Chapter Two
As time passed, my people’s relationship with the pale man improved. There wasn’t as much tension and there was a silent understanding that as long as we both kept to ourselves, we would leave one another alone. We traded with them on occasion, but for the most part we minded our own business. Communication was difficult since I was the only native that spoke English. It had been hard to learn, but a kindly pale woman had given me some English books on a trade once. I used those as well as little bits of conversation I could catch when I wandered close enough to their little town.
I was eighteen now and ready to explore the world I had watched from afar for so long. My parents could not stop me anymore, though my mother begged me not to go with tears in her eyes. Her tears broke my heart, but I knew I had to do this.
The sun was high in the sky and I was packing up the last of my things, making sure to tuck away what little gold I had. I would need it to survive on until I could find a job, which might take a while considering there was still a general sense of distrust between the pale men and the natives.
I heard the soft flutter of the door flap and when I turned around, I came face to face with the man I should have married. His name was Dakota and he was everything a woman might want in a husband. He was beautiful, tall, strong, and witty and while I could recognize that he was a good man, I wasn’t interested in staying here for the rest of my life. I had a restless spirit and I needed to go where the wind took me.
“You are leaving,” he stated.
I nodded and stood up, picking up the bag that held all of my belongings. “I am.”
“I thought it was a story people were telling. I did not realize you were actually going to leave.”
It was a bit of an awkward moment and I wasn’t sure what to say so I just nodded. Dakota stepped forward and put a hand on my shoulder, his thumb rubbing my arm gently. I was dressed in a fairly simple dress that I had bought from traders a few months before. I could not very well walk into town wearing pelts with feathers in my hair. If I wanted to be a part of their world and learn more about them, I knew I had to try to fit in.
“Those clothes don’t suit you,” he said.
“This is what they wear. I need to look like them,” I countered.
“No matter how much you look like one of them, they’ll never accept you,” he murmured, his brows furrowed. “You can take off your pelts and you can take the feathers from your hair, but you can’t change your skin,” he said, brushing his fingers over my cheek.
I pulled away from him.
