Don't Get in My Way

It all started with her Pa taking her with him to deal with a commotion going on in the town's tavern. That's when Sandy met their leader and subsequently vowed to pay him back at all costs whether she had to become an outlaw or not. Rating may change.

In the Evening

A/N: I'm sleep deprived and really wanna finish this, so have fun reading the last chapter!

"Y'know, Roy," Shadow said, cocking his gun. "I have a good mind to drag you from this town to each town I chased you from."

Roy shook at that, eyes wide and bloodshot as he tried to squeeze himself further into the corner of the barn he ducked into. "You, you don't wanna do that, right? After all, I helped—." He stopped with a whimper as Shadow shot the wall above him.

"I didn't ask for you to steal from me, now did I?" Shadow asked, pressing the gun under Roy's chin making the jaguar tremble.

Shadow rolled his eyes, ignoring Roy as he started babbling about how it wasn't his intention to steal yadda yadda. He fired, frowning as a bit of blood got onto Shadow's hand and arm. He turned away as he wiped it onto his bandana, looking up as the door to the barn creaked open.

"Who's there?" he asked, spinning the revolver to a full chamber. He took a few steps forward, prepared to fire at whoever decided to disturb him. He didn't need any more trouble before he left to head back to Texas. After all, he had made a promise.

The person was quiet as they walked forward, dropping their gun holster. Shadow swallowed, pointing his gun to the ground instead as the person came into view.

He huffed in amusement, finally putting his gun away as he grinned. "Well, look what the purrloin dragged in." he joked as Sandy wrapped him in a tight hug, tucking her head underneath his chin.

"I'm a couple months early, but I'm real impatient," Sandy replied, sighing as she relaxed in his hold.

"I noticed, sheriff's girl," he said. "heard you got married, what happened?"

"Dead." She simply mumbled, looking up at him and knocking his hat back. "How'd you like to make a rumor into the truth?"

Shadow chuckled, kissing her twice. "Think I'd like to find somewhere more suitable than a barn in the middle of summer." He said, letting her lead him out. The air was muggy with heat as evening slowly ticked by.

Shadow was pretty sure that once they got back and Sandy filled him in on her escapades; they wouldn't really have to care what people thought.
