Outlaw's Help ~* COMPLETED *~

Chapter 60

    Leo knew Raph had an hour left but he didn't want Raph to have done this alone while he got to the town riding the horse as he soon saw a barn door open and Raph on his horse but the horse started acting up as it got on its back legs fast not letting Raph have the time to grab the rein falling to the ground hard.
    Leo ran the horse over fast as a man was coming to Raph yelling as he got over Raph about to stab him with his sword. But once Raph got his arms over his face and closing his eyes he then heard metal hitting metal so he Raph opened his eyes fast seeing Leo there as he blocked the men's attack so Raph used this and got a little up as he got his leg out and kicked the man to fall on his back.
     Leo was going to finish him but Raph grabbed his wrist as he got them two running off while Leo yelled. " why are we running! I could have killed him!"
     " We are in the middle of town! If you did that this whole place will be all over us!" Leo looked at him then at their hand as he felt how tightly Raph was holding his wrist. Raph got his other hand to his mouth and mad a whistle noise as the station horse came as Leo saw the horse as he felt his head get into a sharp pain as a memory came back.
     Leo was a young adult as he found the horse taking it to the farm and took care of it while he would always pet the stallion and hot their heard together smiling. Leo then liked at Raph fast as then Leo's horse came to his side.
    Raph got his hand to let Leo go and helped him get on the horse as Raph did the same getting on the stallion when they two then road out of town.

     They rode for a while on their horse as Leo was looking a little pale so Raph came close grabbing his arm gently so they could stop. " We should stop for a little... You're getting pale from not eating or drinking anything..."
    " I am fine... Let's just go. " Leo said as he got his arm free then started on with Raph watching him getting his horse to go ahead fast to Leo again saying. " Leo please you are not wel-"
     Leo got mad and jumped off his horse and on Raph when they both fell to the ground grunting but Raph feels a knife to his neck while he opened his eyes looking panicked at Leo.  " Leo -"
     " I'm not Leo! Not any more so stop calling me that name! I am Shooter now!" Leo yelled as Raph slowly nods his head as he said in a slight short breath. " O - Okay Shooter... "
     He then got off Raph as Raph would watch him when he got a hand to his neck. ' This is not like him...'

      The past week it was not as planned while they were in a cave in the past three days and a fire going between them while it was raining a lot. They had not covered a lot of ground while they would look at each other. But Raph broke the contact as he looked out to the rain while he tried to keep himself from being close to Shooter as he was not Leo anymore. " Raph."
     He ignored Shooter not wanting to listen to him as he got his arms crossed to keep himself warm. " Raph... Raph!"
     " What!" Raph yelled looking to Shooter as he saw him looking right to him. " I'm trying to say I'm sorry... You are used to calling me by that name and... Well, it feels a little weird..."
     Raph looked at him then signed and looked away again. " It's fine... Just try to get some rest..."
      Shooter watched Raph then just leaned to the wall closing his eyes trying to get a little of sleep while Raph kept watching. But once he thought he heard Shooter sleeping he looked over to him watching him sleep to the wall of the cave while Raph wanted to go over and just kiss him as well as have sex but he still couldn't as it would not be Leo any more he would be looking into.
      So he closed his eyes as a single tear fell while a hand went to his face to hide the pain of losing Leo all over again.
    But as Raph had sat there in pain and silently crying Shooter was still up just pretending to be asleep while he would open his eyes slowly seeing Raph like that. So he closed his eyes and listens to Raph as he felt a little sorry from him instead of thinking of him as a weak person for crying on losing a loved one.
