Chapter 7: The Road To Emerald Tribe

Sun-nic the 2nd, Deputy Tommy Two-Tailed, and Abigail Daisy were finally beginning the trip to Emerald Tribe. It took an hour just to say goodbye.

"Now remember to stay on the trail." Sammy said.

"We know." Sun-nic, Tommy, and Abby said.

"Don't talk to strangers." Ruth said.

"We know." The trio said getting annoyed.

"Stay out of trouble." Shawn said.

"WE KNOW!" The trio shouted. Sammy, Shawn, and Ruth stayed silent. The trio were about to leave when Becky came running and yelling "Wait!" "What?!" The trio said.

"Abby, don't forget this." Becky said while giving her a necklace that had a shell in the middle.

"Thank you." Abby said, "I can't believe you found it."

"Why is she so happy about that necklace?" Sun-nic thought as Abby was putting her necklace on.

Becky turned to Sun-nic and said very sternly, "Now don't do any funny business with Abby." Sun-nic and Abby instantly turned red.

"Don't worry, I won't." Sun-nic said. Abby was too embarrassed to say anything.

As they said there last goodbyes, the trio finally left Green Hill Town. Sun-nic was on his white Arabian, Racer, Abby was on her black Clydesdale, Twilight, and Tommy was on his chestnut Quarter horse, Captain. When they were about 10 miles away, Sun-nic asked Abby about her necklace. Abby was about answer when Tommy rudely interrupted and asked Sun-nic, "Didn't you know that Abby is part Indian?"

"Really?" Sun-nic asked.

"Yeah really." Abby replied.

"Abby, can you tell us your story?" Tommy asked.

"Sure, but when we camp out for the night." Abby said.

"Fine by me." Sun-nic said, but he was really anxious to her story.

When they were done setting out their sleeping bags, started a fire, and tied up they're horses to a tree, Abby decided to tell her story.

"Okay, when I was very little my mother told me that my father was a pioneer and he left her long before she realized she was expecting me." Abby said, "The chief found out this, and almost banished her from the tribe, but luckily the Shawoman stopped him and told him that she saw great things in me. When I was born they named me Mustang Master and I was very happy with that. The first few years were the best of my life, but then strange diseases came that the Shawoman couldn't cure. My mother caught one of the diseases and died." Abby had tears rolling down her eyes. "But right before she died, she gave me this necklace." Abby said pointing to it, "After that the Shawoman took care of me."

"Why did you leave?" Sun-nic asked.

"Well, a few years ago I had a vision that I had something better outside of the tribe." Abby said, "So I left. The chief didn't like that to much though. He told me to never come back."

"What will happen if he sees you know?" Tommy asked.

"I'm not sure, but hopefully nothing horrible." Abby said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Abby. If anything happens I'll save you." Sun-nic said.

Abby smiled and said, "Thanks Sun-nic."

"Hey Abby, it's twilight again." Tommy said.

"Yep." Abby said.

Sun-nic had a questioning look on his face, "What's so special about twilight?"

"This the time of day when I caught my first mustang, Twilight." Abby replied.

"Who taught you to catch mustangs?" Sun-nic asked.

"The chief's wife taught me." Abby said.

"Abby, you never told me what happened to her." Tommy said.

It took Abby a minute before saying, "She died trying to save the other members of the tribe from Edgar the Kid."

"That's horrible." Tommy said.

"I feel horrible for it." Abby said sadly.

"Why?" Sun-nic said.

Abby looked at Sun-nic as if she was going to cry, "If I didn't leave she wouldn't be dead."

"Abby, even if you were there you probably couldn't stop that." Sun-nic said.

"I would have taken the bullet." Abby said crying.

"I would have too, but we can't live in the past." Sun-nic said, "We learn from our past and face the future."

Abby stopped crying and said, "You're right City Boy. I'll face the chief and the tribe and hope they can forgive me. You sound like the Shawoman."

"I just know what to say." Sun-nic said.

"Ah, not to break up the happy moment, but we need sleep for tomorrow." Tommy said.

"You're right, Tommy." Abby said, "Goodnight boys."

"Goodnight Abby." Sun-nic and Tommy said at the same time.

"Tomorrow is going to be on crazy day." Tommy said as fell asleep.

"Yeah, one crazy day." Sun-nic said closing his eyes.
