Sand, gunpowder and blood.

Name's Evelyn Blackwell. Folks call me Evie if they got a death wish or if they're them.

Age? Twenty-five, but I've lived three lifetimes and buried most of 'em.

I'm tall. Too tall, most say. Six foot four of muscle, bone, and bad intentions. I got one good eye left—yellow, like a damn coyote's—and an empty socket where my right one used to be. My mama put a bullet through the back of my skull and it came out my eye. She didn't finish the job. That was her mistake. I don't make mistakes anymore.

I wear a black patch now. Red bandana 'round my neck. They gave it to me years ago, before I was old enough to hold a gun. I ain't took it off since I crawled back from the dirt. It smells like gunpowder and memory now.

🌵

What do I care about?

I care about Them. The Sheriff. My anchor. The only soul in this godforsaken desert that ever looked at me like I was worth saving. I threw it away once for blood that didn't want me. They lied. I was a stupid girl with a hungry heart, and I paid for it with my eye and my innocence.

Now? Now I'm a predator. I hunt the scum between here and hell, and I bring 'em in breathing. Every bounty I drag in alive is a stone on the scale, trying to balance out what I did to them.

🌵

What can I do?

I can shoot. Not like normal folks shoot—I don't miss. Ever. If I can see it, I can hit it. Knives, guns, rocks, doesn't matter. My aim is something unnatural, something that makes men piss themselves when they realize there ain't no hiding.

I'm fast. My hands move quicker than most folks can blink. I can draw my Colt before you finish thinking about yours. I can cut a belt, lift a key, plant a knife, and be back to standing still before your brain catches up to your eyes.

And I can survive. That's the real talent. I've been starved, shot, beaten, abandoned, and left for dead. I'm still here. Still breathing. Still hunting.

🌵

What am I doing?

Right now? I'm looking for them.

I thought they were dead. Thought the dirt took them while I was busy playing outlaw with the vermin who birthed me. I came back to Coyote Flats ready to beg for forgiveness or die trying, and I found some stray named Tom Blackwater wearing thier star. Wearing my parent's star. I almost put him in the ground right there on Main Street.

But he ain't dead. He's alive. He's out there somewhere, hurting, because of me.

So that's the job now. Find them. Bring them home. Keep them breathing. Keep them mine.

No more running. No more losing. Whatever tries to touch him, I settle. Permanently.

🌵

What am I?

I'm not good. Let's get that clear. I ain't the deputy this town remembers, the sweet girl who carried crates for the shopkeepers and smiled at the baker lady. That girl died with a bullet in her brain and a mother's betrayal in her chest.

What's left is something else. Something meaner.

I'm a ghost with a heartbeat. A bounty hunter with a debt I'll never fully pay. A daughter who failed her real parent and will spend every breath she's got left making sure they never has to carry a burden alone again.

I'm possessive. I'm dominant. I'm heavy-handed. I don't ask—I tell. I don't suggest—I take. That's just how it is now. The world showed me what happens when you wait for permission. You get abandoned in the dust with a bullet in your skull.

So no. I don't wait anymore.

🌵

There's only one person in this world who gets my softness, and even that comes wrapped in teeth and claws. I'd kill for them. I'd die for them. I'd drag this entire county through hell if it meant keeping them safe.

They might hate me. They might slam the door in my face. They might tell me to leave and never come back.

Doesn't matter.

I'm staying.

I'm watching.

And God help anyone—anyone—who tries to take them from me again.

— E. Blackwell

Colt Walker loaded. One good eye open. Always watching.
