With Mirabel

*We see her finishing off putting the skin of the animal out to dry to make leather as she walked inside petting Gabriela on her way she sighed looking outside her house thinking just how much changed in 3 years*

Flashback

*We see  Mirabel with 3 nails in her mouth while she hammers down a blank. With her was John Marston, Hosea Matthews, uncle and Charles Smith all of them doing the same thing building a house. Mirabel gave a small scream as she again hit herself with the hammer*

Mirabel:this is fucking stupid!

*Mirabel said earning her a small slap at the back of her head from Hosea*

Hosea: language

Mirabel: English

Hosea:....

*Hosea glared at uncle who was chuckling to himself feeling some pride*

Mirabel:why are we even building this house so far away from the farm? It's a full day walk just to get here

Hosea:because i said so and you have a debt to pay

Mirabel:oh yes the debt how much longer until I'm clear from that?

Hosea:the faster you finish you're part and stop talking the faster you'll finish

Mirabel:this is still bullshit i mean what are you going to do here? You're far too old to still hunt anything bigger then a rabbit

Hosea:you're right about that, but i have a plan for that

*Hosea said walking off. Mirabel gave an angry huff before going back to work, after hours of work they finally finished Mirabel and the rest walked back to see there work*

Charles:it's a sturdy home that's for sure

Mirabel:yup but again why did we have to do this?

Hosea:i mean we didn't if you wanted to live in a cave or something just say so

*Mirabel looked at Hosea confused grabbing a pair of keys*

Hosea:there's bags of seeds inside the house, enough food to last until you can grow you're own food and there's a drinkable river behind the home

Mirabel:wait what...what the hell are you on about? Did you finally turned senile?

Hosea:no you little shit, i taught you all i know, now that i know you can take care of yourself you don't need to live with me no more

Mirabel:wait wait wait so all this time the debt....but i thought...

John:not very smart is she

Mirabel:I'm smart enough not to get eating by wolves like you almost did
