Lamb To The Slaughter (Red Dead Redemption 2 Fanfic)

The O'Riley Bunch

TRIGGER WARNING- RAPE
They hiked on horseback, slowly up the winding hills behind Valentine. Jared's eyes looked around and admired the view, taking slow cocky breaths like he owned the forest. Fae couldn't help but smile, he reminded her of a sweeter younger version of Javier. Fae's fingers drifted across her neck as she recalled the story she told Finnick in her mind. Her throat was never the same after that, the skin seemed thicker, stronger. But it wasn't only her skin that came out stronger. She didn't tell Finnick the entire story, never has and never will. It was too hard to call back to those moments after Hosea cut her rope and Dutch held her.

Mr. Brooke wasn't completely dead, Hosea nailed him in the back, piercing his lungs. He was drowning in his own blood," Dutch." She softly mutters and shakes his arm

He turns his head, his expression hardened," Where are you running off to, Mr. Brooke?" Dutch stood and took the young girl's hand. Fae tried her hardest to look poker faced but the tears wouldn't stop. Dutch drew a pistol from one of the dead man's gun belts, Fae's grip tightened on his hand. As they stood over Mr. Brooke who begged to die, his cold eyes stared at Fae's. Dutch looked down at the girl," You best kill him, sweetie."

Fae took a sharp breath, she was afraid she was going to break Dutch's hand with her hold. She winced as Dutch placed the navy revolver infront of her," Mr. Brooke doesn't strike me as the fellow who forgives and forgets.. And I don't much like looking over my shoulder.."

"Dutch." Hosea tried to intervene, Dutch waved his hand at him," She's just a girl!"

Fae took the gun with a shaky hand, she wanted to prove to Dutch she was tough. Like Finnick or Arthur, even Delilah," The man was going to hang the only kin you have.. without so much as a nod.. Family's everything, Fae.. Without family we are lost.. Do you trust me, darlin'?", Fae nodded weakly, her fingers ran over the beautiful engravings in the black steel," Because I am your father, I won't leave you, not ever. Do you understand?"

A big smile grew on her face," Don't worry Dutch, I'm not afraid."

Dutch let go of her small fragile hands, backing away he pointed at Ben Brooke," Now do as your told."

"You okay Fae..? You seem like you up in the clouds." Jared broke her line of thought

"Hm? Oh yes, never been better." She tried to force a fake smile

"You're worried about Finnick.."

"Of course I am.."

"Because he's your brother?"

"Oh no.. Well yes, he's not my blood brother.. But in some other ways he's my brother.."

"Is it because you love him?"

"Love him?!" Fae's tone almost sounded offended," Well I do, but I don't.. It's complicated.." she took a deep sharp breath

"I think you do." That cocky smirk and deep raspy laugh returned," I think I got you pretty figured out, Miss. Bennett."

She never recalled giving him her last name, a small red flag went up in her head. But yet again she doesn't recall a lot from the last 24 hours," Ok, Mr. Jared." She chuckled," If you know me so well why don't you tell me about myself." Fae lifted a bottle of moonshine to her lips.

"Well.. From what I've been told, I don't think you and Javier are really the best match."

"Really?" Fae gawked, handing him the moonshine

"Yes, I think he fancies other women more than you. I mean from what you've told me is that he treats you like horse shit, and sounds like he doesn't even love you to me. But Finnick, oh the big bad Finnick he's been there forever. Since day one, he's loved you and took care of you while Javier was off screwing other women. I mean I can't blame him, who would want to be screwing a little whore such as the Angel Of Death."
