I awoke in the morning to find my love gone without a trace.I knew he had gone off to die .Again I was alone I knew the only thing for me to do was to make my way to warn the others. Did was long hard road the hot days grew cold and before long I realized I was with child. They only way to survive was to make it there to my people. Adentually I made it up the river and mountain and to a creek where women were out doing their wash. I was tired and weather beaten and full of child. The women saw me and ran to me calling for help. They took me in and cleaned me up and tried to nurse me to health. I was in labor and when the baby came there was nothing to stop the bleeding. I looked at her and smiled "please take care of my child" she is the daughter of a brave warrior thunder wolf." The wolves howled in the distance and I left and went on to be with my ancestors....
It was my wedding day. My mother and I and the other woman of the tribe were out in the meadow weaving our baskets and picking fruits for our festival. Earlier that day my soon to be husband (head of the war party) and the rest of the warriors were heading out to check the area they heard the white men were close and wanted to make sure our celebration would not be interupted.I warned him not to go but strong and subburn he would not listen.I stuck my feather in his hair and braided it down the side. He kissed me and said he promised to return and then we would be wed. Something fell in my heart as i saw him ride away....
As my mother and the others sat a strange thunderous sound can in the wind. The sound of speeding hooves. The white men had ambushed the tribe. Poeple scattered everywhere. My mother grabbed me and we hid in near by bushes. She ran out and led them away from me. All I could do was watch in horror as my family was being slaughtered!~
They found me and I ran dodging to and fro until I ran up the cliff to the drop off.I was trapped and I new my fate if the white man were to take me. So I jumped into the river below. i awoke much later to see my village distroyed and my family gone. I guess I was thought to be dead no one came to look for me.
My only hope as the chiefs daughter was to try and make it up the mountian to the sister tribe far away. I made my way into a dark cave and there I lay to rest for awhile.I couldnt shut my eyes because visions of the day rang through my head. I heard russling outside, I grabbed a stick thinking maybe it was the men and they had found me...I prayed for the creator to keep me safe. Suddenly I saw my warrior stumbling in he had found me he was badly wounded. I tried to heal him as much as I could. Thinking this was the last night on earth we would spend it dieing in eachothers arms. We made love and our souls joined as one..We vowed through many lifetimes we would find each other again and be as one..

I really like this story as well too very beauty ending a child born from two lovers. Beautiful.
Half alive I was washed up on shore.I couldnt barely see but a glimmer of light and my body lay there frozen unable to move. I heard voices and this man picked me up and placed me in a carraige. There were two other voices a male and a female. I tried to speak but could not. He wrapped me in a blanket and tried to revive me. I heard the woman speak she said" This child is dieing, she has been in the cold too long her body is suffering. I could feel the man hold me closer and I felt his sorry for me as I lay there dieing in his arms. She said the choice is yours embrace her now and save her life or take her from her misery. The man held me close , I felt a sharp pain and then warmth flowed through my body . I felt my myself fade into darkness........"sleep now beauty and awaken anew"
It was a long time ago in a land rich with forest and adventure. I was a young girl traveling with my family.My mother,grandmother,father,uncle and me.
We were gypsies that traveled from village to village trying to survive. Mother and grandmother read card and made special potions for people. My father and uncle fixed various things and I danced. I loved to dance and people loved to watch.
I remember the day ,it had been a hot summer day and evening still was muggy.We had traveled a great distance and had stopped to make camp. as we sat around the campfire father played his drum and mother sang. I danced around happily. A tall stranger appeared in the distance with his men by his side.They were tired and hungery and asked if they could stay the evening with us.
My mother did not approve but hoping to make some money my father invited them to stay. That sat with us and ate and all the while the stranger stared at me.I didnt like the way he looked at me. In the morning I awoke to my father helping the man pack my things onto his horse..It would appeared I had been sold! The stranger took a great liking to me and promised my family land and riches if he could take me for his bride.My father accepted and before I knew it I was watching my family disappear into the dust.
I soon learnt I was no bride to be loved and cared for I was a slave to do his bidding.we came to the dark, cold castle and I found where I would spend my life tortured and inslaved.
I did everything asked of me and when I didnt I was chained to the wall for days. i vowed one day I would escape I waited for the time to come when I would be free.
I prayed for death everyday.
years had passed and the day came .He was leaving aways for business he would be gone for days. I could sneak pass the guards and run into the forest. I knew how to cover my footsteps and I would be long gone before anyone noticed.As he left early in the morning I ran with all my heart away as fast as I could.
But the forest had changed from what I remembered and it wasnt long before I was lost. In the distance I heard wolves running toward me. I was frightened and I ran as fast as I could . I slept down a hill into an icy river. I tried to swim free but the coldness had taken me over and I felt my body being carried away in the current.
