Chapter 10

"You guys done yet? I'm getting real tired here waiting for you two to finish the job."

I said to the men who were still digging through their friends bags, the view was something I would never forget, dead bodies and their friends digging through their bags for valuables, the smell was also something I would never forget.

"W-We are done, this what they got, take it all!"

One of the men yelled and held out his hands which were full of valuable items. rings, gold nuggets and money, it was all in there. I took the valuables and turned away from the men.

"Alright, go on, You two are free."

I said to the men and put the items in my bag and began heading back to the camp, we wouldn't want to sleep next to some dead bodies so we avoided to kill any of the bounty hunters while they were next to the camp.

"Um, sir? Can I ask something before we go?"

One of the men asked me, I turned around and looked at him, he took a step back after I turned around, I took a deep breath and answered.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"Sure, I guess."

I said to the man, he opened his mouth, he was also shaking from fear.

"T-That scar on your right cheek... Dosen't it mean that you are a part of the Slinger Knight gang?"

The man asked me, I stood there silent and touched the scar, I wondered about it.

"No. I got this a while back when I was fighting a guy who cut me... Now go."

I told the man, they both began running away. I turned back and walked back to the camp. Sheriff Joy was there waiting for me to come back.

"One of those bastards asked me if this scar is a symbol of being a part of a gang, can you believe that? How would that work?!"

I said to Sheriff Joy, he was confused, he wasn't sure what I was talking about.

"That scar on your cheek? A gang symbol?"

Sheriff Joy asked me, I sat down on the ground next to my tent, threw my bag inside of the tent and then laid down on the ground.

"Yeah, they thought that this scar was a symbol that ment that I was a part of the Slinger Knight gang... It ain't that, they're just stupid."

I said to Sheriff Joy and laughed. Sheriff Joy smiled and went inside of his tent, I also crawled inside to my tent.

"I think I'll go to sleep, you should sleep too."

Sheriff Joy said and went completely silent after that. I rolled in the tent for a bit before settling down.

"Yeah, I'll go to sleep too. See ya tomorrow... Unless ya kill me in my sleep."

I said to Sheriff Joy and closed my eyes. Slowly but surely I was falling asleep, it was pitch black and windy outside, the timing was perfect for a perfect nights sleep. Oddly the horses were already sleeping next to the camp after all that ruckus we caused.
