Weeping Doe sat at a small table in the dinning hall were as she normally hated the Colonel Chanson, she might as wlel ahd been clinging to him. across from her was Colonel Cluster & Comander Abel west. Needless to say she was scared, and was failing at her atemps of hiding it. "So you took from the tribe as payment?" Abel asked with a look of disaprovment. Chanson nodded "i wanted this flowe rmore that i wanted there items" he said. Cluster smirked. "she is a pretty little thing" he said turnign to Weeping Doe with a Amused face. "aren't you Lakota" he said. Weeping doe glared " i do have a name" she muttered. Chanson smiled. Cluster laughed. Weeping doe looked down she had no Dignity here at all. she sunk down in her chair. her hair fell around her face casting it in shadow. "just you guys wait.." she thought.

When the Men had finished eating Chanson took her down to were they break the horses. A dark drown horse was tied up in what looked like an unfinished pin, as a fat man cut it's mane and went to brand it. the horse tried to buck but it was tied down to tight. Weeping Doe looked horrified. "what are you doing it!" she sherilled. Chanson looked downa t her unbothered. "grooming and Branding it under the US" he said. "then we'll break it" he added. Weeping doe shook her head and swatted the fat mans hand away before he could brand the horse. she then quickly untied it. the horses sensing that she was there to help hide behind her as much as it could. "it's not right, your hurting her! you do not break horses this way!" Weepign Doe yelled. "keep your savage under control Chanson!" the fat man barked. "Murphy!" Chanson called displeased by his choice of words. "Savage? me? look at you look at what your doing here!" She yelled. "look at that!" she said point furiously to the horses and the calvary men riding them around the area in a circle. "they're dazed, they don't have the soulfull look in there eyes any more, you tame them Colonel not break them Horse's should never loose that wild fire!" Weeping Doe said  she was Causing a large scene and most of the Calvary had been staring. "you're Monsters!" she yelled. the horse behind her was taken away by a stable worker while she wasn't looking. Chanson grabed her arm. "let me go!" she called fighting agenst him as he tried to drag her back into the housing area. He was man but at the same time he understood her.

Chanson slamed the door to weeping doe's small room after tossing her inside. "what are you trying to do!" he yelled. Weepign doe had her back to him and was tapping her foot. "you could have be lowerd down in rank for what you just pulled!" he eyelled. Weepign doe whiped around, fire buring in her eyes. "de ranked?" she laughed taking a step closer to him. "thats ally ou care about right?" she asked taking another step "status" she huffed taking yet another step. " you don't care about the innocent soul you're ruining out there!" Chanson took a step back. Weeping Doe looked furious and she was no longer afraid. all within her was white hot anger. " you lie, you siad it was a front but you are like them, heartless, ignorrent, monsters" she said.  Chanson got quiet and looked down at his feet. "one day you'll feel the pain they feel and no one will care about you either" she barked before goign abck to her cot she sat down. "get out" Weepign Doe ordered. Chanson looked taken back. "get out!" she yelled. without another word he was gone. Weeping Doe colapsed on her cot and cried. "these men are taking over the area...what will life be like now?" she thought.

 Meanwhile Little Creek was closer to the Calvary base he could see it, a small speck in the distance. Sunray spotted it too and and her mind clicked as she being to gallop in full gate. Little creek smiled and patted her neck. "i'm cooming Doe" he thought. as htey approtched the gates two men stoped them. "that is your busness here?" One asked Little Creek stayed silent, Weeping Doe had taught him some english but, his was still very very rocky. He just glared at them. "hey i think he's with the lakota girl Chanson braught here a few days ago" The other man said. Little creek rolled his eyes and toss two large rocks at each of the men, with a sling shot he had brough. Sunray gave a horse laughed and ramed through the gates, and ran trough the Training area causing an up roar in the sabled horses and the men. he were tiring franticly to clam the horses and catch the rouge indian. "weeping doe!" Little creek called as he road around. Looking up at all the windows and door ways. He called out for her again yet he still saw no sign of her. Sunray came to a stop as the man that took her Stood infront of Them with two others A dirty blone and a platinume blonde man. "leave lakota" He said Little creek glared and hoped off of Sunray, in a "make me" mannor.

Weeping Doe ran through the Bases Housing area. She heard him, She knew Little Creek was there and her heart Desperatly wanted to find him. her pounded in her chest. these men had horrible weapons called guns and she knew they were deadly. she didn't trust any of them not to use it. She rounded another corner and foudn a door. barreling through it she say Little creek and SUnray standing infront of Chanson, Abel and Cluster. Cluster went to  lift his rifle. "Chanson stop!" she called running up to the men, Little Creek Looked up at her and smiled but it was a worried one, as Chanson pushed her back behind him. " go back inside" Chanson orderd. "no, I know him, he is my fiance as your people call it" she said and tried to walk past him again, but he stoped her. She looked at his arm and then at him glaring. Little creek gripped a danner that was straped to his side. "i wouldn't do that Lakota" Cluster said calmly point his rifle at Little Creeks Chest. Weeping Doe froze. "don't" she said turing to Chanson "call them off" she said slightly paniced. "i rank higher than Chanson Child it's my call" Cluster said  Weepign Doe ignored him. "please" she said. her heart raced in her chest. " you want to prove what i said earlier wrong....do this for me please...please" she reasoned. Chanson looked at her in a pale green eyes. and her pleading look made her look just like he name. Little creek let out a yell as he took this time to atack and tossed the dagger at Comander Abel, who was hit but only in the shoulder. this caused Cluster to fire, but with quick thinking sunray knocked Little Creek to the ground and was shot in the leg. "sunray!" Weeping doe cried she pushed past chanson and knelt at her horses side.  Little creek  glared at the men as he went to move to run at them a war cry was set off in the distance.

Killowya and Sounding Wind Bolted through the Calvary base. SOunding WInd slung stones at Cluster making him stay away from Little Creeks and Weeping Doe. Killowya hoped off of his horse and checked His brother and Future sister for injuried before standing infront of them. Weeping Doe tended to her horses leg. and Little Creek went to join his brothers. Sounding WInd had CLuster knocked out and Killowya had Abel on the ground holding hsi hurt shoulder and Leg. Little Creek stood infront of Chanson, the two were in a staring contest of sorts. Some how Sunray was able to walk and stand but she could not be riden that extra weight would ahve been to much. Weeping doe went being Little Creeka nd Wraped herself around his arm. "lets just go" she muttered hidding her face. He glance back at her before turning back to Chanson.  Weepign Doe looked abck up at Chanson. he locked eyes with her and sighed. He gave a signal to the Calvary men. they opened the gates to the base. Little Creek backed up to Sounding wind and helped Weepign Doe up on his horse and then he went to Killowya and got on his horse with him. they made their way out with Sunray following them painfull and slowly.Chanson watched the Lakot a leave. Weeping Doe glanced back at him in a small "thank you" way. before they headed out of sight.

Back at the Tribe, Weeping Doe went to tend to Sunrays leg. "uhuh..no  you go and rest i can work with sunray" Quiet rain said ushering Weeping Doe to her tent. Weeping doe gave a tired sigh and did as told. She sat on her bed mixed with various bear furs and Cougar skins  so it was soft and closed her eyes. Two arms snaked ther way around her. "little creek" she breathed. His head rested on her shoulder, his face drowning in her hair. " it's nice to have you back" he said. her body frame srunk under his. "i'm sorry i shouldn't have told themt o take me...but i couldn't let them steal form the elderly adn the wemon int he village." she said. He shook his head. "you did what any wise leader would have i am proud" he said his voice cracking slightly. He turned her aorund and cuppe dher cheek. "but don't do it again" he said. he rubed her cheek with his thumb. Weeping Doe laid a hand on top of his. "it won't happen again they won't come back" she siad. He frowned "yes they will...we've mae then angry" he said with a pause. "but they would be back without war" he said. Weeping Doe was spooked now, he said it so darkly, Little Creek wasn't serious, he was playfull, this wans't like him at all. "creek" she mused. He snapped out of it and looked at her lovingly.  Pulling her into a hug her ran his fingers through her hair. " they didn't hurt you?" he asked. "no, nothing but my pride other than that i am ok" she said. He sighed, obviously tired. "you should sleep" Weepign Doe said Pulling away. "he pulled her back into an embrace. "i can't" he said. "and I won't be able to tonight" he said. Weeping doe shook her head and pulled away and pushe dhim back onto the furs. she took th eblanket and covered him up. "sleep, i'm here and i am not leaving." she cooed. He blinked trying to stop his closing eyes. she took his and.  blew out the candle as she grabed some straw for weaving. "sleep" she said leting go of his hand she begiant o weeve a basket to calm her own nervs. soon Little creek was alseep, she could hear his light breathing and smiled.

Morning rolled Around Little Creek awoke with smile which fade when he turned aorund to see Weeping Doe was gone. He jumped up Paniced and ran out of the tent. He looked aorund franticly. "well it's about time you woke" She said with a small giggle. She and Quiet ran were sitting outside of the tent at the fire, cooking fish they had caught earlier that morning. Little Creek sigh in releif and then went over to Weepign Doe he psuhed her arm lightly. "that was mean" he said with a pouting face. "oh did i scare you?" she asked innocently. "yes"he said bluntly before wraping his arms aorund her waiste. she smiled slightly and then frown slightly. Quiet rain looked at her and understood "he had an Teritorial additude in the way he Held her. his arms were wraped aorund her as if to say "she's mine" which wasn't a horrible thing, it's jsut it wasn't him. "you're still bothered?" Weeping Doe Whispered. He just nodded and rested his hea don her shoulder. " I think you need to go on a ride with your brothers." Weeping Doe Sugested. "it will help you feel better, it was scary yes...but it's over now" She said. Little creek let her go. "no it's not you didn't see the look on the One mans face" he said. Weeping Doe raise an Eyebrow "what man?" she asked. "the pale one with the dark hair" he said. Weeping doe blinked "colonel Chanson" she said. "is that his name" Little Creek said Bitterly. "I'll go with my brothers" he said he then kissed her softly "but please be here when i get back" he said. Weeping Doe nodded "i'm not going anywhere i've got alot of work to do and ive got to tend to Sunray's Leg" she said he smiled at her and let. Quiet rain sighed "oh boy i've never seen my brother so shaken up" she siad as she cutt up the fish and put in into a corn roll (like a tortia), with some vegtibles. "i know" Weeping Doe said with a small faded smile. "it seems  this world is tell us, it's tiem we've grown up" she said. "he is to be the future cheif" she added Quiet rain nodded. "he'll need to know hwo to handle things like this." Weeping doe frowned at Quiet rains statment. "but will that change him?" She asked. "who creek?"
