can we get Micah's s/o going with John and Sadie to find Micah but she doesn't wanna kill him, she just wants him to come home with her?
Please check if the ask box is open AND read my “What I write” post before sending in an ask. Thank you.
Combining these two cause I honestly didn’t even know if I was gonna be able to do it…
This uh… got very angsty… I’m sorry? Also this is kinda a deconstructed fic I guess.
You hear from Sadie that she knows where he is
She’s going to get John and Charles and they’re going to kill him
You hadn’t seen him in years
Not as long as the others
She told you, no reason not to
You asked her when the three of them planned on going
She told you as soon as she got to John’s ranch to tell him
She asked if you wanted to come along
She, like the others, were under the impression that you and Micah had a falling out before everything hit the fan
When in reality he’d told you to run
He told you what he’d done
And he made sure you were well away from it all
The last time you’d seen him he told you to stay away
You’d been with his gang for a little while
He didn’t like the way his men looked at you
You promised him you’d stay away
And he promised to come get you once things worked out
You knew Dutch was with him
You didn’t tell anyone, you couldn’t
Sadie took off towards John’s ranch
And you took off in the opposite direction
You found Cleet before they did
He told you where Micah was
Knew you weren’t going to kill him or Micah
He honestly figured you’d just bumped into him by chance
That’s the way you made it seem
Once you had a location you were off
You were ahead of the other, though not by much
As you approached the mountain a shot was fired at your feet
You raised your arms, you hadn’t even been holding a weapon
Thankfully the man who shot at you, recognized your voice when you shouted to him
Though he was confused as to why you were there he let you climb the mountain where others soon met you
Again at least two of the men knew you
You asked where he was, they simply pointed
No one questioned why you were there, save for a few of the new guys
(But it was explained who you were, as well as that you were not to be touched
Micah had threatened to kill anyone who touched you when he’d first started the gang
they’d never forget after he’d shot the man who’d only just checked you out)
As you approached the building you were pointed towards you called out to him
He burst out the door, the sound of your voice had scared honest to god scared him
“What the hell are you doin’ here?”
He didn’t look happy to see you
“They know where you are. They’re comin’ for you.”
You walk right passed him and into the building
You note Dutch sitting on a cot furthest from the door, looking at the floor, but don’t say anything to him
Micah shuts the door behind him
“Who do you think? John. Sadie and Charles.”
Dutch’s head perks up while Micah grins at this, excited
“Thanks for the warning, darlin’, but I told you-”
“They’re going to kill you! They invited me to help, I couldn’t just let it happen.”
“I ain’t dyin’, sweetheart.”
“You think they can’t make it through all those men?” you gesture behind you. “You think you’re safe here?”
He let out a chuckle and sat down on a crate by the makeshift tree stump table
“Let ‘em come.” He took out his guns and twirled them with a grin.
“You- you idiot, I came here to save you! Not just warn you. You have to leave.”
“And where do you want me to go?”
“With me. Anywhere. Please.”
The desperation in your voice tugged at his heart and he replaced his guns in their holsters.
“I don’t want you to die,” you plead.
“You will. Don’t you get it? They’re still so angry, Micah. They’ll never give you up. They don’t even know he’s with you,” You motion towards Dutch. “this is all about getting you.”
He could see you were on the verge of tears.
“I ain’t runnin’,” he says as he shakes his head
You didn’t care what his men thought of him
“If you stay, you’ll die…”
“‘M sorry darlin’, I ain’t leavin’,”
You look to Dutch, he’s watching the two of you silently with a small frown
You look back to Micah who won’t look you in the eye
“Then I’m stayin’,” you announce.
“I’m stayin’ they’ll have to kill me too.”
“You ain’t stayin’,” he growled as he stood “You promised you’d stay far away from me, it’s for your own good-!”
“And you promised you’d come get me! So we could be together! You can’t do that if you’re dead! Micah, please!”
At this point you’re crying
Tear after tear streaming down your cheeks
You grab his hands and he closes his eyes
The two of you turn your heads to look at Dutch
“I taught that boy to shoot a gun, he ain’t gonna miss. Ain’t none of your men gonna be left alive either. So go.”
You give Micah’s hands a small tug
He looked back to you and meets your eyes
You can see his resolve breaking
After a moment he closes his eyes again
You throw your arms around him and his immediately do the same
His face in your hair, he takes a deep inhale
“I did miss you, darlin’,” he admits quietly. “I want you to know that.”
When John and the others arrive
They take out Micah’s men
With Micah nowhere to be found John confronts Dutch, who’d stayed behind.
John doesn’t kill him, he demands to know where Micah is
He also notices that you stopped visiting
You’d moved out of your house, leaving a small hand written letter
I honestly didn’t know how to end this and this took FOREVER to come to my brain. Sorry it took so long but I hope you liked it and didn’t mind all that angst.
