Disclaimers: I do not own anyone except for this mysterious Yellow Wolf.

A/N: This is my third 3:10 to Yuma fic, and I hope you all enjoy it. Reviews are appreciated.

Summary: Beyond the Contention, the lives of Ben Wade, Dan Evans and his family will change forever just because one Yellow Wolf captures their hearts with the Cold Fire.

Pain resurfaced in Yellow Wolf's heart as she watched her brother sleep the slow sleep.

She could still remember when Steaming Bull brought him to their hidden camp. She thought her brother to be dead, but the Great Spirit had yet to take his life.

So she quickly told the medicine men and women to work their skills upon her brother. She with many of the children prayed and watched as her brother fought for his life.

She loved her brother deeply.

It had been many years since they last saw one another.

And she missed him so.

She strictly bade her people to leave her alone with her brother for privacy was needed.

She stroked his face and took his hand.

She pulled the gift he gave her when she was merely a child and held it with her free hand.

She hid it from her people, but she never felt like she was betraying them or her brother.

She closed her eyes and then opened them after centering herself. She looked upon her brother and smiled as she squeezed his hand.

"Our Father who art in heaven…" she quietly prayed; hoping that God would listen.

She prayed that her beloved brother would listen as well as answer to life – to live.

Wake up, my brother, wake up.
