Sorry this took so long to get up! It might be a while till i can post chapter 3 but ill try. And yes, i know, its short. And im no writer thats for sure! And this again is in no way edited! Please let me know what you think! Enjoy! We rode hard all day. We finally stopped when we reached Alcurt Falls. We will ride about 20 miles out of town tomorrow, but for now we will rest. I still didn't believe Jack was dead, he couldn't be. I would know if he was.

I had a dream the night before of our wedding, wishing I could go back, then I was hit with the day Jack told me he had to leave for 2 months. My heart dropped, but I was relived when he said there was no danger, till now. Now, I lay here, on the cold, hard ground with Abigail slumbering next to me, praying I'm not wrong about jack being alive.

The men who accompanied us were, Bill Avery, he was the first to volunteer, Lee Coulter, and Carson Shepherd, who came in case we would need a doctor. I thank God that they were willing to come. I would have gone even if no one else came with me.

Morning came early for all of us, except me. I didn't sleep. How could I? Jack was out there, somewhere, possibly hurt, and I'm not with him.

It hurt, he couldn't move. His whole body was in complete agony. He laid on the cold hard ground, surrounded by wet leaves. He was in the middle of nowhere. His men. Where were his men? Oh, yeah, they were dead. He was the only one surviving, for now. Was anyone looking for him? Maybe, but probably not. How long has he been there? He didn't know, days maybe. He thought of Elizabeth, of how she would react when they told her he was dead. He couldn't let that happen, but what if they already told her he was dead? That was why he had to get up, he had too. He need to get back to Elizabeth.
