Entwined Hearts
Matt continued riding further into the high country ,
knowing the places, he could find Jake… sensing the presence,.. of someone
following him…. He hung back…
As Night fall approached,… The young soldier, made camp,…
tied up his horse,… made a fire… figured on getting an early start at first
light……The night was quiet Silent,… then he heard the sound of his horse
snort….. quickly pulling his pistol and firing… hearing a yelp!.. then a
thud! When investigating,… he found a
young Indian girl… un conscience ..on the ground… “OH!... Oh My! Kneeling beside her seeing Blood trickling
from her head,… Miss?...Miss? Taking a
cloth from his Jacket,.. wiping her head…I’m Sorry..I, I,… then hearing a noise coming from the trees….
Three small Indian children… staring on… callin’ to them…”She Yours”?.. then
pulling some crakers from his pouch,… “Hungry”?
go on,… take it… just then a slight moan,… the young soldier,… focused
his attention, on the young girl,… Don’t move… When she looked at him,.. she
said, “You Shoot Me”… ! Well You were
stealing y Horse! .. Hey You speak
English? Yes!... Why ‘d you try to steal my horse? She wouldn’t answer…. Then, she said…Need to stop you,.. Need to
warn My Father… Warn Your Father?.. what
are you talking about? You want to hurt My Father…! Your Crazy! Then a shot rang out… he quickly ..dove to cover her the children ran into the
bushes…. What was that,…? Told you,….. you want to hurt My
Father! The
young soldier, realized there was someone or someone’s out there , and she
thought he was part of them… No!... No!
I don’t know who that is out there?
I’m with the United States Army!....I know you soldier! I won’t let you hurt My Father. I don’t know your Father! He just let out a big exhale….
Matt was near by
enough to hear the shot guns go off,… following the sounds…. .. they led him to
where Young Bright Water had led the Young Soldier… to an Indian camp…. When
she got him there ,… she hit him over the head…
and some of the Woman tied him up…. But the Men shooting at them in the
woods also followed… Well, look what we have here? They began rough handling the woman ,..
most of the Men folk were off hunting…. Where is he? Bright Water wouldn’t answer…. Just as the
Buffalo hunter was about to Cut her with a Knife… A Shot … she screamed out “Uncle Matt!” Uncle Matt!”… and ran to him…. You have one
Minute to get going… We’l Git um’ Dillon!
We’ll Git’um..and they rode off….
Bright Water, what is goin’ on here…I have to save My
Father… soldier Boy came lookin’ for My Father….Bright Water, I’ll Find
Jake! Where is this Soldier Boy? In Teepee!
Matt furrowed his brow… Bright Water? He a live Uncle matt… and she
smiled. My Father not kill anyone…
Hugging her close,… I know Bright Water, I know! When he went into the TeePee, the young soldier was furious…. Mr.
Dillon, I’m going to report this to my
superiors… Son You do that! Bright
Water, Leave him there till…..Ahhh, Morning …! MR. DIL-LONNNNNN! Matt just left. Uncle
matt I want to come with you? No! … I’ll
Find Jake … It’s better this way…I love You Uncle Matt!... Bright Water, Matt
just nodded, then winked as he rode off.
He rode off, higher , he now had a better idea where to find
Jake. He figured he was headed closer
to the boarder,… especially if he knew he was being hunted. Jake was hiding up in the Rocks,… he noticed a Rider coming in,…
fired a few warning shots,… Jake!,… Jake Flagg!
It’s me Matt!, Matt Dillon! When Jake heard his voice,… he put down his
gun,.. Well why didn’t you say so
man!? Com’on in! when matt reached the location,… Wow!
What a site for sore eyes! Come up to
the ol’ huntin’ ground? Jake?
Matt , Had to find you buddy,.. Had too… Your in danger! What kind Jake….But how’d you know I was up
here? ,… Jake there a Bounty on you! Fur
what? .. ya I know I excaped , but I’m gonna go back I swear… I just had ta’
warn ya Matt. Jake , Why? Why’d ya …
What ? The warden… Ahh, He’ll be fine matt it’s just his ankle… Jake he’s dead!...

said he was gonna make you pay…who Jake,… you and … and Miss Kitty!,….Jake? Mannon!
Mannon’s Free Matt! He’s been
Peroled! But he swore he’d get ya
Matt!…..
Just then again, Shots rang out… several…. It was the
three Bounty hunter, for several hours
Matt and Jake fought them off,Jake was hit injured bad…
But They had killed all three men….
Matt noticed that they had visitors,.. Bright Water, Little
Doe, and The young soldier,… Matt had convinced the young soldier of Jake’s
innocence…. And he agreed to help them make it to the Canadian Boarder…
there, there was an Indian camp that would help Little Doe
care for him…
Matt headed back towards Kansas…. He decided to stop at
Jake’s cabin…to rest along the way…

Kitty Sat vigil at Doc’s bed side,. He was seemly
getting a bit stronger… just when she …
started to close her eyes…. A grumble, of sound… Hey young lady…? I must be Pretty Sick to warrant a visit all
the way from New Orleans? Quickly, she
opened her eyes… Curly? Your Going to
be Just Fine! I promise! How long have
I been in this bed?… he tried to get up… shaking her head,.. Oh No you
