~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I heard from the training room a few months later. I cracked up as I peaked out the door and saw 005 walking away from 007 and 006's room. Hey, it took a long time to find a new air horn!
"RUNNING WOLF! YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEAD WOLF ONCE I FIND YOU!" 007 shouted.
Then 005's eyes opened wide before running up the stairs. 007 soon ran after her. I followed them, just incase.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" 007 shouted as I got on the roof. He had turned his arm into a sword.
"Me no dead," 005 said while holding out her dagger.
"Hey, 007, um, don't you remember the tests Dr. Gilmore put us through? Even without acceleration, 005 is really, really fast," I said as 003 also came up.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"005 blew the air horn to make 007 wake up and now they're fighting," I said.
"Ah!" 005 said as 007 hit her hand. Her dagger flew out of her hand and over the edge of the Dolphin. "Dagger!" she cried.
I dove over the side of the Dolphin and turned on my jets.
After about ten minutes, I finally caught the dagger. Then I had to catch up to the Dolphin, which took an hour.
005 grabbed her dagger before hugging me.
"Ooh!" 007 and 003 chorused.
After she finished hugging me, 005 walked over to 007 and punched him in the stomach.
"Almost lost dagger!" she cried. "Dagger special, can't loose!"
"Why is it special?"
"Swift Deer made for me. Has Sitting Wolf's blessing," she said while pointing to the small, black sitting wolf on it. "Bring luck in battle."
"Sure didn't help when we fought 0010," 007 grumbled.
"No remind," 005 said while rubbing the spot where she was shot.
Then, we felt the Dolphin starting to lower.
"Oh, we better got below. Looks like we're gunna land soon," 003 said while winking at me.
"Yeah, we better," I said with a grin.
"Something in eye, Butterfly Woman?" 005 asked.
"No, come on, Running Wolf, we need to get below. I suggest changing back into your buckskin," 003 said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Everyone is acting strange. They won't tell me where we're landing! Dr. Gilmore said I should go to my room and sharpen my dagger, so that's what I'm doing now.
I heard a splash as we landed in water. Why would we land in water? Oh, so we won't be seen.I'm stupid!
"Running Wolf, time for-what is that thing?" I heard 009 ask.
"Teepee!" I said.
"In the middle of your room?" he laughed.
I nodded.
"Running Wolf, you're supposed to sleep on the bed!" he laughed.
"Bed. What that?"
He pointed to the thing in the corner.
"Bed," he said.
"Demon," I said.
"No, bed."
"Demon. Bed," I said while pointing to some blankets in my stupid looking teepee. I made it in five minutes, so it had to look stupid.
"Why is it a demon?"
"Try to eat me."
"How?"
"Big mouth!" I said while pointing halfway up the demon.
"Those are mattresses. Watch."
Then he got on the demon and stretched out.
"You know, you're lucky," he said.
"Why that?"
"You get a room all to yourself. I have to share my room with 008. 007 and 006 share a room, 004 and 002 share a room, while 001 and 003 share a room. You get all this space to yourself."
"Not alone," I said. "Never alone."
"Oh? How's that?"
"Spirits everywhere. Spirits of tribe protect dreams when Creator paint sky black with stars. Spirit of Swift Deer help hunt, spirit of Sitting Wolf help with cooking and cloth making. Don't know what spirit help me get clothes yesterday."
009 laughed.
"009! 005! Come on! We're leaving to go explore soon!" we hear 008 call.
We left the room.
"You're gunna love this, 005," 006 said while guiding me. For some reason, the others had blindfolded me.
"Not in China, are we?" I asked.
"No, why do you ask?" 006 asked.
"Food too spicy and hard names."
"Ha!" 004 laughed. "See? I'm not the only one who wants something pronounceable!"
Then, we stopped walking.
"Get on your knees," 006 said.
I did as I was told and he took off the blindfold. I instantly started following some deer tracks.
"Not that way!" 004 cried while stopping me. "That way," he said while pointing east. "Follow those tracks!"
I looked at the ground and saw ancient footprints.
"Old tracks, very old," I said while following them.
More than once I had to look around to find the trail again.
'Huh? More footprints heading in he same and opposite directions!' I thought. 'The trail is getting bigger.'
I stood up and closed my eyes.
"What's she-" 002 broke off.
"Shh! She's listening!" 007 said.
Wind picked up and I listened carefully.
'Welcome home, Running Wolf,' the wind whispered to me.
I got flat on my stomach on the ground and listened to the earth.
'Welcome back,' it said in its deep voice.
I got up and started running through the trees.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" 007 shouted as I heard them running after me.
I stopped after around twenty minutes. I was in the middle of my village. Nothing had changed-nothing at all. Everything was right where I left it, even the blanket I was working on before I got taken away was the same.
"How-can-she-be-so-fast?" 009 panted when the others finally stopped.
"Yeah-she's-not-even-out-of-breath," 002 panted.
"She-know-the-land," 003 panted.
I walked to the long house, where the chiefs lived and where ceremonies were held. Unlike the other princesses, I had refused to live in the long house. I wished to live in a teepee, so I was allowed to. Anyway, I walked over to a shelf and found my headdress. It wasn't as long as my father's but it reached down to about my waist. I put it back on the shelf before picking up a blanket that had an eagle on it.
I took it outside.
"What's that?" 002 asked.
"Eagle blanket!" I said. "Belong to chief." I unfolded it so they could see.
"Hey, 002, it has your beak," 004 said.
"I DO NOT HAVE A BEAK!"
"Eagle Face should be thankful for face. Great Eagle gave you blessing! Now, go make fire. I bring dinner!"
Then I ran off to hunt some deer.
"I back!" I called two hours later.
"Two whole elk!" 004 said as he saw the elk on my shoulders.
"Are you using your normal strength?" 003 asked.
"I don't know how get super strength work, so yes!"
"That's gotta be at least seven hundred pounds!" 008 said as I set them down a ways from the fire.
I pulled out my dagger and began skinning them.
"Ew, ew, ew!" 006 said as the insides spilled out.
"Bring jar," I said. 003 brought me a jar and I put the insides in the jar.
Then, she let out a little cry as wolves entered the village.
"No scary! Pets!" I said while petting one. "Sun Pack. Belonged to me. Recognize them!" I laughed as the leader licked my face.
"Okay." 002 said.
Then, a female set a cub in his lap.
"Uh."
"Play with it!" I said. "Female won't hurt you. Think we're tribe!"
He started playing with the cub. Soon, everyone was playing with all the cubs, save me; I was busy cutting up the meat. Then, one cub thought my braid was a chew toy!
"Running Wolf's a chew toy!" 004 laughed.
"Guy, look at this!" 003 said.
We turned around and saw 001 sleeping with five cubs.
"Awe!" I said.
"Make dinner!" 007 said.
"You no chief! Wait!" I said.
"Then who am I?"
"Shape Shifter."
"Who am I?" 004 asked.
"Um." I thought for a few minutes. Then I listened to the wind.
'Sea Eyes.'
"Sea Eyes," I repeated.
"What about me?" 006 asked.
'Flaming Water.'
"Flaming Water."
"My name?" 008 asked.
'Swift Fish.'
"Swift Fish."
"And my name?" 009 asked.
'Butterfly Man.'
I smirked. "Butterfly Man. Matches Butterfly Woman."
003 blushed.
"001 is Wise Child. Dr. Gilmore.he's.um."
'Wise Man. Eagle Face will be chief.'
"Why Eagle Face?" I asked the spirit of the wind.
'He's been blessed with the spirit of the Great Eagle. He will be Chief.'
"If that is your wish, Great Wind Spirit."
"Great Wind Spirit say Dr. Gilmore is Wise Man. Also say Eagle Face will be Chief because Great Eagle blessed him," I told the others.
"Chief Eagle Face.nice ring," 002 said.
Soon, I finished cutting up the meat and was cooking it. I had showed 003 how to clean the skin to make clothes. She was still a little squeamish, though.
As they ate, I was getting the skin ready to make into clothes.
"Usually Little River do this," I muttered. "But now I learn."
"Who's Little River?" 003 asked.
"Husband," I said.
002 and 004 began coughing.
"YOU WERE MARRIED?" they cried.
"Well, not really. Never had ceremony before war."
"No kids, right?" 004 said.
"Only ten suns passed since his birth."
"What?"
"Men pick wife, no matter age, Just as long as they aren't already taken. Little River picked me."
"Okay, since men pick wife, Eagle Face gets Running Wolf!" everyone but 002 and me cried.
"WHAT?" 002 cried.
"Now I must marry him," I groaned.
"What?" everyone asked.
"Tribe helps pick chief's wife. They agree on one woman, chief marries her.
"Ha! 002 and 005 are getting married!" 007 laughed.
I set down my knife and walked over to the others. Then I hit 007 on the head. In returned, he pushed me into 002.
"Good job, 007," 004 said.
"Hi, could ya get off of me?" 002 said.
I did the exact opposite.
"Hi," I said while placing a finger on his chin.
"You know, if you don't get off of me, I'll be forced to kiss you," he said.
I thought for a moment.
"Is that a t-" I broke off. 002 had kissed me.
"Me strong chief, you sexy wife," he said.
"Sexy?"
"Really, really pretty," 003 giggled.
"Oh. You no strong!" I giggled while poking him in the stomach. "You weak!"
"Ooh! Their first argument!" 009 laughed.
"I thought chiefs were supposed to have those huge headdresses and smoke peace pipes?" 002 asked.
"You no smoke!" I said while getting up. I went and got the chief's headdress. I set it on his head. I had to make his hair flat, though.
"What's you cheer?" he asked.
"You no do it. Too hard."
"Try me."
I called out the Tsimshain tribe's call at the top of my voice.
"Do that again!" 006 said.
I shook my head.
"I go for walk. Be back before dawn."
Then I left.
