[ A Farcry Fanfic ] Remember The Sins

[12] Sins Of The Father

"This is Carmen calling in, Maxwell has escaped, he held me at knife point, I'm fine but I'm going to go searching, he was last seen by the Boyd house" she paused for a moment, thinking about the wrath John would have for her,

Carmen sat her radio down
"Fuck, why am I helping you, I don't even know you"

"I could say the same thing, I don't know what it is but I trust you, and I don't even know your name "

"I'm Carmen, you're Max right?"

"Yeah, uh Maxwell actually, Maxwell Bahl"

"Cute name"

"Thanks, you coming into town? Might not want to head back so soon"

"I don't think I'm going to be welcomed into Falls End" she gestured to the cult symbol on her sweater

"I'd lend you a shirt but.." he moved his hand to his chest

"Yeah, it's fine, I'm wearing a tank top underneath, I'll just wear that"

She pulled off her sweater, revealing her sin, LUST.

"Lust eh? Makes sense" Max winked at her causing her to blush once again

They parked outside of town, and started walking. Max led the way making sure to keep an eye on his surroundings

"So, Max. You're resistance right?"

"Uh yeah, but now I'm not too sure, Joseph's ideas make sense, but I don't agree with his methods" Max cursed himself under his breath, why is he trusting her, She's the enemy

"I understand what you mean, back when this first started it was amazing, we were all there willingly, but things went downhill, I'm not going to lie I've had my doubts, and now after meeting you, my opinions has changed, I still believe in Joseph, but his methods are straying from our original purpose"

"Careful though, we both have our bad sides we torture just the same, though here in Falls End it's a little different, are you well known in the cult?"

"Well, uh, I'm a recruiter, most the people who came from here met me" she bowed her head down "honestly I'm right below the Heralds"

Max stopped in his tracks noticing her shame he pulled her chin up and kissed her once again

"If you convert to our side, that is just proof everyone can change" his eyes looked warm and caring, he didn't seem to judge her actions like most would

They walked into Falls End and Carmen immediately got nervous, she was walking into the camp of the enemy, she tried to hide herself behind Max's muscular arms
"God, he's built" Carmen thought to herself.

"I remember the first time I entered falls end, I was fourteen I think, just got adopted, and honestly I thought the town was bleak as hell. Luckily Mary May's parents gave me a job, I knew from the beginning I had to get out"  Max was admiring the town
"Come on, he should be in the church"

Hope and John were walking up the stairs. By the time they had reached to surface John's radio clicked,

This is Carmen calling in, Maxwell has escaped, he held me at knife point, I'm fine but I'm going to go searching, he was last seen by the Boyd house"

John's grip on the radio tightens, causing the plastic to make a crackling noise.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!" John screamed out, kicking over a barrel nearby

"Brother John, are you alright?" A follower walked over, he looked concerned

John didn't hesitate to punch, causing them to fall down,  with one swift kick the follower let out a deep grunt, they were winded and moaning, John took a deep breath and straighten out his silky blue dress shirt
"Find Carmen and bring her here, she has risked the success of the project"  He stepped over the follower

"Yes...John" they pushed themselves up and limped over twords the wall

"Alright, everyone gather around!" John wasn't even trying to hide his anger
"Maxwell has escaped, I want everyone of you to go out and look for him, you will search every inch of the lands,  and no one is sleeping till we find him"  John was barking the orders
All of his followers was staring captivated at him, he was sill charismatic even though in this moment he was pure Wrath. one of the cultists was brave enough to step forward they were wearing heavy combat gear, along with a full facemask

"But brother John, most of us have been working since last night, now that the Reaping has begun we've been having to work overtime! There is no way we can do this"
The cultist walked forwards, removing their helmet, it was a girl, early twenties, had a tattoo of the cult symbol on her forehead her hair was somewhat short and shaved on one side.

"Tsk tsk, Paige, that isn't the power of Yes" John called her forward, she was visibly frightened by John. John unhooked his holster, pulling out the gun

"If you weren't our best convoy driver I'd have you killed, instead I'll have to go with this" he pulled her forward shooting her arm, she fell down in agonizing pain he let out a loud chuckle, he was amused by himself
"Anyone else feel like saying no?" He paused waiting for an answer, but it was just crickets. Complete silence
"I didn't think so"  he pointed at two guards and commanded them to take her to get medical attention

"What the fuck was that John? You can't just act like they aren't people.
