the lost girl

Part 5

I woke up with an headache like I never had before, I opened my eyes and the light that came in made my head hurt even more. Godammit what did I do last night ? I tried to remember and crinched when I remember that I challenged Dutch to a drinking game when I downed his drink, Damn no robberies and alchohol for me in the next couple days maby even weeks. I looked at my watch and saw that It was already noon! I looked outside to make sure no one was watching me and I sneaked to Pearsons wagon and stole an apple, I quickly ate my apple and tried to act like nothing had happend.

I walked back to my tent to grab my journal when someone called me from the otherside of camp, It was Arthur I didn't mind that he called me over Arthur never brought me trouble. I walked over to the man and sat down next to him I told him what happend with Dutch and we laughed about it, We talked for a long time until someone called me over "Luna Rosalie Smith come over here now!" When I heard my second name I knew I was in trouble I only hear my Second name when I did something wrong with either Dutch or Miss grimshaw.

I walked over to Dutch he seemed pissed like really pissed, I pinched my nose in hopes that he would not ground me AGAIN, I walked to him and sat down on the chair that to pointed too. He closed the tent and then I got really scared, when Dutch closed his tent during the day you knew someone was in trouble or he was talking private business with someone. I saw Hosea also sitting in the tent with his arms crossed, Fuck I hissed to myself this was going to be a long talk. I tried to hold my laugh when Dutch told me the story of what happend last night, I thought I spoke clearly but apparently I said " challenge me ? Comee Onnnnnnn Old man!" and I drank it and fell down and proceeded to sing. I sat trough the whole speech and tried not to piss them off anymore, I decided to behave for like a couple off days at least.

So the next days I was bored out of my mind, but I behaved and did my chores. I even declined and offer to play a prank on Arthur by Sean, I wanted to go on a robbery soon I wanted to show how I can help the gang. So when almost 2 weeks had passed I walked over to Dutch his tent and walked in, of course he was reading a book "Dutch, when can I go on a robbery with you guys ?" Dutch looked over to me and said "when your not grounded anymore, maby." Please let me come on something if I dont get to do anything fun anytime soon I'm going to kill Miss Grimshaw. I pleaded to the man, he rolled his eyes and said Fine! i'm going to town today you can come with me, but only if you promise to behave!" I hugged him and said "who do you think I am ? Arthur ? of course I'm going to behave."

We took of to Valentine, Arthur and John were going to meet us there in the salloon. We arrived in the town and I put my sleeve over my nose to overcome the smell of shit and sheep, Dutch saw that and laughed while he said "welcome in the town of Valentine, only the finest sheep here !" I mocked him and said " the number one town to smell like shit!" I earned a look from Dutch but I didn't react, we arrived at the salloon and walked in, Dutch orderd a brandy shot for himself and a water for me. We chatted about the old days, well it was mostly Dutch saying what kind of stupid shit I did when I was young, "well snor I must say I loved growing up in the gang." he looked at me with a devlish grin "snor ? don't you mean mustache ?" I gasped how do you know that ? " ohhh you told me when you were drunk off you ass" he laughed.

I was happy seeing Arthur and john walking in, finnaly you guys are here the old man is starting to talk about the old days" I recieved a playfull punch to the arm and I just rolled my eyes. me and John were going to check on the money that the guys earned on some sheep, We started to walk near the stables when someone grabbed me and held something to my mouth.

Arthur POV:

I sat down next to Dutch and explained the terrible job that I and John had done, I looked over and noticed that Dutch looked very tired and asked him " Is Luna wearing you out ? are you becoming to old to teach teenagers how to behave ?" I chuckled Luna was some kid, she was always in trouble and could never sit still for one second. "Yes of course i'm tired the kid is up to something she has behaved for almost 2 weeks, something is not right" Dutch was cut off by a guy screaming outside" Van der Linde ?? Van der Linde ? I know youre in there, You don't know who I am but you keep robbing me ! Come out here now !" 

I looked outside and my heart dropped when I saw John and Luna were being held by men and guns were pointed at their heads, I looked at Dutch and said " they got Luna and John, You need to talk about something and I will try something"

Luna POV

I wanted to scream but a hand was placed on my mouth, I could bite it but It will only result in me being shot. I saw Arthur and Dutch walking out, Dutch was telling a story about mistaken identity when I saw Arthur slowely reaching for his guns, I tried to bite my captures hand to let me go, It worked and I ran over to the guys when Arthur shot the guy that was holding John.

Arthur trew a gun at me and said "grab my horse and ride back to camp don't stop for anybody!" I ignored him and shot a couple of men clean trough the head, Arthur looked at me and I shrugged it off " beginners luck". We ran to the front to kill the last man when the whole town of Valentine joined in on the fun, I suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain in my right leg. Godammit I've been shot ! I screamed to the 3 men, John rushed over and put me in a wagon. Dutch and John proceeded to push the wagon out of the town, "don't worry snor it's only a scratch" I smiled at the man and put more pressure on the wound, I was feeling light headed of the blood loss but didn't want to say anything.

Dutch carried me out of the wagon an put me on the count, John grabbed Sock and Arthur made sure nobody followed us to camp, When I sat on the Count I felt my eyelids getting heavier. "Stay awake Luna ! open youre eyes were almost there" Dutch tried to keep me awake I smiled and said " Calm down old man, I will be ready for the next robbery" and with that I passed out.
