I'm Just Like Them (RDR2-RDR1 Story)

Chapter 1 {Hailey Sioux}

??? p.o.v

I smiled as I felt a hat get sat on top of my head blocking my view, I smiled as I looked up at the person, “darlin’ could you please go and wash your hands, I can only imagine how filthy you are.” I giggled at my dad and mom. I saw my mom turn around with a pot full of stew, I felt my mouth water as I could smell it.

“Hailey, did you pick the carrots out of the garden?” I nodded, “I put them in the cabinet,” “thank you.” I smiled and nodded at my mother. I felt her lips touch my forehead and I leaned in to her warm body. It was a bit cold in our home, well with all of the snow, and also we live up in the Grizzlies.

I heard my father walked down the steps and saw that his hands were cleaner than they were before he got home. “Hailey, take your father’s hat off, please, and it’s your turn to say Grace.” I nodded and I sat my father’s hat down, and folded my hands together and closed my eyes.

“Thank you Lord for families that love and cherish each other everyday, and may we live in your name and love you fore-” my eyes shot open from the loud banging on our front door. It was rough and very loud.

I saw my mother and father stand up and I watched as my father grabbed his gun off of the counter and inched towards the door, I felt my mother grab me and she pushed me behind her. I grabbed her skirt and watched as our door was kicked open and my father was grabbed and shoved into the wall with a gun to his head.

Three men came towards me and my mother and they grabbed my mother, flipping our table in the process, and I went to go towards her to try and save her, but I was kicked in my chest and I slammed into the floor crying out in pain. “You bastards! Leave my wife and child alone!!” I felt tears fall from my eyes as I could still feel pain in my chest.

I heard my mother screaming curses as I watched her get dragged up the stairs, I heard footsteps towards me and I saw a pair of shoes in front of my face. I cried out again as I felt my hair get grabbed and jerked up from the floor. “Leave my daughter alone!! Please,” I heard my father cry.

The man that was holding my hair looked towards my father and I watched as one of the men holding my father smiled and punched my father in the face. Then they continued to punch him, I cried as the man gripped my hair harder and forced me to watch my father get beaten.

Then I was thrown to the floor, and I felt a hard foot land into my stomach, I screamed and cried harder, “nice knowing your family, Sioux.” I could barely hear three gunshots come from upstairs, then two of the three men walked back downstairs smiling.

I slowly moved my head to look at my father who was bleeding everywhere on his face, I could barely see his chest moving, if he was at all. Then I heard him gasp slowly, “you’ll all rot in hell for what you’ve caused my family.”

I heard one of the men chuckle, “there’s nobody in your family left, but you and your pathetic daughter, your wife, we raped her then killed her. The same may happen to your daughter,” the other men laughed along with their leader.

I saw my dad’s hand raise with a gun in his hand and he shot the leader in the head, one of the other men pulled out his gun and shot my father in the head.

I was still crying from being kicked, then I saw the men turn and look at me, “we’ve got to go now, I’m sure the law heard his shot towards Boss.” “No witnesses, man.”
