I've traveled around all my life. My mother is the leader of the Seven Sirens, our gang of bounty hunter/Spies. She always told me "Be prepared for any situation, remember, men start wars, us women, we end em' ".
Each member of the Seven Sirens were recruited into the Gang, except for me, I was born into it. I don't know much about Men I do know a lot about lying, whenever you go undercover you gotta lie a lot, I'm damn good at it too.
Each member of the Gang has a specific Talent, lemme walk you through it.

My Mother: My mother is the leader, so she rarely gets caught up in fights but when she does she is the best gunslinger you'll ever meet.

Sister: Sister's real name is Elaine I honestly don't know why we call her that. She is a master at knife throwing and for as long as I can remember she has taught me everything I know on it. She's the oldest women in our gang (51).

Naomi: Naomi uses a hand to hand combat mainly, she is amazing too. My mother sends her undercover a lot because she doesn't need a weapon. She also taught me everything I know, which is a lot.

Bella: Bella does Archery and she is phenomenal. She trained me for years and I use the Mongolian Draw, which makes me incredibly accurate.

Georgia: Georgia is a Gunslinger, she doesn't know much about any other style of combat but she's an excellent shot, and she never misses. She's 21.

Cora: Cora is my age, she uses a hatchet, she can throw it from very far away. She tries to show me how but I'm afraid I am not great at throwing it. She's my best friend

Me, Sophie: I do hand to hand combat, knives, Guns, Archery, and I am stunning at throwing stars. I'm 18, Brunette, green eyes, and Asian eyes. My mama's white but she said my father had some Asian blood in him, it's not very noticeable but I proud of it.

We all ride horses, we never stay in one place for long, until my mom told me that there was a man who lived in the town of La Belle, who's worth a pretty penny. She wanted me to go into La Belle and get close to him, he's the new sheriff there. And I gotta go in and work in a saloon across the street.
"Get close to the people there, real close. Write reports and stash em' behind the sheriff's station in a barrel titled, " Pig Fat"" My mom explained
" Ew, Pig fat?"
" it's gotta repel folks who get close"
"Okay mom."

*A few days later*
I rode into town on my white horse named Quinn, I rode up to the sheriffs station pretending to be a lost tourist. A funny looking cute boy lay on the porch asleep.
"Good afternoon fine sir" I said loud enough to wake him. I hopped off my horse.
"Uhh" he took his hat off his face and placed it on his head.
"Yes?-wow" he said getting suddenly flustered.
Naomi had dressed me up nice and pretty to get peoples attention.
"Wow?" I said innocently
"Uhh- pardon me ma'm, how can I help you?"
" I'm looking for a hotel to stay a while in"
" Um yes, keep going, take a slight left at the fork and you'll find the Hotel."
"Why thank you kind sir" I said and hopped back on my horse. The boy shuffled as if he was nervous.
"Whitey Winn" he said and then dropped his face in his hands clearly annoyed at his social anxiety.
"Sophie" I said smiling.
"You uh, you gonna stay here a while?"

" I reckon"" Well uh make sure you come and a stop by the saloon tonight, say uh 8? Just you and me""Are you asking me on a date Whitey?""Maybe, if I was would there be a problem?""No problem sounds fun, but I'm busy tonight

" I reckon"
" Well uh make sure you come and a stop by the saloon tonight, say uh 8? Just you and me"
"Are you asking me on a date Whitey?"
"Maybe, if I was would there be a problem?"
"No problem sounds fun, but I'm busy tonight." I state
" with what?" He almost shouted as I started riding away.
" new job here"
I rode off towards the hotel, and noted how this place seemed like a ghost town. I got to my room and settled in, paying the lady 25 cents a night. As soon as I unpacked I walked down to the saloon and started my first day working there. The old man who ran the place seemed nice enough and barely anyone ever really came in so I spent most of the day cleaning the place, until I saw Golden haired Whitey walk in with the sheriff. They sat down and the sheriff called for me to come over. The man was of average height, muscular build, and had sweaty black hair.
"You new here girl?"
"Affirmative" I said
"What's that mean?" He said in a thick country accent, the man was old and seemed to be on the cusp of death, I couldn't figure out why he was worth so much.
"Yes" I replied
" You using big words for a little girl"
I got visibly annoyed and before I could reply Whitey stepped in
"She's a smart one" he said with a smile
" Yes Whitey, I am." I said because I believed it
" Well, let's see if your smart enough to go ahead and pour me, and Whitey here, a pint"
"Uh, I'll take a coffee" Whitey corrected.
"Mmhm"
I started filling the glass up when I overheard them conversing.
"Yeah we're real close to catching em" the sheriff said
"I thought they were bounty hunters, why do we need to catch them if they're doing the law's work?" Whitey questioned.
"Because, they're leader, Harriet, she hears one of them is in for rape or sexual assault and she actually castrates them before collecting the prize"
...
I dropped the glass I was holding and it smashed on the ground. I reached down to pick it up and then I cut my hands on the glass. I stood back up, looked at the blood and suddenly everything went black.
