Chapter 5A Chapter by Whitney ShawSo 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. The next morning came, Billy, Lone Wolf, Red Bear and Bob went outside and each of them had a chore to do. Billy cleaned the carrel, Lone Wolf cleaned the barn, Red Bear plowed the fields, and Bob fixed the fences around the house. When all the chores were finished Henry went to go get the wagon to get ready to go into town for supplies. So they jumped in and went towards town. When they arrived they went inside the store and Henry gave Billy a list of things they needed, Lone Wolf, Bob and Red Bear would load it into the wagon. As Bob, Red Bear and Lone Wolf were waiting on stuff to be handed to them shots were fired. Everybody was ducking and running as shots were still being fired. Lone Wolf, Bob, and Red Bear quickly got behind buildings and started shooting at the men. Finally the guns stopped firing; all the townsfolk came out from hiding in stores and underneath steps and sidewalks. Lone Wolf’s cousin came running out from hiding crying and walked over towards a family of Native American Indians lying dead in the street. Red Bear, Lone Wolf, and Bob were just standing there looking at Little Woman holding a little Indian girl in her arms. "Guys you alright," asked Billy? "Yeah we're fine, I can't say about those men," said Lone Wolf angry. "Well let’s go get them," Billy said getting into the wagon. Lone Wolf quickly went to go get his Winchester out of the back of the wagon. “Stop, it is not your place, let the sheriff handle it, this is his town," said Henry. So Henry turned around and looked at the family of Indians so did the townsfolk, then Henry heard a baby cry from the Indian family's wagon. So he walked up to the wagon and saw a baby inside. His heart was broken to see that baby in there without family now. So he picked it up and held it tight so it felt safe, then the baby stopped crying. He looked around and saw a young beautiful woman, well dressed and proper, blonde curly hair with a sun hat on and her very best clothes. So he walked up towards her and said, "Ma'am would you like to take him as your own, and raise him," asked Henry? "Yes, I would take him as my own," said the woman stretching her arms out. "Thank you ma'am, thank you so much," said Henry. So he walked away and walked towards Little Woman and bent down beside her. "Let her go and come inside and get some rest, Lone Wolf take your cousin inside and make sure she gets some rest," asked Henry? Lone Wolf grabbed Little Woman by the arm and walked her inside. "Ihdeen" (thank you)," said Little Woman. "Your welcome," said Lone Wolf. As Lone Wolf came in he walked towards the window and looked out. "Do you think they will come back," asked Little Woman changing into her gown behind a dressing screen. "Maybe, if they do I will be ready for them," said Lone Wolf looking out the window. "Why did they kill that family, what did they do wrong," asked Little Woman? "They were being who they are, that's what got them killed," said Lone Wolf. "When will it stop, when will they realize we're just like them," asked Little Woman? "It will never stop cousin until we are all wiped out. They hate how we lived and how we use to do things, we did things just like they did, they hate what is different, it will never stop until I stop it, if I have to kill a few white eyes to make it stop I will," Lone Wolf holding his Winchester and looking out the window. "So they will keep on coming and killing whatever is Indian," asked Little Woman? "Yes," Lone Wolf closing the curtain.
