150-200 page update

150-200 page update

Before leaving on the wagon train again Matt lost the trust of a lot of his friends due to a rumor going around that Matt was truly Sim Boyne. This wasn't true and Matt made most people believe that it wasn't. After about a day or two of traveling, Matt and everyone else noticed that their ammunition was stolen! This made Matt believe that what he thought was going to happen, was indeed probably going to. To help the situation out Matt had another meeting with his trusted friends and midway through they noticed there was someone listening in on them. That night Matt went over to Massey's wagons and stole some ammunition back. By now people knew that he was a Deputy Marshall and he was not a good person or an easy person to kill. Matt was starting to get back where he was with Jacquine and they kind of knew they both had feelings for one another. On a day where the rain came down so hard you could barely see, Matt got jumped and shot twice. He woke up later finding he got shot in the head and in the side. The bullet only grazed his skull. He was very weak and could barely move one hundred feet without falling. When he got to some brush he looked back on his trail and saw three Indians. They left, but later one of them came back. Matt had to kill him and eventually did even though he also got cut. Matt didn't have his guns cause Massey took them off of him when they thought he was dead. Bardoul took the Indian's horse for a while but eventually it spooked and he got bucked off. Matt was now living off of berries. When he went hunting with the bow he had from the Indian he killed he came upon his horse and three more Indians. His dun came right up to him and he pulled his Winchester out of its scabbard and shot two of the Indians. In his saddlebags Matt had food and ammunition. It was all that he needed. He came upon a fort with his horse where he got helped by a army surgeon that bandaged him up. Matt tried to get some troops to go with him but the general wouldn't allow it because he had no way to prove he was a Deputy Marshall due to the fact that Massey took his papers. Matt was in a hurry so he left after a short stay and got back on the wagon train's trail. Here he found dead people scattered throughout.
