Amnesia's Cowgirl Chapter 1
Ty Borden rode away from the group of Wranglers. He was searching for strays from his herd. Blue River Ranch had over 400 cattle on 100,00 acres of Northern Montana land. He watched the forest for movement and signs of cattle as he rode. He loved his land and knew it by heart. Blue River Ranch had been passed down from generations as well as its cattle. Ty kept looking not finding and cattle and made a small camp. His men knew he would be gone til late tomorrow so he didn't worry. He started a fire and fed his horse. He happened to see a black lump laying on the ground. he grabbed his rope and slowly walked up to it thinking it was a cow. When he got closer he realized it was a Horse. he knelled beside it as saw it was shot to death. Its tack was still on so Ty took it off and went through the saddlebags. Inside was everything you would need along with some money. He stood up and looked around knowing the owner of the horse must be around there somewhere. He had to look even though it was dusk. It was too dangerous to be out here without a ride because of the rustlers. Ty began to walk around with his rope, flashlight, and Shotgun. After a while he heard the rushing of water. He realized he was at Big Horn River. He always liked to watch the river at night for it glowed from the moonlight. He crouched on the cliff/bank. The river rushed about 30 feet below him and there was a small beach lining it. he looked along the beach and saw a figure laying face down in the sand. he shined his flashlight on it and gasped. he rushed down and to the person laying in the sand. He quickly realized that this must be the owner of the dead horse and rolled him out of the water. The man was alive but breathing slowly, a gun lay next to him. He had lost a lot of blood and it crusted on his skin and shirt. The man's arm had been shot and thank lord the bullet wasn't lodged in the bone. Ty sighed in relief and then picked the man up. The man was very light and curvy? Ty looked down, the man's hat had fell off letting long golden blond hair spill over his arm. Ty gasped looking at the woman in his arms. He slowly stood and hurried back to the campsite. he lay her down on his bed roll. He quickly stopped the bleeding in her arm and head. Medical school sure comes in handy Ty thought as he worked on the woman. He had gone to medical School when he was younger but realized that Ranching was the only thing he ever wanted to do. He tried to not star eat her chest or face as he worked. He realized that she had been beaten for she had bruises and scrapes on her body. Soon he had her arm in a sling and changed her shirt with the one he found in the saddle bags. Her washed her face with his hanky and pulled the blanket over her. He sat next to her and watched her face. She was about his age, late twenties and looked like she had ridden for awhile. He wondered what happened to her, why was she on his land? Who was after her and why? Ty sighed and realized that he would have to ask her when she woke, that is if she woke. He kept thinking how beautiful this woman was as he watched her. She has high cheek bones and long eyelashes. Her long blond hair lay beneath her and her bangs covered one eye. Her lips were full and soft. He hardly ever saw women out here. The only time he went into town was too sell cattle or buy cattle. there was no other woman for miles except Mrs. Dawson who cooked and cleaned for the men and him. She was in her 60's though. Ty knew that when her took her back to the lodge the men would go crazy. Ty chuckled and shook his head. Yes, his men would love to have her around until she was well enough to leave. He would have to watch out for her. He took a piece of jerky from his bag and a blanket. He lay up against tree and watched her til he fell asleep dreaming of a woman with golden blond hair
