Marta had put the three younger children down for a nap. She was cleaning up the lunch dishes and putting her bread into the oven to bake, when she jumped at the voice behind her. “You need to bring the two older ones inside right now.” The angel was standing behind her wringing her hands in anxiety. Marta felt the truth of the woman’s words in the pit of her stomach and went out the kitchen door and called to RJ and Rachel to come in. She didn’t have a good excuse to get them inside, but knowing something serious had to be happening for the angel to be so disturbed, she told them to come test the cookies she’d made for dessert that night. The two tore off for the table and she quickly gave them each two cookies and a glass of milk. Marta could see the angel standing just inside the parlor looking out toward the trail that led in from the town. She walked over to the woman. “Who are you?”

The older woman still looked like she had the first time Marta had seen her. Her grey hair was in a simple bun on the top of her head and she wore dark gray widow's reeds over a simple white blouse. “You couldn’t say my true name but you may call me Gloria. I’ve already told you I’m your angel. I was assigned to you and the Clark children just before we met the first time.”

“What has you so worried?”

The angel looked at her. “There are some men coming. I don’t want them to see the children. I wish I could keep them from seeing you, but none of the ranch men are close enough to meet them when they get here. I need you to do what I tell you even if it doesn’t make sense. Tell the children to stay inside for now, please.”

Marta nodded. She didn’t know why, but she trusted this angel. She’d proven herself to have a reason for everything she had told Marta to do so far. If she hadn’t listened, she wouldn’t be here now.

“RJ, Rachel, when you are done with your snack, I need you to stay inside until I tell you otherwise. Stay away from the doors and windows if you can and stay quiet. It’s important and I can’t explain why right now. Will you do that for me?”

Both children looked at her like she’d gone crazy but they nodded at her. “Thank you. Rachel, maybe you can read for a little to your brother until I tell you otherwise. Okay?”

“Yes, Marta.”

“Good. Now you two go back into the hall by the bedrooms. Keep your brother and sisters quiet until I come get you, please.”

“Are you going to be all right?”

She smiled at Rachel who looked like she was a bit worried. “I’ll be fine. I just need you to do this for me. Consider it your next little game.” She winked at the girl and smiled.
