Over the past few days Arthur came back with Micah, saying he killed O'dricolls and brought some money back.
Arthur had been seen by the Pinkertons near the lake on his fishing trip with little Jack says his concerns to Y/N.
"Dutch thinks we shouldn't do anything but, I'm getting nervous."
"I see what you mean, for now let's just listen to Dutch and keep the balance here. If we need to move then we move."
Y/N and Arthur nod to each other and carry on as normal.
Y/N and Hosea taught the little Jack to read. Tilly taught Y/N how to play dominoes and Javier taught Y/N how to play cards, all to well as every round they would play she'd beat him.
Charles taught Y/N how to make arrows and place poison on the ends, in return Y/N taught Charles how to make a medicine for when he was on rides alone, incase of emergency.

When Micah spotted Y/N he thought she was absolutely beautiful. Walking up behind her Y/N felt a chill down her spine out of fear she grabbed Micah's arm and flung him over her shoulder.
Arthur and John were discussing plans to meet up in valentine and saw the whole thing.
Micah felt like the wind was knocked out of him on his back struggling to take in a breath.
Arthur couldn't help but, laugh at the sight of Micah Bell being on the floor, due to a girl being strong enough to throw him over her shoulder.
Bill, Arthur, John and Dutch make their way over to Micah and Y/N.
"What the hell happened here?" Dutch says looking at Y/N.
"I'm sorry, men have always walked up behind me and now I'm always on alert. Do you think I killed him?"
"Here's hoping."
"Arthur." Dutch looks up at Arthur in annoyance.
"What? if I was Y/N I'd have done the same thing."
Micah finally is able to get air in his lungs and he gets up and launches for Y/N.
"YOU BITCH."
Arthur goes in front of Y/N protectively.
Bill and John hold back Micah in his fit of rage.
Dutch gets in-front of Micah and says.
"Calm down Micah it was an accident."
"Yeah, she didn't mean to do it." John says holding him back.
"No she did that on purpose, bitch I'll kill you in your sleep."
"It was an accident, next time don't get up behind me."
"Let me at her! I'll kill her, why is she even here??from what I heard in prison Colm is after her, let's kick her out. She'll put us all in danger!!"
"What? He's after me."
"Hell no, she isn't going anywhere Y/N stays with us."
Arthur says in a deep voice and protective manner.
"Enough!!"
Dutch voice is loud and the whole camp is now watching the commotion.
"Micah pull yourself together it was accident. Y/N stays with us."
Dutch then turns to Y/N.
"these past few weeks you have helped us, you also saved some members of my family and you haven't given me a reason to get rid you so you stay."
"Thank you Dutch."
"Now shows over back to work."
Dutch says and everyone leaves the area back to their work.
Arthur places a hand on Y/N's shoulder.
"You okay, little miss?" Both walking to the edge of camp Y/N replied.
"Not really, It must be the debt my father still owns Colm but, I don't know how much it was, all I knew is that it was a lot of money."
"Do you think it was to pay for your sisters medical bills?"
" I have no doubt, that was it was for." Leaning up against the tree Y/N looks out to the cliffs and mountains.
Arthur nudges her arm to snap her out of a trance.
"Hey, nothing will happen to you. if you want we can pull you tent closer to mine to make sure you feel safe. If you ever head outside of camp tell someone or take someone with you safety in numbers, we can't risk anything."
"Thank you Arthur."
Without thinking Y/N wrapped her arms around Arthur in a hug.
Taken back by the sudden boldness, Arthur looked round to see if anyone was watching and then he hugged her back.
Burying his head into her neck Arthur couldn't help but, take in the sent of Y/N he wanted the hug to last forever.
Arthur pulls back a little and whispers to Y/N.
"Everyone has your back, besides your one of us now, your not allowed to leave."
"Ohh is that why is it?"
"Yes."
Smiling to each other they broke apart and Arthur goes.
"Uhhh.. well "cough"come on let's move your tent."
"Okay, thank you Arthur."
Hosea watches proudly and says to himself.
"Hmmm, sounds like I might win that bet after all."
