these ones !! INBOX IS OPEN. ALWAYS ACCEPTING.
it wasn’t exactly the way she wanted to end her first week in the past. the one of many weeks spent with grace and her family but ana knew that something like this was bound to happen sooner or later - interaction with the not so nice people of the small town. grace had warned her about going into the busiest part of the town on her own, but she was an adult she knew how to look after herself - but well, the pinkertons weren’t just anyone. they had somehow heard on the grapevine about a new girl joining dutch’s camp and they hadn’t had the opportunity to suss her out, until that evening. they cornered her outside the bar in front of the alleyway. she was surprised that no one was going to do anything. but then she remembered that it wasn’t the 21st century anymore. everyone was scared of them.
she wasn’t scared but she had to pretend to be, they were handsy and a little too rough, she was never going to keep her hair down again - but ana was a matheson born and bred. she knew that fighting back might make things worse, but it also could have scared them off but in the end all it did was cause a bruise to appear on her face and a split lip. ana had been tempted to kill them all then and there but arthur had already intervened.
“ this girl yours, morgan? ” one of them taunted a hand running down ana’s cheek. she twisted in his grip and let her lips curl. when her eyes caught arthur’s she gave him a weak smile. her lip hurt and her hands were bleeding but she was standing tall (well as best she could in someone elses grip) and wasn’t backing down. arthur looked from ana to the pinkerton that was holding her by the arm and sighed heavily.
“ she is. ” arthur responded, his jaw was tight and ana could tell that he was mad. it’s only been seven days and she could already guess his tells. she snorted then as everything seemed to disband before it really began. a copper strolled past, and she knew that they didn’t want to cause a scene. not yet anyway. “ come on, ana. ” the brunette ripped her arm out from the hold and slinked past the oldest looking one, giving him a smug look before picking up the pace and sliding next to arthur, as he reached out and grabbed a hold of her elbow and started to drag her away from the bar.
“ thanks. ” she mumbled as she tried to keep pace with the cowboy. “ but i could have handled them myself. ” arthur grunted in response and ana couldn’t help the smirk that crossed her lips.
“ what if i just break his nose a lil’? ” he commented after being silent for a couple of seconds, making their way back to his horse - ana couldn’t help the snort of laughter that escaped her lips.
“ i suppose you could. ” ana hefted herself up onto the saddle and looked down at the cowboy who had let her into the camp. grace’s other half. ana knew that grace shepard was still the better half of the two, so ana knew that arthur wouldn’t let anything happen to her. “ but you gotta let me break his arm. ”
