Chapter 10
Nakoma giggled as Cocoum chased after her through the cornfields. It had been years since the two had played their games. Suddenly Nakoma noticed that she couldn't hear Cocoum's loud footsteps behind her and stopped and turned to see where he was. There was no one to be seen and Nakoma strained her eyes against the dark.
"Cocoum?" she called out hesitantly and then from out of nowhere Cocoum leaped at her tackling her gently to the ground. Nakoma laughed as Cocoum fell on top of her but made no move to get off her.
"I tire of these games Nakoma," Cocoum said bending his head, his lips searching for hers and Nakoma was shocked when he kissed her passionately. Nakoma pushed him away from her angrily getting to her feet and Cocoum did so too.
"Cocoum, you have no right to try and take my favours from me when we are not yet wed," Nakoma lectured him, her face blushed.
"But we will be," he reminded hr surely and Nakoma stopped to look at him, her face sad.
"Will we? If you and Pocahontas..." Nakoma let the words fade and Cocoum pulled her to him.
"I will make her see, hopefully John has told her what you told me and thus it shall be very easy to help her change her mind," Cocoum pulled away to look Nakoma deeply in the eyes, "I will rule this village as you foretold, and I will not allow anyone to stand in my way, not Chief Powhatan and not Pocahontas."
"Then you know what you must do," Nakoma said and Cocoum nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I shall finish this off tonight, starting with Chief Powhatan, once we are done, none will dispute my leadership, or my marriage to you," Cocoum promised and Nakoma gave into the heated kiss loosing herself in the moment.
Pocahontas gasped at Cocoum's words. What did he mean, once he was done with her father? Did he mean to kill Powhatan? Surely then none would dare rise against him. Pocahontas backed away from the scene and pursed her lips thinking. Were Nakoma and Cocoum plotting to kill my father? Pocahontas thought to herself weighing the possibilities. She had not heard the whole conversation but it certainly seemed viable. Pocahontas shivered as she suddenly began to worry about her father's safety and her own. Looking back over her shoulder she saw Cocoum had his bow and was striding to her father's longhouse. NO, I must stop- this! She decided running to intercept him.
