So, this is a thing now. We're following Katherine 'Kat' Bessie Morgan on her adventures in the RdR2 game! We'll see what happens. And, there's going to be a few changes. I'm not gonna tell you 'cause… Well, that would ruin the surprise ;)

/Katherine's P.O.V/

I shivered as I laid between Lenny and Javier, my head resting on his shoulder. Here we are in the bitter cold, like nothing we've ever faced before. I was freezing my ass off I'm sure everyone else was too.

Jenny died, not too long ago. Davey's not looking too good either. And we don't know where Mac or Sean are either. Stupid Blackwater job…. Wish it could've gone better.

"Kat.." Javier patted my leg and I looked out the carriage to see my Dad, Arthur Morgan talking to Pawpaw Dutch and Bubba Hosea. I heard something about an old mining town close by. I sighed in relief.

"Finally, someplace where we can get warm." I commented, in hope.

"Let's hope so. I'd rather not die out in this cold." Lenny commented, wrapping his arms around his legs tighter for warmth.

"There' worser ways to die." Javier commented and I scoffed.

"Faster ways, at least."

"Miss Katherine, Mr. Summers, Mr. Escuella, we're here." Lenny and Javier hopped out, and Javier gave me a hand down.

I prefer Kat over Katherine, but I allow Aunt Susan to call me Miss Katherine, or sometimes just Katherine.

Bubba stepped inside first, checking the place out to make sure it was really abandoned, and it was. He called us all in. Pawpaw, Dad, Simon Pearson, Uncle, Aunt Abagail, Jack, Javier, Lenny, me, Strauss, Aunt Molly, Aunt Susan, Tilly Jackson, Mark-Beth Gaskill, Aunt Karen, Swanson, and Charles Smith. A few of them carried Davey in first, as he was the worst of us all.

Aunt Susan was giving out orders in order to get the place warm and make Davey comfortable. Aunt Abagail was looking over Davey, I knew what she was going to say before the words came out of her mouth…

"Davey's dead…" I sighed, crossing my arms as tears followed down my face Javier put a comforting arm around me. we were both close to Davey. We all were.

"There was…. Nothing more you could've done.." Swanson tried to comfort her, but to no avail.

"What are we gonna do? We need supplies." Bubba asked Pawpaw who shook his head to look at him.

"Well, first of all, you are gonna stay here, and you are going to get yourself warm. Now, I sent John and Micha scouting out ahead. Arthur and I, we're going to ride out, see if we can find one of them." Pawpaw told him and Dad looked at him in disbelief.

"In this?!" Dad asked, motioning to outside.

"Just for a short bit. And I don't see what other choice we have."

"Can I come?" I asked, receiving a deadass 'No' from my Dad.

"No, Katherine. It's freezing out there and the snows still comin' down. I don't wanna lose you out there. You're gonna stay here where it's safe, where's it's warm. Understood?" Dad told me, it wasn't really a 'yes or no' question. It was a 'if you follow me, you're dead' comment. I sighed in defeat, crossing my arms.

"Fine, but I'm not gonna like it." I mumbled in annoyance.

"He wouldn't expect you to." Javier commented, causing me to jab him in the side with my arm.

Pawpaw got everyone's attention.

"Listen. Listen to me, all of you. For a moment. Now we've had a bad couple of days. Now, I loved Davey. Jenny, Sean, Mac. They might be okay, we don't know. But we've lost some folks. Now, if I could throw myself in the ground, in their stead. I'd do it. Gladly. But; we are gonna ride out and we are going to find some food. Everybody. we're safe now. There ain't nobody that gonna be following us in a storm like this one. And by the time they get here, well we're gonna be, we're gonna be long gone. We've been through worse than this before. Mr. Pearson, Miss Grimshaw, I need you two to turn this place, into a camp. We may be here for a few days. Now all of you, all of you. Get yourselves warm. Stay strong. Stay with me. We ain't done yet! C'mon Arthur." Pawpaw gave one of his most famous speeches and he and my Dad left.

"Alright everyone, we got some work to do." Aunt Susan began giving orders to everyone. Javier and I were to tend to the horses, make sure they had hay, see if we had water that ain't frozen, brush them down, see if their hooves are clean, general stuff.

Javier was checking on his horse, Boaz, when he reared up suddenly, flaring his nostrils.

"Woah Boaz! Steady boy!" Javier grabbed the reins and Boaz stepped back, side-stepping each time.

"Need some help?"

"Nope! Doin' fine!"

Boaz started to buck, followed by a rear.

"Woah, shhhh, Boaz. You're okay." Javier calmed him, resulting in Boaz landing on all four again and he steadied his breathing.

"What caused that?" I asked, earning a shrug from Javier.

"Not sure. Could've been an old coyote or bear scent, or maybe even a shadow. You know how skittish he can be." Javier replied, patting Boaz's neck in comfort.

"I also know how close you two are." I commented, earning a smirk from him.

"And you with Black Rose." Javier mentioned my black horse with a white blaze. The brown-eyed beaut had been my horse since I was fourteen, so since she was four. We've been through a lot together. Everyone cares for their horses here in the gang, even Micha. Even if I want to punch him in his stupid face 90% of the time.

"Let's face it, we're all pretty close with one another's horses. Even Micha. I've seen him sneak carrots to the other horses when nobody's looking." I whispered to him, causing Javier to chuckle in amusement.

"So, ol' Mister Bell has a soft spot for horses," Javier pet Black Rose's muzzle. "who knew?"

"Satan?" I shrugged, causing Javier to smile.

"How's Maggie?" Javier questioned, speaking of the buckskin mustang mare, belonging to Lenny Summers.

"She lost a shoe on the way up; I can have Hosea replace it before we depart." I told him, lifting up the mare's left front.

Javier nodded. "Good. Lenny would rather die than anything bad happen to Maggie."

"I can understand where he's coming from." I confessed, looking at Black Rose.

"Hey! Somebody's coming!" We heard Lenny shout, Javier stood in front of me, arm extended, his hand on his holster just in case. "Looks like it's Dutch. Hey everybody, Dutch is back!"

It was then I realized how close Javier and I were. When he turned around to face me, we were inches away from eachother, our foreheads nearly touching. His hands were on either side of me on the hitching post. I smiled slightly and blushed, as he did the same. He lifted his hands slowly and backed up in the same speed. He mumbled a quick 'sorry' before going to see Dutch.

I stood arms crossed in slight sadness. He had no need to be sorry. Can't he see that I want him? That I want to be with him? He's just so…. Amazing. I love him. But he's too blind to see it.

I walked over to Black Rose, patted her and whispered in her ear.

"Maybe someday…. We'll be one."
