Sadie Adler X OC

Short Walk in a Pretty Town

Arthur started to wake up after about an hour, he was in the basement of some little hut somewhere unknown, he awoke hanging upside down, in just his undergarment of clothing and cloth around most of his head. Colm came down into the cabin and had a little chat with him about Dutch, trying to convince Arthur to leave him and come work for Colm instead. It did not work of course and Colm left after beating Arthur up a bit. Arthur then managed to swing himself over and broke free falling to the ground, he went and grabbed the candle in the room and used a few other things to remove the shell from his shoulder where he was shot and cauterize his wound.

One of Colm's men then heard this and came down to investigate only to be taken out by Arthur quietly. He then snuck up topside and outside and grabbed his weapons before getting on his horse which Colm's men had conveniently stolen too and began riding back to camp despite barept being conscious and severely wounded. "Come on girl, get me... home..." Arthur mumbled almost in a silent murmur as he passed out in the saddle.

He arrived back at camp about half an hour later and fell off his horse onto the ground stirring awake again. A few members who were still up since it was the middle of the night came over to him. "Arthur...? Arthur...? Arthur..." said Mary Beth, Karen and then Dutch as they arrived and saw his body on the floor. "I told you it was a trap Dutchhhh..." Arthur groaned out before getting helped to his feet "That you did son...that you did...Reverend!" He said as he had Karen and himself help Arthur to his tent and bed area of the camp.

Once he was helped to his bed, Miss Grimshaw was asked by Dutch to sit with him for a while whilst the Reverend came and began tending to his wounds and bruises. A few weeks passed for Arthur's recovery and mostly everybody was happy to see him back on his feet and back to normal as normal could be. Things for the gang had been somewhat quiet too with not much work happening. Arthur was then told he had to go and meet Bill, Micah and Sean in town. As he was walking to his horse, he crossed paths with Simon and Sadie who were hanging out somewhat and just relaxing around the camp for the meantime. Sadie smirked slightly seeing Arthur and looked at him: "So you boys didn't get Colm O'Driscoll then...?" She asked not really seeming too interested in asking how Arthur was feeling or doing.

Arthur shook his head "No, and I'm fine by the way...thanks for asking." He said with a bit of sass and sarcasm in his voice. Sadie just let out a bit of a chuckle and walked off. Simon looked at Arthur and smiled "Well I am glad you are alright, Mr Morgan.." He looked back at Sadie slightly and kept smiling. "Thanks kid." Arthur said with a tiny smirk noticing the look Simon was giving Sadie, seemingly a look of admiration perhaps but didn't say anything and went to meet with Bill in town.

Once he arrived, the four men began walking through the town whilst discussing the sitaution. The two families seemed to be somewhat on to them, but they didnt seem terribly phased yet as Bill was talking about some discussions he had been having with the Grays in the saloon about needing new security, as they reached the otherside of town just outside the saloon they all stopped as Arthur spoke. "Hold on, something dont feel right about this..." He said "Now it don't feel right...I could'va told ya th-"

BANG

Sean's head damn near exploded, his lifeless body fell to the ground, a huge gaping hole left in his skull as more shots began getting fired. The Greys had setup an ambush and were completely onto the Van Der Linde gang now and their double scheming. "Goddamn Bastards! You shot at me!!" Bill yelled as the shootout in Rhodes began between the three remaining gang members and the Greys and their hired muscle now. After about 10 minutes of shooting, it went silent..dozens of dead bodies lay in the street, on buildings, on balconies...Micah and Arthur had been held up in the gunsmith's store during the shootout and came out now, guns in hands still arguing slightly "Where's Bill..?" Arthur asked "Damned if I know.." Micah snapped back quickly as they walked over to Sean's now colder, lifeless body.

"Put your weapons down!" Sheriff Grey yelled as he came out with his deputies holding Bill at gunpoint. "Oh Bill..." Arthur mumbled as somewhat of a grumble as the men aimed at Micah and Arthur now. "You know we cant do that..." Micah said before yelling "Morgan!!"

In a second, the two men drew and shot all 4 of them including the sheriff saving Bill's life before holstering their guns and all gathering around Sean's body. Arthur picked up Sean's body whilst continuing to argue with Micah, who did not seem too sad or phased about Sean's death. "Bill, take his body amd bury it someplace proper...Micah, its best you and I dont speak for a while..." Arhur said placing Sean's body on the back of Bill's horse. Micah then proceeded to make some snarly little snappy quip at Arthur which only annoyed Arthur more than he already was. "Get the hell out of my sight."

The two men then rode off as well as Arthur a bit later. They buried Sean out a little bit away from Camp under the copse of trees that was hiding them and giving the gang privacy. Arthur wrote in his journal a bit and came back into camp a bit later. It was basically night time by now although something was off.

Alot of the gang members such as Molly, Abigail, Reverend, and a few others were all gathered ourside of Dutch's tent. As Arthur approached, Dutch saw him and spoke "Arthur, have you seen Jack?!" He asked seemingly worried. "No why? What's happened..?" He asked as Abigail came over angry and upset, "Where is he? Where is my son? Where is my goddamn son Dutch Van Der Linde?!" She yelled at him demanding answers which Dutch did not have. However, this seemed to bode ill that Jack had gone missing.

Hosea then came over "Kieran saw some of the Braithwaites lurking around, we think they took Jack." He said causing Abigail to break down even further. Dutch then spoke "We will get that boy back Abigail, I promise you." He said as he began walking off and calling for men to join him now. "Just get me back my son..." Abigail said before walking off to some of the women in camp for a bit of comfort.

Dutch then left with almost every man in the camp except for Reverend Swanson, Herr Strauss, Pearson and Simon and began heading to Braithwaite manor whilst trying to keep John somewhat calm.

Whilst they were gone, alot of the woman tried their best to comfort and be there for Abigail whilst they waited. Whilst Simon and Sadie basically stood on guard duty to protect the camp from any other harm. As Simon stood with his repeater guarding the camp, he thought to himself. "What a real mess things were becoming..."

(Ending it here, I am so sorry for the long delay between parts, I have been lacking motivation recently to write this but am doing my best. Also sorry again there isnt much Simon and Sadie but more of the story, I am trying to just brush through the important parts...so next chaoter will be the manor stuff from the game and then chapter 4 and hopefuply we can skim through Saint Denis stuff and focus more on Simon and Sadie and their relationship. Thanks for reading <3)
