Love In the Old West Chapter 5, a sly cooper fanfic

Chapter 5

I'll Save you

THREE DAYS LATER. STILL ABBY'S POV.

It has been three days now since the kiss with Tennessee, and things could not be any weirder. Whoever I saw him, I blushed. Although, because he taught me that rail walk, I could keep up with him a bit better, he still would get away, but still, it did help.

But still. I had began to feel really strange around him. I felt like I had been punched in the gut or I would feel like I would be sick. I really hoped that it wasn't what I thought it was…

I had decided to take a walk this afternoon. After making sure Sonia had something to eat, since I didn't know how long I would be out, I left. I walked all around town, just thinking. My hands were shoved in my pockets as I walked around.

I hadn't even noticed that it had gotten late and was now dark out, until I felt a cold breeze. I wrapped my arms around my body and rubbed a bit, trying to keep warm. It could get pretty cold at night, but at least it wasn't winter, it would have been worse, but still.

I began to walk back, when I heard twig snap. My ear twitched and I spun around. I saw nothing. I turned around and kept walking, until I heard it again, from a different direction. I spun around again, this time I placed a hand on my holstered riffle. There was still no one there. I turned back and kept walking. Suddenly, I was grabbed from behind, a hand covering my mouth, muffling half of my scream. I looked up and saw the leader of the One Eyed Badgers.

"Now, I thinks it's about time we had that date. Don't you Abby?" he asked, lust in his eyes.

"Come on, before someone sees us." he said.

men tied me up and dragged me with them. I couldn't believe this was happening. Someone please save me…Tennessee…please save me…

TENNESSEE'S POV.

I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss with Abby. Honestly, I don't know what came over me. I threw caution to the wind and just kissed her. Although, she didn't seem like she wanted to kill me, but still. What was I going to do?

I had been out for a stroll when I heard a scream. I looked from where I was on a rooftop, and saw Abby, being held and tied by the One Eyed Badgers.

"Now, I thinks it's about time we had that date. Don't you Abby?" he asked, lust in his eyes.

That was it. I grit my teeth, and glared at the leader. They began to take her away, as they left town, riding on horses. I jumped down and was able to take one of their horses, without them seeing me knock one of them of their horse and tie him up. I dropped him off outside the jail house, and left.

'Hang on, Abby…' I thought as I went after them.

I followed them to their hideout in the desert. I hid out of sight and saw them take Abby in. Just before the door closed, I slipped in, unnoticed. I stayed in the shadows as I went through listening for Abby. I was going to find her. That was a promise…

ABBY'S POV.

I was taken to a room with a bed and barred windows. They tied my hands and feet to the bed posts. This couldn't be happening. Come on! Wake up Abby! I shut my eyes tight and struggled against the ropes that held my arms.

"Don't try struggling girl, you're tied tight. Now just be a good girl and wait for the boss. You don't want to tire yourself out struggling. You're in for a long night with the boss." he said smirking evilly.

I couldn't believe this was really happening.

He left and locked the door. I began trying to struggle again, but as much as I hated it, I was stuck here. After five minutes the door opened and in walked the leader. He looked at me with lust in his eyes. I continued to struggle as he came closer. No, I didn't want it to be like this.

"Oh and one more thing before we start. You might have been wondering why your parents haven't gotten back yet…" he trailed off.

I stopped struggling and listened. He smirked.

"Well, they should have been back last week, but then they ran into me and my gang. We had a little chat. They give me you or else. Well being the parents they were, they chose or else. So I had my men roughen them up, before I had the honor of killing them, but not before I made your pops watch as I and a few members of my gang did to your mother, what I'm going to do to you. Hopefully, you'll be more cooperative then she was." he sneered.

I was shocked. My parents…were dead…? I struggled to catch my breath as tears came to my eyes.

"Of course we couldn't have them live after that. Not that I think your mother even wanted to after that. So we had to shoot them. We sent then far away, not even I know where they are now. Well at least they died in each others arms, right?" he sneered again.

I had tears streaming down my face. I was unresponsive as he got on top of me. I had stopped struggling. I, for the first time, had given up. I began to cry out, earning a slap to the face, I could feel blood begin to run from my lip and nose it was so hard.

"Well it seems like you'll be cooperative after all." he said.

Tears continued to spill from my eyes. I wanted this all to stop.

"Get off her you bastard!"

TENNESSEE'S POV.

I had been crawling through an air way, when I heard a voice.

"Don't try struggling girl, you're tied tight. Now just be a good girl and wait for the boss. You don't want to tire yourself out struggling. You're in for a long night with the boss." he said.

I crawled faster and finally was able to see through. There was Abby tied to a bed and there was the leader.

He looked at her with lust in his eyes, making my blood turn to fire. She continued to struggle as he came closer. No, I was not about to let this scum touch her.

"Oh and one more thing before we start. You might have been wondering why your parents haven't gotten back yet…" he trailed off.

I had just gotten the bars off quietly and stayed in the shadows.

Abby had stopped struggling and listened. He smirked, what had this monster done now?

I was shocked. Abby's parents…were dead…? She was struggling to catch her breath as tears came to her eyes.

Abby had tears streaming down her face. She was unresponsive as he got on top of her. I had to stop this now. Abby, for the first time since I met her, had given up. She began to cry out, earning a slap to the face, I could feel blood begin to turn into fire. Blood began to run from her lip and nose. This bastard was done for.

"Well it seems like you'll be cooperative after all." he said.

Tears continued to spill from her eyes.

"Get off her you bastard!" I exclaimed.

He stopped what he was doing as I stepped into the light, my riffle pointed at him. Abby looked over shocked, but also a bit relieved.

The leader got up and looked a bit worried. He should be.

"Say your prayers, bastard." I stated lowly, pulling the trigger and shooting him in the heart. I jammed the door so that the others couldn't get to us.

I looked over to Abby, she looked a bit scared. I'm sure I looked livid, but I managed to calm down enough so that she wouldn't be scared. I opened a drawer by the bed, and found a dagger. I cut her loose and was able to get the bars off the window. I picked Abby up and was able to make it outside, and onto the horse.

I held her in my lap as we rode back to town. She clung to my chest, and cried into it as we rode off. I could here her sad sobs. Soon, she fell asleep. I took her back to the hide out, surprising Jared and Steven.

"What is she doing her?!" Steven asked.

"Hush, Steven. She's asleep!" I hissed.

They looked closer at her and saw the injuries.

"What happened Tennessee?" Jared asked, concerned.

I explained what had occurred in the hours I had been gone. Steven had me lay her down and checked her for anymore injuries. He was the smart one and our medic, and Jared was the muscle of the group. After I laid her down in my room. She was still asleep. I went back to the others and we began to talk.

"I just can't believe it. Her parents are really gone?" Jared asked.

"I'm not so sure." I said.

They looked at me like I was crazy.

"Are you losing it, Tennessee?" Steven asked.

"I don't think he was telling her the truth. He wanted her vulnerable. What better was to do that then tell her that he had killed her parents?" I concluded.

"You do make a point. Maybe we should have a bit more faith, huh?" Jared asked.

I nodded, then retreated to my room. I sat in the chair and put my feet up, lowering my hat so it covered my eyes. I looked at Abby one more time, before going to sleep. I hoped for her sake, I was right…

I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED. PLEASE REVIEW, BUT DON'T FLAME. PEACE OUT!
