"Now, Kitty, this is Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank, and Gideon. Adam's brothers." Milly introduced with a smile as the men all gave me shy smiles. "Brothers, this is my little sister Kitty." I nodded to them all in greeting. "Lovely to meet you all on better terms now that you are not all scrambling away from me in fear." I told them as I took a drink from my glass, hiding my smirk as they all nodded sheepishly, passing the food around.

After finishing breakfast I headed outside with Milly as she helped me back Moonshine up to the cart with one of the other horses the brothers owned, Milly rushing inside to get her hat and some money as I soothed Moonshine, the mare not very happy about being next to the strange horse as he kept trying to sniff her. I finally gently tapped the gelding on the nose. "You better stop that, she might just take a bite from your nose if you don't." I warned. "What are you doing, Kitty?" I heard a voice ask, causing me to jump. I turned to see the youngest of the brothers, Gideon lope over. "Milly and I are going to go to town and get some things for her." I replied.

"Oh, I better come along and help drive the horses then, that is a pretty mare you have." he commented as I moved around to get into the cart. "Thank you, she's a handful though, only when she gets scared. By the way, thank you for helping me yesterday." I told him with a nod as I settled down, watching him climb up beside me. "Oh, no problem, you both just got a little scared. I would too being in a strange place with a bunch of loud men." Gideon replied with a bright smile.

"Hey, what's going on?" Benjamin asked as he walked over, seeing Milly leave the house and climb into the cart. "We're going to town." Gideon replied. "Well, I better come along and drive the horses-" "I'll drive." I snickered softly at the two brothers as Benjamin got into the cart and Gideon started the horses into a trot. "Hey, they're going to town!" "Let's go with 'em!" Daniel and Ephraim called as they also jumped into the cart. I laughed softly at them and shook my head as I settled on the seat for the long 12 mile ride. Once we finally reached town I pointed out the store to Gideon and quietly stood when we had the cart parked.

"Here, I'll help you down." Gideon told me with a smile as he hopped from the cart and gently grasped my waist, pulling me down. "Thanks. Milly, I need to go see Mr. Cade and see if he has my order in. if I'm not back when you leave can you drive down to the store?" I asked softly as Milly got down from the wagon. "Alright, that's fine." I smiled and quickly made my way down the sidewalk, heading for a small store at the end of the walk. I quietly entered the store and was met with the smell of paints, dying fabrics, and leather bound books. I smiled as the door closed behind me and I saw a bright red head poke up from behind the counter.

"Hi Mr. Cade!" I greeted with a smile. "Well, Miss Kitty, I was wondering when you would be back. Got your shipment of clothe, books, and dyes in this morning." the older man told me with a smile, patting two large crates. I laughed and nodded. "I'd hoped so, I came to collect them." I replied, walking over to the counter. "What do I owe you?" I asked, pulling out the coin bag I had. "No charge. You know you're the daughter I never had and this time its all on me." the man told me with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Carter, but you know I can pay." I told the man, shaking my head. I spoke with the man for a while before I heard a loud crash. "What in the world?" I mumbled as I rushed for the door and stepped outside only to see Frank fighting with three of the townsmen. "FRANK! YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!" I yelled, marching toward the men as they all froze and I recognized the three men. "GATLIN BOYS! YOU BETTER GET TO RUNNING BEFORE I THRASH YOU THREE GOOD!" I yelled, the three men scrambling and falling over each other to get away as I stopped beside Frank.
