Chapter 72 Arthur Morgan

"Good evening" a voice came from down the corridor, of the old Gray Saloon.

"Evening, what you got there?" Another voice asked, Y/n lay shaking barely able to hear the voices.

"A picture I'm looking for a woman" the man said holding it out.

"Well there's plenty of nice women here" the bartender said glancing down at the picture.

"What'd ya want her for?" He questioned.

"She's an old friend, I heard some folk say she was around here" the man said.
The bartender sighed leaning over the bar.

"Upstairs, she...well she didn't look too great, I was gonna call the Doctor, but she paid me not to, she's been here nearly two days" he explained quietly. The man only nodded walking up stairs.

Walking towards the three doors. He pushed one of them open heavy gasping breaths coming from inside.

"Y/n?" He questioned moving inside the pitch black room.
He pulled back a curtain looking towards the bed.

"Oh Jesus"
Moving to open the window he shouted down towards Charles and Bill.

"She's here, get up here!" He shouted, both of them came running up the steps heading inside, Arthur knelt down in the small room his hand placed on her sweat covered head. Blood soaking the bed sheets and mattress.

"We gotta get the Doctor" Bill said quickly.

"Go get him, pay whatever" Arthur said quickly, Bill took off tumbling down the stairs racing into town.

"Please" Y/n whispered trying to pull herself away.

"It's alright it's us, Y/n it's Arthur" he said softly, eyes flickering open and closed.

"Just stay awake the Doctors coming" Charles said quickly.

"I'm afraid Arthur" she whined tears falling down her pale cheeks.

"We need to get her to Shady Belle" Arthur said moving around the room until Charles stopped him.

"She's too weak to move, sit with her, hold her hand" Charles said hand on his shoulder, Arthur looked at Charles then past him towards her. Her painful glance meeting his sad blue eyes.

Swallowing he moved towards the bed, kneeling beside her once again, hearing Charles move around the room trying to pack up her things.

"Jesus, what happened?" The doctor asked rushing in.

"Dunno we found her like this" Bill said behind him.

Charles and Bill left the room while Arthur stayed helping him.

It must have been an hour or two before the doctor walked out again a solemn look on his face.

"Is she?" Bill asked.

"She's alive, I'm surprised she's lasted this long... it'll be a few days or even weeks before she can travel." The Doctor said quietly.

Both them watched him walk down the steps, moving to walk inside castle now lighting the place up. Seeing the blood soaked sheets placed in the corner of the room.

Walking in quietly, Arthur's forehead laid against her arm as quiet breaths left him, tear stained cheeks, his eyes closed. Seeing him asleep, they both moved towards the chairs.

"Arthur" Y/n whispered.

"Y/n?" He mumbled his head lifting to look at her.

"You're, you're a good man Arthur Morgan" Y/n whispered, moving her hand to his head brushing his hair lightly. His head moved back his cheek resting against her arm, fingers running through his hair, be there of them noticing the two behind Arthur.
