Disclaimer: I don't own anything about into the west I only own Rebecca and others

Hey guys ok here's what's going on I don't speak Lakota so the words that are spoken in Lakota will be in Bold. The story is starting while Red Lance and White Crow aren't riding with Red Cloud any more this story takes place a year or so before Custer's Last Stand so that would make Red Lance around the age of 16 I think. Also I do not believe any of the things that Rebecca believes in the beginning of the story. So enjoy and leave me feedback.

I know I ahvent updated in forver and I'm super sorry hope you like this.

Chapter2

They had been riding for hours with only stopping to water the horses. They hadn't even stopped to eat. It was nearly dark and Rebecca's eyes were starting to close from drowsiness. When the man pulled the horse to a stop. He jumped down and grabbed her around the waist and set her none to gently on the ground and went to start making camp. Twenty minutes later they had a fire going and the man she guessed was getting ready to go hunting.

Red Lance looked at the girl as she looked at him. He had thought his idea for bringing her to help his people was a good one. True when he had first seen her he thought she was beautiful and that was half the reason why he chose to bring her but the full reason was to help his tribe. Now he was stuck having to bring her back. He new that he needed to go hunting for there dinner but he couldn't bring her along with him she would get in the way. So he decided to take a chance and let her stay on her own. But he had another problem how was he going to communicate to her? He new the basics of the English language he had to learn a part of it while he was riding with Red Cloud's clan. He knew how to say his name and a few other words. He thought that he would take a shot and see if she spoke his language.

"I am going to go hunting you will stay here and get the rest of camp ready." Red Lance told her he sighed as the girl looked blankly at him. So he tried to repeat himself and he got the same look again. So he grabbed her by the arm and pointed down at the ground and put his hand up to say stay. Rebecca looked at him questioningly again.

"I don't understand. Do you want me to stay?" This time Rebecca got the confused look from Red Lance.

So she tried what he did earlier. She put her hand up and said, "stay"

Red lance copied what she did and then repeated the word stay. Rebecca nodded her head that she understood and that he was correct. The man grabbed his gun and swung onto the back of his horse and rode off. He left Rebecca by herself she wondered now if she should run but run where? She had no idea where she was or how far away she was from the nearest fort and the man hadn't tried anything yet. But if she were to believe her father and his men then he would rape her or worse at any chance he would get. But her instincts told her she had nothing to worry about yet.

She set out to make the fire stronger she decided against looking in the bags on the horse incase the man came back. The man her thoughts kept going back to him he was taking her god knows where. He had taken her away from her family but she still couldn't help think that she could trust him. His dark eyes and the way they looked at her and his powerful arms and body. She couldn't help but blush at those thoughts a lady that had been brought up by her standards shouldn't be thinking of men like that especially an Indian man that could kill her if he wished. But still the thoughts lingered.

A hour later she heard the sound of hoof beats she looked up in time to see the man coming back with a deer slung over the back of his horse. He looked slightly shocked to see her still there but not overly so. She guessed that he figured that she had no idea where she was and he was right. He got off his horse and pulled off the deer and started cutting it apart. Soon they were done eating and sitting there in silence looking at the fire.

Red Lance looked over at the girl and saw that she was shaking from the cold. He got up off the ground at pulled a blanket out of one of the bags on the horse and walked over to the young girl. Fifteen that's how old he guessed she was. Her long brown hair was blowing in the wind and her blue eyes stared blankly at the fire. There was sadness and a little fear in them. He crouched down next to her and she flinched as he touched her. Her eyes shot to his. He held his hands up to show her the blanket that he held and wrapped it around her small figure.

She murmured thank you to him and he smiled at her as if he understood which she doubted he did. She wanted to know his name.

"Rebecca." She said while pointing at herself. "Rebecca." She repeated and pointed at herself again.

He nodded his head and pointed at her and said "Rebecca." Then he pointed at himself and said "Red Lance."

Rebecca pointed at him and repeated "Red Lance." With a smile on her face.
