Second Taste in American History
TW*: sensitive topics
The Stone Siblings wouldn't pop up again until the Civil War, hijacking trains that were transporting slaves, burning down homes of slave owners, destroying slave farms, and taking them up North to be free. However, 2 years before that, they were already making a name for themselves. No one knows why some people turn to a life of crime, some say they grew up with crime, others do it for the rush it gives them. Not the Stone Siblings, now going by Nik and Katherina Stone, turned to the life of crime for a different reason. The reason, they were already monsters, so might as well be the bad guys. They robbed banks, people, trains and even taking over small towns for a while. Their wanted posters branded them 'Stone Cold Bandits', to some outlaws, to others heroes. Why, well, they were the wild west version of Robinhood, robbing the rich to feed the poor. No one could stop them, the best sheriffs and bounty hunters tried and failed. The price on their was $35,000, it would rise up to $700,000 once they started freeing slaves. It was just the two of them for a long time until the Civil War, where they met 3 brothers and a dying slave. Which was a shocker for both her and her brother given the fact that she lost all trust in men and is mute to anyone and everyone except her brother. Yet, for some reason the trust was there, they later realized it was a friendship-bond with the 4 men. Of course, it took a while for Katherina to talk and open up to them. Now, she only talked to 5 people, of course she didn't think that number would grow but she was wrong. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's take it back to their days of crimes.

1858-1860
Katherina and Nik are currently sitting and waiting on their horses watching the tracks, waiting for the 11:00 train. Nik was covered head to toe so his sparking skin wouldn't show, the only thing not covered was his eyes. Katherina, however, wasn't, her shirt was unbuttoned just above her bra and her jacket was open, letting the cool breeze hit her and her bandana was resting below her chin. She liked the fact that she didn't sparkle, she was free to feel the breeze and the heat even though it did have much effect on her. Katherina's thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the train's horn. She looks at her brother.
"Duty calls." he says with a smirk, the french accent still laying thick
They made it a point to never lose their accents, as it was the only thing to remind them of where they came from. Sure, it wasn't great but it made them who they are now. She nods in response and puts her bandana over her nose as they both start siding towards the train.
