Vlad, the silver marksman

“Vladimir...most know me by Vlad however~”

Vlad...a name she was quite familiar with as of recently. Texas had heard that some lone marksman had started showing up from town to town. Some say he’d cleared out all the trouble in town, while others say he brought trouble to their towns...all agree however that his skill with a six shooter was unparalleled. The question on Texas’s mind now however...was what brought this vigilante to her neck of the woods.

“My ooooh my, so this is the luxurious town of Gold springs huh....pretty nice setup if I do say so myself, sheriff~ gotta say, you really must have your work cut out for you to keep all the damage this place has had under control~”

He was sugar coating his words obviously, like he wasn’t even trying to hide that he had something up his sleeve. Not wasting a moment, Texas responded back saying “well I must admit, it’s not a easy job, but it runs through my veins...may I ask though partner, what REALLY brings you to Golden Springs....”

With his playful smile going into a full fledged smirk, the silver wolf turned his head to meet Tex’s. “Well that there’s an easy question for ya Sheriff....I’m here to beat you in a old fashion showdown~”

“Beg your pardon wise guy?” Texas scowled as she heard the man speak, his intentions clearly to boast his so-called “skill” and using her as an example.

“You heard me Darlin~ a showdown, winner takes all~ Sounds mighty enticing now, don’t you think~?”

“You must have been dropped on the head as a child stranger. Ain’t no way am I just gonna go pulling my gun out for fun. Now get on outta here before I decide to lock your fat behind up!”

Vlad chuckled at the remark passed on his rear, giving his hips a playful wiggle as he slowly walked behind Texas, his head reaching over her shoulder before speaking once more

“Well shoot Texas, if you won’t do it for fun...maybe you’ll do it for that deputy of yours, mmm~? She was mighty fun to wrangle up and hogtie~ didn’t even see it coming, just like you once I blast that silly little revolver of yours out of your hand~”

Texas’s rage was visible now, her hands balling into fists as she tried to take a swing at Vlad, only for him to catch her hand with ease, as her face met with his one more time.

“You lay one finger on April and I will EN-“

“-don’t you fret a thang sheriff, she’s peeeeercrctly fine~ however...that can change if you deny me here and now...so what’ll it be sheriff...yay, or nay~”

Like there was any other option Texas could choose. April was her partner in crime for the longest while. She had **** but to accept.

“Fine, you scumbag. I accept your challenge. And once I win, you won’t ever see the light of day A-GAIN. You hear me!”

“Loud and clear sheriff, loud and clear~”

With both opponents standing ten spaces away from one another as the crowd of townsfolk gathered around to watch the fate of April be decided once again by Texas’s actions here and now, both gunslingers had their hands over their guns and at the ready. With silence filling the air and a heavy aura around everyone, Texas and Vlad kept their eyes on one another since the beginning, not once blinking as they readied for the sign to draw....

“...............”

“..............“

“DRAW!”
