Red Dead Redemption: The Legacy [Rewrite]

[9]

The next morning, Abigail's voice screeches from across the hall. I groan. "Hey! Some of us are trying to sleep!" I exclaim out the door. She glares at me. "Maybe you should mind your business," She snaps. "Abigail," John says firmly. "We're sorry. We will keep it down," I roll my eyes. "Whatever," I close my door before sitting back down at my table. Sanity's torn up vest is laying on top. I grab a needle, sewing up what was left of the tears. "It's just like Sanity to fight a fucking lion," I mutter to myself. A knock comes to my door just as I finish up his vest. "Err... Morgan?" I look towards the door. A nervous Sean stands in the doorway. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Sanity's... freaking out," I raise a brow. "Why?" Sean gives me a look. I grab the vest and follow Sean out.

Sanity's pacing back and forth in his room, turning it upside down. Sean and I enter the room. He doesn't give a second thought to the door opening and closing. I asked him what he was looking for, but he just ignored me. "Sanity," He continues to shuffle through his things. "San–" He starts throwing his clothes everywhere, ignoring his surroundings. "Sanity Van Der Linde!" Sanity quickly turns around, wondering who the hell was raising their voice at him. His blue eyes land on me and what's in my hand. I hold it up to him. "Someone had to fix it," I throw it at him. He catches it, putting it on as quick as he could. "You could've said something," He mutters. "Mhm," I wave him off as I walk out of his room, leaving Sean and Sanity alone.

Sanity stares at the tonic bottle sitting on his desk. He glares at it before snatching it up, ripping the cork off and chugging it. As he did so, his door opens and closes. Assuming it was Sean, he didn't say anything. He heard a zipper move and that's when his eyes shift to the door. Bill stands there, unbuttoning and unzipping his pants. "What the fu–" Bill pushes Sanity up against the wall, covering his mouth. "You let Sean fuck you and even that O'Driscoll boy. It's my fucking turn. And no one's going to stop me from getting what I want, Little Bell, just like I did when you were 14, Remember~?" He says in a gruff voice, purposely using Sanity's true last name. Sanity tries to push up against Bill but that just makes the man more excited. He throws Sanity against the bed, slipping his pants down. "You know, it's just too bad, Little Morgan won't be joining us," Bill's voice distorts as Sanity tries to break away from Bill. Sanity elbows Bill's gut, knocking him away from Sanity. He falls onto the floor, giving Sanity time to get his pants up and run out of the room.

I walk out from behind the house only to find Sanity run out and hide behind Micah. Micah pushes Sanity to the ground before kicking him a few times. "Piece of shit kid," He mutters under his breath before walking away. I stare at him confused. Dutch tries to help him up, but he pushes Dutch away. He gets up slowly, in pain. I turn my gaze to the house. Bill walks out adjusting himself. My confused stare disappears real quick. It's replaced with an enraged expression. "What the hell is your deal, Little Morgan?" Bill questions gruffly. I glance towards Sanity. Sanity's keeping to himself. Diablo goes to nuzzle the black haired male, but Sanity pushes him away. I stare at Sanity, my rage growing. Sanity looks at Diablo, realizing what he had done and gently pets Diablo's nuzzle in apology.

Sanity stays near Diablo, the blue roan stands in a protective stance in front of Sanity. "ELISA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Arthur and Sanity run to the commotion. Bill was holding his nose on the ground, blood on his hands. "What the hell!? You bitch!" Bill exclaims. I stand above him, his blood on my fist. "Mr. Morgan! Sanity! We've got a problem. A real problem. It's Tilly," Miss Grimshaw goes over to one of the wagons, grabbing a pistol. Arthur looks between me and Miss Grimshaw. "What?" He inquires. "She's been taken by them Foreman Brothers she used to run with," Miss Grimshaw looks at me. "You, too, Miss Morgan!" She demands as the four of us walk to the wagon. I look back at Bill, who was yelling at everyone. Sanity and I whistle for our horses. "The Foreman Brothers? What are they doin' here?" Arthur asks. "I don't know what they've been doing here, but i can tell you what they're going to be doing here... dying," Arthur nods. "Sure. Do we need more guns?" Arthur asks. "The four of us can handle this, Arthur," Arthur and Miss Grimshaw get on the wagon as Sanity and I mount our horses. "I'll tell ya on the way. Just get going," Arthur whisps the reins, heading towards Rhodes.
