Monstrasio was furious, they had come up with nothing! Every teepee had been ransacked, all blackfeathers stood in their line as they had been asked and nothing had showed up! No Eifreen, no items that could hint of the Scarlet Fox no nothing.

"Where is he?!" Monstrasio barged. "WHERE IS THE STORY TELLER!"

Ugata crossed his arms. "You had your search." he informed. "As you can see we aren't hiding anyone. Leave us at peace." he demanded.

At that Monstrasios eyes narrowed. "Well, just to make entirely sure." he said and grabbed a child putting his gun towards the childs tendril. "If the Story teller or the Scarlet Fox is not handed over this child will die." he stated. "Speak up." he demanded.

"THEY ARE NOT HERE!" A woman screamed, probably the mother.

"Well, if the child is dead in ten seconds I will be sure." Monstrasio commented. "ten" he began. "Nine, eight."

The people squirmed and then started to plead.

"They are not here!" "Please!"

"Six… Five…" then suddenly a stone was being thrown and hit Monstrasios hand forcing him to drop the gun wide-eyed he looked up. "Who did that?" he asked.

"Geesh you really are a pain aren't you?" A voice sounded and they all looked up, up towards the cliff were a woman dressed in red with seemingly scarlet red hair stood swinging a sling loaded with a rock in her hand.

The Akapaki all gasped and started to speak and mumble in their own langue.

Monstrasio however smirked. "So you were here after-all." he commented. "You must be part of this tribe then."

"I'm not part of any tribe." Scarlet returned amused. "It's just not my style." she commented.

"It doesn't matter, you just gave yourself away." Monstrasio said then shouted. "SHOOT HER!"

And Scarlet ducked right behind one of the big rocks where she would be safe from all the bullets.

"What's wrong little fox? Afraid to be hurt?" Monstrasio asked in a sadistic grin.

"Njah, i'm just thinking the horses must be startled from all this shooting." Scarlet commented. "No wait silly me! They are military horses shootings wouldn't startle them, but perhaps a stone hitting their rear." she stated as she stood up and then flung her stone with the sling so it hit the rear of one of the horses standing together and it let out a giant neight disturbing all the horses as well.

"DUMAS!" Garzia shouted as he ran for his horse, a brown stallion that was neighing and jumping as Garzia managed to grab his reigns. "Easy boy! Easy Dumas!"

Monstrasio looked around, looking for his white stallion. Yet suddenly he realized that the horse was gone from its spot, then he put his fingers into his mouth to let out a grand whistle but no horse returned to him.

"This sure is a nice horse what is his name?" Scarlets voice asked and wide-eyed Monstrasio looked up to realize that the scarlet fox herself was sitting on his horse! The proud white stallion.

Monstrasio turned white by the sight. "Caleb." he breathed then his face turned read. "That's my horse!"

"Caleb? Good strong name." Scarlet smirked. "Can I keep him?"

"NO!" Monstrasio shouted now read in the head.

"Aww that's to bad, well I guess i'll just borrow him for a while. Ciao!" Scarlet grinned and turned the horse around.

"AFTER HER!" Monstrasio screamed. "BUT DON'T SHOOT MY HORSE!"

And Garzia groaned but was wise enough to not point out that capturing that lady right now was highly unlikely, especially now they couldn't shoot at her. But he grabbed the saddle of his horse and gestured with his hand. "Spread out! Surround the area and see if you can cut her off!" he demanded and kicked his horse.

In the other direction was a coach rolling across the roads as fast as was allowed, but soon their luck ran out as soldiers came their way. "HALT!" a soldier yelled and Bernadette slowed down, then she knocked at the coach behind her, four times.

Then the soldiers approached. "We have to inspect this coach." the soldier in front said.

Bernadette however lifted a hand and shushed them, indicating them to be quiet and the soldiers blinked looking confused at each other. Then Bernadette jumped down and opened the door to the coach but just a bit as to allow them a peak.

And a soldier looked in then he blinked. "Oh I apologies." he said and stepped back.

"What is it?" Another soldier asked.

"It's a lady, she's sleeping." The first soldier whispered. "White dress a golden cross, isn't that what lady Pulido always wears?"

"We were told to look out for her, she's out praying for the land." Another nodded.

"Well, it was only her in there. Let her through." The first soldier nodded and Bernadette nodded as she climbed back up on the drivers seat and continued their travel. She rode down the roads and then turned to the left so the coach vanished in between the cliffs and they stopped, there for a while they stood still until a figure dressed in red came running and jumped into the coach.

And there the woman in red said opposite a person dressed in a white dress, and a broad brimmed white hat that had covered his entire face and he now looked up to reveal himself to be an old story teller, whom had merely placed himself in a way so the hat and blanket had covered his appearance.

"Hey, that doesn't look half bad on you." Scarlet grinned.

Slowly Eifreen took off the hat as he looked at the red clad woman. "So this is how it all connects." he commented. "That night, it was you. Angelina."

And Angelina took off her own hat and the mask looking back at Eifreen. "If you think I was just going to let them hang you."

Eifreen exhaled deeply. "This is a dangerous game you are playing Angelina." he commented."You truly are very skilled warrior, but even the most skilled warrior will one day be standing by the edge."

"The Captain can not be allowed to go unopposed." Angelina then replied. "Maybe this can show people that he is not untouchable, maybe it'll help people realize that they can stand up to him! This land does not belong to him, we need to take it back."

"Are you suggesting an uprising?" Eifreen asked.

"I don't know." Angelina admitted. "I just know that the Captain thinks he has full authority, but he doesn't. I need to show the people that. I wont let more family members be hurt just because I weren't there!"

Defeated Eifreen looked at Angelina. "You have the worst aspects of both your father and mother in you." he commented. "They met on the battlefield you know. Stories say they fought each other for a full day before they both finally fell together from exhaustion."

Angelina smiled warmly. "Then mothers tribe came and took my father prisoner, however they didn't treat him badly at all. They treated his wounds, offered him good food and willingly handed him over to his regiment when they came for him. He should have died that day, but he fell in love instead."

"In love with the land." Eifreen nodded. "He was a strong and stubborn young man back then, filled with pride and arrogance. But he had the ability to see, see the beauty of the land even if it was just a war zone back then. And your mother, just as filled with pride as he was. It was like two burning flames had met to make a big fire." he commented glancing at Angelina. "I wonder, are you that fire?" he asked.

Angelina was silent as she sat there then she turned her head. "We have to drop you off a place where you can hide for a while." she said. "Then I have to return home quick as possible."

Eifreen nodded then glanced at her. "Does your father know?" he asked.

"No." Angelina replied quietly. "Neither does Lolita… I'm afraid father would get a heart attack if he knew, they would both try to stop me. Perhaps even do something they'll regret."

Eifreen sighed deeply. "Your father has been through a lot." he said. "He is not the man he ones were."

"I know." Angelina admitted as she hung her head. "I want to help him, I hope I can." she said.

It was with a defeated heart that Garzia returned to the blackfeather tribe pulling a white stallion with him towards the awaiting Captain whom looked angry at him. "The fox?" he asked.

"I'm sorry sir, she jumped off the horse and went were we couldn't follow." Garzia admitted.

Monstrasio hissed annoyed as he grabbed the reigns and crawled up on the horse then glared at Garzia. "Keep ten men with you, hide in the bush's around this camp until midnight. At that time attack the camp and capture all the woman, if anyone tries to escape shoot them. Bring the captured women to the city."

Garzia looked at Monstrasio. "I don't think the Scarlet Fox is a blackfeather." he admitted.

"I don't care." Monstrasio hissed. "If she is, she is going to be hanged with the rest. If she isn't their hanging will be the perfect trap. Now get to it." he demanded as he turned his horse around and rode away making Garzia sigh deeply.

This was going to be a loooong night.
