Red Dead Damnation (Van der Linde gang x Male Reader)

Part. 5

Miss Grimshaw slapped the journal from (F/N)'s hands before he could start writing, her voice was just as angry as she looked, "Oh for lord's sake, put that thing away and go help!"

(F/N) sighed, but didn't bother arguing, he knew better than to cross the older woman, he had learned a long time ago what happened when you crossed her, he still had nightmares. He just picked his journal up and packed it away. As he walked towards the convoy of wagons the older woman glared at him until he picked up a box of supplies, his feet were sinking into the snow, it was so warm out he see the icicles dripping from the roofs of the cabins. As (F/N) moved the box over to a wagon, Arthur rode back on his horse. (F/N) smiled up at him and shook his head, "It amazes me how you're able to get out of doing chores."

Arthur scoffed, as he dismounted, "I earned that right, you ain't." (F/N) rolled his eyes and walked over to a wagon to get more stuff, after tossing the previous box into the bed of the wagon, he had to squint because the sun was shining so much. He noticed John getting helped, or dragged, into one of the wagons, by Abigail and Lenny. Charles had to pull him into the covered wagon. (F/N) kept walking, the poor guy had been through a lot, he didn't want to give him too much grief. As he walked he saw Arthur, Dutch, and Hosea talking, he quickly joined the three men to see what the plan was.

(F/N) interrupted with a wave of his hand and a quick, "Gentlemen."

Dutch turned to look at him, a smile spread across his face, "Ah, (F/N), do you have any ideas on where to set up camp next? Hosea says Horseshoe Overlook near Valentine. I wanted to get your opinion since you're more familiar with the land."

(F/N) shrugged, Hosea shook his head, clearly, he was upset that he was being questioned, "Well I don't know so much about the land no more. But if Hosea says Horshoe Overlook then that's the best option."

The old man smiled,  "See even the boy agrees with me, well be able to hide out there no problem as long as we keep our noses clean."

The gang's leader smiled and gestured to the caravan, "Well let's go, clean noses and everything else."

He pointed to the wagon at the very end of the convoy and looked at Arthur, "Arthur you're in that one, bring Hosea, I know you like to talk about the good old days and what's gone wrong with old Dutch."

Dutch then put an arm on (F/N)'s shoulder and started walking to the front of the wagon, "You can ride with me son, we'll carry the supplies and that O'Driscoll, I can tell you what's gone wrong with old Hosea."

(F/N) nodded and started walking to the front wagon. Javier made kissing noises as he walked by, (F/N) did the appropriate thing and flipped him off. Most of his stuff had already been packed, thanks to the efficiency of Miss Grimshaw and the other women and with Bullseye tied to the back of the first wagon, he was all set to go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn't long before the gang was on the road again, riding in a single line down the path. With Dutch and (F/N) leading the pack of wagons. Micah and Lenny were riding their horses right next to the wagon in case there was trouble. The native to the land could finally see the sun clearly, and it wasn't blinding him, he couldn't wait to get to the new camp. It was still very cold but as the gang made it out of the mountains it got warmer the snow started getting more and more melted. 

They kept going until finally, (F/N) could see the first few patches of grass. The gunslinger let out a big sigh of relief. Finally allowing himself to relax. For a while, it was completely peaceful, (F/N) looked at the beautiful scenery the trees big and green, the blue sky was bright, a bunch of rabbits and squirrels were running around, it was so nice.
