Breakdown
Amelia walks over to the Sheriff's office and mounts on her horse. She rides down to the other end of town where the International House was. She mounts off her horse and walks inside up to the desk.
"Hey Marvin did someone name John Carter check in?" asked Amelia. Marvin the hotel clerk was a handsome lad about Joe's height, around Amelia's age and he had a crush on her.
Marvin checks through the record book and looks up at Amelia. "Yeah he's in room 213" said Marvin. Before Amelia walk away Marvin walks around the desk and up to her.
"Amelia I don't think it's a good idea for you to see him by yourself" said Marvin. He knew about what happen three years ago everyone in town did.
"Don't worry about me I'll be fine" said Amelia. She walks up the stairs and up to room number 213. She hesitantly knocks on the door.
John opens the door and was shock to see Amelia in the doorway. "What do you want?" asked John harshly. "To talk to you" said Amelia. He lets her in.
"I know you were the one who tried to kill me and my brother by sabotaging our rig" said Amelia.
"I won't stop until every last of you Cartwright's are buried six feet under" scowled Carter full of evil and hatred.
Amelia narrows her eyes at him. "If you want to come after me then go right ahead I dare you but don't you dare harm my family" warned Amelia.
"I know that you threaten the judge to get a lighter sentence" said Amelia.
"I'm impressed but what are you going to do about it?" taunted Carter. "I'll gonna stop you with everything I have even if it means killing you myself" threaten Amelia.
"I'll like to see you try" said Carter. Amelia storms out of the room. She rides out of town and back to the Ponderosa where her family is anxiously waiting for her while sitting at the table about to eat dinner.
The boys look over at their worried father. "Pa do you want us to go out and look for her?" asked Joe. "No she'll be home soon" said Ben hopingly.
"If she doesn't come home in the next fix minutes we're gonna go look for her" said Hoss. Adam and Joe nodded in agreement.
They heard the door open and they all got up to see Amelia walking into the house. "Amelia thank goodness you're home. We were worried sick" said Ben walking toward his daughter.
"Sorry I lost track of time" said Amelia. "We were going to have dinner" said Ben. "I'm not really hungry Pa" said Amelia and walks up the stairs.
Ben turns his sons. "Did she seem upset to you boys?" asked Ben concerned. "She sure did" said Hoss.
"I'm gonna go check on her. You boys can start eating" said Ben. He turns to Hoss and says jokingly "Don't eat everything in sight".
Adam and Joe laughed. Ben walks up the stairs and into his daughter's room. He opens the door and is horrified to see her throwing things in her around full of anger and frustration.
Ben walks in the room and tried to calm her down. "Amelia sweetheart calm down" soothed Ben as he holds her in his arms.
Amelia starts to breakdown into tears. "It's my fault! It's my fault that Adam and I almost died and it's my fault that I was raped" blurted out Amelia.
Ben was shocked that she was blaming for herself and tries to comfort her.
