The Bandit Mills

Hearts

I sat at the table in David's house downing milk because drinking never made my pain go away.
"Emma it's been almost two months." Snow whispered sitting down next to me.
"I know. I can't stop thinking about her. Did you see what she did? I expected her to throw the ring away but she just placed it around her neck. And that feather has not left Calibers mane except for when you clipped it but then it went back on." I cried. Snow rubbed my back.
"I know. But I have, some news." She looked at David.
"What?" I asked looking between the two.
"She's been captured and sentenced to death in three months." I stood abruptly.
"How?" I asked.
"Apparently a robbery in Tulsa Oklahoma went wrong." I rolled my eyes.
"Of course that idiot went and robbed after everything." I walked out to the barn with the couple trailing behind.
"Where are you going?" David asked.
"To get her ass out of jail." I growled getting my horse ready. "I don't care if I have to go in myself but she won't last very long in there knowing she's going to die." Snow took another saddle and saddled another horse.
"We're coming with you." I stopped and looked at them.
"Why?" She smirked.
"We haven't done anything crazy since you two showed up and it showed us that we missed the excitement. We are going." I smiled and continued.

We had just crossed the border into Texas and I was getting more confident with my plan by the minute.
When we came to Austin for the night we stopped at a saloon. The vibe I was getting from it meant something had happened here.
We walked in and went to the bar.
"Tequila." I said to the keep. He looked at me funnily.
"Make that three." David said sitting next to me. A brunette sat next to me.
"No ones ordered a tequila in a while." She said with a smirk.
"Your point is?" I asked receiving my drink.
"You haven't heard? Well a while back a beautiful woman came in to drink her heartache away but ended up leaving after the first drink." I looked at her confused.
"Look Lilly if you're going to tell a story tell everything that happened." The keep said. "She came in and ordered a shot and Mal one of the women here tried to get her to have a good time with her but ended up making the woman mad and the woman told her off about how she dies inside everyday because she can't be with the woman she loves. And then she told Mal to be something more than a saloon whore." He finished cleaning a glass.
"What did this woman look like?" I asked interested.
"She had long dark hair, wearing two guns on both hips. Leather pants. She had a sliver ring on a chain around her neck. She had a pure white feather in the band of her hat and on her red lips she had a scar." Regina Mills was the only name that came to my mind.
"Know her?" The woman next to me asked smirking.
"No I don't." I said taking another shot.
"She left after a runner came in telling us about Bandit Mills. How Mills is a woman." My eyes shot to her.
"Woman? I thought it was a man." David said.
"Oh no. Her new signature is kissing the people she kills on the head." A blonde woman said walking up. "I wouldn't mind having a good time with the bandit myself." Everyone laughed.
"Wouldn't we all!" Another shouted.
I couldn't take it anymore. I placed a few coins on the counter and left. David and Snow close behind me.

We crossed the border into Oklahoma a few days later.
We rode into the capital to see it abundant with energy.
We rode all the way to the main jail.
We hitched our horses and walked inside.
"Excuse me but I'm looking for an inmate." I said to the officer at the desk.
"Of course name?" He said.
"I don't know she was arrested for attempt at robbing out side Tulsa." He looked up surprised.
"Oh Cora yes beach there." He said to another guard.
We followed the man to the very back and stopped out side a cell.
"You have ten minutes." He said walking away.
"Cora." I snapped. She fell off the cot and looked at me.
"Emma?" She asked worriedly. "You shouldn't be here." She growled standing up.
"I came to get your ass out." She looked confused. I lifted up on of the deputy's they killed at the ranchs badge.
"Guard come let this one out!" I shouted. He came over confused.
"You don't-" I silenced him lifting up my badge. "Right away ma'm he took his key out and unlocked the door.
He cuffed her and pushed her to the front.
"What's this?" The sharif asked. I held up the badge and his eyes went wide. "Get her things and get that horse out of the round up." The men ran around like turkeys that got their head cut off.
They handed me her hat and things. David took the saddle bag and looked in it.
"Missing a carving knife." He said. I looked at the men and watched as one pulled it out of his desk.
"You're lucky I'm in a hurry or I'd turn you in to the state for stealing evidence." I snapped taking the knife and placing it in the bag. I took the guns and the rifle and walked out with her. We waited a Monet before they brought a very angry Caliber out. When he saw Regina he calmed some and trotted over.
They saddled him and placed the saddle bag on. I placed the guns on my horse and helped her on since she was still cuffed.
I took the reins and climbed aboard my mare.
I dipped my hate to the men.
"Thank you." I said and trotted away.
