Western Expansion

Lost

(May's dad POV)
"I'm afraid I have to go out there." I said to Meagan, my girlfriend.

"Ok, but I'm going with you." Meagan said crossing her arms over her chest.

"No you're not." I said tightening my belt.

"Yes I am, and you can't stop me." She said

"No I can't, but your not coming. You don't understand the danger out there." I said grabbing my gun and walked out of the house.

She followed me still wanting to come.

"I don't care. I love you Samuel, and I'm coming with you." She said

I smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Fine, let's go. I already told Mr.Brown that I'm leaving." I said as I helped her over the horse. With a canteen around my body and a gun in its holster, Meagan and I rode out to the desert to find my daughter.

The warm air blew at me as the sun fell.

"I think we should rest." Meagan said

"Yea your right." I said and stopped the horse.

"We should of told her about you and I." Meagan said as I began to water the horses.

"Not yet. " I said

"Why not?" She asked

"Because, it was only recently that her mother died, and you want me to tell her that I already have a girlfriend?" I said to her my voice rising.

"I guess telling her would be harsh, but I hate keeping our relationship a secret. One way or another, she's going to find out." Meagan said

"Your right, she will find out, but not today or tomorrow. Once we find her and she rests a couple of days, then I will tell her about us. Ok?" I said

"Fine. I'm going to sleep." She said

"Ok, I love you Meagan." I said while putting a cotton blanket over her.

"I love you too." She said and fell asleep.

The next morning was not as expected.

"Wake up or we shoot." Someone said

I slowly opened my eyes and saw someone standing over me with a gun pointed at me.

"Who are...?" I said before the person interrupted.

"Shut up and get up or I blow your brain out." The person said and moved back for me to stand up.

"Ok...ok... what's the matter?" I said and got a better view of the person holding the gun.

An Indian was threatening me. Behind the Indian was Meagan, her arms tied behind her back and gagged. She mumbled something I couldn't quite understand but fell silent as the Indian behind her put a knife to her neck.

"Please don't hurt her..." I said

"Shut up." The Indian said and knocked me out from the gun
