Chapter 2

The next morning Lone Wolf opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling, got out of bed, and walked outside. He heard something in the barn, so he walked towards it and saw Billy and Henry saddling their horses.

"Where are you going?" asked Lone Wolf.

"Into town to get supplies," said Henry.

"Can I come?" asked Lone Wolf.

"No, I know you too well, you stay here with the guys, your wound still needs time to heal, try to get your bow and pull back on it, on the strig so your shoulder won't get stove up and then you won't be able to use that arm anymore," said Henry.

"Alright," said Lone Wolf.

So they got on their horses and rode to town to get supplies. They tied their horses to a post and went into the store. Sheriff Jason saw Billy and Henry's horses outside of the general store, so he walked out of the jailhouse and across the street.

"Henry how is Lone Wolf doing?" asked Sheriff Jason.

"He's doing well," said Henry.

"That's good, Steve is still in jail until he says he is going to serve every Indian that comes through this town," said Sheriff Jason.

"Thanks, Jason, thank you," said Henry with a smile.

"You are welcome," said Jason.

So Henry and Billy got the supplies they needed from the store and rode back to Frankie's house. When they arrived they saw Lone Wolf out in the yard pulling back on his bow, he was shaking and sweating. Henry and Billy walked inside and put the supplies on the table.

"So how was the town?" asked Frankie.

"Busy, we talked to Sheriff Jason he said Steve is going to be in jail for a while," said Henry.

"That is good, maybe it will teach him a thing or two about people," said Frankie.

"I hope so," said Billy.

Lone Wolf started to walk in.

"Well Frankie what's for dinner?" asked Billy.

"Whatever you guys want today," said Frankie.

"How about some meat, biscuits and gravy and some beans to go with it," said Bob.

"Coming right up," said Frankie.

So he cooked it and served it, they ate it all had a few leftovers as well for the next day.

"Well I'm going to town to see my cousin," said Lone Wolf.

"Go ahead but be back here before the sun goes down, and stay away from the jailhouse, don't even think about going over there," said Henry.

"You don't trust me by now," said Lone Wolf smiling.

"I mean it, son," said Henry.

"Alright," said Lone Wolf going outside to the barn to get on his horse and rode into town. When he arrived he saw his cousin with a group of girls.

"Little Woman," said Lone Wolf riding up to her.

"Hey cousin it's good to see you," said Little Woman.

"How are you?" asked Lone Wolf.

"Inju" (good) and you?" asked Little Woman?

"Inju" (goo)," said Lone Wolf.

"Oh I am sorry girls, this is my cousin Lone Wolf, Lone Wolf these are my friends," Little Woman introducing her friends.

"Hi ladies," said Lone Wolf.

"Hello, wow Little Woman, you didn't tell me your cousin was so cute?" asked Little woman's friend.

"That's because he is my cousin," said Little Woman.

The girls laughed and Lone Wolf smiled.

"So how are things here in town?" asked Lone Wolf looking at the jailhouse and back at her.

"Inju (good) everything is going well, I just bought this dress yesterday," said Little Woman.

"It looks very nice on you," said Lone Wolf.

"Iheedn" (thank you)," said Little Woman in the Apache language.

"You are welcome, well come on let's take a ride," said Lone Wolf.

"Cousin you know it has been a long time since we rode together," said Little Woman.

"I know, come on, it will be like old times," Lone Wolf jumping on the horse and holding his arm out for Little Woman to grab.

"Ladies if you will excuse me," said Little Woman grabbing Lone Wolf's arm and pulling herself up onto his horse.

The girls started to laugh and get bashful. So they rode out of town. The sun started to turn a reddish color with a little bit of orange and yellow tint. It was very beautiful. Little Woman and Lone Wolf were just sitting on the horse looking at the sunset.

"To think we had it al we had the land, the mountains, and our way of life. Now we don't have any of it, it was stolen from us," said Lone Wolf.

"I try not to think about it, I try to forgive them for what they have done, turn the other cheek as their God says in their king James bible," said Little Woman.

"It's hard cousin, to forgive them for what they have done, my hatred towards them still runs deep in my veins. Henry teaches me to move forwards and not backward, but it is hard sometimes," said Lone Wolf.

"I know it is, I still can't believe you did not kill Henry," said Little Woman.

"I did kill his men though, but left Henry and Jason both alive, I still haven't figured that out yet," said Lone Wolf riding back into town.

"I hope you figure it out, thank you for the ride cousin, brought back a lot of good memories," said Little Woman.

"Your welcome," said Lone Wolf.

"Come and stop by sometime," said Little Woman.

"I will, I'll have to bring you out to Frankie's house sometime or you can ride up there," said Lone Wolf.

"That would be great, goodbye," said Little Woman.

So Lone Wolf turned his horse around and rode back to Frankie's house.

"See I'm back," said Lone Wolf.

"Good, tomorrow we have a big day ahead of us, we have lots to do around here," said Henry.

"Yes so get some sleep," said Frankie.

So they all went upstairs and went to bed. Lone Wolf closed his eyes and was dreaming about what happened in the past with his people and Henry's men.
