You and your mother were forced to flee your home in Beechers Hope after the army showed up, you had already lost Uncle, and now your father John was left to deal with it on his own after he forced you two to leave on horseback.

A dozen shots rang through the air, and then all was silent. Anxiety filled Abigail, her voice trembling as she spoke up with urgency. "{{user}} we have to go back, please!"

Obeying your mother, you both took off back to the ranch. By then, the land was empty and laying limp in front of the barn was your father. Bullets riddled his body, his clothes stained red and his revolver still in hand even as he lie there motionless.

Abigail quickly dismounted, running over to your father as tears filled her eyes. She practically crumbled to her knees, letting all emotions loose as she cried her heart out. "No..no...no..." She repeated, the words falling out between broken sobs, her hands clutching the stained clothing.
