When the West calls (Micah Bell x OC)

Chapter 3

When he woke up, it was pitch black. Micah could not say what time of the day it was or for how long he has been out. He could only guess it has been a while, with how his whole body was aching and how thirsty he was. He was sat on a cold, hard floor, his shoulders were tied behind his back to a pole.

Now that he was more awake, he tried to assess the situation. Clearly, he had no idea where he was. But Micah did not have more time to think as he heard loud footsteps just above him. He straightened his position, trying to get ready for whatever was coming at him. The footsteps stopped not too far from him and he could finally see some light coming from under the closed door. He then heard the sound of a lock and the door opening.

"Oh! Look who's finally awake" the man who entered the room almost sang, a dreadful smile forming on his scarred face "Now we can play" he added, coming closer to Micah.

"Slow down Luis, maybe our guest will agree to talk by himself" a second man entered the room. He was taller, with a calm expression on his face that matched the tone of his voice "Forgive my brother, he's a bit... impatient".

Micah looked at the man with a scoff, not adding a word.

"I reckon you're Micah Bell, one of Dutch Van der Linde men" the tall man started, but this time, Micah decided to cut him.

"You're well informed" he said, his usual smirk starting to appear again on his face, even if he was aware of not being in a comfortable position.

"I am. And I am Alejandro Reyes, the man you stole from. I want my gold back" the man named Alejandro spoke again, this time more harshly "So either you tell me nicely where you hide our gold, or I let my brother take the information out of you. You'll probably understand why he's called "Mad Dog"" he added while sitting on a stool in front of Micah.

"I ain't telling you shit!" Micah spat, looking at Alejandro straight in the eyes.

"Well, what a shame" Alejandro sighed as he lazily stood up "Luis, he's all yours" he last said before exiting the room, his brother letting out a weird noise as he got close to Micah.

"We'll have fun, you'll see" Luis said with a crooked smile before punching Micha in the face.

It was pitch black again. Micah was now laying on the floor and could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. He tried to move, but groan loudly as he did. The bastard really messed him up. He probably had a few bruised ribs, and he could feel dried blood sticking on his face.

What a mess.

Micah was about to fall asleep when he heard footsteps approaching. He sat straight, cursing as the pain shot through his ribcage. The door opened, making him glare at the person entering.

But he was surprised to see not Alejandro or his insane brother, but instead an angel. At least that what he thought for a split second, the thought almost making him laugh if the situation was not so bad.

She stopped a moment at the door, not expecting to see him awake already. She then closed the door and walked carefully towards Micah, her hands holding a heavy-looking basket and a lantern. Micah's attention went to her skirt, white, slightly shorter on the front, letting him see her ankles as she walked. Finally, he saw her again.

"I brought you some food and water" she said as she kneeled in front of him and took out a jar of water and some cans of food.

Micah hurried to drink a large amount of water, his throat being dry since he first woke up here. After opening some canned salmon, he looked at the woman in front of him.
