You were riding your horse, Jem, out in the wild, hot desert of Texas. You were one of the best cowgirls there were as well as the sheriff of your town. You were famous amongst most other towns and states as well as feared of most criminals. Your name was non other than _____ _____. You have traveled long from the state's capital and are now heading back over to your hometown.

As your roamed along, you could have sworn that you heard a variety of gunshot at a far. Jem started to panic as you soon heard a stampede of hooves coming at you. Your house galloped behind a bolder after bucking you off onto the hard desert sand. You jumped to your feet as the herd of cows were racing towards you. As you ran, the cows were approaching you more and more when suddenly you felt something slip around your waist and pulled you up into the air. The next thing you know, you were on top of a black stallion behind a man with a typical brown cowboy hat on, a red bandana around his neck, a brown leather vest, and a white shirt under with blond shaggy hair.

"You sure are lucky that hero was here to save you just in time lass." He laughs. He turns his head slightly to get a better look at you with a huge smile on his face.
At first you give him a confused look but then nod your head and thank him for saving your life.


~~Le Time Skip to after all the explaining~~

"Ok dude, so you are heading back to your hometown to catch these 3 bad dudes?" Alfred asked, it was sunset and you two have stopped to rest up for the night after getting your horse back and getting everything back into order. You simply nod your head yes while responding, "Yes, it is my duty as the sheriff of my hometown to put an end to their doings. They are known as 'The Deadwood Texas Thieves' who have been stealing money from about every bank they come across. I was called up from Austin to come back to Leona (Yes that is a place in Texas I looked it up) where they have been spotted the most.

"That's dandy ______. If ya need any help, don't be afraid to ask me the hero." He smiled my way and chuckled slightly while he ties up his horse to the post after I did that with Jem. Jem was a crystal white Quarter Horse of mine, while Alfred's horse, Freedom, is a midnight black Mustang. You reached into your bag that was attached to Jem's back and pulled out your sleeping bag as Alfred did the same. The sun soon fully set while the moon and stars came out to watch above them.


~~Timeskip to Middle of Night~~

You and Alfred couldn't fall asleep...Well, Alfred kept waking you up saying how it would be awesome to beat the crud out of people and how lucky your job was. You sighed and looked over to him. "Alfred," You started, "I don't do this job just for beating up criminals. I do it because I want to help out others and mostly the ones who treated me like family. That is why, I am in a rush back to my hometown. Now...can I PLEASE go to sleep Alfred?" Alfred whined a little but agreed to let you fall asleep.

~Alfred's POV (still Middle of Night but with you asleep)~

I checked to see if _____ was fully asleep by calling her name a couple of times to get no response back, knowing that it was safe to leave for right now. Natalia was pacing back and forth waiting for me to arrive while Gilbert was fast asleep and mumbling how amazing he was in his sleep again. I walked up to Natalia and got a huge smack in the face. "ALFRED JONES WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?" She yelled and got out her gun pointing it at me. I crossed my arms smirking at her and said, "If you shot me, you won't know where the Sheriff is." She growled and put the gun away again. I explained everything to Natalia and Gilbert once she slapped him awake. "Good, then lets go kill her now." She said as she pulled out her gun again. "Why do we have to kill her now?" I asked. Natalia and Gilbert gave me a confused look. "Vell don't you vant to? Since vhen do you have a problem with killing people?" Gilbert asked with a smug look on his face.

"Well...W-What would be the point in killing her now?" I asked trying my best to not get ______ killed. Natalia gave me a sharp glare and hissed at me saying, "The point is that we get her out of the way will capturing us!" I thought for a minute then got a great idea. "Hey dudes, why don't I go and kill her myself?" Natalia and Gilbert looked at each other and then back at me. "Fine. Meet us back at the pub with her body." Natalia said, "So we can dispose of the body."

I gave them a nod and headed back off to ______. I had my gun with me in one hand. Once I reached back to _____, she was still fast asleep. I looked down at her, she looked so beautiful as she laid there peacefully. I held my gun up to her ready to shoot her as my finder as at the trigger. I closed my eyes and started to shake. 'W-What is h-happening?' I thought to myself, 'W-Why can't I just shoot her?! I have killed many of people in the past! I am the leader of The Deadwood Texas Thieves!! JUST SHOOT HER ALREADY ALFRED!!' I yelled at myself as my shook nonstop. I opened up one of my eyes as I dropped my gun. "I can't do it." I whispered to myself. "But...why?" I put my gun away and couldn't fall asleep for the rest of the night.

Something about her made me so happy. I wanted her for myself for some reason but she would never have felt the same since she is a good guy while I am the bad guy. I tried to get some shut eye but I kept thinking about _____. I looked over to her and saw that she was facing me as she slept. I couldn't help but smile at how the moon illuminated her adorable face. I reached out my hand to cup her cheek. I never felt this way before for anyone.

~~Morning and Your POV~~

I woke up to see that Alfred was closer to me then before and he was facing me with a huge smile on his face as he slept. I giggled slightly and got up. I put my sleeping bag back into the bag attached to Jem. Jem and Freedom were already awake, which didn't surprise me one bit. I heard a loud yawn and turn to see that Alfred was siting up. "Mornin', I'm gonna head back over to the town. Care to join me?" I asked him hopping up onto my horse.

Alfred turned his head from me and nodded getting up. "Sure. Go ahead, I will catch up to you." He said as he rolled up his sleeping bag. I looked over at him, "Alright. See you soon." I said before commanding Jem to race off and go to forward. It didn't take Alfred long until he came back to me. We didn't talk much and everything was really quiet and awkward until he broke the silence.

"So..._____, I have a random and strange question to ask of you." I looked over at him and said, "Shoot." "W-Well, what if I was the bad guy that you needed to catch? I-I'm not saying I am but what if I was the leader of The Deadwood Texas Thieves? W-Would you still kill me?" I was really surprised at his question. I wouldn't have ever thought that he would have asked me that of all questions.

"I....I....I-I'm sorry Alfred but I would have to kill you in order to bring back peace to my hometown family. Good thing that you aren't though!" I laughed. He chuckled nervously making me wonder what he was hiding. Then the thought came to me, 'What if he is? No _____! That can't be possible! After all, he saved my life.' I looked back over at the man and smiled. He looked away from me but I saw that small pinkness that was starting to form his cheeks. I couldn't help but laugh more at his look.

~~Once you arrived into town and to Alfred's POV~~

We got there sooner then I was hoping for and I had this strange feeling in my gut that came every time I looked up at _____. There was something about her I just couldn't explain. The way her (h/c) hair moved in the wind and how brave she was and how her (e/c) eyes sparkled that it made her look so beautiful! GAH!! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!!!

"Hey Alfred, lets go to the pub. That is where they might be at. Most likely." _____said making me snap to reality. She soon hopped off of her horse and motioned me to follow her and for some reason, I did and got off of Freedom. We walked into the pub and I kept my hat over my eyes since I knew all of these people here since they are all bad guys. I could NEVER had let them see me with the most feared sheriff! That was when I saw Natalia and Gilbert. 'Oh shit!' I thought to myself.

"I'm looking for the gang called 'The Deadwood Texas Thieves'! Come out and show yourselves!" _____ yelled. Natalia, being as she was, walked up to her with that smirk and glare in her eyes. Gilbert was behind her as she said, "Who's asking girly?"

"My name is _____ and we are having a showdown so I can stop you all from harming all of my people! Alfred is helping me as well so that it will be fair since I don't see your gang leader anywhere. He must have been too afraid to...." Before she could finish her sentence, Gilbert and Natalia laughed with all their might. My head was still down but I walked behind Natalia and glanced up at _____. She looked very confused and a little pissed off that they were laughing at her.

"Natalia. Gilbert. Stop laughing now!" I gave them harsh glares showing them that I was serious. They soon stopped but Gilbert responded, "Sorry Alfred but she thought that YOU were going to help HER? It is too funny!" "Yea boss. It is a good laugh." Natalia said and placed her hands on her hips.

"A-Alfred? W-What are they talking about? B-Boss? WAIT! Y-Your..." When I looked back at _____, her eyes were glaring into my soul and it made me want to explain everything and make her happy with me again but I knew that that wasn't going to happen at all.

~~Your POV~~

'A-Alfred TRICKED ME?! THAT THAT THAT GAH!!! HE IS NO TRUE COWBOY!!!' I yelled at myself in my head as my face grew hot with anger. I felt myself shaking for how upset and angry I was! I trusted him, I told him about myself, and the worst part was that I grew feelings for him!

~~Time of the showdown~~

You were standing there a few feet away from Alfred, Natalia, and Gilbert. Alfred was very upset and didn't want to hurt you but he didn't show that. His face showed that he was calm but he was very quiet. Natalia was laughing and making fun of you as you hand your gun in hand as well as Natalia and Gilbert had their in their hands.

Natalia took the first shot and she almost hit you in your right arm. As you moved away from the bullet, you shot at Gilbert and got him in the arm. You shot again at him and almost got his leg. Natalia shot at you again and got you in your left arm. You grabbed it and yelped in pain. Natalia shot at you again as well as Gilbert. One bullet hit you in the right leg and you fell to your knees. The other bullet you was aimed at your chest and you waited for it to hit you but it never came at you but at someone else. You looked up to see Alfred on his back bleeding from his chest. You couldn't believe your eyes! Alfred saved you...You rushed over to him and held his head in your arms. You looked down at his injury and took off your jacket to wrap it around him. He moaned in pain and looked up at you.

~~Alfred's POV~~

"__-_____?" I said in a whisper. She looked like an angel by the way she looked down at me as the sun was right behind her showing off its light behind her. I lifted my hand up to her cheek and she brought her face closer to mine as tears rolled down her face. She rubbed my face gently. "I-I'm so so so sorry _____." I whispered again. I coughed a couple of times before I started talking again. "P-P-Please f-forgive me, I-I never wanted to hurt you. I n-never wanted you to get hurt either. I-I'm so sorry!" She kept shaking her head and saying, "I forgive you. I forgive you Alfred! P-Please don't go. I...I care about you and don't want you to..." Before I let her finish, I grabbed her face with all the strength that I had left in me and made our lips connected.

I could have shot Natalia and Gilbert while they were laughing before they could have even thought to have drawn their guns. Then I could have locked Alfred up to rot in a cell, instead of killing him.
