Red Dead Redemption: The Legacy [Rewrite]

[14]

After a few days, Arthur and Charles found a place in Roanoke Ridge called Beaver's Hollow. The tents were set up outside some caves. Camp moral was lower than it has been. Since the deaths of Hosea, Lenny, and Sanity, things haven't been the same.

Sean stares at a chest near my tent. I walk over to him. "Sean?" He held a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He takes a swig of it before turning to me. "What is that doing here?" He asks. "I thought maybe you'd want something," He scoffs. "What's the point of any of it if he's not here?" Sean spat before walking away, taking another swig. I sigh deeply as I sat on the chest. "I found her Dutch! I found Miss O'Shea at a bar in Saint Denis," Uncle states. As Molly comes stumbling in. I look at her. "Miss O'Shea. Back and drunk again," Dutch states in annoyance. "It's Molly, you sack of shit!" She exclaims. Molly was exclaiming things while Dutch tried to calm her down. I stand up as everyone began to gather around. "I won't be ignored, Dutch Van Der Linde! You ignored Hosea and Sanity and look what happened to them!" She exclaims. "Don't you dare talk to me like that," Dutch states angrily. "I'll spit in your eye! I did! I told them," My eyes widened. "Told who what?" Dutch inquires. "Mr. Milton and Mr. Ross," "You what?" Dutch takes out his gun. As Arthur was trying to calm Dutch down, that's when I noticed Miss Grimshaw with the shotgun. As she raised it, I push my way to Molly, standing in front of her. "Elisa, what are you doing?" Miss Grimshaw exclaims. "I will not let you kill her," I state. "Elisa, get out of the way, now," Miss Grimshaw warns. I stare at the older woman. "What are you gunna do, miss Grimshaw? You gunna kill me too?" Miss Grimshaw lowers her gun. "She is a traitor," Dutch spat. "She is drunk and wants your attention!" Everyone stares at me. "Sanity cared very much about her and if you kill her... he would be upset," "Sanity is dead," Micah chimes. "Shut up, Micah," Arthur spat. "She's right, Dutch. Just let her go. Exile her like you did, Karen," Arthur moves in front of me and Molly. "Don't act like you know Micah's son," Dutch snaps. "Micah's son?" Arthur asked. "...Like you know my son... You have no right!" Dutch points to me. "You... should've died instead of him and Hosea," "Dutch," Dutch walks away into the caves. Arthur looks at me. I turn to Molly, she looks at me, tears in her eyes. I grab her hand, leading her away from camp. We both get on Salem and run off. Sean looks as everyone disperses. "Rose, come with me," Sean states. "Where are we going?" She asks as he picks her up. "We're going to follow your Aunties," He states as they both get on Ennis.

"Where are we going?" Molly asks as I sped through the trees. "I'm getting you to a safe place. I know you cared for him, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure nothing happens to you," I stated. "Why would you do that?" She asks. "I'm trying to make sure that there are no more deaths," She nods. "Thank you, Elisa," She whispers.

We make it to a small little cabin near Elysian Pool. "Little Morgan!" Molly and I turn around to find Sean and Rose running up on us. "Did anyone follow you?" I ask. He shakes his head. "No," Molly hops off Salem as I get down to check the cabin. Sean gets off, carrying little Rose in his arms. Once I come out, I see Sean handing Rose to Molly. "Dad, no! Please, don't leave me! I wanna stay with you!" Rose begs. Sean stares at her with tears in his eyes. "This is for your safety, sweetheart. I can't lose you," Rose begins to cry. "Dad, please. I'll be a good girl from now on, please," Sean kisses the top of her head. "I'm sorry, kid... but this is what's best for you," He whispers, kissing her forehead, before hopping on Ennis. "Irish, what the hell?" Sean stares at me. "Camp is no longer safe, Morgan. I'm doing what's best for my daughter," "You're abandoning her. How is that what's best for her??" "Just... drop it, savage!" I stare at him, shocked. "I'm sorry.." He runs off on Ennis, leaving us alone. I look at Molly and Rose. Molly was trying to comfort her. Rose looks up at me. "Are you leaving me, too?" She asks. I take her from Molly. "I'm going to make things right at camp so you can come home. I will visit you I promise. I'm gunna take care of you, Rose. You can count on me, sweet girl," She sniffles and nods. "I love you, Auntie," She mutters as she snuggles in my arms. I smile at her. "I love you, too, Little Rose," I whisper. Her breathing steadies as she falls asleep in my arms. I walk inside with Molly behind me. "Take care of her, please," Molly nods. "I will. Don't worry," She whispers as I set Rose down on the bed.
