We were in the bar, sittin down and drinkin, just havin a good ol' time. Cap asked for another bottle. "Hey! Get me another bottle! Hey! Another bottle!" he kept repeatin himself. I laughed at him, "I'll get it, Cap." He winked at me and nodded. I hopped down the latter and saw some whore lookin girl kissin all over Johnse. He finally got sick of her hangin all over im' and he nudged her off, and walked away. "Johnse..." she said. She walked her way over to the table where Cotton and Uncle Jim was sittin. She bent over and let her cleavage hang out. "I love Johnse Hatfield so much... Why don't e' see that?" she half sobbed. Uncle Jim just stared at her, but Cotton answered. "W'like, how your a whore?" he said. She got offended and said, "Better'n some McCoy bitch." and started walkin away but I stopped her rightin her tracks. "What do you want?" she hissed at me. "You best watch your filthy mouth, whore." I spat at her. She made a "hmph" sound when Cap jumped down and stood beside me. She walked away. "Don't worry bout her, darlin'." he soothed. I nodded and walked him over to sit side' Cotton. I caught a glimpse of a man who was holding a poster, that said "Cap Hatfield." with a reward price, and a picture of im'. I bent down over the table, sorta like the whore did, letting my cleavage hang out, and whispered to Uncle Jim.
"Jim-" "I know, darlin." he cut me off. Cap looked at us in confusion, but took another swig of whiskey. "Cap. Put down your whiskey. Make like nature calls." Jim said, then cleared his throat, "Get my drift?" Cap nodded as he took one last swig. "Cotton, stay here." I half whispered softly to Cotton. He rolled his eyes. Cap went out into the darkness and started pissin', a little to casually, on a tree. I stood beside Uncle Jim who was holdin an axe. "Stay quiet, Lassie." Cap whispered, and then the man showed up, and pointed his pistol at him. I half gasped but Jim covered my mouth. "William Cap Hatfield." the man called him, from behind. Cap turned away, smirking alittle to much, and said, "Yea?" The man rolled his eyes and said, "Button yer' dick you vougler basterd." Cap just smirked again and stood there. The man continued, "I'm arrestin' your for the murder of Tolbert, Pharmer and Bu-" but he couldn't finish his sentence, because Uncle Jim hit him hard in the shoulder with the axe. I flinched. Cap smirked again and continued to piss. Only, he was pissin the man. I rolled my eyes as Jim laughed at him. "William Anderson." I scolded him. He finished and pulled me back inside. ... We finally returned home. I was drunker than I have ever been, and started comin on to my husband.
Cap tensed up, smirked and said, "Jesus, wife. I'm gonna have to start takin you out more." I smirked and we made love, again, that night. ... In the mornin, I woke up to Cap layin on my chest, both of us naked. I groaned, and he laughed at me. "Head hurt?" he asked, joking. "Hurt? Hell, it's poundin." I answered, truthfully. He laughed and said, "That was fun, last night." I rolled my eyes and got out of bed, and got dressed. "Some breakfast'll help your head, darlin." he said, and kissed my head, as I was gettin dressed. We went down, ate, and headed outside. We were out workin in the lumber yard again. I was carrying a pile of wood over to my husband when, out of no where, I was shot. I dropped the wood, and fell straight on my back. No body knew I was shot though. Cap had shot who had meant to shoot Anse, Paris, in the head. Sam took off. Uncle Jim woo-hoo'ed and cheered. "Ha-haaah! Hey Anse! I do believe, we got ourselves a real McCooooy!" he cheered. Anse looked to Sam, who was runnin. Jim turned to Cap who was smilin ever so brightly at Jim, who said, "You saved your pappy. I'm proud of you, son." Anse finally looked to me and noticed I was on my back, and the white workin dress I had on, was soakin up with blood.
"Allisyn!" he said, which sounded like how he had said my daddy's name when he was shot. Uncle Jim and Cap turned around and gasped. "Allie!" "Lass!" I heard my name being called by several people. Anse lifted up my dress until he saw where the blood was comin from. Cap, Uncle Jim and a few of Cap's brothers put their hands on their head and paced. Anse scooped me up and got on his horse. "Cap! Head home!" he called, and headed us home, ourselves. ... We returned home, and I heard Bill say "It's Anse and Allisyn. Allisyn's hurt!" And then the front foor burst open. My aunt Levicy hurried down the steps. "Jesus, what happend to her!?" she said, and grabbed me from her husband. She layed me on the porch, and lifted my dress. She sighed in releive when she saw there wasn't a bullet in me. The bullet only nipped my side. She cleaned up the wound and started stichin it. Cap had just gotton home with Uncle Jim and his brothers. He ran up the porch steps, "Is she okay!? Alice? Allisyn!? Lassie?" I couldn't speak. I felt like my throat was on fire, it was already hard enough to breathe. "She's alright, son. The bullet only nipped er'." Anse said, holding back my husband. My daughter and Coleman, Bertha and Billy bursted out the door.
"Momma!" cried, Levicy II, and started comin towards me, but Matilda held her back. "Momma? What happend to my momma!" shouted Coleman. Bertha patted his chest and held him back like Levicy and I do with Anse. "Aunt Alice!" Billy exclaimed, but Uncle Jim held him back too. ... After about an hour of stiching, and the adults calming my husband, cousins and children, Levicy propt me up. "Alice? You haven't said a word since you got here. Can you hear me?" I finally opened my mouth, cleared my burning throat. "I'm .. okay." I managed to choke out. She sighed and helped me up. Her and Bertha carried me to my room. "Am I.. Gon.. D-die?" I tried asking,, as they layed me down on my bed. "No, Allie, the bullet only nipped ya. You'll be alright." Levicy soothed. She sat on my bed, and told Bertha to make sure no one comes in. She rubbed my face softly and hummed to me, until I fell asleep.
Oh boy! Whatcha'll think?
