~Last you remember, you passed out from shock after being shot in the arm and witnessing Sean's death. You were carried by horse back into an unknown destination, well, you assumed before you fully passed out.

~I felt warmth as I slowly woke up. I looked towards the ceiling, eyes barely open. What happened? Where am I? I felt a sharp pain dig into my arm "F-fuck!" "Oh F/N you're awake! ...Shit." I looked at my arm, fresh blood and dried blood all mixed together from my injury, I saw Arthur with a pair of tweezers that was once in my arm "I was trying to get the bullet out, it didn't go through the arm so it's still in your arm. I sat up, blood rushing from my head; immediate headache. I grabbed up my head from the piercing headache. "No, no, lay back down. I'm trying to get it out" I set myself back down again slowly. "What is taking so long, Arthur?" Micah rushed into the tent. "We've got to head out now. Just get it out already" "calm down, will you Micah? It's deep in there" "Give me that!" Micah pushed Arthur over and took the tweezers, he buried them into my arm and immediate pain shot through my body "M-Micah! S-Stop!!" "Hold still—- There." Micah held the bullet between the tweezers, it was a Regular repeater cartridge bullet. I put my hands on my face, tears running down my eyes. "Arthur, bandage her up and. let's. Go!"

Arthur took a deep sigh "he doesn't care about anyone, but himself, you know that?" "I've noticed" I grabbed a cloth and wiped my arm down from the blood, Arthur took a miracle cure and placed it into a bandage wrap and put it around my arm then tied it. "Bandages on both arms now; huh?" "Guess so." "I'm so sorry that this has happened to you, I have got to look after you better" he threw up a nervous smile and patted me on the head. He helped me up "thank you." "Let's get a move on!" Yelled Bill "The Gray's will be up our ass any second now." I hopped up onto my horse and we rode off in the forests. "Go to camp, but don't go together." "F/N I'm going with you" said Arthur. "Alright" "Arthur I just said-" "Yeah Yeah Bill." We walked our horses towards camp, not drawing any attention to passerby civilians "you okay? After... all that?" "Yeah Yeah, no I'm uh... I'm fine" "I'm sorry about Sean-" "yeeeah me too. He was a good brother to me" he chuckled "Yeah he was an annoying little brother to me. I remember when we rescued him from the Pinkertons before he was going to be shipped out into a penitentiary. It was rough and hard, we killed a ton of folk together. I remember when we did a house robbery for some money, some part of me feels guilty about that because they were just trying to survive, but we've got to think about the gang too." "Oh I didn't realize Bigfoot had feelings" I said in a sarcastic tone. Arthur looked over at me surprised and I snickered. He shook his head and laughed "I guess I really am, huh?" We continued onto camp. "Pretty close now."
