Savage Obsession/ Open role call

[poohlive]

Drake sighed, pretending to faint over the side of the bed. He caught himself in the last moment, laying his head across her lap and looking up at her.
"Sadie, come on. If I were with someone else, I would tell you. Jen isn't someone I love, I'm just marrying her cause her old man wants someone to protect her after he dies. She means nothing to me..."
He let a hand slide up her arm, "She doesn't excite me like you do. I have to marry her, for her fathers sake, but I don't have to love her."
Drake blinked repeatedly, a sad look coming over his face, "You stole my heart the minute I saw you."

Jen

It had grown later well not that late but she had expected Tom by now she wondered what could be keeping him away. She was waiting for her moonlight standing out side the fort with him. The thought of laying in his arms seemed to make her smile. She wanted to make this work after all tomorrow she would be his wife according t her father. and she wanted to see his face when she told him that. she leaned against the post on the porch thinking about how it felt to be out side in the dark with his arms wrapped around her tight holding her in safety the way his hands felt on her bared bottom and her breast crushed up against his mighty chest her heart seemed to beat faster and faster.

A sigh left her lips... Then she blinked and sat up like she was struck by lighting that was not tom that happen with it was black hawk ... she was thinking about that night with him that kiss he gave her not Thomas Drake the man she would marry tomorrow morning. how could she? she stared into the darkness remembering the kiss they shared the way her heart was pounding so hard in her chest it felt like it would explode again a sigh as little Star pasted the cabin hearing her


"OH Black Hawk ... where are you?"

Little Star grinned hearing her and knew she had something else to report back to two Moons now. she hurried on her way with her basket full of laundry as Jen jumped off the porch looking around now for Tom determine to find him and get him to kiss her to see if she would feel that way again. she started to look for him asking a few others if they knew where she could find her fiancee lieutenant Thomas Drake? know one seemed to know where he was and she found that odd?

She stopped right out side of Sadie's door and asked some cheap girl she was sure was one of those that tom spoke of that would be free with favors maybe she knew where Tom was ? maybe he would be out on patrol or something that was important he never stood her up before why now?

"Do you know lieutenant Drake I am supposed to meet with him this evening and I can;t seem to find him?"

The girl only snickered and looked to Sadie's door seeing it close and seeing drake going in their earlier, she snickered at the nieve little trusting captain daughter.

"NA sweeties ... Cherry don't know where the man got to at the moment, bet hes busy. but i wouldn't mind a cracks at him he kinda cute" she winked and moved on her way as jen turned her nose up at her remark, knowing she would keep an eye on that one from now on she moved back to the cabin . her father already asleep she sat in the main room and dosed herself waiting for Tom

Sadie

I let my had drap over him feeling him breathing.

"I know but I don't understand why it is you have to." I let a sigh escape my lips in frustration and them leaned down placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

 

[poohlive]

He craned up, moving into her kiss. He always loved her kisses, not too hard, not too soft, just perfect enough to send any man over the edge.
Revealing an innocent smile, he moved to sit up next to her, "Just politics, my dear, nothing more. Her father is my superior, it's practically an order. Don't worry though, once I retire, they'll give me my own piece of land, for free. Then, you and I can run away together. Maybe sunny California or Georgia, I've always wanted to visit there. We could own a farm, and live off what we grow, wouldn't that be great?"
He leaned into her this time, kissing her. With a gentle hand he guided hers down his chest, past his stomach, to his already rock hard member. He needed her.

 

[papillon24]

Sadie

I sighed at the thought of us together. I let my hands follow his. I knew he needed me and I wanted him too. I brought my body nest to his letting my head hest on his chest.

"Or even the city Tom. The lnds could be sold and we could go to DC of New York."

 

[Funloving62]

Jen

She knew it had to be getting close to ten maybe ten thirty, She looked the moon, It was a full moon this night it illuminated the whole fort with its rays. Yet even in it's own luminescence she still did not see Tom. She gave a sigh as her head rested against the post on the porch. her Father had long past gone to bed he was beat from the patrol out early today. She told him she would wait for Tom on the porch and then be back so all could be ready for the wedding tomorrow. But now Tom didn't even knew a but the plans she hadn't had a chance to tell him anything. She was starting to worry, sorting to wondered if he was even going to be around at all for any wedding.

Her feet seemed to take her to the gates where that sergeant Kraft blocked her way. She almost growled then smiled sweetly and moved closer to him, turning on her charms to get information.

"Excuses me Sergeant ,have you seem my Tom ? I was suposed to meet with him tonight and I haven't seen him all night, might you know where I can find him? "

The Sergeant looked back at her he was rather angry with Drake for putting him on sentry duty tonight and giving him all the duties no one else wanted to do because that blasted Indian took her from under his nose. Well it was payback time, Drake would never knowing was Kraft that ratted him out. besides the little lady asked so it was his duty to tell her the truth and what she wanted to know right. He smiled to the Captains daughter she was a pretty thing maybe if Drake lost her he would claim her as his who knows. he smiled to her as she spoke those words with a nod. After all the Captian would not liek that his future son in law was fooling around on his daughter now would he? "

"Yes, Ma'am, Lieutenant Drake is here, he is in the fort been here all night matter of fact. You can find him over there at miss Sadie's he is there offend . But please don't tell the Lieutenant that i told you . im not suposed to speak in on gurad duty."

She blinked hearing Sergeant Kraft as he pointed to the same cabin that she spoke to that women earlier. A quick nod of understanding to the man . he was right he could get into trouble and she had gotten the poor maninto enought as it was . Knowing Tom that was the reason he was at the gates at this hour in the first place.

"Thank you Sergeant. And I will keep quiet about it. "

A quick nod as she hurried over to the building. The light was enough to caste a moonlit glow into the window as she pasted it. What she saw was not at all what she had expected. Drake was their all right and not alone but he was enjoying himself quiet well indeed. She shrieked as she heard him moan out loud and the women giggle, they booth looked her way her mouth hung open as she then took off towards the stables, but know one would let her in it was locked down with orders for her not to be allowed a Mont. at all, she ran to the cabin in tears, the only other place she knew to go.

 

[poohlive]

"God Fucking Damnit!"
Drake pulled his pants back on, kissing Sadie goodnight. He made a half hearted promise to return, but didn't know if that were possible.
"She's going to get it, for sure."
He ran after her, watching her go to the stable first, and then back to the cabin. He rushed in, following her.
"What in the hell do you think you are doing?"
His voice was stern now, angry. He knew he should be the one apologizing, in some conscious part of his mind, but he just couldn't help himself. She had done this, she snooped around not trusting him, not loving him, not obeying him.
"I told you to stay here," he grabbed at her arm, throwing her onto the bed in the cabin, "I told you that you would be safe here. Why are you running off trying to look for me? Someone could have grabbed you."
He got above her, holding her arms down.
"Don't you trust me? You never did trust me, or love me. You always just wanted to please your father, didn't you? Didn't you."
He was right down in her face now, screaming at her.
"Stupid cunt! I can't believe in two days you could fuck up everything like this. It was perfect, everything was fucking fine until you came here."
He got off of her, throwing her to the side of the bed.
"I'm telling your father," he lifted her dress and grabbed at her panties. With little resistance they tore from her. He held them in his hand like some sort of prize.
"I'm telling him that I caught you with some men, a private. I'll tell him what I saw you two doing... in wonderful detail. How you got down on your knees and begged for him. Do you want me to say that?"
He looked at her, his proof in his hands.
"You have to think very carefully now Jen. If you tell your father about me and Sadie, I will shove this in his face, and both of us will be disowned by him. If we keep our mouths shut, no one will know, and everything can go according to plan. I won't have to deal with your shit anymore, as soon as I'm your husband and you are my wife."
He smiled, something of a loving smile, "It is your choice."

 

[Funloving62]

Jen

The rush to the stabled brought nothing she was banded by the captians orders to gain any horse, she hurried in tears to the cabin going to her room but Drake beat her to the door. He grabbed her arm dragging her to her room the furthest room from her sleeping father his superior.

"What in the hell do you think you are doing?"

"I told you to stay here, I told you that you would be safe here. Why are you running off trying to look for me? Someone could have grabbed you."

She stared to him speechless she looked away not wanting to look into his eyes knowing what he was doing with that women. She was frightened and confused never had she heard her Tom so angry before never had he raised his voice like this to her. He treated her so he was rough as he threw her to the bed and held her down

"Someone did grab me you! Get off me Thomas Drake get off me now ! you make me sick how could you do that to me how could you? "

She had no choice , he held her arms made her face him he continues his berating of her.

"Don't you trust me? You never did trust me, or love me. You always just wanted to please your father, didn't you? Didn't you.Stupid cunt! I can't believe in two days you could fuck up everything like this. It was perfect, everything was fucking fine until you came here."

Tears blinded her vision she hear his words she couldn't believe he was talking to her like this. Who was this man. where was her Love where was her lieutenant Drake she loved and he loved and adored her? She about screamed when he turned her over and ripped her panties from her body quickly she pulled the gown back in place trying to hide herself from his view, she was scared for her life even more so hen when BlackHawks first took her.

She thought he may even rape her or try to. this was not the man she gave her heart to not the same man at all. his plan and threats revealed to her and then he stood over top of her with her ripped panties in his hand true her father would be angry but would he believe his only daughter or the words of the man that now stood over her with her panties in his hand in the middle of the night. all she had to do was scream and her father would pouch in that room after drake. but after all that had happen , she was only there but two days and all this happened and he threaten to send her away if she didn't listen to him. she was like a lamb lead to slatter ,she had no choice she didn't have a way out with out Drake and she knew it, and damn it so did he. He grinned to her continuing

"You have to think very carefully now Jen. If you tell your father about me and Sadie, I will shove this in his face, and both of us will be disowned by him. If we keep our mouths shut, no one will know, and everything can go according to plan. I won't have to deal with your shit anymore, as soon as I'm your husband and you are my wife. its your choice."

she stared to him trembling under him he did climb back up over top of her throwing her gown up so he could see what it was he would be getting in the deal as it was. His hands moved over her body even once a quick caress to her most intimate spot as she gasped and held her breath he laughed then pulled back his hand crouching overtop of her.

All she could do was nod back to him agreeing with his words she did love her father and would not be able to stand being disowned by this man and would not take the chances in that fact. The plans in motion the wheels already turning she nodded then found her voice in a trembling whisper she still cried yet stated her words to him clearly.

"Tomorrow is supposed to be our wedding day .Father agreed to it , now i am sorry i ever asked him to do so. Thomas Drake your not the man i thought you to be at all. but I will keep my mouth shut and I will marry you as planed. but you will not touch me do you hear me . your filthy hands and body will not dare touch mine ever again. i would rather die a thousand deaths then have you touch me after your where with that woman. Now leave my room before I change my mind and scream out rape for my father to kill you himself with his bare hands even before you ever had a chance to say my name."

Her eyes stared to his boldly now anger of the kind she had never knew existed from her burned in those dark Green orbs. he smirked a smile of defiance and leaned to her kissing he, his tongue swelling into her mouth as he grabbed her breast and roughly kneaded and fondled it all the while she tried to roll him off of her . pounding his back and even clawing at his chest. he laughed then lifted with a look telling her it wasn't over yet, then he walked out saying "we shall see..."

She rolled over and retched into the basin sick from all she had seen and his touch now that he had just been with that women. she didn't know he stayed by her window watching her listening to her tears making sure she keep her word. did he hear her cry out the one name that she felt would help her did he before he left to return to Sadie if that was where he was going?

"Black Hawk..."

 

[prometheus 2]

Black Hawk

In his hiding place among the trees and tall grass Black Hawk waited for Little Stars signal. He was thinking about this woman whom the spirits had named Shinning Moon and the few moments of passion they had shared at sunrise. It seemed so long ago and yet the feeling of her lips against his remained in his mind, like it had just happened.

A rustle in the grass alerted him and in the moonlight he saw Little Star alongside of him.
"Hello brother, she whispered. I know I was to signal you with the call of the owl but things have changed since you last talked to Two Moons."

Black Hawk listened in silence as she told him about all that was going on at the fort. That the father of the woman he was to kidnap had consented to the marriage of his daughter to the soldier named Tom. That Tom was with another woman and Jen had found out and there was a fight between the two. She had seen it with her own eyes. the man had ripped her underclothes off and threatened her. Little Star didn't understand the meaning of this but knew there was no love between the two anymore only contempt and anger. She felt bad for the woman because she had been deceived by the man but that was the way these whitemen were they wern't even honest with their women.

"You must take he now, my brother. Little Star pleaded tomorrow will be too late."

She took Black Hawks hand and looked in his eyes in the moonlight.
"Do it now, she said again. The time is right the owl has told me so."

In the distance an owl hooted two hooo ttwo whooo agreeing with Little Star that the time was indeed right.

"The woman you seek is in the officers quarters outside of the gate. Her father sleeps soundly in the next room he's had a hard days ride chasing after you, she chuckled. So he is no problem, but the man, this Tom is prowling around, watch out for him, though I think he's gone, his tail between his legs like the dog that he is, to his lovers bed for consolation."

She dropped his hand and disappeared into the darkness.

This will be easy Black Hawk said to himself as he made his way quietly toward the officers cabins. there was a light on in the cabin and the door was ajar. He stood for a moment in front of the door listening. Then he heard footsteps coming toward the door and the whimpering of a woman crying out his name

"Black Hawk". She stagered out and fell into his arms.

"Shining Moon." he replied not realizing he even said it. He scooped her up and ran with her to the woods. She didn't even struggle to get away so distraught she was and even held on to his shoulders She climbed onto his horse and he jumped on behind her and urged his horse north ward not even worried about leaving tracks. When they reached the rocky ridge the tracks disappeared on the hard rocks and he changed direction heading for the cave. he held her from behind taking in the scent of her, remembering it from before and smiling as they rode on into the night.

 

[Funloving62]

Jen

His name flowed so softly from her lips she stood and walked to the door to get some fresh air she needed to think to clear her mind. She opened the door and there he was, like a dream she called to him and there he was she fell into his arm exhausted and shocked, emotions raw and overtaken more so them ever in her life.

"Shining Moon."

He called her that name he chose for her ,that beautiful name he bestowed to her .he called out taking her out into the woods away from all t his always from the craziness that her life had become. she thought as he lifted her to his mount and slid in behind her she though what was she doing she was leaving all she ever knew and to God knows where or what would happen to her but she felt a safety in his arms and in her mind she knew deep down she knew he would not harm her only protect her. What pained her the most was her father she might never see him again but if he sent her away she might face that same fate any how and this way there was no tome he could not harm her with Black hawk. and he would never know, or would he did he hear her call his name does he know if that why he was so angry but then she knew she did nothing wrong.

She leaned back against his chest as he rode onwards taking her to a quiet place she had never seen before a place in silence as she listen to the rising and falling of his breathing and the hoof beats of his stallion. only once did she look up to him lifting her sad gaze to him in wonder yet she nuzzled in against him again waiting for him to speak or show here where he was taking Her.

 

[prometheus 2]

Black Hawk

" Do not be afraid Shining moon". he said as she looked up at him, her green eyes sad but but bright in the moonlight. He turned the stallion to the north again and slowed him down as they were safely away from the fort by now and they had half nights travel ahead of them, still he needed to get to the cave before the sun came up so that if things went wrong she would not know how they came to the entrance and tell others the way into Little Canyon.

"Perfect, he said as later they arrived. The moon had gone down and the sun was not up yet so that it was pitch dark when they dismounted and he hobbled the stallion nearby for Two Moons to pick up in the morning.

At the entrance he took her hands in his and even though it was dark he could feel her looking at him as he looked at her. "I will not harm you, Shining moon. The spirits have told me to keep you safe it is their wish not mine that this happen for both of us for you and for me too."

"It is their wish, he said again, but it is also my desire. I know that you may not understand now but soon you will. I promise that and if after the truth unfolds itself to you, you desire to return to the fort I will bring you there."

He led her to the small entrance to the cave and guided her into it. "Just crawl ahead and I will follow, a few feet and you can stand and walk again but do not until I light a torch so that we can see our way ahead."

she did as she was told and as they stood he lighted a birch bark torch and they moved down the passage. At the edge of the crevace he stopped her and pulling the bridge from its hiding place in the corner pushed it across the chasm onto the other side. He took her hand and led her across. Once on the other side he pulled the bridge toward them and to a placed alongside of the caverns wall.

The sun was coming up when the came to the exit into the Little canyon and they looked out to see the lake and the wooded area around it below them.

They both caught their breaths as they gazed in wonder at the beauty below them. and looked up in the sky to see the eagle gliding effortlessly above them as if leading the way down the slope to the valley below.

 

[papillon24]

Sadie

I jumped back i suprise at the quickness for him to leave.

"Tom!!Where in god's name are you goin. What is the matter."

He rushed out in a hurry mubling something about coming back wheh he could.

I slumped myself back onto the bed and crossed my arms in frustration and waited for his return.

 

[Funloving62]

jen

The ride was long, she even fell asleep in his arms till they came to a stop she opened her eyes .She listened to his words and heard every part of his words. Not only hearing it but feeling the sincerity in which he spoke it.

"It is their wish, he said again, but it is also my desire. I know that you may not understand now but soon you will. I promise that and if after the truth unfolds itself to you, you desire to return to the fort I will bring you there."

Also My desire he said what did he mean by that what truth what was he talkigj ab out ? she watched him as he lead her though these dark caverns she though on much as she now only heard there footsteps echoing in that cave . she though on what she would do Now? What life would be now with out her fathers loving arms and guidance. did she make the right choice in not stopping Black Hawk from taking her away? she did'nt fight him she was sort of in a daze back there, and even more so now . He let her deal with her world, her ways but how long would he remain this waywith her ? Would he turn out to be like Tom once he got what he wanted, grow mean nasty and shout at her call her horrible namesz? these now where all thoughts racing through her mind now.

she still felt the sting of Toms word and actions. Yes she was away form it now , what choice did she truly have ? Either stay and live a horrid life as his wife or be shipped back to Boston to live away from her father till God know when, or if she would see him again? But now she might never see him again as it is. but at least she would have the upper hand on Leiutenten Drake . She sort of wishes she could see his face at the wedding when no one shows up. she smirked knowing her father was told she would be with him last night and now she was gone...Not at all looking well for Leitenat Drake at all.

They would come after then she knew it and her father would be out for blood Black Hawks blood. God she couldn't let that happen had he taken her far enought into this cave of sorts to stay safe from her father . Tarrance Randel was a old hond dog at tracking and he would serch for his daughter and she knew it . it would be hard to keep her hidden for very long.

They moved out as the dawn was just breaking and an eagle circle the skies as if welcoming them she looked to Black hawk and suddenly she started to cry. Not only cry but sobs as the true reality hit her of what could happen now. She went into his arm just the same as she did the night that wild cat almost took her life. but this wasn't right it was not supposed to be this way, it was not supposed to be this way at all . Not him indian a man the whites call savage, but to her Tom was more savage in his actions and waysthen Black hawk ever could be. yet she didint truely know this man only one day the day he stold her from her family her home but now look where she was and basically willingly. she clung to him sobbing feeling his arms surround her trying to calm her. Even speak to her in soothing tones from his own language, as she nuzzled into his arms openingly crying...

"What am I going to do Black Hawk where will I go, what will happen to me?"

She clung to him not even understanding why she was not afaid or upset at being with the man she ran from, the man that started this whole thing two days back. Was this where she wanted to be, and why why did she feel safe in his arms not in danger why was he there this night had he come to steel her away again? These where all questions she would find out later. now she clung to the saftey of his embrace and calming tones.

 

[poohlive]

"I'm sorry about that," Drake came back in, a calmness coming over him once more. He looked at her, sitting back in her bed, and couldn't help but mover over her. He pressed his body against her. Yelling at that Goddamn prick Jen had really roused his blood.
"She just needs to know her place, you know? Not ruin our personal time," He kissed her deeply.

 

[papillon24]

Sadie

i broke the kiss a bit short.

"I thought taht you didn't care about her. Your wouldn't have run after her if you didn't."

I quickly pulled him to me. I felt his hand come to rest on my thigh. My fingers danced through his hair.

"Promise me Tom...Promise me....you will never do that again."

 

[poohlive]

"I didn't run cause of her, "He kissed her, letting his hands run down her body, "I just didn't want her to talk to her father about us. He would have kicked us both out on our asses"
He began to nibble at her neck.
"I promise you, anything my dear. I'll give you my heart, just love me, that is all I ask."

 

[papillon24]

Sadie

"Tom I do love you but your reaction to her.." my neck arched giving his better acces. "I do not believe the general would do such a thing." My fingers danced in his hair coaxing him on linging on the back his neck

 

[prometheus 2]

Black Hawk

"What am I going to do Black Hawk where will I go, what will happen to me?"

He heard her say and put his fingerto her lips "Shhhhhh he said to quiet her and then in a soft voice so as to not cause her anymore anguish said." Your name wii be Shinning Moon while you are here with me in this special place He pointed to the west where the moon barely visable now was disappearing below the ridge. For now you must rest just as your namesake rests and it will be revealed to you these things that your heart and mind ponders. He took her hand and they walked down the side of the hill towards the little pond that wass fed by the underground stream

Two moons had been there earlier and built a fire and left them food and clothes and then before daylight had returned to the village to report to Black Hawks father. A copper pot was in the coals simmering and Black Hawk poured two copper cups full of the heated liquid and gave one to her.
"Drink this he said it will calm you, it's tea made from the rasberry plant. He smiled as he held it out to her.

While she drank he told her about little canyon and that she was safe here until they dicided what to do next. He told her about his father and the plan that he had for her and that he felt maybe his father was wrong but didn't want to disobey him. He told her about how he had changed his feelings about her that if they had some time together maybe they could resolve this problem another way. He even told her about what Little star had discovered that the man she was to marry had another woman that he was intimate with in secret. He watched her blush when he tlked this way and said.

"I speak my mind there are no secrets between us Shining Moon."

He looked in her green eyes to let her see inside him not being afraid sensing that she would not hurt him knowing what she saw and heard. He squated down in the soft grass and drank his tea urging her to do likewise. looking up into the top of a tall pine tree he saw the eagle resting and pointing to it, he said

"The eagle shows us that it is time to rest."

 

[Funloving62]

Jen

She listed to his voice it had a calming affect on her indeed or was it the tea? She had had a few sips of the sweet treat. It was warm and calming she felt it in her blood as even her breathing had calmed now. Her eyes heard him call her his own Indian name as she smiled liking it truely, almost able to escape from her world into his. But did she have a right to do so?

she watched him listening to all he said even frighten about hearing the plans his father had for her, but his words seemed to hold a warmth in it a feeling of security. The words hit her hearing about Tom hearing what she already knew to be true now. her wrists still held the evidence of his mean streak and deceitful ways the bruises left from his fingers holding her down so tightly then she heard his words.

"I speak my mind there are no secrets between us Shining Moon."


She lowered her head and did drink again from the mug then spoke out to him, her eyes hidden by that mask of lashes ashamed and hurt all in the same time frame.

" I know about Tom andthat ... woman. I saw it with my own two eyes. He to told me the same. He told me there would be know secrets between us. Yet he was holding theone thing that tore at my heart. But I to held one. I was not sure of not at all not until I saw you again.But now I do know I held a truth from him. So does that make me a bad person to? How do I know I can trust you in these same words, yet why would you lie to me and why would you need to tell me the truth ? I am nothing to you, Only a pawn in your fathers plans you said so your self, you would not wish to disappoint him. Yet now you say you have feelings for me? Its all so confusing how am I rest now? My mind is whirling, my world has crashed in around me. nothing will ever be then same."

She turned from him rubbing the sore wrists his eyes catching sight of the bruises from her struggle as she shook her head trying to clear it. so many thing ran though her head should she go to her father tell him what happen everything and be taken back to Boston. Then she would never have to face Thomas Drake again but then she would never see Black Hawk again either and she wanted to see him but why? He was a stranger to her a man that took her from her family ,had plans to use her against her own father to get what his people wanted. She looked up at him more confused then ever, as her hand reached to his thigh soflty to gain his full attention as she now looked up to him bodly.

"How do I know I can trust you? How do I know I can ever trust anyone ever again?"

 

[prometheus 2]

"How do I know I can trust you? How do I know I can ever trust anyone ever again?"

Black Hawk looked down at her, He tried not to show his unhappiness. Had she not heard him? Did he not say that there were no secrets betwen them ? How could she not believe that she could trust him?

He looked off in the distance for a sign, a sign to tell him what to do next. Two whitetailed deer were laying int he tall grass on the other side of the pond, a buck and a doe. As they lay there Black Hawk saw that the doe was sleeping Her head was laying on the bucks shoulder her eyes were closed. The buck was softly nuzzling her neck behind her ear, and the tip of her nose.

Black Hawk knew that it was not the time for more words. He realized that what Shining Moon needed most was the comfort of touch, the security of being close. He turned back to Shining Moon and said quietly.

" Sit with me."

He squated down cross legged on the soft grass and reaching up took her hand and pulled her into his lap. He knew the tea wold calm her, make her sleepy and give her pleasant dreams. He put his arms around her and began to rock her, humming a song that his mother had taught him.

 

[Funloving62]

Jen

He spoke out, breaking her own little silent world.

"Sit with me."

She didn't get a chance to respond, he took her hand pulling her into his lap. As she looked up to him in surprise. She didn't fight him like last time it was different now, yet why? That was a question she kept asking herself, she had many questions that plagued her mind with him, why him basically why a savage like her father called them. yet he didn't feel savage he didn't feel dangerous her body was not alerted to any danger his touch was not harsh or vile. She felt warm and comfortable even in his lap.

Sipping at the tea she relaxed fully leaning bak against his in silence. Somehow he knew she was not up to talking about things anymore right now he knew it somehow. How did he know so much about her how did he know she needed him back there? yet there he was like out of the air he appeared. Looking down she saw his hand still held to her a soft caress granted over her palm with his thumb as he was now humming to her softly. She could feel the sound resonating from his chest as she leaned against him there closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.

A paradise around them birds singing the air so sweet she cuddled up against him his arms held her to tightly so warmly she felt safe she felt loved and wanted. She looked up as a women she never knew carried in a tiny bundle wrapped in doeskin laying it in her arm as he smiled proudly brushing her cheek with the back of his hand and he spoke.

"You have given me a fine son Shinning Moon. I am proud of my women and another son."

The vision continues with happiness and many people in a small village a small little boy the image of his father climbed up to his fathers lap and looked in the covering to his new baby brother and hugged his father. there was a celebration outside many where there happiness seemed to abound then the scene darken a Strom raged, thunder echoed in the distance was it thunder or was it the sound of many horsed thundering in to the village. Then suddenly she saw it that face that horrible face and he was comming right for her shouting her name. it was Tom, the vision faded.

She awoke in silence her eyes fluttered open slowly. She felt the arms that held to her protectively.,she felt warm,wanted,cared for as she snuggled back against him. It was then she blinked thinking about her dream. It was, Black hawk, and the bundle was his child. He spoke of her giving him another son so that was two. Her gaze narrowed as she thought on this listening to the birds singing the air was warm and sweet in this place. He held to her tenderly, just like her dream, or was it a dream? She jumped and sat up in his arms he held he tighter as she moved looking to her with concern in her eyes. she looked around they where still in this place behind the caves still where she had fell asleep before nothing had changed. A hand went to rub her head as she sighed softly and relaxed back against him again her words softly spoken almost a whisper not to be heard by anyone.

"It was a dream only a dream."

Black Hawk

"It was a dream, only a dream."

"Yes it was, Shining Moon Black, Hawk said softly, but dreams tell us many things perhaps it was a dream of something you desired. perhaps it was just a sign of what things might come. But life is more than following your dreams or waiting for them to come true. If you want something to be, you must work hard for it and if it is really what you want it will be worth the work. But that's enough talk about dreams. he added. Now that we have rested it is time to take care of our other needs." He motioned her to rise and helped her gain her feet. After adding wood to the fire he got out the packs that two moons had brought and handed her the deerskin dress. Go to the pond and bathe. He saw her hesitation and contined to reasure her.

"I will respect your privacy as I have other things to attend to. Do not be afraid."

He walked into the woods where two Moons had set a snare for rabbits. He found one there and returning to the fire began to remove the skin and prepare it for roasting. He fastened it to a green stick and placed it between two forked sticks stuck in the ground on each side of the fire.

He returned to the woods where a small spring made a pool of cold clear water picking some watercress and some berries he found nearby.

Back at the fire he turned the rabbit to keep it from burning and streched the rabbit skin fur side in on a board made for it. setting it by the fire to dry. He made some more tea and waited for Shining Moon to return.

She heard him tell her to take a bath then she saw that same doeskin tunic she had to smile remembering how it felt on her skin as she took it with a bit of hesitation then heard him say.

"I will respect your privacy as I have other things to attend to. Do not be afraid."

She nodded and moved for him to the water lowing down then removing her boots looking back to where he was seeing him gone now she did smiled softly knowing he had not lied to her before about such so why would he now.

the water felt warm soothing to her as she plunged into it not even looking bak feeling calm and relaxed now was it the water or him she swam a bit the washed and hurried to return back to him she thought on that dream as she dried and put that tunic over her head feeling its butter softness flow around her wringing her hair out and pulling her hair back in a single braid to dry. she walked up the path back to where he left her she could smell the scent of food roasting as she walked in seeing him turning the spit as she smiled to him warmly, a soft genuine smile as she moved over and set her folded things down looking around.

is there someplace i can put these, Black Hawk. i don't think i will be needing them for a little while. she sat beside him with that smile. the first true smile she had really granted him alone on her own.

" it smells good Black hawk but now what will we do we can't hide forever""

"Her father is an evil man, just as she is. They both stand in the way of us," He lingered over her, looking down at her soft body, his lips dancing on her skin.
"I will never let them come between us. I will never let anything come between us."
He moved down, fumbling loosely at her clothes to reach the tender flesh beneath.

Black Hawk

"We are not hiding." Black Hawk said as he pointed to the sky above them where the eagles soared.
Again he pointed to the deer across the pond that now grazed on the tender grass,looking up ocasionally to eye them couriously. "We are only waiting, waiting in a safe place to learn what is in store for us and for our future."

He looked back down at her, into her green courious yet worried eyes."But you are right to ask what will we do, there is a time to take matters in our own hands and control our own destiny. But first let's eat." He took the pile of clothes and put them in a leather pouch. "These will be with us when ever you want them don't be afraid to take them and follow your heart, if you feel the need. Two Moon is not so far away that we can't signal him to bring fresh horses and take you back to your people if you desire.
Tonight we will leave this place under the cover of darkness we will travel to my people where I will meet my father and try to convince him of his folly. I'm afraid that we willnot be able to make a deal with your people. No matter how much they want you back there will be much bloodshed and no good will come of it. The best we can hope for is to show you the hardships your people have caused mine, and then if we can convince you of our need perhaps you can tell your people about it and our leaders can sit down with each other and talk about making changes before it is too late.

After they ate, Black Hawk told her the history of his people and all that had come about as the whiteman had pushed them ever westward into the dry and arid lands they now inhabited. he watched her listen carefully weighing hiswords at time her green eyes showing uncertaintly but she remained quiet and respectfull. He looked at her in the doeskin dress, her hair flowing about her shoulders caught sunlight and her soft body under her dress made him remember the kiss and the warmth of each others bodies that the felt on that first night. He ke=new she had questions about this and about what concerned just the two of them. He took her hand and led her towards the pond picking s flower along the way placing it carefully in her auburn hair.

"Shining Moon, he said softly, There is more to the last days events than meet the eye...."

He hesitated not knowing just how to tell her his feelings, he didn't even know himself except that he longed to be with her his whole life suddenly seemed to revolve around her. He turned to her and taking both of her hands in his pulled her into his arms and held her, rocking her gently whispering in her ear, Just have patience , trust me please......
