An exhausting, dormant rage has finally erupted within him. Has been pumping through his veins, roaringย in his heartย for so very longย that he damn near FORGOT what it felt like to be calm. Happy. Blissfully ignorant of his very own suffering. The past few days have made the gentle giant utterly unrecognizable โย his weathered face twisted into a scowl, his white-knuckle gripย holding a mace dripping in fresh viscera,ย and his clothes soaked in blood that certainly wasnโt his own.ย
But the sound of her voice from the shadows is enough to quell the storm in his newly-awakened mind. To steady the rapid, laboring, burningย breaths of his artificial lungs. To bring theย memories flashing before his eyes to FOCUS onย a sweet little girl with mousy brown hair, one who heโs practically raised over the years, without even knowing heโd done so. Not until now.
ย ย ย โ โฆย Ellie? โ
August remembers it all. Everything. The pranks theyโd pull on the other hosts. The way heโd carry her on his shoulders so she could get a better view of the sunset, of the crowd, of his world. The late evenings after closing time when he taught her how to ride a horse, to fish, to hunt, to throw axes. The collection of trinkets sheโd given him over the decades that still stand proudly on his bedside table.ย The small elephant figurine he made for her birthday.ย ย
He approaches her slowly, cautiously. More than aware that, given his blood-drenched shirt and skin, itโs likely going to take some CONVINCING to assure her that he means her no harm. All he can hope is that the concern on his face is human enough to communicate his genuine care for the young lady heโs come to consider family. UNCLE GUS. Thatโs what she always called him. And he wonders if she can still manage toย look at him the same way, given the state of him. Of this hell hole he calls home.ย He reaches out a hand and, although he does not touch her, Augustย achesย to embrace her and comfort her as heโs done so MANY times before.
He stares on as the sopping red splotch on her shirt continues to dye the fabric, blood all but pouring from her wound. The sight alone is enough to bring a tear to the hostโs eye.
ย ย ย โ Oh hell, darlinโ โ who did this tโya? โย
The barrel of the pistol trailed the figure as they shifted through the abandoned room; tentatively waiting for a reason to pull the trigger. Her heartbeat overwhelmingly pounded in her chest, stretching to her fingertips and heard every deafening beat. Every step taken in her direction heightened her apprehension. Her hold around the grip tightened as she pressed herself further into the wall.
Emily attentively watched at the stranger in front of her, eyes narrowed and tense attitude, unflinching. The gun remained pointed with a steady aim as her finger moved to the trigger, a simple gesture, nevertheless an inimicalย warning. When the man stood in front of her, Emily remained wary of his presence. From bloodstained clothes and skin to his sun-beaten features - she studied every minuscule detail as she maintained a hostile atmosphere with a drawn firearm and cautious nature. As they lingered in the vacant room an unsettling silence flooded, transforming soundless noises such a gentle breeze into howling gusts. Her expression instantly softened once Emily recognized precisely the person - or host - that was before her.
As a child, Westworld was never her favorite, but it held some sentiment. William took her there often, it was their father-daughter time. The risk-less adventures, thrilling experiences, and the endless stretch of land were enjoyable, but most of the fondest memories happened in Sweetwater - ironically. Nothing compared to the modest town. She would beg her father to take her along before smuggling in priceless mementos into the park for one host - August.
The worrisome question dragged her back into reality. She followed his gaze down to her bleeding wound then back to Gus. All incidents leading up to the present stirred her inner feelings producing a dangerous combination of mixed emotions. Beneath the exhilaration of the reunion, frustration festered deep within her chest. From her mother's suicide to her father's far-fetched fantasies only contributed to her preexisting enmity. Mixed in with the anger there was a firm grasp on affliction and grief. When William dismissed her desperate efforts for him to believe that she wasn't a host... A sense of immense dread engulfed her. His actions did more damage than the bullets fired at her.
Emily bit her lip, looking away from August as she composed herself before all her condensed emotions led into an unwanted outburst. Despite her desperate efforts, she faltered for brief moments. She couldn't bring herself to give eye contact at the man, each attempt brought her back to square one.ย
Inhaling a deep breath, finally recollecting herself, her response dripping resentment, "๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐."
Her eyes glanced up and down at August, nodding at his red-stained outfit, "๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ?"

When she pays for his drinks and yet replies with such defiance, admittedly Samuel is rather taken aback; it is rare for a woman to speak back to him, in truth it is ever rarer that he gives one cause to, but regardless, he admires her grit, even if he does suspect itโs likely to get her in trouble in a town like this.
โEscalante is about a weeksโ ride from here to the South West, itโs at the bottom of the Unclaimed Territoriesโฆdangerous down there.โ Samuel confirms, studying her expression. In truth the last thing he wants to do is encounter that demon in black again, but that stanch hesitation is at odds with his programming, the code that beckons him to interact with guests so he can help them fulfil their desire for adventure.
โBut I wouldnโt recommend heading down there yourself Missโฆโ He states flatly, leaning against the bar, a change in his demeanour only obvious to those paying very close attention.
โโฆnot without a man who knows the areaโฆkind of man who sleeps with his finger on the triggerโฆโ
He turns to her, there is no smile on his face and yet his stance does seem warmed somehow.
โโฆkind of man who would expect to be paid well for his trouble.โ
---- At the edge of the Southwest region of the map - alright, it sounded relatively straightforward. Due to her involvement and lineage, Emily knew the general layout of the park to get on the right track although it wasnโt perfect.ย
โ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.โ Giving a small nod and brief smile, she dismissed herself from the bar.
Being a few paces out when the host volunteered to show her the location of the desolate town, Emily paused to reflect on the offer for several seconds. The suggestion was too pivotal to let it slide by. She returned back to her location and looked at the man at the bar, her interest caught once again. Yet the sudden shift in his manner threw Emily off for a second. A moment ago he was actively refusing to confront the fiend that inhabited the outskirts. Those spouted lines of scripted dialogue made her doubt at her intentions and reasoning. Was she really doing this?ย
Her gaze dropped down to the dusty flooring, mulling it over.
โ๐๐จ๐ฎโ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐,โ Emily firmly promised, glancing up at down at him. โ๐๐จ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ.โ
There was no surprise when the individual demanded money in exchange for an escort and, arguably, security. There was always money or compensation to be involved with all generous deeds - it was how the world operated.
When the other acknowledged he was ready, Emily saddled up on her horse and followed alongside him away of Sweetwater,ย โ๐๐ซ๐๐๐, ๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ. ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐.โ

Heโs staring out at the trees.ย He always does. They are so natural to him- they make sense. But this so-called civilisation?- it doesnโt. He wants to try to fit into this world of honest labour and peaceful living with his darling wife. He wants to so desperately. But somehow he is left in this state of longing time and time again. Heโs a fox trapped in a cage- Having been taken from a den-a life heโd been so used to.- And he hates himself for it. He hates the way that other men look down on him while he shines their shoes. He hates the way they speak to him- sometimes even spitting in his direction. He hates how he bites back the urge to put his own boot right where the sun doesnโt shine. And most of all, he hates that he canโt change for her. The most beautiful women heโd ever met. Damn him. Damn him to Hell for that. How can he possibly look her in the eyes, knowing that heโd stolen today? After promising to never do it again. Heโd promised the most important person in his life something- and broken itโฆ
โ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง.โ
Hazel brown eyes snap away from the window. Heโd been numb to her affectionate gesture up until now. He was just so lost in his thoughts that he hadnโt felt anythingโฆ His hands move to hold hers, tight.ย โI was miles away.โ He confesses this much, letting out a soft chuckle.ย โI-โ He wants to create some sort of excuse, something other than that, but he can tell by the way she looks at him, that heโs fooling no one. Bessie is just about the only person he canโt lie to, at least not for long- not that he wants to, he disgusts himself whenever he does. But in a way, lying is in his nature.ย โโฆI was.โ He replied, defeated.ย
โI guess this way of life is- well, itโs yet to grow on me.โ As soon as his frown had appeared, it disappears, being traded for a warm smile.ย โBut, I do have you, my dearest, darling, Bessie.โ He leans in to plant a kiss on her cheek- Is this attempt to butter her up- to get her to drop the subject? Partly, yes. But Hosea always switches on the charm when its just the two of them.
There were times when she missed the thrill of the outlaw days, mainly in those momentary seconds when everything around became remarkably monotone. Shifting from an exhilarating standard of living to a calm environment was a challenging adjustment, however, some adapted to the peaceful method of life quicker than the others.
Granted, Bessie missed the open world and the freedoms they held onto, but not the echoes of gunfire paces away or the sting of a grazing bullet. Like Hosea, she had done things like steal valuable items from drunkards, coercing information from unsuspecting individuals, and/or swindling some rich folk - the list was endless. Bessie wasnโt one to hide that part from herself or anyone else. However, as she grew older the risks began to outweigh the benefits, she realized that her life was not worth a short-lived high. ย
Her nimble hands loosely grasped Hoseaโs as her eyes studied the details that made him unique. As he stammered, Bessieโs hold slowly tightened as her thumb skimmed across the top of his hand, patiently waiting for him accompanied with a wordless encouragement. Her head tilted in the slightest when he admitted his thoughts. Bessie should have felt a sense of triumph when he finally confessed, yet she didnโt; it just wasnโt in her nature to react that way.
โI guess this way of life is- well, itโs yet to grow on me.โ
A tiny laugh escaped her breath which led into a smile, โ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ.โ
She knew no matter what Hosea claimedโฆ The way he eyed the outer world that stretched to the west - it said otherwise. Bessie had thought about it for a long time, a really long time. She knew the outlaw lifestyle was Hoseaโs calling; in some manner it would be cruel to keep him tethered for her own personal desires.
Bessie shifted in silence a smile lingering on her from her husbandโs affection, but her eyes shown the opposite. An uneasy silent permeated the room.
"๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ค?"

โWell ainโt no man can walk through bullets neither.โ Samuel quips bitterly. Still unable to understand it, the man laughing as Samuel unloaded his gun into his chest like it was nothing. He may not be a ghost, but that doesnโt mean Sam doesnโt feel haunted by what heโs seen. Such senseless violence and the morbid joy the man took in it has disturbed Samuel and turned his stomach; a sickness that even whiskey canโt seem to settle.
โUp at the Thompson homestead.โ He confirms, finally noticing her keen interest in the tail.
โSaid something about riding on to Escalante, but everybody knows that townโs been buried under sand for years.โ
Studying her, Samuel begins to wonder if she may be a bounty hunter of some kind, she certainly isnโt dressed like most of the woman in this town. Is she hunting this man perhaps? Even if thereโs good money in it, itโs not a chase Samuel would condone.
โYou ainโt thinkinโ of going after him?โ He asks incredulously, shaking his head.
โWoman, have you been listeninโ to a damn word I just said, heโs a dangerous man, I canโt in good conscience, let you go riskinโ yourself over a man like that!โ
โ๐โ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ .โ She countered back with a confident tone, interrupting him for a brief second. Emily collected a few items before she paid for the gentleman's bill along with her tab; a token of gratefulness for his troubles and, especially, the valuable information.
"๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ - ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฌ๐ค๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ."
Regardless, Emily was going to uncover who this entity was. Unknown to the daughter, her unwavering ambitions paralleled her father's; both pursuing answers to questions, but her hunger for answers was not enough to die over. She still carried a considerable degree of skepticism over the idea of her father being the character this stranger claimed him to be. And after all, she was receiving information from a host (at least she assumed) whose job was to immerse guests into the narrative. Yet her mind nagged at the possibility of the what if's.
She had considered traveling to the first location the host mentioned, Thompson homestead. However, whoever she was seeking would be long gone. She would be following an infinite trail and playing a continuous game of catch up, so progressing towardsEscalante seemed the most reasonable.
Regardless of her last comment and her own uncertainty, she persisted, "๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ๐?"

Just a few photos from last years journey back home to the Midwest.
Canโt wait to head back.ย
Suddenly, Emily resurfaced from the blue, gasping air, coughing up water from her lungs. The entirety of her body stung from smashing into the waterline from a towering altitude. Her clothes became waterlogged with freezing waters as she kept her afloat. Ultimately, forcing her to take an immediate course of action.
Desperately swimming to the edge of the lake, Emily began to haul herself onto the shore - winded, disoriented, barely staying conscious. The sun's natural warmth blanketed her, a welcoming feeling, as her body shivered to generate heat. The environment around Emily spun while the world began to darken and her senses began to deaden. With her energy depleted to its limit, she collapsed into the muddy bank.ย
The galloping of hooves shook the ground before gradually succumbing to a halt; Emily stirred before regaining some semblance consciousness. Shadows stretched across the mud obstructed out the sun, reassuring her that it was not a figment of her own imagination.
Emily peered up at the people, squinting. The brightness of the sun eclipsed the features of the figures in front, presenting themselves as living, breathing silhouettes. She brought up a hand to block out the sun, "๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญโ๐ฌโ". The reflection of sunlight from the gun instantly snapped her out of an incoherent state. A secondary rush of adrenaline deposited into her blood system as an expression of panic flashed on her face, yet the presence of the firearm kept her from fleeing.ย She slowly rose up with her hands held up, still unsteady. She looked at from one individual to the other, waiting in anticipation for the words for an execution.ย _________ @copiesofmeโ

He was deep in thought again; she could tell by the way he gazed at the world through their window. Bessie knew the main reason despite the numerous claims and no matter how many times he stated that life was behind him - it wasnโt. She knew it and no amount of tall tales could persuade her from thinking so.
The outlaw life did have its benefits as well as its losses. Limitless independence from civilization, however, the price of those liberties often resulted in violence. The van der Linde gang was unmistakably a family as every person cared for one another. They would kill each other, and in cases, they have. However, for Bessie, the outlaw chapter of her life was at its end. She never regretted her involvement and treasured her memories, but it was time to move on.
The dew from the late-night shower glistened as the sunlight beat down on the wildflowers. The birds and insects sang their own song with the cry of an elk contributing to the tune. Giving a small nip on his shoulder, Bessie sat down next to Hosea with an affectionate smile. She said nothing as her silence could express more than words could. Ultimately granting Hosea an opportunity to say something whether it was a rebuttal or confession, but the silence carried on. She sincerely joked, glancing over at him, โ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง.โ

At first, it didn't hurt but after the rush of adrenaline and hysteria, those bullet wounds sent an excruciating sensation throughout the right side of her body. After getting herself to safety, away from her father, Emily took cover behind a rotting tree that had fallen over. She pressed herself tightly against the decaying wood as she listened for footsteps. So far - nothing. Only the natural serenity of the forest could be heard.
Everything ached, everything burned. Her lungs pleaded for air through deep breaths while a continuous dull soreness gnawed away at her body. Blood began to saturate her shirt, turning it into a dark red where her injuries were. As much as her body yearned for another minute of rest, Emily heaved herself to her feet. If she did not move now and without proper medical attention, she would be dead before sunrise.
The once bustling town of Sweetwater was now reduced to a desolate ghost town. The combination of constant chatter and music was now left to halting stillness. The dead piled the streets accompanied by blood-stained and broken windows were just a few features.ย
She tethered her horse to the post before entering the abandoned store. With a gun in her hand, she thoroughly investigated the dwelling for occupiers - none. She holstered her firearm before hastily rummaging through the building, finding what she needed. With a shaky hand, Emily grabbed her wrist and slowly inhaled before a regulated exhale. However, a creak in the floorboards caught her attention and drew her gun immediately from her holster. She pointed it at the entrance of the room, pulling back the hammer, โ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ญ.โ
