Chapter 5A Chapter by Whitney ShawNext morning a young Indian boy was
playing in the sand on the shore, when he quickly saw a ship on the sea and ran
to his village. The man on the ship was not there to trade, they were there for
the women and young girls. As the men arrived in their village they started
shooting and taking the women and young girls, and burning their homes. All the men were fighting, shooting
guns, and throwing tomahawks, trying to help their children and wives, so they
pushed them closer to the shore, as they were trying to get them back, the ship
turned and started firing from the cannons, all the warriors ducked and ran,
they have never seen anything like them. And the ship sailed away. Carter was sitting on the porch when he heard all the
shooting and he ran. "We have to go after them," angered Grey Wolf. "No, it’s dangerous," said Black Bear. "Are you afraid?" asked Grey Wolf. "No," said Black Bear. "I know where they are going to take them?” asked
Carter. "Where?” asked Black Bear. "To England, to show them to the people, like they did
you," said Carter. "We have to stop them, we have to stop them on the
sea," said Black Bear. "But how?” asked Grey Wolf. "We go behind the ship, because they won’t have the
time to turn the ship on its side to shoot at us," said Carter. "We also can join our tribe with another tribe and fill
the sky with fire," said Grey Wolf. "Good idea, let’s do it," said Black Bear. So Grey Wolf and Black Bear went to other villages and went
to Kicking Bears and told him what was going on. So Black Bear's warriors and
Kicking Bear's warriors all got into their canoes and went out to sea. They caught up with the ship from
behind, all the men were busy on deck, and they put the women under the deck.
One woman looked through a small hole in the ship and saw thousands of her
people, and another tribe. As the men were clearing the deck, then the sky was filled
with fire, piercing some of the men aboard, they all scattered and reached for
their weapons and started shooting. Kicking Bear yelled "FIRE!"
and they filled the sky with fire again, everybody was injured or killed, and
the ship was burning. Grey Wolf pulled himself up a rope that was hanging on
the edge and climbed up it, and he quickly went and grabbed the women and
children off the ship before it all went up in smoke. They went back and took their
women home. "Thank you for helping us," said Black Bear. "Your welcome friend," said Kicking Bear. Kicking Bear and his warriors went home. © 2018 Whitney Shaw |
