Summary: When Arthur Morgan and Sadie Adler go hunting to bring back food for the camp, they find out they are being hunted themselves and what was supposed to be an easy trip turns into a fight to survive.

Author Notes: So, for the longest time this was going to be John and Arthur, but as I started writing it Sadie decided she wasn't having it and wanted to be in this story. I still like to write another one for those two, I love those two especially the end of the game the brotherly love they showed one another. Kind of reminded me of Dean and Sam. Right now, I just can't think of anything that I could write for those two. Gah! However, this idea formed up in my head and I wrote the outline which is new for me, because all my others stories I winged it. Right now in that outline for the future chapters I'm really debating about going super dark, more so then I ever have in anything I've ever written, so possible context of rape and torture. What can I say I'm a sucker for super dark stories and I love reading them, I wish I had the ability to write a really good piece that dove into the depths of characterization but quite frankly I'm not that good, but I can always admire other writers that have the ability. However, I guess I can try my hand at something so this is your warning. I'll put more warnings future chapters so if you don't want to read it then I highly suggest skipping. With that in being said I'll keep it rated T and the rating will move up depending of future chapters and how I write it. In the end though depends on what y'all want, in the end though it will not be an easy ride for either one of them. Let's just hope y'all like it and want more.

Timeline: Will say somewhere around Horseshoe Overlook.

Ownership: I own none of these characters Rockstar does, but if I did I'd be making deals to have these characters written in books and in movies and graphic novels!

If you see any mistakes, (waves hand in front of your face) these are not the mistakes you are looking for. Enjoy!

Prologue

Arthur Morgan moved through the camp. He walked by a few of the camp members, giving them a slight nod but kept his face hardened. Trying to project to others that he was not to be bothered at the moment. It was not that he didn't want to talk to any them, it was just he was on a mission and didn't want to be bothered with small talk or tasks. "Arthur we need food," "Arthur we need more ammo," or even better "Arthur Micha is harassing me." Since Dutch was their commander, that made Arthur their first lieutenant. He was the muscle, he made things happen when things needed to get done. Jobs nobody wanted to do but Arthur was loyal to a fault so if Dutch couldn't be bothered or was nowhere in sight to do the task at hand, then maybe Arthur would do something about whatever their problem was for that day. Just some days he was simply not in the mood to deal with it and today was one of those days.

"Arthur," he heard his name being called. He tried to suppress the eye roll and he found he quickened his pace to try and make his urgency known to the camp member who was beckoning him. "Arthur I need your help."

"Not now Susan, can you get somebody else? I'm looking for John."

"John's not here," he heard another camp member's voice. A very distinct voice belonging to Sadie Adler. Her voice was like no other woman's voice he had ever heard before. Thinking back to that fateful day when they had met her and took her from her burning home that Micha Bell had started, her voice had changed over the course of time. Getting a little rougher around the edges, trying to fit in a man's world that at the moment did not want women to have feelings or a thought in their head. Their job was to be dainty creatures, make babies and gossip about whatever women gossip about. They were in a man's world chalk full of man's rules, well depending on what part of the country you were in. It was kind of nice to see a woman go against the grain of the average woman. Maybe that's why he fell so hard for Mary at the time, she was complete polar opposite of him. She was soft while he was hard, she was delicate where he was truly rough around the edges. She would never hurt a fly and well, he killed and maimed and robbed anyone who stood in his path. However, there was just something about Sadie Adler that Arthur just liked and admired. Her ability to carry herself and not shy from anything or anyone.

"You know where he is by chance," his eyes looking around seeing if Charles Smith was around if John Marston could not be found.

"I think Charles, John and Javier went to town. Why?" Sadie Adler her curiosity piquing. She knew it had to be a job or least Arthur was looking for a male counterpart to help him with something. She wanted to help, she felt like anyone else in the camp she had to prove herself time and time again to show she deserved to be there and she was not like the other women of the camp. Not that anything was wrong with them, just not what she wanted for herself. She was slowly liking the gang, trusting them and feeling comfortable with the idea of being with something much bigger then herself and or being completely alone. To have a gang of people around you, it was easier not to be taken advantage of and have the same outcome as what happened to her the night Jake was killed. She just needed Arthur and the gang to come to her when they needed an extra hand and to think of her instead of only using her as a last resort. Most of the time they would seek the other male counterpart out before they ever even asked her. She had to practically beg to be taken on missions. She knew she could hold her own, she just needed to be able to prove it to them.

"No reason, I can wait." Arthur turning around debating if he should just go and do it alone. Not like he needed anyone with him but sometimes he just did not want to be by himself and apparently it was one of those trips he wanted company. He heard Sadie jump down from the wagon and started following him like a little lost puppy.

"Come on Arthur what is it? I can help, I can do whatever you want me to do, just let me help!"

Arthur turned back around to see Sadie Adler practically begging with her eyes. Never being able to resist a woman begging and not to mention all the women knew they had Arthur wrapped around their tiny pinkie all they had to do was ask and bat their pretty little eyelashes at him and he was putty in their hands. That is why he so desperately tried to get away from Susan because if he talked to her long enough he would have done whatever she wanted him to do and it would have completely changed his plans from his original task at hand.

"Fine, fine. All I'm going to do is go hunting up near Annesburg. They have some elk up there that could feed this camp for months. Now, you don't have to come," before he could finish the rest of the sentence Sadie Adler was walking away.

"Great I'll go get my gear!" Not even giving him a chance to change his mind or try and talk her out of it.

Arthur Morgan looked up to the sky and breathed out slowly. "Guess will see how this goes," he muttered out loud. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned to go make sure he had everything for gear wise for the trip. He had no idea how true that statement was going to be, and if he had known what was to come to pass he would have never asked Sadie to join him let alone leave the camp ever again.

TBC..

Chapters will be bigger I promise, just a small prologue. Hope everybody enjoy the Holidays and stays safe I'll post Chapter 1 sometime soon!
