*16 years later*
Allison looked in the mirror of her Mom and Dad's old bedroom
She wondered how much she actually looked like her parents
"I'm heading out" Jack called from the other room
She snapped out of a trance
"Wait" she yelled back grabbing her Uncle Arthur's satchel and throwing it over her shoulders
She rushed out the door to see her brother walking to the hitching post outside their house
"Let me come with you" She said in a stern tone
Jack ignore her as he climbed on his horse
"Jack!" She said louder
"No" her older brother snarked back
"Why" She pouted "For 12 years all you have done is left me behind! You never let me leave this stupid farm unless you're by my side as a body guard"
Jack didn't want to say something he'd regret
"Allison go back inside" Jack replied in a quiet tone
"I hate you" She said under her breath
"I'll be back before night" Jack said as he grabbed the reigns of his horse and rode away
She let out a sigh and walked back inside
"He'll see" She said to herself "...one day"
Allison spent her day cleaning the house and tending to the barn
After her parents death Jack always taught her to look after their home
Their father fought hard for it
By late afternoon Allison finished the whole house and everything outside
She sat down
Bored out of her mind she had an idea
She wanted to look through her parents things
Jack never let her see her parents trunk
He hid it under the house thinking Allison wouldn't know but she did
She knew exactly where it was
She hurried to Jack's room
Its the exact same as it's always been...
Small bed in corner
Trunk of clothes on the left side next to Dad's old rifle
"Its so empty" She laughed to herself
Allison walked over to his trunk and pushed it out of the way
She pulled out her knife to lift the floorboards
Allison carefully removed four floorboards and pulled the beaten up trunk out
As her hands started shaking, she opened the trunk
Tears filled her eyes as she saw a photo of her mother and father
"She's so beautiful" Allison smiled
Looking back into the trunk she saw a necklace
It was shaped into a heart
She looked back at the photo to see her Mom was wearing the necklace
I wonder what the story is behind this
She thought
She flipped the necklace over to see an engraving on the back
"I love you" - JM
Allison smiled as she unclasped the necklace
Jack won't notice this is gone
Searching through the trunk she found so many unanswered questions
Many photos laid in the trunk
She found one of two boys
One looked like a young version of her Dad and another was a boy maybe four years older than him
She turned it over
John and Arthur 1988
Allison touched her satchel
So this is the famous Arthur Morgan?
Rumbling through the case she didn't even notice how much time has passed
She got up and looked out the window
It was dark...
Jack's not back yet
She started to get nervous
Jack has never been late
Allison went to the kitchen to sit down and wait
An hour passed by and her older brother still hadn't returned
"That's it" She said out loud
She walked to her brothers room and grabbed her Dad's rifle
She walked outside and unhitched her horse
"Ready Echo?" Allison patted his head
She grabbed her reigns and rode away
With no idea where to go...
