Chapter 14 - Chapter 13- Hereford

(August 15th,2016)

[Hereford, UK]

Price and Nat sat in the shooting range with Simon and Soap, all of them reminiscing on old memories and sharing new ones. Music plays in the background and everything felt right in the world.

"Let's raise a glass to Freedom, something the Russians can never take away." Nat smiles, holding her bottle of whiskey to a toast.

Soap raises his glass, "Tomorrow there'll be more of us."

Price says in a somber tone, "Simon, I need you to promise me something."

Natalie's smile fades as Simon says, "What is it?"

"Promise me that you will take care of her and Nat,I ask you to do the same for him."

"We will." They both say.

Soap noticed that Nat got pale and he asked, "Lass? Are you alright."

She sighs,"Remember how I told you that Makarov captured me in his safehouse and that I got drugged?"

Price and Simon nod.

"Afterwards I woke up fucked up from the drugs," She says, "Makarov left me to die in Chernobyl. I woke up in an abandoned village to a wolf biting on my leg."

"How did you survive?" Simon asks in a shocked tone.

"I ate rats and corpses; I had broken bones from falling because I had to climb buildings. I had no gear and was stuck there for weeks before I realized no one was coming to rescue me. Until a Russian man found me starved and burned by Radiation. I woke up in a hospital and got my hands on a phone then as you know I got rescued."

Price gently took Nat's hand and said, "We will kill Makarov, I promise you that."

Nat nods and quickly blinks away her tears. Soap glances at the television which shows a reporter talking about Makarov as Simon watches with absolute hatred in his eyes.

Later that Night Nat and Soap went to the room they still shared, and Nat sat on her bed with Soap next to her. It was silent until Soap spoke up.

"Lass" He murmurs and turns to her, "I love you, I've wanted to tell you for so long. I love how you don't take shit from anyone and how you fight with everything you have. How you take charge and keep our spirits up when we need it most."

Nat crawls into his lap and leans into his strong chest.

"I still remember when I first saw you. I swear I forgot my own name," His hand goes under her chin, making her look up at him. Her eyes are filled with Love as she leans up and kisses him.

Soap's hands go into her long hair then he leans down and kisses down her jawline then her neck. Nat lets out a whimper and bites her lip as Soap kisses her sweet spot, her body melts into his touch. Every kiss made her give in to the pleasure. Her hands rest on his biceps as he lays her down and smiles when he gets on top of her.

"Tonight I'll love you like you've never felt before." He whispers in her ear as he places kisses to her neck. The moonlight shone in from the window onto her face and most of her body. He pulls away momentarily, and his eyes wander her face, he took in the beauty of her eyes, her soft pink lips and her warm skin.

"What?" She breathes out and looks up at him,

"You're so damn beautiful Lass," He smiles and tenderly kisses her neck.

A quiet moan escaped her lips when he kisses down her chest and undid her bra. He takes his shirt off then unbuckles his belt and gets his boots off, then he does the same to her. He then kisses down her chest to her stomach, and Nat smiles and squirms a bit because she's ticklish. Soap chuckles and eagerly takes off her pants.

"Do you want this?" He looks affectionately at her,his hungry eyes softened.

"Yes." She whispers.

Soon after they both hit their climax Soap lays next to her and gently pulls her into his arms.Nat falls asleep with her head on his chest.

"What we do with her?" Said a man with a harsh Russian accent.

"Leave her here." Makarov says.

"Yes Sir."

Nat's eyes barely open when Makarov says to her. "Natalie, my dear, Hell awaits you."

She woke up on the ground with her black shirt and pants covered in dirt. When her vision cleared, she got up. Abandoned buildings for miles. She frantically calls for help. Silence.

Day 1. She wandered around the city, her head pounds and her body yearns for food and water. The only thing she hears is leaves crunching as she walks aimlessly. Her sunken eyes burn from staying open. She desperately hopes for rescue.

Day 5. She ate a stray dog and vomited from it. She drank radioactive water to survive. She's slept in an abandoned apartment on a filthy bed.

Day 10. Her skin burns from radiation. Her lungs feel tight, and her body gets weak from lack of food and water.

Day 15. She can barely walk, and her body is skin and bones by this point.

Day 21. A Russian voice nearby made Nat perk up. A flashlight shined in the dark.

"Is anyone here?" The man with the Russian accent shines a flashlight around the abandoned apartment.

"Yes!" She rasps and frantically tries to get off the bed, but she fell onto her bruised knees so she crawled to the doorway, "I-I'm here!"

Nat woke up and sat up in a cold sweat. Soap woke up confused then he saw her and he realized.

"Lass?" He wraps his arms around her again, "Was it a nightmare?"

"More like a flashback then a nightmare." She whispers.

He kisses her head then lays with her, "Try to get some sleep lass."

The next morning Nat woke up to Soap tenderly stroking her hair.

"Morning Lass." He says in that deep morning voice.

Nat smiles, "Morning Handsome."

He tenderly kisses her before he says, "Maybe we should just stay in bed all day."

She leans into his gentle touch, "But we still have to do our work."

He chuckles and says, "But don't you want to say in bed with me Lass?"

She grins and kisses him before she gets out of bed and gets dressed. She bites her lip seeing his muscular chest and abs.

"Like what you see?" He smirks and places his hands behind his head.

"Keep teasing me and we'll have to have round 2." She smirks as she puts her black jacket on.

She vacated the room and Shepherd approaches her.

"I need to see you in my office." He says.

"Yes Sir." She takes a deep breath and walks with him into his office.

She sat down at the chair in front of his desk. Shepherd leans against his desk in front of her with his arms crossed.

"So you have disobeyed my orders, I told you last mission to keep the radio on, and you didn't."

"I'm sorry Sir." She forces out an apology.

He leans forwards and places his hand on her thigh. She tensed up and tried not to react.

"I believe you owe me something." His hand went higher.

"I don't owe you anything." She grits her teeth and gets up.

Shepherd backed her into the wall,"Stop fighting."

"Get off me." She grits her teeth and struggles when he pins her wrists above her head.

"It will only make it worse if you struggle, you know this." He kisses her neck.

She let out a whimper and tries to forcefully push him away. She tried calling out of help, but Shepherd just put his hand over her mouth. He then gave up and let go of her.

"You tell anyone about what we do, and I will make sure you never see your father and your brother again." He says in her ear with a firm grip on her arm.

"It's been five years Shepherd." She grits her teeth, "Stop."

He merely laughs and says, "I'm going to have my fun with you for as long as I want."

Nat got out of his crushing grip and got out of his office. She has to try her best to keep a straight face like nothing happened. She passed by her father's room and heard two voices behind the door, and she stopped walking to listen.

"Something's up with Nat and Shepherd. I can't prove it, but I have a gut feeling."It sounded like Ghost.

"I know, there's nothing we can do until there's physical proof, and Shepherd wouldn't fess up to that if we asked." It sounds like Price.

It was hard to hear the rest and she kept walking when she heard one of them about to open the door.

"Natalie?"
