"R-Rip..." I coughed out closing my eyes hearing him hollering to John and me. "Don't you die on me now. You hear me!"

A sharp ringing shoots through my head with blurry flashes of John bleeding beside me. Rip's terrified voice begging me to fight - to not die on me now. A crows screeching above my head with my body laying on the road. Is this my end. Will I never see Kayce again. Never see my daughter get to grow up. Squinting my eyes my vision lands on my engagement ring. Rip called Kayce once we're in his truck. But I hear his voice which calms me knowing he's alive. He's okay. The humming of a helicopter is the last thing I hear before passing out.

"This is our home, Kayce. This ranch is where we belong." I lay my head on his chest sitting on the porch swing watching the sunrise this morning. He turns my head to look up at him with me wearing his black dusty hat. "I don't wanna fight for a thing. I wanna fight for the people I love. You, Bree and Tate."

He gently kisses me on the lips. My hands go to run through his curly locks kissing him back. "I believe that too, cowboy. I'll always belong in your arms and by your side forever." He pulls me into snuggle in his comfortable embrace once more. "I'll love you until my last breaths."

Beeping meets my ears when I moaned in deep pain. Blinking my eyes I squint tightly at the bright hospital lights. Slowly looking around I see an iv sticking in my left hand and a hospital gown on me instead of my bloody clothes. "Shit...John?" He stares at me confused hooked up to a iv. Nurses put him back to bed before I see Beth rush in her face all jacked up. "B - beth." She comes to sit in my bedside chair brushing some hair from my face seeing me groan from my hip and feeling my left leg sore. "Y/n, everybody got fucked up." Clutching my eyes shut my heart beating faster. "K - Kayce. Bree - Tate?" She doesn't answer looking to my leg. "The doctor said you're injures were bad. You'll have a limp for the rest of your life. But you're bruised hip will heal."
John and I weakly leave the hospital but I'm walking with crutches. The ambulance doors open for me to see Rip who helped me out while John gets carried out on a stretcher.

My eyes catch something across the yard and I gasp stumbling down the stairs seeing Kayce dressed in all military clothing. "What are you doing?" John moans in pain after firing a nurse thr hospital sent to take care of him. Kayce looks only at his father replying with shifting his gun around to show the place he got shot at on his chest. "Hunting the people who attacked us." He's gotten revenge once before for people taking Tate and Bree. Now this revenge will hurt even more for coming for the rest of his family.

Tears fall from my eyes so fast I can barely make out his face. "Kayce..." I drop the crutches collapsing into his arms once he drops his gun. "I thought you were dead - I thought you died!" I sobbed into his shoulder. His arms securely hold me up lightly sobbing too. "I thought you were dead too. When I got the call - that you and my dad were dying. I - I - god I killed the son of a birches." Burying my face in his embrace I sob for a few minutes. Clutching his shirt in my small hands until I realized something. "Kayc - where's Bree and Tate?" He pulls my head back into his chest shooshing me and I complied clinging onto him for dear life.

The next morning John saddled a horse and I grab my horse groaning as I climbed on not following Kayce's cries. The doctors said I shouldn't ride for a month but the last time I left this ranch I got shot. I belong on this ranch and no where else. I ride down a hidden trail to escape him from following me. Stopping my horse I start to sob but for anger. Pulling out a handgun from my boot I clutch it cursing to myself. "If Kayce hadn't killed you son of a bitches. I'd be doing it myself. You tried to kill me and my family..." A horse galloped behind me and I lay my head on the horses mane still sobbing. "Baby, you can't be riding." Kayce steps up brushing my knotted hair from my face seeing it red and my eyes puffy.

"Honey let's get you back home-" I cut his sentence off choking. "Where's my home, Kayc?" His hands intertwine with my left kissing my wedding ring. "It's with me, Y/n. You and me forever." We slowly rode back to the barn my head staring off into the sky, flashing back to the crows above my head. My feet running to protect a kid and getting shot twice. Tate and Bree have trama of their own. Kayce's is from the war. But mine is by gunshots...my limping leg as a reminder. I'll never be the girl I once was...the girl who shared her daughter's innocence. She's dead. She died on the side of the road.

A kid was brought to the ranch named Carter. Honestly he completely acts like a child of Beth and Rip. John invested money in horses, a lot of horses. Leaning on my crutches wearing my torn dark brown hat and a green short sleeve shirt, torn blue jeans with ankle brown boots. Kayce rests his elbows on the fence watching me. Somehow I know he can read my expression of me trying to hide the nightmares that haunt my mind. "Kayce where's our daughter?" The question slipped from my lips. He hasn't told me for weeks and it's killing me.

"I can't tell you that baby." He shakes his head no walking away slowly. I hobbled after him not backing down. "Kayce I'm begging you - tell me where Bree is - where Tate is - ag!" My left leg shoots with pain having him race to hold me up by his right arm. "Damn it Y/n. I don't know. I don't know where they are!" His brown eyes filled with tears and I part my lips in shock. Where the hell is my child.
