After the children lost their fascination with her, Aimee seized the opportunity to retreat inside the cabin to attend to some bread dough she had completely forgotten about. After punching the dough down, and setting it back in the bowl, she returned the scissors to her backpack, taking care that all her supplies were packed away properly. It wouldn’t do to have anything laying around, in case Daniel decided to enter the cabin. She’d taken great care to keep all her things hidden from view, to ward off unnecessary questions.

The cabin door creaked open and closed. Aimee straightened, then turned her head. She held back a gasp of surprise as she came face to face with an Indian. She recognized him as the same man she had seen talking to Daniel earlier. He wore no shirt, only a breechcloth and leather leggings, and his weapon belt hung at his hips. His ebony hair was long and the braids framing the sides of his face were wrapped in fur. She backed against her bunk and couldn’t maneuver around. Her mouth went dry when the man continued his intense perusal of her. His gaze lingered on her hair.

Glancing quickly in all directions, she found nothing that was within reach that she might use in her defense. He moved to stand closely in front of her. His hand reached out and fingered her hair. He spoke words she didn’t understand, his voice quiet but demanding. Aimee shook her head, and pointed to the door.

“I need to go back outside now,” she said firmly. When she tried to move past him, he blocked her way and his words became more forceful.

“I don’t know what you’re saying, but you need to let me pass.” Her gaze didn’t waver from his eyes. She held her chin up, and hoped that she projected bravery even as her heart raced nervously. She tried to push past him, only to have his hand snake up and encircle one of her wrists. Just as she tried to pull away, the cabin door swung open forcefully, and she sighed in relief when Daniel’s large frame filled the entry. The Indian released her, but after a quick glance at Daniel, his stare returned to her face.

Daniel’s voice was calm and quiet when he spoke to the other man. Slowly, the Indian moved aside.

“Come over here,” Daniel commanded, and she quickly complied. Daniel’s face was hard and unreadable, but she knew him well enough by now to recognize the seething anger in his eyes. “Leave the cabin.” He moved to stand between her and the other man. She took a step toward the door, then turned back.

“He didn’t do anything, Daniel. It’s okay.” The last thing she wanted was a fight between these two.

Daniel ignored her comment and spoke again to the Indian, who hadn’t moved. With hand gestures and firm words, the two men conversed. To Aimee’s relief, no one made a move to reach for their weapons. Finally, the Indian pushed his way past Daniel and left the cabin.
