Chapter 31

We had gotten so far of the fire so the boy stopped staring at the house. The boy didn't really seem that old so I was confused.

"By the way boy, how old are you?"

I asked the boy as I slowed down to hear his answer.

"I just turned seventeen."

The boy said, we were all shocked of that answer.

"Seventeen?! I thought you were like fifteen!"

Ana shouted from the back, the boy didn't seem happy about the answer she gave.

"Zip it you monkey."

The boy said to Ana, Joy busted out laughing like a maniac and I was also laughing, needless to say that Ana was pissed off.

"You little bitch! I will get you for that!"

Ana shouted and pointed the cannon at Joy's horse, Joy responded by taking out a bunch of knives to throw at her.

"All of you calm down! Ana! You're not shooting that thing at a child! Joy! You're not throwing those knives at Ana!"

I shouted towards them, both of them froze and put away their weapons, the boy was terrified of both of them.

"Sir! Is there any chance I could ride with you? These two are insane!"

The boy shouted in fear.

"Sorry kid, no can do!"

I shouted and sped up a little bit, the others still argued so they didn't realize that I had sped up.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

After riding for a while we were halfway done with the ride to Van Sandel, hopefully the town isn't a chaotic one so all of us could take it easy, and so we wouldn't leave a child to a bad town to live in. During the ride someone gave the kid a gun, I assume it was Ana, I won't blame anyone until I know who gave him the gun.

"Ana! How much until were in the town?"

I shouted towards her, she took the map out and took a look at it and then she looked around us.

"I would say that there is around... Two hours left until we reach the town!"

Ana shouted and rolled the map. All of us were bored of the ride, I think it's dumb to make towns so far away from each other. The surrounding areas were also either sandy and dead or abandoned houses, so they were no good either.

After a while of the boring ride we saw some travelers heading our way in the distance. We continued our ride towards them and they stopped, I assume they waited for us. We had almost got to them and then they took out a paper roll.

"Hello, gentlemen, what brings you here today?"

One of the men asked me, I stopped the horse in front of his.

"Just heading to Van Sandel, nothing much."

I answered and stood still, the man then smiled and nodded.

"Alright, sir. By any chance, do you happen to be Arthur Feuerball?"

The man asked, I took a look behind me and then at the man.

"Yes, I am Arthur Feuerball... How so?"

I asked the man, then he rolled the paper open, it was a bounty poster, it was my bounty poster. My bounty was two hundred dollars.

"...Is this a joke? I possibly couldn't have a bounty!"

I asked the man angrily.

"Unfortunately this is no joke, sir. Some people said that you killed a dozen of people, including a government mech and the people at the Wirwood festival."

The man said and threw me the bounty poster.

"What?! The people at the Wirwood festival were raiders! They were the Red Skulls! The festival leader even said that we can help to defend the raiders off!"

I shouted, the man raised his hands slightly.

"I heard something like that as well, but the lawmen understood the situation differently, you should turn yourself in while the bounty is this low, you could only make it off with a few days in a cell if they listen to you. Or you can try to compromise something with the lawmen."

The man said.

"...We'll see what happens."

I said and slowly galloped away from the men. After I couldn't hear them anymore, one of the men told Joy something, they didn't know he was a sheriff. Then all of them came back and we continued the ride slowly at first. I took a look at the bounty poster and it was a well made picture, anyone could tell that it was me if they saw this.

The journey continued and I was mad knowing I was a wanted man now, I had to avoid the lawmen and bounty hunters, we will see if Joy was going to turn me in or not.
