That F**cking Yankee

Pre - Bank Robbery P.1

It had been a few days from that night of the nightmare. You and Dutch kept meeting at night, sleeping together and just enjoying each others company.

Arthur had finally returned from his trip that he mentioned to you, he seemed better but you could tell something was wrong. You were thinking of going out for a night or two with him to go hunting or maybe new terrain as he had asked before.

But it was the day before the bank robbery so you thought you should wait until after. 

Your wolf bite had almost completely healed up now, it was still scabbed up in most places but the minor parts had scarred and healed up. You could now get back to doing what you usually did, heavier chores around camp and hunting by yourself able to carry carcasses without assistance.

Dutch on the other hand still didn't like you lifting heavy items but you ignored his demands and paid for it later between the sheets.

Skipping around camp doing your chores you were lost in the moment, the sun was getting to the point where it was hitting the horizon and your eyes were falling heavy. Finishing up your chores you had dinner with a few of the girls. 

After eating you washed up your bowel and cutlery and made your way to the tent where Dutch and Hosea were cooking up the bank robbery job. 

"Hoosseeaa?" You said as you childishly stepped into the tent. 

"Yes, Dear?" He replied turning to you. 

"Can I come on the bank robbery tomorrow?" You asked in a normal tone. 

"No" He replied straight. 

"Dutch said I could!" You groaned as you gestured to Dutch. 

Hosea and Dutch shared a glance, your lovers look seemed okay with it but Hosea was trying to fight it.

"No, Dutch!" Hosea said as he motioned his hands.

"She'll stay with me, and won't leave my side" Dutch aimed the last part at you with a gritty voice.

"Yeah yeah" You mumbled.

Hosea groaned and rubbed the top of his forehead. "I... I really don't want you to go, Dear" Hosea said in one last final plea. 

"Please? I'm a good shot. I won't leave Dutch's side" You begged, giving your best puppy eyes.

"Fine" Hosea finally agreed. "But I swear to god, anything happens your responsible" Hosea pointed to Dutch and had a stern voice. 

Dutch threw up his hands and nodded. "Yeah yeah, nothing will happen when she's beside me" He said. 

His eyes locked with yours with a loving stare and you just wanted to melt right into his arms right there and then but couldn't... not yet.

"I'll see you two tomorrow then" You smiled and walked off. 

You had a huge smile on your face as you wondered to the dock where you usually sat. Sitting down you got comfortable and placed your sketchbook beside you.

You were studying the sky that was now turning dark. The stars and the cosmos started to peak they're way through the darkening sky. You stared in curiosity wondering if there was actually anything else out there, staring back. 

You were now doodling in your sketchbook, drawing the sky and some of the birds that flew by until you were disturbed by the footsteps coming up behind you. You looked back and saw it was Dutch. He held a small smile on his face as he sat next to you.

"What you drawing, Darlin'?" He asked as he peeked at your sketchbook. 

"Just the stars" You replied as you stared back at them.
