Well that was just great... And a catastrophe because your horse had just broken down dead in the middle of nowhere. You had no idea how far back the last town was let alone where the next one would be. And of course you didn’t want to be out here alone. But it seemed like you had no choice that time. However, you had yet another problem, your horse was lying exactly on the bags with your belongings. On a tree a couple of feet away sat a vulture, probably waiting until you left so it could feed on the horse. Or hoped to have you too.

A/N: Day 28 for Whumptober, today’s prompts: Bloody Knife | “You’ll have to go through me.”
-
Oddly, biting back a scream even distracted you a little from the pain. Not much but it still did. What didn’t help either was the fact that you knew you were as good as dead because the man that had found you thought he needed to take revenge on the man you loved, Ben Wade. Which of course involved killing you so your lover suffered. And he obviously enjoyed killing slowly or else he might have just shot you. Maybe if Ben had been around you could have understood he wanted to torture Ben even more by killing you slowly but like this… the man must really like it a lot. The thought sickened you even further. And he obviously didn’t like you not making a sound (or loud sounds at least) and dug the knife into your abdomen now instead of your thigh. This time you couldn’t hold back the scream and almost at the same time you heard your lover call your name. Well, seemed like he was back from his latest robbery.

A/N: Day 23 for Whumptober, today’s prompts: Shadows | “Who’s there?”
-
You weren’t sure if it had been the sound that woke you or if it happened after you were awake. But you instantly knew that you didn’t like it and first considered to just stay in bed and try to hide. Once you saw shadows outside that seemed to be sneaking around your house, however, you simply had to get up, hating the fact that exactly that night Ben and his gang had to leave for a robbery. Or maybe whoever was out there knew they were gone and this was why they were here. You grabbed the gun on the nightstand and put on a dressing gown, rubbing your eyes a little as you cocked the weapon and slowly tiptoed out of the bedroom, trying not to make a sound. There was a creak you knew all too well; it was when someone stepped onto one of the floorboards of the kitchen. And that also made it obvious that someone was in the house. A part of you hoped it was just Ben who had returned and didn’t want to wake you up.

A/N: Day eleven for Whumptober, today’s prompt: Animal trap
-
Had you not been in so much pain, you probably would have laughed out loud. After all, Ben had asked you to stay in their camp – in safety – and yet you wanted to stretch your legs a bit and walk around. And it had all gone very well at least until you had found this animal trap. And found meaning you stepped into it and activated it. You didn’t even know if it was one that Ben’s men had set up or some stranger. That also was the reason you didn’t cry for help. Out of fear that it was someone you didn’t know and who might harm you. Not that you just wanted to sit here and wait until someone help you, not in the slightest. You also were trying to remove the trap yourself but were too weak, not knowing if it was just because of the pain or in general. Or maybe there was an easy way to open it and you didn’t know... Of course you also hoped that in case you didn’t get it open yourself (which seemed most likely) you wouldn’t bleed to death. On the other hand if you could remove it yourself you’d also have to bind the wound to avoid that. Maybe the best way was to try and bind off the leg so you wouldn’t lose more blood and then try not to move to not make the wound even bigger and therefore worse. So you ripped of a piece of your shirt and tried to bind it around the trapped leg just under the knee. Not too tight though because you did not want to cut off all the blood and possibly lose the leg. Then you decided to wait a bit and try to gather some strength and hoping the initial pain would fade a little before you could try to free yourself again.

A/N: Day nine for Whumptober, today’s prompt: “You’re a liar”
-
Generally, being in love with Ben Wade was a beautiful thing. But having to keep it a secret because no one could ever know you were seeing a wanted outlaw was not nice. Others could just flirt with you and you could not tell them that you were taken and you could not talk to anyone about the feelings you had. And you hated having secrets in general. Quite often you also had the suspicion that your family suspected something. After all it wasn’t always easy to make sure no one noticed when you sneaked off in the middle of the night to meet your lover. Then, your father managed to make it even worse by betrothing you to someone without even really asking you. For weeks you considered what you could do and if you should just leave and run away with Ben instead or stay and what was asked of you and get a grip on your life. But it wasn’t what you wanted, at least right now.
With each time you went to see Ben, you suspected more that people knew. There were glances you got in town, even from people that didn’t know you that well. Usually ,you wouldn’t have minded but the fact that they might know your secret and judged you for it or would even punish you was almost unbearable. But then one day you started to wish you hadn’t been approached by the sheriff. He just appeared in front of you with your arms crossed in the middle of the street.

A/N: Day six for Whumptober, today’s prompts: Made to Watch | “It should have been me.”
-
Both Ben and you had known that you being with him and having a family wouldn’t be safe. Because being an infamous outlaw there were way too many people that your husband had angered and that would want revenge eventually. And it would seem that today such people had found you and also knew who you were. Or well, maybe they just had found Ben’s and your house, where you were staying with your daughter and then realized who the girl and you were and what they could use the two of you for. To your dismay, they also needed to play it safe and make sure that the gang would not interfere, meaning they dragged you away from the town and then rode off with you. But not before they had cut a strand of hair from the two of you and placed them in plain sight that Ben would instantly know something was wrong. If you remembered correctly, they even left a letter. Instead of trying to flee all you did was trying to calm your daughter down out of fear that the men could hurt her if she wasn’t quiet. They stopped in what seemed to be a little camp and only now thought of binding your hands and feet. Of course your daughter protested and struggled again but stood no chance. So she glared at your captors with a look you knew all too well from your husband
“You will regret this” she growled “My Daddy will find out what you did and come here” their leader laughed grabbing her chin
“Let her go” you shrieked but they only slapped the back of your head

If you were honest, you were almost bored by your father’s speeches by now. They always were about how great he, his plan and their loot was. But his men seemed to adore them or were too scared to pretend they didn’t like it as you could due to your special status. Today, however, you were listening because somehow he didn’t sound pleased and even worse, the person he was mad at was his second in command, Ben. The two of you were courting and of course your father knew and allowed it because he was very proud of his ‘protégé’.

“No lounging! Get back to work” the warden cried as he raised his whip threateningly. You bit your teeth together and picked up your hammer again. At least you could be glad that you weren’t punished more except for the small shove you had gotten earlier. But it would seem that Ben still didn’t like it. Well, to be fair it was due to him that you were here. Because he was an outlaw and when they had arrested him, the both of you had been sent to this labor camp because you had been riding with him and weren’t even a part of the gang. His pleas to let you go fell onto deaf ears and so he now was doing everything he could that you left as unscathed as possible. Even if it meant more trouble or work for him. “Same goes for you” the warden yelled giving your lover a push too before focusing on someone else who wasn’t working quick enough in his opinion.

With a sigh you left your daughter’s bedroom after she had deemed it necessary to dash out of her bed again. At least you know where to look for her because the reason she left was to get a goodnight kiss from her father, despite having gotten one earlier as Ben went to work. By the time you entered the saloon, your husband already held her in his arms and was peppering little kisses all over her face, making her squeal in delight. It was still early so there wasn’t too much going on in the saloon yet.
“And now off to bed with you” he decided when you approached them

You were glad that Ben had heard the riders approach some time before they arrived because it gave you time to hide in a bush. Not that you were glad that you were in safety while Ben still was out there but in case something happened you could try to help him or get help. Somehow you wished he would go hiding with you as well but he told you that whoever was there would notice that someone had been here and then start looking. All he wanted was that you were safe. And it wasn’t even said that the people out there were your enemies. Maybe just travelers that wouldn’t even pay any attention to you. But when they approached it was soon obvious that they knew Ben and had been looking for him. He managed to deal with a few of them before he was out of shots. Instantly you gripped your own gun, considering if you should step in already. But you doubted that you could shoot all four of them at this distance and more importantly before they noticed you.

You hated it when your house came back into view. It meant this was where Ben left you and sometimes you didn’t know how long it would be until you saw him again.

Your heart was beating rapidly while you were waiting for your Ben, your lover, to appear. Usually you weren’t nervous to see him. But today it was different. Today wasn’t a meeting you really wanted. You had been forced to call it by a gang of outlaws. Outlaws that had something against Ben and wanted him to pay. And they needed your help to get to him because they knew about you. You wished you could have disagreed and sent them to hell. In fact, you even had done so but then they had threatened that they would kill your whole family, except for you, if you didn’t lure Ben into a trap for them. And so you had to choose your family over Ben. Maybe he had a chance to defend himself or would get help from his gang. Finally, you could see him riding towards you and for once you wished he would just turn around and leave.

Ben had always known that this day might be coming. That someone would find out about you and use you to hurt your husband. And somehow deep down, you had had that fear too but always dismissed it with the fact that you could never be safe. But when these guys actually came and held you hostage for a few days until Ben came home, then dragged you to the barn where they chained you up against a post, you didn’t know what they planned to do. It only became clear after they seemed done with beating up your husband that they threw him into the barn too, only semiconscious and then proceeded to lock the doors and – as far as you could tell – nail them and all the windows shut. This was not good. You knew what would be coming but once you smelled the fire and the smoke, you started to panic even more.

“What do you mean ‘They won’t come’?” you cried out as you held your stomach.
“I’m sorry. They haven’t changed their minds” Ben replied taking a seat at the side of the bed and gently stroking your arm.
“But-but they can’t just say no to helping me with labor just because we’re not married! They can’t do that. What about the doctor?”
“He was even worse than the midwives”
“Well, what about someone else? Like a mother? Someone who’s been through this before” another contraction made you groan and you started to panic.
“Do you really want me to go out there, trying every door to find someone to help?” you felt tears in your eyes.

How long hadn’t you seen Ben now? Eighteen years? Twenty? Well, minus that short time you had seen him from afar about fourteen years ago. So, logically, you almost couldn’t believe it when he showed up at your doorstep, asking if you’d let him in.
“What are you doing here?” you asked, hoping it wouldn’t sound reproachful. And well, even if it was the case, you had a reason to be mad at him because he had left you all those years ago, deciding that you needed someone better than him all by himself and never giving you the chance to say goodbye. He gave a shrug and slowly came inside, taking off his hat and placing it on top of your coatrack.
“I know it’s sudden… but I didn’t really know where else to go”
“Are you in trouble?”
“No” he shook his head and sighed
“Then what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just don’t know what to do with my life” you felt your heart beat faster. Was he saying he might stay here with you? Because even after all these years, after what he’d done, you still were as much in love with him as then.
“Oh” you looked down “How about you come in, I make us some coffee and then you tell me everything?”

The sun was burning down and yet you shivered. Not because you were cold but because you were scared. It had been hours since the guys who had robbed your carriage and driven away all the horses had left. At least they had not done anything worse. First you had tried to walk the rest of the way but not even knowing where you were you had little to no chances to find the town you were headed. And the fact that you had no water didn’t make things better, in contrary. This was why you finally had to stop and decided to wait for help. You probably had fallen asleep because suddenly it was dark and you felt a hand on your shoulder.
“Hey, there, you okay?”
“I… what happened? Who are you?” you tried to sit up but the hand stopped you
“Careful. Don’t know what happened but you seem to have been lying here a while. I’m Ben and who are you?”
“(Y/N)” you muttered and this time he helped you to sit. Slowly you rubbed your hurting shoulder
“Need some water?”
“Guess so” gratefully you accepted the flagon and drank a few sips. “Thank you” you looked around but couldn’t see much except for the men near you.
“You remember what happened now, (Y/N)?”
“I… I think I was robbed. Yes, there were a couple of bandits, they robbed the carriage, took everything I had and left me here. I tried to walk but didn’t get far”
“Yeah” Ben said “Saw your carriage about four miles back”
“Oh” you didn’t know what else to say “I wanted to get to town. But… I think I lost my way. I just…” you buried your face in your hands and wanted to cry. “Where am I?”
“A good thirteen miles from Silver City, New Mexico”
“Ah that’s where I was headed”
“Well… not really”
“Huh?” he pointed to the left “It’s that way, you probably would’ve ended up in Arizona that way”
“Oh” you tried to get up and in the direction he pointed
“What are you doing?”
“I should get going”
“No way. Not now. Stay with us for the night and tomorrow I can bring you there”
“What?”
“Why not?”
“Because it’s night. And if you’re not used to it you don’t want to be out there riding or even walking at that time” it was only now that something clicked in your mind. The men in front of you probably were outlaws too that they were out at that time. After all, they didn’t look like cowboys and didn’t have cows with them either. Gasping in shock, you tried to scurry away but fell over your own feet and landed back on your ass. “Easy there”
“You’re outlaws!” you breathed “Yeah… but we’re not gonna hurt you, promise. I don’t hurt innocents okay? Just relax and get some sleep. You’re safe with us” somehow you didn’t know if you should trust them but you didn’t have much of a choice if you didn’t want to be all alone out there. Which wasn’t something you wanted. And besides you already had lost all of value you owned, so there was not much they could still do to you, was there?
