Van Der Linde Savior (Red Dead Redemption 2)

Home Sweet Home

Celina made eye contact with Hosea who was the first one to notice her arrival back at the camp. The older man stood up and started over to her, drawing the attention of several others in the camp. Celina smiled as she made eye contact with all of them and met Hosea in the middle, drawing him into a big hug. She whispered in his ear, "Thank you for helping us."

He patted her on the back gently as they pulled away from one another, "No," he looked her in the eyes with a kind smile, "Thank you for helping us."

Celina returned the smile and scanned her gaze over everyone else who was staring at her in the camp, "I think I'm back you guys, if y'all will have me."

Of course we will, Arthur stepped forwards, "That's as long as you and Dutch don't start fighting with one another again."

Celina shook her head with a smile, "Here's hoping, all I'm worried about is Micah trying to wedge between us again." She shrugged, "I guess we'll see what happens, take it as it comes."

The corner of Arthur's mouth dipped downwards in slight feigned remorse. Before he could say anything, Bill opened his big mouth from where he sat on the fence, "Micah's dead."

"What?" Celina stepped back in shock, eyes wide, "W-when did that happen?"

"Yesterday," He continued to chew on the straw that was sticking out of his mouth, "Bounty hunters, near got me, Arthur, Javier and John too."

"Wow," Celina shook her head in disbelief, "That's, unfortunate. Can't really say I'll miss him... But, wow. I'm glad you all are ok."

"We are too," Sadie spoke up with a friendly, gentle smile at her, "Why don't you let me take you to Dutch? He's up in his- or your bedroom... at least he was."

Celina took a deep breath, this was the moment that she had been nervous about, returning to camp and seeing Dutch again, finally letting herself go back to him. She was excited, maybe a little over excited considering what he had put her through. She couldn't help it though, she loved him and she couldn't wait to see him. She only hoped that he hadn't closed himself off to her again after she had told him she was officially leaving him. Celina nodded slowly, "I guess I'll have to face him sooner or later. Might as well be now."

Dutch thought he could just barely hear her voice coming from outside and he could hardly believe his ears. It couldn't really be her, could it? Surely not, not after what she had said to him on the riverboat... She had to have left with Trelawny by now as much as he hated the idea. Right?

Despite himself, when the sound of her voice didn't go away, he made his way to the window in their room and peered out through the curtains. Sure enough she stood out there looking as beautiful as ever and chatting with the boys. He watched as her attention seemed to turn to Sadie and although he couldn't make out what they were saying all too clearly, it was quite obvious that Sadie was leading her back to the house to come and see him.

The notorious leader took a deep breath and smoothed his hair back, trying to make sure each strand was in its appropriate place. He was glad that he had took a trip into Saint Denis earlier that morning to take a shower, it had been a few days since he had taken the last one and God knew he needed it.

He took a deep breath and looked around the room frantically at the objects he had broken in fits over her when no one else was around. No one had been in his room since she had left, it was their room. Although she had made it clear a few days prior that she was leaving him, she was still the last one he had had sex with. He couldn't help himself, the woman was the only one he even had the slightest desire for.
