HATFIELDS AND MCCOYS

MY PAINFULL LIFE

chapter one

All I could feel was pain. Everywhere hurt. I was so frighten that he would come back to finish me off. My blonde hair matted with blood and the dirt that was on the floor. My eyes streaming with tears as I attempted to control my breathing.

I was sat up by a tree in the forest. Shaking so badly. I heard some horses coming, my fear began to creep back up on me. He was back, I would die today. I looked up and saw two blonde men. I had seen these people before. The Hatfields Cap and Johnse. I met the eye of Cap, I watched as he got off his horse and began to walk to me, his brother closely following. I backed up more into the tree trying to hide myself away from these men who were edging closer to me.

"It's ok darlin' I won't hurt you." Cap said as his hand came out towards me, for me to take. I looked at his face and saw the worried look apon it. He didn't even know me. I slowly stuck my bloody hand out towards him and he grabbed it gently and pulled me up. My body protesting as pain shot though me. I took a deep breath and took a step forward. I felt my legs give way under my weight and a pair of arms caught me. I looked up with my bright green eyes and met Cap's face.

"Your ok now Darlin'. I won't let no-one hurt you." He said. He helped me over to his horse, each step I took I felt more and more pain. He lifted me up once we were there. My body crying in protest, caused me to give a little whimper. Cap tried to calm me down as he got on the horse behind me. I ended up sitting side ways, Cap arm around me and me lend against him. I held on to his coat as we began to move.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"D...Darcy..Hill" I said.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I...I c...an't.. He'll me." I said

"Now you listen to me darlin'. No-one is going to hurt you. I won't let that happened. I'll protect you." He said as we began to gallop. I held on tighter to Cap, afraid that i would fall, I felt his arm get tigher around my waist.

"W..hy are you helping me?" I asked just bearable to hear.

"Darlin' you need my help. I couldn't leave you out there on your own." He said.

I was still scared. What if Cap was like him. What if he hurt me like HE did. Cap stopped and got down. He turned to me and saw the fear in my face as he helped me down. I didn't really think. I saw the woods and just took off running. As fast as my body would allow me to. I heard cap yelling at me as he chased me.

"Darcy. COME HERE!" He yelled. I felt the tears coming back as the pain in my body was becoming almost unbearable. I ran further and further. Cap was right behind me. I felt his arms grabbed the back of my dress and pull me back so I was in his arms. I tried to pull away from him.

"No. Please. Let me go...Not again. I'll be good. I. won't tell them. Hat...f..ields. Please.. don't." I cut off as I sobbed. I relised what i'd just said to him. It brought me back to that memory of that man and I just flipped out.

"Shhh. Darlin'. I won't hurt you." I heard him whisper into my ear a he turned me around. I grabbed hold of him as he began to rub my back, trying to calm me down. I was stupid. I just told a Hatfield what I wasn't meant to and now Cap would ask me lots of questions about it. He picked me up and beagan to carry me back to there house. I looked up at him.

"I'm sorry Cap." I said.

He walked until we were at his house. I saw his father stood in the door way. Anse Hatfield. He looked at Cap and then at me. His wife levicy stood by his side. My body began to shake and I felt so frighten. I saw Cap look down to me. He walked closer to them.

"Cap." I said just bearable to hear.

"It's ok. They won't hurt you. There my family." He said as he stuck me down on the ground. He put one arm around my waist and I slowly began to walk with him. We took it slow up to the front of the house.

"Cap, who's your friend?" His father asked.

"This is Darcy, Pa. She has no place to go. I found her in the woods beaten Sir. I was hoping she could stay here." Cap said. I watched as Anse looked at his wife and she nodded.

"She can stay here. Go and get her cleaned up." He repiled, Anse moved aside to let us pass. We walked until we were upstairs in the house. Cap gave me a seat and began to do my bath.

"Come on. Let's get you cleaned up." He said as he came towards me. He helped me with my dress and then helped me into the water. He picked up a brush and told me to scrub all the blood and dirt off. He could see all the bruises I had. Every inch of my skin covered. My pale skin barely showing. He got up from crounching down.

"I'll go get you something to wear." He said as he left me all on my own. I began to get all the dirt and blood off of me. But trying to be very gentle around all the bruises. I heard the footsteps approch and Cap walked in with a jug, a towel, a blouses and a long skirt and some other bits. He came towards me and gently pulled all my hair from my face. He began to wash all my hair. Once he was done my hair was the white blonde that it was meant to be. He lifted me out of the bath and stuck a towe around me. He lifted my chin with his hands and saw the purple bruise that had formed on the right side of my cheek. He brushed over it gently.

"Who hurt you Darcy?" He asked. I looked up at his face with my eyes filled with tears.

"McCoys." I said as a single tear fell.

ok, Finally got a laptop charger and will update most of my stories soon. What do you think of this one. I love Cap Hatfield so much and I had been playing around with this idea for a bit. Boyd Holbrook is so fit, I just had to write a ff about him. There will be other characters in this, that I will add in soon. I kinda know where i want to go with this story, I just want some feedback, PLEASE REVIEW, IT MAKES MY DAYS! :) CHARLI XX
