Description

:iconharpg-outlaw-trail:






Finding someone, that had upset the sheriff. That was their task. Actually, Tom would have prefered to get after the outlaws, but he wasn't the one to say that, so he decided to follow the instructions. After loading his guns and the riffle, he brought cooper close to the area, where they had been told to find the ones they were looking for. When he found a big rock, he told Cooper to lay down and wait.
„I'm going to tie your tack to this branch.“, he told the mare, while he made a lose knot she would be able to break, if she got frightened. „And then you'll wait for me to come back. I'm not taking you with me this time, it's too dangerous. They might shoot us. So you'll wait.“
Cooper flipped her ears back. It seemed, as if she didn't agree to wait here, while he was bringing himself close to men with guns. Even though this was only acting, the mare sensed danger. And she was a horse, that would fight for its rider!

Tom kneeled behind the rock and looked over it. Nobody was there. He saw some other entrants, waiting behind rocks, yet, there was no shooting yet. He crawled forward, the rifle and a gun in his hands and cowered behind another stone, that covered him completely. Suddenly, there were shots.
His eyes widened, as he brought himself up a little, leaned the rifle on top of the rock and aimed. He shot, missed, shot again and saw one of the fiends going down, screaming that he'd been shot. That was the signal for Tom: He jumped over the rock, pointed his pistol at another one and when the guy went down too, that was, what brought attention to him. He found himself aimed by two of the men, noticing too late, that he had left his shelter.
When the bullet hit his arm, he felt a short, slight pain, as the paint-bullet exploded and dyed the cloath on his arm in a bloody red.
„Fuck!“, she snapped, acting as if he had been struck down by it, going to his knees and fumbling for the rifle he had lost when the bullet had struck him. That was it. He could see one of them grinning at him.

„Go to hell.“, he said, Toms eyes widened, when suddenly, he heard an angry neighing from behind.
Just a second later, Cooper jumped over the rock, reared and caught the bullet of the man, her ears flipped back her head facing the guy. The next neighing sounded more like a growl, when she brought her front legs back to the ground, turned to the man with the rifle and suddenly shot towards him.
„Cooper, no!“, Tom screamed, his eyes widened, both because Cooper had been struck by the bullet – which didn't cause much pain, but made her angry as hell – and because she was now chasing the guy, who had left his rifle and ran for his life. Cooper didn't wear her tack anymore, which meant, that she had freed herself by pulling her head out of the leather.
„Come back! Cooper!“
Unnoticed by the others, that were still fighting the lawmen, Tom ran behind his horse and the actor, when Cooper suddenly got hold of the shirt of the man, braking hard, so that the guy almost fell. When Tom arrived, he touched Coopers neck slightly.
„Okay, okay, you saved me, good girl, now let go!“, he gasped, his heart thundered in his chest, because of the shock and his chase. Cooper, still holding the sleeve of the man with her teeth, raised her head and opened her mouth. Tom looked at the fiend.
„I'm sorry.“, he said. „But I think I'll have to kill you now.“
The actor shot a nervous glance at Cooper, who was still watching him out of narrowed eyes. Then Tom struck him with his gun and brought him out of the game. While the actor walked back, Tom forced Cooper behind another big rock and touched the shoulder, where the paint bullet had struck the mare. She wasn't hurt, but still furious.
„You saved my life!“, he smiled. He was only 'hurt' on his arm. „You're very brave!“




For Assignment 5, Lawmen No. #60 - Tom Braun and HS Copperhead Road
Nobody had this idea yet and that was what came to my mind when I first read the chapter! So have Cooper being brave! :la:
