncertainty anymore.

After a few minutes she starts to slowly stir in my arms. Her cheek slowly moves along my chest as she starts to wake up.

Her eyes flutter, visibly disoriented as I try to comfort her.
''Easy..easy.. it's me.''

I feel her reaction as she seems to register my voice. ''Ghost..?'' Her voice is raspy, faint as she looks up meeting my gaze.

''I'm here..'' I say with a faint smile. ''How are you feeling?''

She grunts as she tries to sit up. I place my hand firmly on her back so she can rest against it.

''Im.. okay..'' She says still a bit faint as she holds her head in her hand.
''Bastard spiked my drink.'' she grumbles.

I nod, as I already suspected it. ''They figured us out'' I growl in frustration, my gaze on the metal door.

Y/N takes a deep breath, as she tries to come back to her senses. Her eyes are narrowed, her face looks a bit paler than usual.

''Where are we?'' she asks as she slowly scans the room.

''I don't know. But it's time to break out of here..'' I grunt, my gaze moving back to her.
