Aiden was sharpening her tools when she smelled the scent of soap, and cologne, it filled the air and she looked toward her tribe of women. After she saved the young anthropologist and his mentor and body guard she couldn't stop thinking of them, memories of her father returned to her. He was a military man from a military family. His eyes were a nice brown he was thin and had a long narrow nose.
"Aiden"
She looked up at the group leader a woman in her thirties and stood up; her brown leather outfit was clean for she had washed it today.
"Strangers are in these woods; make sure they do not discover us."
Aiden nodded and flew through the trees, she remembered her mother told her once when the sisterhood began, and it was in the late forties. A time she had learned about in a book once, she stopped and looked down to see the three she saved form the car those some weeks ago.
"Zach I believe that you may have imagined a young woman saving us, the force that hit your head as the car flipped gave you a concussion."
"NO I am telling you Dr. Brennan she was here, and she dressed my wounds."
"OK look Zach buddy maybe you imagined the woman, we can get you to talk to someone about it if that's what you want ok."
"Booth I am telling you I know what I saw."
"Anthropologically speaking it is known for women to break away from society to raise their young, it is possible that this woman is apart of some very old tribe."
"She was fairly intelligent; also her face was quite symmetrical, and her body was equal from torso to foot, she was very pleasing to look at."
Aiden dropped down in front of Zach landing with a small thud on her feet her hand on the ground. Booth looked at bones wide eyed. She was real her lips were fuller then in the picture angel drew and her hair was more dirty but still long to her middle back.
"Oh my goodness."
"I told you she was real."
Aiden turned and looked at Zach coming very close to him; she washed her cloths in running water and lavender to mix in with the wilderness after bathing.
"Your injuries have healed better then expected."
"Yes they have thank you."
She stared at him her head tilted she was just as curious about him as he was her.
"Hello I am Dr. Brennan, I am an anthropologist."
She turned to them and stared.
"You are not welcome in these woods, I advise you to leave before you become a by standard"
"She speaks fairly well for someone her age, I can tell by the wearing of her feet and hands she is a hunter."
"I am a tracker; your scent is soon to draw my sisters."
Aiden turned to leave,
"Wait I have many things to ask you."
"NO you must go before they find out what I have done."
"What does she mean?"
"She saved us, with tribes come rules, we are outsiders there fore she is not permitted to associate with us. Any further conversation will result in a betrayal."
Aiden ran into the bushes and vanished they looked around; really she was in the trees looking down at the them.
"We need to thank her but first we must find any thing leading to the crash."
Aiden jumped down again and stared at them.
"Look someone lead the deer to the street do you know anything about that?"
"IT has been some time since I have associated with anyone form the outside. I am still a American citizen, so I will assist in your investigation any way I can."
Booth was surprised she spoke like a squint.
"Thank you."
"You are welcome"
She said and looked around sniffing the air. She glared and without warning lounged at Zach protecting him from a arrow. She looked up and tok her arrows out.
"No booth, they handle thing on their own in this village."
Agent booth did not relinquish his gun but still placed it on safety.
"Aiden you will come home with us now."
"No I will help them; it is the right thing to do."
"Then you turn your back on your family."
Aiden looked at Zach and stepped back from him, she looked down and sighed.
"It was a man he was approximately 5 foot seven to five foot nine, he had long black hair tied in a pony tail dragging her body from the west side."
"Aiden that is enough."
"We are at war against another tribe they are, our enemies."
Aiden looked down she would now be shunned for helping the outsiders but was prepared to deal with the consequences; she was already different from them.
"Thank you I know what you must have done for yourself is very hard, but you are a very good person."
Aiden didn't want to hear anything and just ran into the brush disappearing.
Bones was going over the remains of the young woman; Zach was analyzing the way she lived and filling the report.
"SO she's real?"
"Yes her name is Aiden Dr. Brennan believes that she has been murdered for her betrayal"
"I would hope not, she was nice enough to help us."
Angela the half Asian beautiful brunette walked away feeling sad for her socially inept friend. He met someone who not only befriended him, but showed interest in him.
Zach sighed as Hodgns drove them home, he knew his friend was feeling down. So said nothing, Zack walked up the steps of the garage and tossed his messenger bag on the couch turning on the lights. He headed toward his bedroom when he stopped standing there was Aiden she looked like she got into a very nasty fight her rib cage was bruised.
"Aiden"
He said surprised, she looked at him, her hair had dried blood in it, and she was looking at him with a look of relief.
