I woke up to the sun shining through my tent. My eyes slowly adjusted to the light and I got up realizing I was still wearing my dress. I quickly took it off and put on a white shirt and black jeans, slipping on my boots and putting my hair into a braid.

I stepped out of my tent and went over to Pearson. "Food gonna be ready anytime soon?"

"Not until later." Pearson responded to me, wiping sweat from his forehead. I nodded and walked over to a wooden table that nobody was sitting at, taking in the peace and quiet. This didn't last long as Sadie came up to me and sat down at the table.

"I found out where they're all holed up, Hanging Dog Ranch. You still comin' with me?" Sadie asked, seeming to be in a hurry.

"Let's go kill these sons of bitches." I stood up, a confident look on my face.

"I knew I liked you." Sadie laughed, walking to our horses and mounting up.

When we got there and got off our horses Sadie said one more thing before we started shooting. "The big guy with a beard is mine. If you find him don't kill him."

Sadie got up from behind the rock we were hiding behind and raised her revolvers at the O' Driscolls. "You remember me?" She began shooting like a crazy woman, shouting at them.

I shot up from behind the rock, shooting with my two revolvers, one O' Driscoll after the other. I had lost where Sadie went and feared that she got shot. I stood up from behind my cover, looking around.

I felt a wave of shock as I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I looked down and saw that I had gotten shot. I quickly got behind a wagon and put pressure on the wound, still shooting as the blood slowly soaked my shirt.

"You go to the farm, I'll take the house!" I heard Sadie shout to me and saw her run towards the house.

I slowly stood up, wincing in pain and putting more pressure on the gunshot. I walked over to the house, kicking down the door.

I felt someone grab me from behind and I groaned in pain as they hit me near the wound. Using as much strength as I could muster, I elbowed them in the nose, causing them to fall back. I picked my gun up from the ground and shot them, turning around and shooting another O' Driscoll. There were no more in there so I went over to the house. As I opened the door I felt a sharp pain once again and fell to the ground. I had gotten shot once again but this time in the shoulder.

"I thought the rest of you bastards were dead." I said, grabbing my revolver and shooting the O' Driscoll. "Better not be anymore of you." I leaned up against the wood of the house, putting pressure on both my shoulder and abdomen area where I had gotten shot.

Sadie shot out the door, frantically looking around and finally meeting her gaze with mine, she was covered in blood. "What the hell happened to you?" She said, looking down at me. My shirt was soaked in blood.

"You know, the usual." I weakly laughed, feeling my eyelids fluttering closed every second. "I'm gonna die here."

"No you ain't, don't be dramatic." Sadie helped me up and got me on her horse. "Your losing a lot of blood, how the hell did you get shot?"

"I got distracted." I said, weakly. I felt myself pass out from blood loss.

When I woke up I was back at camp and everyone was crowding around me. I wasn't awake for long as I passed out once again.

I slowly opened my eyes, all my surroundings were blurry as I adjusted my eyes to the dim light from a candle. Once my eyes were adjusted, I looked around to see that I was on my cot covered with a blanket. I slowly uncovered the blanket to see my chest area covered with a bandage. I looked down at my stomach to see a bandage where I got shot. I sat up only causing pain to me near my shoulder, remembering that I had gotten shot there.
