tracks •ch 14•

(Y/N) woke up and hissed to herself, her gunshot wounds got more infected each day, sooner or later she would die from it and she knew it very well

(Y/N)'s injuries had gotten infected and she had been away from the gang for around a month, she knew they'd probably have moved on by then

She sat up and leaned weakly onto wanderer's leg, hardly able to keep herself sitting straight up

Wanderer craned his head down and she grabbed onto the reins as he lifted her up, giving her time to grab the saddle and lift herself up

She flopped forwards and slumped down on his neck, giving a small cough

Her sleep schedule was ruined and now night was slowly, approaching.

But something caught her attention, some sounds coming from the saloon

She forced herself to sit back and she weakly gave wanderer a kick to get him going towards the saloon

(Y/N) spotted some men entering, most likely lemoyne raiders by their looks

She heard the piano stop and the saloon went quiet, then a familiar voice broke through

Hosea!?!?

But then her heart stopped as gunfire broke loose

Quickly (Y/N) jerked the reins to the side with whatever strength she had left and she made him move away as stray bullets flew out from the shattering glass

She moved across the street and waiting silently, praying that if that really were Hosea, that he'd be alright

Suddenly the doors flung open and two very familiar men broke out of the saloon

Hosea!! Its Hosea!! And Arthur!!

Suddenly a man tackled Hosea and the two fell down onto a wagon wrestling until Hosea managed to pull oti his gun and shoot him

As Arthur was on the balcony he glanced over and locked eyes with (Y/N)

His face twisted into confusion and then sadness, he slowly lowered his head and murmured something to himself as he shook his head

Hosea crawled up to the driver's seat as Arthur leapt down and crawled up beside him

The two raced off and (Y/N) yelped as a group of leymone raiders whizzed past her on horses

This is my chance to-

(Y/N)'s thoughts slowly stopped as she went limp onto wander's next, her conciousness leaving her body

...

"The hell...?"

(Y/N) slowly opened her eyes and shrieked as she realised she was in the middle of the dirt road

She locked eyes with a random shopkeeper and she scrambled to her legs, wobbling a bit before backing into wanderer, who was waiting behind her, ready to support her as she struggled to stand

"You ok miss...? you were out cold... probably been that way since last night" worry flickered in his eyes as gave a shrug

Last night...

(Y/N) paused for a moment and then she remembered seeing Arthur and Hosea with the wagon

I still might have the chance to get back to the gang! That's if I can follow the train the wagon left!!

"I-im alright... s-sir.." she choked out before turning around and climbing onto wanderer, she gave a light and weak kick and wanderer moved towards the saloon

(Y/N) smiled as she saw clear tracks and began to follow them, the hope that she had lost so long ago returning to her

She followed the trail up to an area that was beside a forest where the tracks ended, the trail swerving away but to unclear to see which direction it came from

Hope began to leave (Y/N) once more until her eyes traveled to the forest where she saw a small trail

"That's odd... doesnt look like much is over by the lake.." she murmured as she flicked the reins in the direction or the path.

She felt her light headedness returning to her as she began to travel down the path but she shook her head and strained her senses to keep her awake and alert

Suddenly a strange feeling entered her heart that she hadn't felt in a while as she saw an open area, tents scattered around the area

(Y/N) slipped off the side of the saddle and grabbed the reins, leaning on wanderer as she limped towards it

Her eyes landed on the familiar face of the red headed Irish man carrying a shotgun as he kicked a rock while moving along the path

"Guard duty again?!? Damn why do dey gotta be a buncha' arses towards me" spat Sean before his head lifted up and his eyes landed on (Y/N)

He narrowed them and studied her for a moment before slowly dropping his gun "(Y/N)?!?!" He yelped in shock, slowly stepping forwards

(Y/N) gave a weak smile and coughed "long time no see..."

Sean's smile widened and he gave an exited leap "you're alive!" He laughed as he ran forwards and pulled her into a hug

Suddenly pain seared through (Y/N) and she gave a quick yelp of pain

Sean quickly pulled away from the hig and gave a gasp "holy shite! Da fuck happened??!" He quickly let her lean onto her shoudler as he guided her into camp, wanderer following

"Guys! Guys, get you're arses over here and help! (Y/N) is back and she ain't lookin' too good!" Sean hollered as they neared the hitching posts

As soon as (Y/N)'s name was mentioned many of the gang members began to file over, Javier being one of the first ones to appear

"She's alive!!" Cried Javier as he raced over, Arthur and Sadie following behind as the rest of the gang followed

Javier cupped her cheeks and stared into her eyes as tears dripped down his face "i-i thought I lost you....but now you're back! But you're hurt badly!" He cried as the rest of the gang circled around her

"I surely h-have a story t-to tell all o-of you.." (Y/N) choked as she gave a warm smile while the gang flooded her with questions

"Micah said you died..." breathed out Arthur as the gang jerked their heads over to the now nervous Micah

"She looked dead and h-had no pulse! Honestly if you were there you'd belive it too!" He yelped, raising his hands up in alarm

"Yeah right..." muttered john while reverend rolled his eyes beside him

(Y/N) groaned in pain and everyone's attention switched back to her as she stumbled away from Sean

She wobbled backwards as her world began to blur, darkness beginning to take over her vision

"(Y/N)?!?"

Javier's concerned shriek began to grow quieter as well as the panicked voices of the gang

(Y/N) gave a cough and then stumbled a bit before collapsing onto her back, the darkness engulfing her gaze as she returned to unconsciousness
