Miss Orléans / Arthur Morgan x OC

1: Reunion

IMPORTANT

The main character is named Elizabeth and she's often called Eliza. She is no where related to the women Arthur slept with and had a kid with in the game. I completely forgot about her when I was naming my OC and by the time I realized what I've done, it was too late and I wrote like 7 chapters already.

I don't want to change her name, so just know Eliza is not the one in the game.

The gang hadn't seen her in nearly 6 years, she just up right and left them in the middle of the night. Some thought she was kidnapped, died in a ditch somewhere or the law got her. Made plans to search for her, but stopped once they found a letter and neat cursive writing. She was the only onc that ever wrote like that, so neat and and proper as if she grown up sophisticated, in which she did.

To the Van der Linde Gang,

Don't come looking for me, I've gone off and away from the gang on my own accord. I'm not going far, but hopefully you won't be able to find me as easily, so long you stay far away enough in the West, away from all the civilization you've been running from. The world is changing and they no longer want Outlaws anymore, best remember that.

You either adapt to this world or you die. Life ain't fair, humans were never created equal, and I've learned that the hard way from my time riding with you all. Me abandoning you out of nowhere ain't fair, so to compensate, underneath my bed there lays $10,000, use it however you please.

Don't come looking for me and don't bother my family Dutch, I am still an Outlaw and if you cross me, I won't hesitate putting a bullet through your head. To think I saw this gang as family at one point, to think the very person who allowed me to stay, would betray me. The world ain't fair Dutch and I reckon you won't ever get that big score you want. You'll come crawling your way to civilization, you'll loose your sanity and most importantly you'll loose your gang.

Hosea, I owe you my life and plus some. You have been nothing but a father to me and you have shown nothing but kindness towards me. It is you that is stopping me from ruining this gang, so you best stay alive if you want to protect it. If the time comes and you do find yourself in Civilization and backed up in a corner, come see me. We will make arrangements and we will see what will happen when our paths cross once more.

Till this time comes, remember that actions have consequences. Your past will come back to haunt you and it will most certainly not be pleasant. My patience and kindness can only be tested so many times, do best and remember that.

Sincerely,
Orléans

When the gang had read the letter, many did not know what to think. Many turned to Dutch and about his supposed betrayel towards the women, but he didn't utter a word. The man only retreated back to his tent and there he stayed still the next day. Everyone was left to wonder about what the next course of actions would be with the large sum of money that was left to them

Some were heartbroken that the girl had left and wrote such a threatening letter. They didn't understand what had happened for the girl to change sides so quickly, to make her abandon them. She acted as if they all betrayed her and yet they couldn't quite understand how. Under Dutch and Hoseas orders, no one looked for her, no one spoke of her and they simply acted as if she was never part of the gang.

Dutch never did fufill his promise to the gang and instead of going farther west, he set his eyes towards Blackwater. There they stayed, wanting one more big score so they can just disappear. However, that never happened and it was as if Orléans was a fortune teller.
