Lamb To The Slaughter (Red Dead Redemption 2 Fanfic)

The Heartlands

The way off the mountain was scenic. With views that yielded sparkling white as far as the eye could see. Smaller animals such as squirrels and fox's scurried past the caravan. The sun warmed their faces and welcomed them with open arms. They passed that place were Daisy died. Not much was left, only blood and a few body parts,  thanks to the wolves. Fae tipped her hat as a final farewell, and shed a single tear.

It wasn't long before the land got greener and greener, until no snow remained. Fae found herself shedding layers of her clothing, until she was in a white undershirt that fully exposed her shoulders, black fitted jeans, and boots. She listen to crows song now, her head rested easily on Arthur's shoulder. She did it unconsciously, but he didn't seem to mind.

She was rattled awake by the bumpy road, her head shot up and she looked around. It was bright, sunny, warm, and green as Hosea promised.

"Well, good morning sunshine." Arthur said muffled from the cigarette that swished between his lips.

Fae took it from him as a way to say good morning back. The sound of rushing water filled her ears. Fae shot  her eyes back open, a waterfall! She placed the cigarette back in Arthur's mouth after a few more puffs.

The wagon slowed as they entered the stream, it became shaky and almost unstable. She kept an eye on the back to make sure they wouldn't lose supplies," Get us out of the stream!" Hosea ordered to Arthur," You gotta keep us going but calm!"

The back wheel began to make a cracking sound, and Fae watched it rock side to side in an unusual pattern. Then as they pulled out of the stream, CRACK, the wheel rolled clean off the wagon.

"Ah, shit!" Arthur exclaimed frustratedly supplies tumbled out of the back, luckily not into the stream.

"Okay, let's take a look." Hosea said lowering himself to the ground, Fae followed after him.

"You alright back there?" Bill asked from the wagon in front, him and Charles stopped along with Javier who rode on horseback.

"Does everything look alright!" Arthur snapped back at Bill

"Well, what's going on?" Javier asked dismounting

"Ah, I broke the goddamn wheel!" Arthur said gesturing to it (A/N: That's my favorite line in the game XD!)

"Alright! Let's fix it!" Hosea said

"You need help?"

"I reckon we can handle it." then Hosea turned to Fae,"Fae dear, will you ride ahead with Bill or Javier, tell them we're having problems and will be right along."

Fae nodded," Of course Hosea."

She retrieved her jacket from the wagon. She ran to Javier, jumping into his arms,giggling as he spun her once. The few hours she was without him felt like forever. Once he set her down, he grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately. It was always odd those two, like they were addicted to each other. They had to hold each other a certain amount of time everyday, or they didn't seem to function.

When Fae pulled out of the kiss,she rested her hands on his shoulders," I guess I'm your problem now." She spoke in a low seductive voice

"Well." Javier joked as he ran his hands over her waist," Haven't you been for four years."

Fae flashed a bright smile, nothing made her happier than seeing him joke again, she playfully pushed him off of her," Come on, let's go see this new camp of ours."

Like always Javier mounted his gray steed and reached an arm down to help her up. Once she was mounted, the couple continued down the trail.

"Do you have any idea where we're going?"
