After we got back, we got the warnings of settlers from Father, and for the next day, it was hectic with Father talking with the elders and senior warriors, and the village worried. Anyway, that night, everything eventually calmed down, I took the chance to sneak out while Poca was sleeping deeply, probably dreaming of the memories with John Smith. She was distracted all day, daydreaming and everything. On the way out, I got to notice a sweet, romantic moment of Nakoma and Kocoum. They looked so peaceful and happy. At least, the first obstacle is over. Next, I got to meet and convince Thomas in some way.

I had Jicel with me, and she somewhat understood what I was doing in her point of view. Soon enough with my mental map, I finally got to the boundaries of Jamestown. I saw that the fort was half built, and I hid in the bushes near the trees. I searched for any glimpse of yellow or red, then I saw John walking out of his tent, carrying a lantern. He looked sort of sad, and lonely. Well, there he is. Now, to get his attention. I picked up rather medium-sized rocks to throw against the wood stands to grab John's attention. So I did, John heard the sounds, and came closer to the tree line. I then whistled, soft at first, then louder. John then came closer, closer to my hiding spot. I watched for any other people, and then whispered loudly.

"Psst, John. It's me, KImi. Come here.". I frantically said. John turned toward my voice, and he looked shocked as I pulled him into the bushes, a tiny gasp out of him.

John harshly whispered, "Kimi, you should not be here. It's dangerous for you here!". I snorted, and sternly told him that I know where Poca is. John widened his eyes, and asked for his favor. I told him to bring Thomas along, when morning reaches the shore, then go to the stepping stone waterfalls as I get Poca. John understood, and promised to bring out his favor throughout. I nodded, and pushed him out of the bushes, loudly grabbing a person's attention. I quickly hid deeper, and watched as the person is revealed to be Thomas.

"John, what are you doing out here? It's late." asked Thomas. He still has his clothes on, and he clutched his gun in his hands.

"Oh, you should watch yourself, Thomas. You almost scared me there. I couldn't sleep, and figured for a walk to clear my head some.". replied John. Thomas slightly nodded, and continued to talk with John as they left the bushes and ahead to their tents in the fort. I let go of a big breath that I didn't know that I was holding in. I heard Jicel whine to me, and I steadily left the bushes, heading deeper into the forest, and heading back to my village with Jicel following along.

I sneaked in along the fence, and crepted into the longhouse where Father, Poca was sleeping. I headed into my bed, went to sleep, as Jicel laid down by me, going to dreamland as well. I knew Poca wakes up with the sun, and I will tell her of my journey this past night. At least, no one except John saw me tonight.

Sure enough, by dawn, Poca woke up. I was a bit awake before her, and began to get up and cook breakfast as it was my turn this morning. Father already left, presumably going to talk with Kekata or something. I steadily told her everything, and she was a bit upset at first, then happy when she heard that John is coming on the way. She thanked me by hugging me around the arms, and I smiled at the graciousness she had. We ate breakfast, and Jicel woke up then, and she came along . We encountered Father, and told him that we are going to be on the river for the day. He told us to be careful and to have fun. We told him that we will, and went to our canoes. Jicel cantered by on the shore as we rowed in the river to the stepping stone waterfalls. On the way, we were surprised by Meeko and Flit's entrances into our canoes. Meeko was in my canoe as Filt sat on Poca's shoulder. I hope John and Thomas will be there in time when we get there. I wonder how Thomas will react.
