I searched her whole night but there was no sign of her. I walked into her village. I meet Nakoma at the entrance. She gave me a cordial smile 'Searching for Pocahontas?' 'Yes' I nodded. She took me near a tepee where I found her sobbing on her bed.

'Pocahontas.' I walked inside & placed my hand on her shoulder 'Please forgive me.'

But she moved my hand away 'Go away John. I don't want to see you.' 'Please, look at me.' I cupped her face to meet her eyes. But she didn't look at me. 'Please darling!' I tried to apologize but she freed herself from my grip & ran away from the room. 'Pocahontas' I tried to follow her but she vanished into the woods. I sat on the ground. I was hungry & tired. From last night I hadn't eaten anything & I felt very tired. I buried my face in my knees. I was startled by a soft hand on my shoulder. I turned to find Powatan. He gave me a fatherly smile 'Pregnant woman! Don't take it otherwise, son.' I stood up to meet him. His smile melted my worries. She was just over emotional. Oh, I should deal with her more gently. 'Let's eat son.' Powatan said. 'No, father.' I smiled 'I'll eat with her.' 'Alright' he walked away.

I knew where she was. The only place could give her peace- grandmother Willow. I walked along the forest paths thinking about the last night. I never thought Rolfe could be so mean. He killed my father for the title. Now he was planning to kill me & Pocahontas to clear his way!

I reached the glade where we once shared our first kiss. I could see the back of an lonely woman sitting alone beneath the tree. She was so lonely. I knew she was my Pocahontas. I walked near her to touch her shoulder. 'I'm sorry.' I whispered. She raised her tear stained face to meet me. I sat beside her. 'I love you.' She whispered back 'I should remember that Rebecca is your friend.' 'It's nothing, dear.' I kissed her forehead with great love. 'Can you forgive me now?' I smiled.

She didn't say anything but tiled her head to meet my lips. My eyes were closing instinctively to feel the coming kiss. But suddenly I noticed something...

It was Rolfe who was aiming his pistol to my Pocahontas & his finger was about to press the trigger. 'Pocahontas, look out!' I threw her out of the way.

The next moment I found myself lying on the ground with a sharp pain in my side.

'John!' Pocahontas ran beside me. I could see the pure fear in her eyes. My hands were clutching my wounds. My vision was becoming hazy. I saw Rolfe was walking near me. I could hear his maniacal laughter 'Fools. Last night I followed my sister & I waited here to get you together. Now I've my chance.'

Pocahontas ran towards him & grabbed his collar tightly 'You monster, you hurt my John.' 'Oh, dear' Rolfe shook his head slowly pulling her closer 'Then Lady Pocahontas marry me because your husband Lord John Smith is dying.'

'I'll not marry you.' She spat on his face. I could feel my life blood was running out of my body. I couldn't breath or see anything clearly. But among the haziness I could see Rolfe's Pistol was pressed against Pocahontas's gut. Although Pocahontas was trying hard to free herself but Rolfe was much stronger than her. I pulled my sore body on the ground- half crawling & with my free hand & bit his leg with all my might. 'Ow' he screamed & the bullet missed the target.

The next moment Rolfe fell on the ground, motionless. Rebecca was standing at a distance with a smoking pistol in her hand. I didn't know where she had came from but I guessed that she had followed us too.

I was lying on the ground, too weak to hold my wounds. My breathing was labored & my blood had stained the green grass dark red. Pocahontas ran beside me to take my head on her lap. She took my hand & pressed it on her cheek. Rebecca was trying to stop my blood flow. Her eyes were full of tears too. 'Thank you Rebecca.' I tried to smile. She said nothing but her tears were soaking her dress. 'No, John' Pocahontas buried her face in my palm 'Don't leave me John.' I could see her tears running along her copper cheeks. A side of her cheek was stained with my blood from my bloody palm. 'I'm sorry. Please forgive me.' I tried to smile weakly.

'I'll always forgive you.' I could hear her broken voice. I smiled to hear the words. My world was becoming darker & darker. I could feel my strength was leaving me. The world was disappearing from my sight.

At last everything lost into endless darkness.
