Metal.
What once was an unfailing smell that lingered in the air mixed in with the gun smoke is now a familiar taste.
The warm blood creeps from her mouth, channeling through the cracks of her dried and cold lips.
A scoff escapes the man's lips as he stares at the sight before him.
"Huh, some outlaw you came to be, little lady," the man gives a deep chuckle and squats down, looking at the once untouchable outlaw who has now found herself at the expense of her kidnappers. "Yer pathetic excuse of a gang ain't gon save you now, sweetheart." His words dripped with venom and pierced the nerves of the girl laid out in front of him, beaten and battered by the hands of many men.
She gives him a weak smile as she spits out blood from her mouth. In a weak attempt to speak, she was able to give him a warning as she desperately gasped for air.
"Don't.. Don't you worry about them now," She warns, looking up at him with fury in her gaze.
"'Cus when I come back to your shit..shit show of a shack." She exclaims while pacing her breath.
"Hell is coming with me."

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

Better Not Look Down - Red Dead Redemption II
Javi joins the Van Der Linde gang after years of being on the run, finding refuge within it. He soon falls for the toughest member, Arthur. However, Arthur's cold demeanor turns him towards an Irishman named Sean-unaware of Arthur's true feelings. EXCERPT: Arthur itched his scruffy beard, "You don't look like a farmer." "My curiosity is peaked, Blondie. What is it you thought I did for work before I joined you all?" Javi asked with a smirk, his head moving up and resting on Sean's shoulder. Arthur gulped. "I dunno, I suppose I figured you were a whore or sumthin." The folks at the campfire bursted out laughing. They weren't laughing at Arthur, they were laughing at the image of Javi being a working girl of some sort. Still, Arthur felt insecure. "It's not that crazy of an idea!" He shouted. Javi calmed down, "It's alright, I was not judging your guess, though I am curious what part of me screamed man-whore?" He looked at Javi, analyzing his face. He wasn't sure why that was the first career he matched the Chilean boy's face. It just slipped out, but he felt as though he needed to justify himself. "I ain't too sure. I suppose your looks?" "Do you like the way I look, Mr. Morgan?"Complete

➵ ❝Y'know... I ain't a good man.❞ ❝You're good to me, and that's enough.❞ ➵ Arthur Morgan had heard many tales about grand treasures hidden all over the Heartlands, yet he wasn't one to believe in mere rumors as such, most claimed by drunken lowlifes spending their miserable lives in rundown saloons. Until the day the Van der Linde gang saves a farm girl from Colm O'Driscoll's boys, and something more; with a legitimate treasure map in the girl's possession, the chance to earn a great amount of gold arises, and is far too tempting for Dutch van der Linde to turn down. Arthur takes it upon himself to find this secret stash of gold - and it's during this treasure hunt where the outlaw finds out more than he'd bargained for; the gold is not the only secret that has remained hidden for far too long. ➵ Arthur Morgan x Fem!reader ➵ Warning: this story contains foul language, violence, gore and death. ➵ Credits: RDR2/Arthur Morgan belongs to Rockstar Games, I only own my writing. ➵ Cover edited by @catharsxs ➵ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED RDR2, BE AWARE OF POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN THIS STORY !!Complete
