Cave Dwellers ch 2 The Dangerous Strangers
Chief Kingofmanyfeathers looked down from his perch in the tree. He saw men arriving on strange creatures that they called horses. Instantly he knew who these men were, they were the dangerous men he had heard about. He knew it was too late to warn his tribe, he had condemned them all to death. They were all carrying strange items that appeared to be made of wood and some shinny material. The item frightens him for he does not know what it is. The strangers begin to walk towards are village and he does nothing, frozen with shock.
He hears a scream that wakes him from his shock. Quickly he jumped down and ran towards the village. Lying on the ground was Dancingspringtime, bleeding from a strange wound on her stomach. Chief Kingofmanyfeathers knew not what to do. He had never encountered a problem like this before. Rapidly he approached the one who appeared to be in charge. "What business do you have he?" He asked of them. None replied, they looked at him as though he were crazy. Then, he understood. They did not speak his language and would not understand him. He sighed in defeat realizing there was nothing to do. He watched as they killed all his strongest men and left only the women and children alive.
