A/N: Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been back in a while! Also sorry for the time skip I'm gonna do... this is the final chapter. After I'm done with this, I'm gonna rewrite 'Captured' A.K.A 'Numbers' because it's horribly written. And this time, I'm going to finish it... sorry for that by the way, lol. But it was my first story and in my defense, I've seen worse. Bye! Enjoy the fully recovered Will.
Three Months Later...
Will sighed in satisfaction as his throwing knife buried itself in the center of the target with a thunk. It had taken him a while to regain his skills, but with a lot of practice, he had finally done it. He was excited because today was the Harvest Festival.
He had seen his friends again, but only on a few occasions, as they were usually busy. But today they were all gonna meet up at Halt's cabin and eat food that Jenny was going to bring. His mouth watered at the mere thought of it.
He had gotten much better in the past few months. He only had nightmares every once in a while now, as opposed to every single night. He had panic attacks every once in a while as well, but that was only natural after all the things that had happened to him. But now, he could honestly say he felt better. There was no sense of impending dread that had stayed with him, haunting him with thoughts of what Tyler would do to him if he ever came back. But Halt had reassured him many times that Tyler was dead, and therefore, would never come back.
He gathered his throwing knives and placed them in his sheath, then went to the lean to. He smiled when Tug neighed a greeting, stomping his feet a few times as his ears pricked up. He laughed and hugged his neck, happy to have him around.
He remembered the day he got him and smiled when he pictured Tug bucking him off. It hadn't been funny at the time, but now he could laugh about it. Tug bumped his shoulder with his muzzle and snorted.
Bucking you off was fun.
Will made a face and said, "You enjoyed that?"
Yup, it was fun.
"Well that's a mean thing to say..."
"Hi Will!" Alyss said happily, gracefully striding over to him and giving him a hug.
He smiled and gave her a peck on the lips.
"I've missed you!" He grinned.
"Same to you. You weren't talking to your horse again were you, dear?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Excuse you, my horse has a name."
"Oh really? I was unaware." She teased.
"His name is Tug." Will sighed, patting said horse on the head.
"Well I say we go eat some food. I'm famished."
Will raised an eyebrow.
"Must you always use huge confusing words?"
"Yes. Yes I must."
He smiled and shook his head. He would never get the last word, not only with his horse, but also with his fiance. Yes, they were engaged. Will grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers in hers, making her smile. They went around to the yard, in front of the veranda. Everyone else was there now- Jenny, Horace, Gilan, Halt, Evanlyn, Crowley and George.
Sadly, Lady Pauline had been busy and unable to attend. They had laid a blanket on the ground and now everyone was sitting there, food being spread out across the blanket. They were met with several smiles, a few of which turned into mischievous grins when they saw that they were holding hands. They sat down beside each other and everyone dug into the food without further delay.
For the rest of the evening, they ate delicious food and talked about how things were going. It was so nice to be with everyone again. He didn't have a biological family, but he felt that these people, his sort of... adopted brothers and sisters (except Alyss... it would be a bad idea to get engaged to your sister, lol) were his family. And honestly, he couldn't ask for more than that. They were always there for him when he needed them. No matter what happened, they understood and made him feel better. He was completely comfortable around them and wouldn't trade his friends for anything. Not even George, as tempting as it was sometimes.
And for the first time in the past year, he could honestly say-
He was happy.
