The next morning most of us were a bit groggy from the partying. I was outside siting in the gazebo with Mary-Beth sewing up a pair of pants Micah ripped. The rip might of involved a small red haired girl and a knife.
"Vanessa have you seen Kieran anywhere? I looked around for him earlier today but I couldn't find him" Mary-Beth spoke up.
"No sorry hun, I only saw him last night..he probably got so shit faced that he wandered out into the woods, he'll be back later probably" I explained.
She nodded her head as we continued in silence when suddenly a blood curdling scream was heard in the woods.
"What the fuck?" I muttered looking behind me.
"What was that?" Mary-Beth furrowed her brows in concern.
"I have no clue...maybe we should go check it out" I suggest.
"Let go"
Mary-Beth and I headed towards the horses and mounted Trudy. I kicked his sides as Mary-beth held onto me. Another scream was heard when we came close to a crumbling church. That's when we saw him. He was struggling from the ropes that tied him against a wall.
We sat on trudy with our mouth's held open as we saw that Kieran's eyes had been gouged out.
"Kieran!" Mary-Beth cried.
The men that held him captive shot up from where they sat and looked around the woods to see who let out the cry.
I held Mary-beth's mouth as we hid behind a tree.
Before the men could find us I head jumped off trudy taking Mary-Beth down with me as we crawled towards a large tree. Trudy bolted away as we did so.
I held Mary-Beth against me keeping my hand firmly against her head to try and calm her down.
"Are we going to send the trader back to his boys now?" One of the O'Driscoll's asked.
"First we got to finish him off" another man chuckled.
I peaked around the corner covering Mary-Beth's eyes as I saw one man lift up a machete and swing it slicing off Kieran's head as It thumped against the ground.
"God damn it" I sighed looking away.
I didn't know him for long but he was a helpful and kind man.
"Mary-Beth we need to go" I whispered carefully lifting her up off the ground as she tried to muffle her cries onto her hand.
We ran a far ways from the church before I whistled for Trudy. He came running towards us as we mounted up.
Arriving back at camp I jumped off Trudy helping Mary-Beth down as I pulled her towards the house as fast as I could.
"Everyone get inside! The O'Driscoll's are coming!" I shouted.
"Mrs. Bell what are you going on about?" Dutch yelled down from the balcony him and Arthur stood on.
"Thats what she's going on about" Arthur sighed pointing towards the horse trotting into camp with Kieran's dead body sat on it and his severed head in his lap.
"Kieran no!" Mary-beth screamed.
"Mary-beth we have to get inside!" I ordered pulling her shaking body into the manor.
I hurried her upstairs as the other women hurried around me to hide. Once Mary-beth was safe with Tilly I ran back downstairs looking for Abigail and the kids.
"Abigail!" I shouted.
"Over here!"
Abigail was hid behind one of the couches with Sara and jack in her arms.
"Thank god you're okay" I sighed in relief. "But we need to get upstairs"
Abigail nodded as she grabbed jack and handed her Sara as we crouched towards the stairs before running up them. I had finally gotten most of the girls safe upstairs. The only one left was Karen and Grimshaw but I saw them in one of the rooms downstairs shooting at the O'Driscoll's.
Now it was my turn to be in on the action. I pulled out my revolver and kicked one of the widow's shattering the glass as I aimed for the mens heads.
As the shooting went on bodies were spread across camp thankfully only being O'Driscoll bodies.
Thats when a wagon rode into camp with more men. I groaned jumping out of the window and began shooting at them. I ran towards the few hay bales for shelter only popping up a few times to shoot.
I didn't realize someone was behind me until I heard a gruff voice scream my name.
"Vanessa look out!" Micah screamed holding his gun up towards the man behind me about to stab me with a knife.
I felt a sharp pain the my stomach as my breathing began to shorten. My eyes watered up as I watched the man I loved shoot the O'Driscoll holding a now bloody knife in his hand. Micah hurried towards me with the look of fear in his eyes.
I had never seen him like this before, I guess he really did love me.
