I woke up my right eye was bandaged and I could't see from it, it was very cold and I wanted to try and see where I was. I of course rememberd the fight but was curious who saved me, it wasn't the law as the reconized me. I hoped it was the gang but on the other hand I hoped it was not, Dutch would kill me if he knew what I did there. I tried to sit up but a hand pushed me back, I looked around and saw Abigail. I relaxed as she was always a kind an loving person, I smiled and said with a soft voice " hi Abigail nice seeing ya, the weather is real nice you know ?" Abigail laughed back but then her face became serious, " Luna I aint mad at you but Dutch... Dutch is really mad I hope that Hosea will calm him down before he talks to you." I nodded I already knew I was in trouble, I went to sit up again and went to fell wat was on my head " the guy sliced your face open, your right eye will be alright but there will be a huge scar on your face" Said Abigail as she saw me feeling my face, "what happend back there ?" i asked her. she looked sad and then she just said "Dutch will explain, now get some more rest".
I listened and lied down, I fell asleep quickly because my body was still healing. When I woke up I was in a weird room, and its was cold very cold. I went to sit but something in my chest was hurting so much that I screamed in pain, Hosea came walking in and softly pushed me down onto the bed. "easy there you have broken a rib and your head needs to heal, here drink this it is going to help" I drank the nasty drink Hosea gave me, He chuckled seeing my face when I drank it. I fell asleep quickly I was out for 2 days and when I woke up we where on the move again, this time I was on a wagon with Lenny and Bill, Great..... I sat up and softly hissed at the pain, Lenny turned around at the sound and said " ah youre finnaly awake, where almost at the new camp location so wait a little longer please" I nodded and asked Bill a question hoping he was so stupid he was going to tell me " Bill, what happend back there ?" Bill was going to answer my question but Lenny stopped him. " bill you idiot Dutch is going to tell her" tell me what ? I was still trying to get answers but Lenny was to smart and Bill just said nothing.
I looked at the area and it was really beautiful, the mountains and the light blue water in the river. We went on a mountain and on the overlook was the rest of the gang making a proper camp of the place, Lenny helped me down and walk to a chair and then he walked away to help some people. Someone sat down next to me and I turned my head to see who it was, it was Dutch.. Great let the screaming begin, but he didn't scream he just sat there thinking. We sat there in silence before he said " come on we need to talk, but not here" he helped me up and walked to his horse, I was slow because my rib and head were still hurting very much. I looked for sock and saw grazing under a tree, I walked to him but was lifted on the count by Dutch as he sat down behind me he said " do you really think, that you can ride right now ?" ofcourse a little knife' cant stop me I laughed, Dutch laughed as well as we rode away from camp.
"luna I assume you want to know what happend in blackwater but first I need to tell you something else and you need to tell me somethings." I knew what was coming the " yOu arE tOo yoUnG tO bE tHeRe, yOu cOuLd haVe dIeD" speech,I said nothing to Dutch and just braided the mane of the Count. I was just done Braided when The Count slowed down and we stopped in the middle of a field, Dutch lifted me off the horse and sat down next to me in the grass.
"so what were you doing there ?" Dutch asked me calmly, " oh and dont forget I found youre gun and bandana", so dont lie to me" I then explained everything from me learning how to shoot to robbing stores and stage coaches, Dutch said nothing the whole time and when I was finsished he just said "Look im disapointed in you, but i realize this is my own fault as well. I should've let you join on missions, and you are as stubborn as a donkeys ass so it dind't need to suprise me as it did. You need to stay in camp for a whole month as punishment." " godammit come on ! why this you know I hate staying in camp where Miss grimshaw is abusing me' Dutch laughed at that but it dind't change his mind.
" Luna i'm not going to say what happend in Blackwater, you are just too young for that but what i'm going to tell you know might be hard on you, so if you want to talk about it just come to me please.. okay ? Promise me that" he looked me in my eyes as I said " promise" " Dutch then said "we were chased out of Blackwater and some people... died while we chased" I looked at him in horror as he continued "Jenny and Davey dind't make it we lost sight of Mac and Sean" he stopped to look at me, I was trying not to cry as Dutch told me once " if you cry you are showing weakness and you need to never show weakness to people, even in you trust them"
