~A Heart Within You~ RDR2 Arthur x Reader

ςhαp†εr 2~

~This chapter was very unplanned and I was in school kinda pissed when I wrote it sooo~

~A couple of days go by and I feel closely bonded with the gang already, even though I've only been here for a few weeks. I'm sitting in my tent with Arthur, I'm trying to figure out something to do. A question pops to mind "Arthur how long have you been in this gang?" "About....15-20 years or so, I was the first official member of the gang, Hosea and Dutch are like fathers to me" "oh.. wow!"

Speaking of Dutch, he calls us out towards his tent "F/N I would finally like it if you'd go on a little mission, not by yourself of course" "what kind of mission?" Arthur asks "weeell you may not enjoy this type of mission because it'll put little miss L/N here at risk, but I believe you two can handle it. I would like it if you both went and got Micah out of jail." "Micah? Dutch you know my feelings about him" "I know I know, son, but he'd do the same for you. Now go on!"

"I'm nervous about this mission, Can we get him out quietly?" "I don't really think there's a silent way to get someone out of jail cell." Nerves ran up my spine "and how will we get him?" "I don't know? Improvise? I have some dynamite on me, that might work."

We arrive at Strawberry "Act natural, everything will be fine. Don't cause too much attention" "right" We're going to fucking die! We hitched our horses out in the front "alright, I'm going to speak with the sheriff, stay out here and see if you can communicate with Micah somehow" I walked around the building and sure enough, there's a little window "L/N get your ass over here and help me out" "I wish it was my choice whether you stayed here or not. I'd leave your ass" "Oh come on L/N I'd miss you" Arthur came running out of the sheriff's office "Arthur Arthur! Right here! Get me out of here" "If it was my choice, I'd leave you here." "That's just what little miss over here said! You're joking, you're a funny man, Morgan." "Oh I'm not jokin' cowpoke, I heard so much bluster out of you mouth these past months." "Come on guys. Arthur, I always looked up to you!" "Well that was your first mistake." Arthur tipped his hat down and leaned against the wall. "Alright...how about we blow the place up with dynamite." "I'm fine with that, it'll cause so much noise; we're bound to get shot on sight!" "Dynamite it is." "Wa-wait wait!" Arthur grabs a stick of dynamite out of his satchel and then lights it. He threw it quickly at the jail wall and walked a bit away, I ran further away. The wall crumbled. Micah went and stepped out of the hole "Finally"

Micah turned around and shot another guy in the head that was in the cell with him "Micah what the hell?" "He was an O'Driscoll!" We ran off towards the horses, but Micah ran passed them "Micah! Where are you going?!" "I have some business to do!" Guards start shooting us left and right Why does he have to do this now?! "A-Arthur I'm scared! What do I do?" "Just shoot em'!" I point my gun towards one of the guards and I end up shooting them in the head Oh my god.. I just killed someone! I was frozen with fear "Come on! We need to catch up to Micah!" Arthur grabs my wrist and pulls me along side him. We see Micah up ahead going into someone's home, he shouted a few words and shot a person that opened the door, he ran inside and proceeded to shoot some other woman. Seconds later he came outside "Needed to get these babies" he threw up two guns. "Micah was this really the time for that?" "Yes cowpoke, If I didn't get them now then I'd have to come back to a swarm of guards looking for me" "That's already happening now Micah!" We ran and shot then shot some more until we reached the horses, then we rode and shot. We went into the trees and then around different paths swerving and going as fast as we could. We finally lost them! "Good we lost em' but what you did back there, Micah, is inexcusable" "We could've died, Micah" "But we're fine! We got out of there" Micah pulled something out of his bag "I want to thank you for getting me out of there, Arthur. Here." Micah handed Arthur an off-handed holster and then rode off. Night started closing in "We should set up camp" "We should"

We went over to a little area and began to set up tents and a little campfire. Arthur told stories about some of his past and a woman named Mary Linton, His late fiancé.

I got up and decided to go to bed, I walked up to a dull green tent and went inside  Comfy enough I laid down and closed my eyes

I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes from a small crack, I looked over and saw Arthur, sitting on a log by the fire, through a crack in the tent 'door' I walked over to him. "Morning!" "Good you're up."
Arthur ate a few things by the campfire then sprung up "Alright we better get moving back to camp, "Sure thing...Cowpoke" "Ah don't go calling me that stupid nickname too."
