Chapter 3 Silent deaths in the night and a rescue

I slowly walk to him and take my knife out when I'm just in front of him he opens his eyes in a quick motion I raise my left hand and punch him in the face.

He wakes up and goes to get up, I rush and tackle him down and hit him in the face a few times I take my knife out and put it to his throat.

Ok talk why are you O'Driscoll's here tell me good information and I'll let u live.

(He stammers clrearly afraid for his life).

We came here to get away from the law.

I look at him and ask him where colm and the rest of them are.

(He stammers again).

They are camped out at an old mining camp southwest of here near a lake.

I put my hand over his mouth and side strike him with my knife to his brain.

(The shine in his eyes goes out as he looks at me in shock).

(Ding) you have received 5 EXP

This is my first ever kill I feel a little discomfort but not much.

But seriously for a man's life I only get 5 damn EXP that's cold Rob these are human lives or is it less for the innocent and more for the innocent and less for the guilty ill have to experiment(I think in my head).

Alright he's dead close the barn doors and get some sleep I'll take the first watch they might be awake for a while.

Alright Arthur wake us up when their passed out.

Night Morgan.

(Says Micah while heading to a bill of hay after putting his horse in a stall).

I look back at the dead guys body and search him

I found a knife that'll be helpful if i want to get more EXP. (Ding) new weapon unlock Bandit's knife.

I also find a few crackers. I take the body outside behind the barn.

When I go back in to the bar, I wait for things to go quiet.

A few hours of waiting it is less dark out but thankfully because of the blizzard it's hard to see I haven't heard any noise for a while I go to Dutch and wake him up and say I think it's time as Micah starts to wake up.

(yawwwwn).

Finally, I've been bored and freezing my nuts off let's go get rid of some O'Driscoll's (says Micah with bags in his eyes and an ugly grin).

(Ding) A blue window shows up in front of me.

Kill all O'Driscolls silently, save Sadie Adler and stop the house from burning down reward 55 Exp and a warm bed to sleep in.

Do you Accept

Yes. or. No.

Yes.

(I say in my mind).

(Ding).

Quest has been accepted (with that the window disappears).

Ok boys let's do this.

Arthur it's your plan you're in charge (Says Dutch).

Ok Dutch you two stay far behind I'm going to kill the lookout then I'll look inside and see if i can handle it, I'll give you two the signal if i need help.

Micah try not to fuck up with your big mouth.

Don't you worry about me Morgan I'll be as quiet as a mouse.

Alright let's get this over with (I say As Micah is helping Dutch open the barn door, I'm getting my knife ready).

(They both pull the door open not too much just enough for me to pass through).

I go outside and run to the side of the house as I get close I crouch down I stick close to the walls.

As I get to the front I look through the window I see about 11 men passed out and a lot more than in the game.

I see some on the floor and a few in the kitchen and in the beds.

Oh, beautiful EXP alright time to kill some rats.

I move backwards from the house while I look forward cautiously (I'm a little nervouse one fuck up and im dead i say in my head). I see no one through the window or the lookout that was supposed to have a rifle up their.

Don't tell me these idiots don't have a lookout what morons, well this makes things easier I look at Micah and Dutch at the side of the house and signal them to stay.

(They nod).

I go to the door and slowly open it enough to look, I see that everyone is still sleeping, and I can smell the liquor coming off them.

The house smells like shit and piss I'm going to need to remember to take baths regularly, so I don't die from some disease.

I walk inside closing the door behind me, I go to the closest man he's unconscious on the table and another is sitting on a chair, I go behind the chair raise my knife and quickly stick it in the back of his head.

(Ding).

You have earned 5 EXP.

System turn of the notifications for gaining EXP.

(Notifications for gaining EXP are turned off).

(In my head I think to myself).

Hmmmmm is it weird that I don't feel anything after taking another life probably because these are terrible men and if they had a chance they'd torture me and flay my skin.

I go to every man one by one quietly and kill them with a stab to the head, I go to the stairs and when I climb to the top and I see one man on a small bed with a gun to his side I slowly go to him when suddenly a loud (creeeaaaaak).

FUCK I yell in my head.

He opens an eye while rubbing the other looking my way when he notices he jogs his brain awake and goes to grab his gun but before he gets to it I tackle him back to the bed and I stab the knife in his stomach at least seven times.

I hear a yelp and I fall back, he goes to jump on me I grab the gun before he reaches me and used dead eye.

As the world slowed down I felt myself getting hungry quick and I use all my strength to point at his head and I hear a loud

(Powwww).

The man's brain went out through the back of his head, his body falls on me and some blood covers my clothes as I push his body to his side and get up I go down the stairs.

When I'm about to step off I hear a bammm I turn around and see Dutch and Micah with their guns out ready to kill they see me covered in blood and when they look around and see everyone dead Dutch asks

(You ok Arthur?)

Yea I'm alive someone woke, and I had to blow his brains out.

Alright you boys look around and see what you can find we need the essentials food medicine and whiskey says Dutch.

Micah looks at me and says you look like a real killer now Morgan but did you have to kill them all you could've left me some (in a mocking voice).

I ignore him go to the table and move the lamp to the counter I am not letting this place burn this time.

I go to the bed and move the chest and I see an opening as I open the cellar door I am greeted by a woman.

(I act surprised).

I say a loud Dutch I found someone.

(Dutch comes to the cellar opening).

Hello mam its ok the bad men are dead. Are you alright?

(She looks at him with an scared and confused look).

Mam its ok were not here to hurt you my name is Dutch Vanderlin may I ask your name.

(She looks at him hesitantly and finally pushes out some words).

M-m-m-my names Sadie... Sadie Adler.

They killed my husband.

(she says as she starts to cry).

Don't you worry mam you're ok now come on up.

(I say as I put my hand out to the cellar to help her up).

She goes to climb up she grabs my hand and starts climbing.

When she gets out into the light I notice she's wearing a silk dress and she looks even more beautiful than the game showed.

(I say to myself). That husband of hers is a lucky bastard well was a lucky bastard.

I look at Dutch and start talking to him on what to do next while Sadie sits on the bed and tries to calm down.

Dutch I think I should stay here to make sure no O'Driscoll's show u.

Arthur we need you at camp.

(Says Dutch almost immediately).

The camp isn't that far I'll go there 3 days a week.

(Dutch thinks for a while).

Ok stay here but stay safe and if any O'Driscoll's show up kill them on sight.

Alright you guys get going send someone when you need me.

(Dutch takes Sadie outside and puts her on his horse him and Micah ride off as they are leaving Micah looks back and says try not to die Morgan).

I'll try.

(I yell back).
