Tracker ?James Conrad x Reader

||Chapter Eight||

"No. I'll go. I'm lighter and I can travel faster. I'll do it." I said. Conrad looked at me with pleading eyes. I shook my head and took the flare from Mason. "We'll buy you time." Conrad said. I nodded in response.

"I love you." I said to Conrad before kissing him in the lips, full of passion and love, before running away.

This is for my dad.

For Mason.

For Conra— James. Yeah. James. I think I can call him James again.

For everybody.

I started climbing up the mountain. I didn't want to waste time. I gasped as I saw Cole stop, not following the others. Mills was crying. Cole open two grenades and awaited for the arrival of the crawler.

The crawler was smart though, it wacked its tail, sending Cole flying to a nearby mountain, exploding in the process. I stopped my tears from falling and climbed faster.

I had no idea what was happening anymore. I arrived at the top and shot the flare. That's when I saw Kong fighting the crawler.

Kong was pushed back by the crawler's tail and ended up being held down by the chains of the ship we saw before.

The crawler or 'The Big One' was about to end Kong's life if it wasn't for Houston and the others ( in the ploat) who started firing bullets at the crawler.

The crawler, drawn by the gunshots, ran towards them, James then called out for it, letting it chase him away from the others.

Is he an idiot or what?

I loaded another flare and shot it straight to the crawler's eyes. I smirked as it seemed to be in pain, not noticing Kong escaping the chains and attacking it from behind.

I was too busy breathing heavily, keeping my friends protected, that I didn't even notice myself falling. I had no idea how I fell though. All I knew was that Kong was fighting, the mountain I was in being hit, then the fall.

I gasped as I tried to reach for something to hold. Grass, dirt, whatever I can hold to keep my up, but nothing was there.

I feel on the water, the impact knocking me out to the eternal abyss.

Is this the end?

Am I going to be with my dad?

Am I ready to leave James Conrad behind? The king of my heart? My body and soul? Am I?

~°~•~°~•~°~

I coughed out water from my lungs, opening my eyes, which was red from all the water that entered it.

I looked up and saw James, eyes full of tears and a huge smile on his face. We were both sitting down on the ground, dirty from the grass and wet from the water.

"Are you insane! You almost died! I promised to marry you but how can I if you're nothing but dead flesh!" I chuckled and pulled his head for a kiss, on which he gladly returned.

"I told you James Conrad, No one can kill me that easily." I said with a smirk and a wink. He hugged me tightly as if I would disappear if he lets me go.

"Y/n!" I heard someone yell, I shot up and saw Mason, running towards me and stealing me away from James.

"You almost died! Goodness I swear I'd kill you if you died!" I looked at her in confusion. That doesn't make any sense. Well, not anything has to be.

"I'm fine. What happened anyways? All I remember was falling and darkness." That was true. Who saved me? Everyone was too far from me to even safe me.

"Kong picked you up and saved you from being eaten by the crawler. I then.... gave you a mouth to mouth." James looked away with a sly smirk and a blush.

I raised an eyebrow and punched him playfully. "You seem so proud of what you've done. Who are you? The God of Mischief?"

He girnned and stood up, helping me with him. When I was fully standing up, he pulled me to his chest and whispered in my ear, "I could be if you want me to be."

Mason pulled me away from James, hugging me like a mother would and rolled her eyes. "Hey. Keep away. She's still young."

James huffed and pulled me back to him. "I'm marrying her anyway so deal with it." I chuckled and shook my head.

Dad, if you were here, I hope that you're proud of me. I sure hope you are...
