Chapter 25

Ty and Amy were all smiles the next morning at breakfast. Ty went to take care of the horses while Amy went to get her things together. Victor was heading out the door when a FedEx truck pulled into the yard. Amy hearing a truck, walked out to see who it was. Once she saw it was a FedEx truck she knew it was the letter and box from Essie. Victor signed for them and walked over to the porch to give the package to Amy who hadn't moved. Ty hears the truck leave and sees Victor give the package to Amy. He decides stands at the barn door and watch.

Amy seemed to look down at the package in her hand for the longest time. She then walks to the end of the porch and sits down, her back is to Ty. Ty decides to get some more coffee and heads to the house. He is hoping for Amy's sake that what ever is in that letter and box doesn't cause Amy anymore harm. He was to soon find out that wasn't going to be the case.

Not a minute later Amy came flying into the house running to the bathroom slamming the door behind her. The next thing Ty heard was Amy throwing up in the toilet. Amy on her way to the bathroom had dropped the letter from Essie. Ty found it outside the bathroom door wrinkled up. He straightens it out and reads it.

Victors comes in to see how things were and finds Ty standing outside the bathroom door with tears streaming down his cheeks. He can also hear Amy crying and the smell of fresh vomit was present. "Ty what is wrong here?" Victor asks.

"I can't tell you Victor. Amy is going to have to tell you. I'm not saying." Ty tells him and walks out of the house.

Victor taps on the bathroom door, "Amy are you okay?"

After a few minutes he hears water running in the sink and Amy told him she'd be right out. She was still teary eyed as she came out. "Victor my body and my spirit have been violated. I need them to be cleansed as soon as I can. Please Victor I need this." Amy cried as she asked.

Victor replies, "I'll start the fire right now. What I will need for you to do is drink plenty of water and meet me in my medicine room in about 15 minutes."

"Okay. Do you know where Ty is?" Amy asked

Victor pointed outside and Amy went to find him. Ty was sitting on the ground leaning against a fence post when Amy came out the front door. They both saw each other at the same time. Ty got up and ran toward Amy and she did the same toward Ty. When they met, their hug was a comfort to them both, no words were said the tears from each one, said enough.

When they did part Amy told Ty about the cleanse that Victor was going to do for her and she asked Ty if he would be part of it and he said yes. They walked to the barn hand in hand. Ty pulled out the letter from his back pocket and handed it to Amy. "Did you read all of it Amy?"

Amy turns to Ty, "No I didn't and I'm not sure if I want to."

"I think you should. It will explain what is in the package It also explains how Essie got hold of whats in there. I believe if you don't read it all then your spirit can't be fully cleansed." Ty explained

As the two walked into Victor's medicine room he looked at Amy, "I over heard what your man Ty was telling you and I have to agree with him Amy. It is important that you have everything out in the open if you understand my meaning. Now here this is for you." as he hand Amy her herbs mixed in honey. "Ty this is for you. You also need a cleanse." He hands Ty his herbs. "The lodge will be ready in a little over an hour from now. I suggest you read your letter and decide what to do with what ever is in that small package and drink plenty of water."

Ty went to get them each a couple of bottles of water while Amy went and sat on the porch were she had left the small package. She started reading before Ty had gotten there and was feeling sick to her stomach again but had it read without having to run to the bathroom again. When Ty did get there he offered her a sports drink but took the water instead. They each took their herbs and were silent.

"I read the rest of the letter Ty as you were getting the water. Do you want to read it now?" Amy asked.

"I read most of it. I sure would like to say no but I know I need to for you and for me." Ty said as he took the letter from Amy.

Amy could see the difficulty Ty was having. Tears were forming in both their eyes. As Ty finished he cleared his throat to speak but words wouldn't come out. The anger he used to know as a child came flooding over him. He stood and let out a scream that a Comanche Warrior would have been fearful of. He then fell to his knees and wept like a child. Amy had never seen Ty like this. She knelt beside him and held him.

Victor hearing Ty's warrior like cry, came over to see if there was anything he could do. Amy hearing someone walk up looks up to see Victor. "Victor would it be okay if we burn the letter and the contents of the package in the fire that is heating our cleansing rocks?"

"Yes. It would be very good." Victor tell her and walks away.

Ty gains his composure and apologizes to Amy for loosing his cool. "I don't know what had gotten over me. When I read that damn letter I got visions of Wade violating my mother and the thought of that bastard standing over you in your sleep and masturbating himself is more than I could take. I had to let the pressure out somehow."

"Oh Ty, you have nothing to apologizes for. I'm the one who was deceived by the two of them. Everyone of his own team and their families were deceived by Ahmed for a lot longer than I was. I really don't want to remember any of this any more. And just so you know I will not be going back to France for any reason unless you are there with me. I will have Lisa or her Detective friend get the cloths and jewelry and sell it all. Lisa can sell the horses for me and I'd give that to some Child Abuse Foundation in Paris. I don't even want the money he paid me for Zeus I'll give that away also. I know Ty it won't be easy for me and for you to forget want happened but lets do our best to forget and forgive. Okay?"

Ty pulls her in for a passionate kiss. When they separated Ty says, "Come on,lets go burn that trash."
