Chapter two

Ratonhnhaké ton had awoke from the strange vision he had seen. He was laying in the meadow next to the river valley. The Clan Mother had been waiting for him along with Evelence. Without questioning Ratonhnhaké ton spoke.

"We have to seek out the man-"

"I already know it's alright." She nodded in respect. He seemed confused and then looked to Evelyn.

"Or else Charles Lee will have his way and burn our village." He hissed at the name.

Charles Lee was the one he hated. He burned their village down which killed his mother. He could still see the image in his head. With a sigh the Clan Mother handed Ratonhnhaké ton and Evelence a bed for them to rest if they stopped for the night.

"I will keep this village safe." He tightened the map in his hands firmly. Evelence nodded to confirm she would too protect the village she grew up in as well. As soon as they said their goodbyes they crossed the valley and turned around to wave her goodbye.

Ratonhnhaké ton and Evelence didn't speak much. The beginning of their journey was quiet, just how Evelence's secret place was. The air would smell awful with no breeze, but once you climb to the highest point of the tree you could no longer smell the scent. It replaces it with a nice cool breeze that smelled a little nicer. She wondered if she would ever come back.

A couple of hours later, it was getting dark. They found a nearby cave to sleep in for the night.

"We have to leave when the sun is been between those two mountains." He pointed his finger to where he was talking about. She nodded in reply and set her bed on the hard, rocky floor.

Ratonhnhaké ton was dreaming about the day he saw his mother for the last time. Stuck between the logs of the house they lived in. He tried desperately to carry the log to get her out of there.

"Ratonhnhaké ton, you must get out of here! You must be strong." She had said to him, holding his hand.

"Mother, don't say that!" he cried out.

"Go!" his mother commanded. He was grabbed by one of the men from the village.

"I love you." She was crushed under the logs.

He woke up from his sleep seeing Evelence frightened by something. His eyes adjusted in the darkness and looked at Evelence again.
"Did you just growl?" she stood very still. He could hear the shaking in her voice. He raised an eyebrow and moved closer to her to see what she was looking at.

There were two eyes glowing further in the cave. Its eyes looked hungry and quenched for their flesh. Slowly, not wanting to draw attention, he took ahold of Evelence's arm. They both moved slowly out of the cave, leaving their beds in there. The beast crawled out at the same pace as they did.

Carefully his head looked up to where they could climb the highest tree. It was just across from them. Evelence moved too much it drew the beast's attention. It growled and snarled, that's when they decided to run. His grip was tight on Evelence's wrist, careful not to let her slip and fall. He pushed Evelence up the tree he planned to climb.

"Faster!" he shouted at her and started to climb.

"I'm trying!' she shouted back. They both climbed as fast as they could without stopping to take a break. The bear stood up and started shaking the tree with its claws. They climbed higher and eventually stopped at the top. They both looked down to see the bear give up and return to the cave they were once in.

Both were catching their breaths.

"We should keep going now that we are fully awake."

"No." Ratonhnhaké ton said still catching his breath. "We must get some rest so we won't have to stop in the daylight to rest." He adjusted himself to sleep in the tree. She sighed and did as he asked, adjusting herself as well.

The following morning Ratonhnhaké ton had woke her from her sleep. She mumbled and sat up from the tree stretching her arms out.

"Should we get our supplies? Maybe the bear isn't in there anymore." Evelence suggested.

"No, I do not want to risk our lives to go back in the where the bear lies."

She frowned.

"We can hunt for food, and there is water in the rivers and lakes." He climbed down the tree and started free-running through the forest, branch to branch. Evelence followed his footsteps and was free-running herself. They kept free-running until they saw a trail that led to a mansion at the top of the cliff.

"Mind if I ask a question?

Ratonhnhaké ton shrugged and didn't mind.

"When we get there, what will happen next?"

He thought about the vision that the woman had shown him.

"I don't know, the spirits did not tell me other than a man will train us to become this symbol." He placed his finger at the symbol of the map.

"Looks like we're getting close any-"He was suddenly erupted by horses neighing and hooves beating the ground. They turned around and that's when they saw men in horses chasing after a man that looked older.

"Move!" he shouted.

Ratonhnhaké ton grabbed Evelence into some bushes to where the two men in red uniforms wouldn't see them. They remained in their place until they could hear no more hooves beating the ground.

"I wonder if the man that was being chased as to do with anything with the symbol." His face flared red when he looked back at Evelence to see he was on top of her. Her face was as red as him.

"I-I'm sorry," he helped her up and refused to look at her. She turned around as well with her face still red. He grabbed the map and looked at the mansion that was on top of the cliff.

"That's it." He started walking.

"What's what?" she ran to catch up with him.

They walked a few paces with her still asking questions.

"Is that it? Are we there?"

"Yes it's here."

She observed the mansion.

"What if it isn't it, what if the map is wrong?" she looked worried.

"It has to be right." He went up to the door and knocked on it. There was no answer. His head turned to Evelence as she gave him a look to knock the door again. Two knocks and the door swung open.

A man who had darker skin than the two teens stood at the door with his hunched back and held his cane. He looked impatient.

Ratonhnhaké ton cleared his throat, "I-I was hoping you can train us."

The man rolled his eyes and sighed like he has heard this before. "Go away."

He shut the door on their faces and left them. Ratonhnhaké ton banged on the door waiting for him to open it once more.

"Ratonhnhaké ton, stop," she glared at him. "We can try another place, this one might not be-"

"It is! It has to be!" he shouted and waved her off.

"You can go if you wish, I will stay here until the old man can help me train." He was banging on the door, but there was no reply.

He looked around the house searching for another entrance around the mansion. There was. In face there was a door on the other side of the mansion. He started banging on the door.

"Ratonhnhaké ton this is not the right place we have to-" they both heard the window slide open. It was the old man.

"I'm apologize if I made myself unclear or otherwise confused you with my words." He started talking to Ratonhnhaké ton. "It was never my intention to mislead. So let me clarify." He cleared his throat.

"GET THE HELL OFF MY LAND!" with that, he slammed the window down and walked off. Ratonhnhaké ton stood there for a moment wondering what to do next.

"You see?" she started walking off.

"Where are you going?!" he shouted behind him.

"Going to find the correct place," Evelence had taken off and disappeared into the woods.

He rolled his eyes and wondered around the house. He could see the balcony had a door and decided to climb it. He grew impatient and began banging on the door once again.

"Please! Just hear me out!" he was then rattling the door knob. "What are you so afraid of?"

The old man came out and tripped him with his cane. He fell to the ground and placed his cane on his throat.

"Afraid you think I'm afraid of a little scab like you?" he threatened. Ratonhnhaké ton's anger cooled and replaced it with the feeling of guilt.

"You might think you can be some hero to save the world when you can't. There are no happy endings! None!" he removed his cane from his throat and started walking to the door.

"The world has moved on, boy. You should too." The door shut behind him.

This made Ratonhnhaké ton furious.

"I'm not leaving old man! You hear me?!" he shouted for him to hear.

"I am NEVER leaving…"
