Murphys kid?

Where is she?

(Third person)

William helped her find her horse. "Where's your parents house?" He asked her, while handing her the bag she had. "I'm an orphan." She lied to keep herself away from her father. "Oh m' apologies. I had no idea." Billy apologized. She ignored him. "This way." He guided jumping up on his horse.
"So what's your name?" He asked trying to make a conversation. She kept on riding. "Ya know, it's rude to ignore people when they talk. Don't you have manners." He joked.
She rolled her eyes. "Lia. Now shut up your voice annoys me."

At least that wasn't a lie. But she still kind covered her name incase he knew who she was. " Alright, I was just trying to make a conversation." He said riding up in front of her.
20 minutes went by riding to Johns home. "How do you know John?" She asked silently with no emotion.
Billy was surprised by how she had started to talk. " Well, I shot a guy. All though I don't talk about it. John found me running away and took me in."
Lia nodded by the explanation Billy had given her.

Finally they arrived.
"John. This lady was looking for ya." Billy shouted as he jumped down from his horse. Lia jumped down from her horse and band it to a pole. She hugged her horse's head and stroked it's fur.
An elderly man came out of the house. "Billy, who is this?" He asked walking over to them. She turned around to look who he was. John was right in front of her. " But this is Ophelia Murphy." John said surprised. " Murphy? You didn't say your name was Murphy. Or Ophelia. You told me your name was Lia." Billy stated confused and feeling cheated.

"So I said my name was Lia that's a short version for Ophelia. And you never asked what my last name was."

Lia walked past them to put her bag down. "Mind if I use a room to change in?" She asked pulling her clothes up from the bag. "Let me show you in." An unrecognized voice said behind her. It was a blonde man. He signaled for her to follow him as he walked into the house and opened the door.
" Here just lock the door and come out when you are done." He said as he walked her to the room.
" Thank ya." She said while closing the door.

Something about them made her uncomfortable like she wasn't welcome.
After she changed, she put her resent clothes in the bag and left the room for the outside.

When she came outside most boys were in a circle talking about what seemed to be her.

"We can't have her around here. She's Murphys kid!" Someone shouted.
" I agree that gall is nothing bu' trouble." Someone else shouted.
Lia lifted her bag over her shoulder and walked right past them like she didn't care. They all stopped shouting to look at her. "Don't stop trashing me. I am leaving now." She said with no emotion.
Why would she care about what they said. Everyone knew that her father is evil. That didn't mean she was. Maybe not in his way.

Billy started following her. She had that effect on men. (Sorry I listened to austin butler's voice)

"Wait up."
Lia turned around. To see Billy right in front of her face. He had almost run into her. The shock of the boy so close to her found a reflex inside of her, that pushed Billy to the ground.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry." She apologized helping him up. "No worries m' lady." He said. "John she can join us for dinner right?" Billy asked Mr Tunstall. Mr Tunstall didn't want to be rude so he replied to Billy's question. "Of course Ms Murphy can stay and eat. If it is okay with her." She silently nodded. Maybe it would be good to have some dinner away from her father.

"Great let's eat."

The meal had started.
Billy was sitting and bragging about how he was good with a kettle. Charlie and Steve sat there laughing at him, Lia on the other hand did not find it amusing at all. "So he's good with a kettle, well what can you do rather then behave like children." Lia said to put the guys in there place. All of them were surprised. She even got a smile from Billy. "That is quite enough." John broke the discussion. "Ophelia shouldn't you be going home now?" John asked concerned.

"Well, I'm hiding from my father." She explained carefully. "He set me up with an older man. And I don' want him. So now I'm hiding." Lia said looking down in her empty plate. "Ophelia. You know that's not the best idea." John stated. "So what if she doesn't wanna marry him. She can stay here right?" A mexican man asked.
"We can talk about that mister Chavez. Ophelia you can stay the night, but I can't risk it. If your father found out you sneaked over here, he would get the wrong impression." Mr Tunstall offered her the couch.

"Thank you. I am happy to stay here for tonight." She smiled.
Ophelia finished up her food and got excused from the table.

Ophelia went to get her bag.
Billy followed her to see what she was going to do. He wasn't very fond of her yet. The fact that she was Murphys daughter wasn't exactly the most trust worthy thing. He needed to know she could be trusted.
As she was picking up her bag outside in the dark she could hear something behind her.

"Hello?" She called out to see who it was. She picked up her bag and searched around for her dagger that she had packed. "Who ever you are, then this is a warning. I will cut you to pieces." She threatened the possible intruder. There was no wind and the sun had gotten down.
Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She quickly turned around to see Billy behind her with her dagger to his throat.

"Jesus, Bonney you scared me. What the hell are you doing?" She asked removing her dagger from his unharmed throat.
"I was checking up on you. After all we had just met. How would I know how to trust you?"
She knew he meant her blood. Her father was ruining her plan. But she also knew that it made sense since her father was how he was.
"Right, wel-"
"Shusshh." Billy interrupted her pulling her to the ground.

On the other side of the house they could hear riders. "This way." Billy whispered. Ophelia was confused until she saw the shadow if a familiar man.
When she realized who it was, she pulled Billy into the little shed and locked the door.
Ophelia pushed Billy against the door and held a hand over his mouth.
"Shh. That's the man my Father set me up with."

Billy removed her hand from his mouth.
"What!"
"Yeah he's been looking for me because I ran away. Now shush!" She whispered harshly.

(Johns pov)
I had set the boys to do the dishes, when I heard a knock on the door.
"Mister Clifton. What bring you here?" I asked him after opening the door.
"I am looking for Ophelia and I know you have her. Where is she?!" He said loud.
"Ophelia passed through here, when we were making dinner. She's gone now, but if I see her I will make sure to let you know."
" Alright goodbye."

(Third person)
As Ophelia heard the men disappeared she removed herself from Billy body.
"I think he's gone."
Billy unlocked the shed door and helped Ophelia out.
"You've got to go back home."
Billy tried convincing her.
"I know. And I will. It's just that my dad won't give up on the marriage."
Ophelia explained.

"What if you don't have to go home. What if we disguise you." Billy had an idea. "Disguise me as what?" Ophelia asked as she looked confused at Billy.
"Maybe we could disguise you as a whore?" Billy grinned. "We don't have anything to disguise me with." Ophelia smirked knowing she wasn't going to be disgusted. "We could buy something or you could make something." Billy suggested. "Right. And what would we have to make it out of?" Ophelia asked.
"How about the long skirt. How about we make it shorter?" Billy answered.

"Alright let's do it." She agreed.

The next morning.

"Are you guys sure this is okay?" Ophelia asked behind the door.
"Yeah Lia it can't be that bad." Billy said. The guys was waiting for her to show herself. Ophelias outfit was consisted by the skirt that was now half an inch over her knees and long fine socks with laces that was attached to her undergarments. Her breast was pushed up by the mini corset she had under the blouse which was buttoned down. Not all the way down, but long enough so that a lot was exposed.

When the door opened mouths gasped.
The girls body had never been this seen.
"Hot dang. You have legs." Steve snorted. Ophelia was disgusted by all the eyes that was on her. "Alright, but I still look like myself. At least with my face and hair."
"Face we can just put a little makeup on. The hair put it in a different style.
An' ya body looks amazing!" Billy smirked. Ophelia could feel both Richard, Doc, Steve, Charlie, Billy and Chaves' eyes on her body. Studying her body.
She felt uncomfortable.
" Can I at least be covered, when I'm here?" Ophelia tried making herself more covered.
"Of course M' Lady." Doc said taking his jacket off covering her body.

"Thank you Doc." She smiled.
Doc jacket was too big. The arms on the jacket was a little too long.
