I walked through the woods and for some reason something felt oddly familiar to me. I felt like i knew where i was going but i dont remember ever being here before. Still I followed my instincts untill i found a settlement with many native people. I walked to who i thought was the king since he had so many jewelery and looked more powerful then the others. He smiled down at me as i walked closer. Being polite as big brother always told me to be, I bowed my head. When he started to speak once again it felt familiar but for some reason I did not know it. He must have noticed this because a girl walked over, not te one i saw earlier. she nodded her head at me and smiled.
"Hello, i am Pocahontas, this is my father, Chief Powhatan"
I smiled, the girl standing in front of me and speaking the same language as me was simply beautiful.
"It's nice to meet you, I am Alfred Kirkland, my Big Brother...or Father is Arthur Kirkland, He couldnt come with me to this land"
She nodded but something in her eyes told me she knew Big Brother. She then said something to her father who nods and says something back. Then she translated for me.
"Father wants to know how you found our home, and what you want from us?"
I looked at her
"I dont know how i found this place, i simply followed something in my mind, i dont know how i knew where this village was. And i want nothing, i was just walking around hoping to find this woman i saw earlier..."
"A woman? what woman?"
"I dont know...she wore like what all of you are wearing, but she was in the woods, I saw her by some trees when our ship docked"
Pocahontas nodded and spoke to her father again. I think what was happening was that she was translating for her father and I. Finally she spoke again to me.
"we do not know who you may be talking about since so many are in this tribe, but father welcomes you to explore as you said. Only under one condition, you must not harm our people at all. And animals only if food is needed"
She stopped as her father said something and she smiled speaking to me again
"Also father says, if you would wish to learn our ways, we will be happy to teach you"
I smiled and nod and lowered my head towards her father
"Thank you, that is very kind of you"
Pocahontas repeated my words to her father who then stepped towards me and rested his hands on my shoulders which is something Big Brother did, it was his way of saying 'your welcome' and i had a feeling it ment the same with Chief Powhatan.
he said something and once again Pocahontas translated
"would you like to stay here in our tribe? it would be easier to teach you"
I smiled and nod
"That would be nice, should i get my things and bring them here? it is not a lot"
She nods
"I will take you back to the white man, and I will wait for you hidden in the forest. Then i will bring you back here"
I nod and her father patted my shoulders before i left walking with Pocahontas
"my father likes you, i believe i know why. Everyone in my tribe can feel it"
I looked at her confused
"What do you mean?"
"You are not like the white man are you?"
I blinked and stopped dead in my tracks afraid now i would be hurt. She stopped and turned looking at me.
"Dont worry, you will be safer with my people then the white man, we understand, i know you are like us, but we will not hurt you, I know your white man says many a cruel word about us, but we are kind and caring people, we are not the savages"
I nod softly walking towards her
"I noticed that as soon as i came into your home"
She stops near the edge of the trees
"I will wait here for you"
I nod and walk the rest of the way back to my soon to no longer be my home and grabbed my small bag and walked back to the forest. No one noticed me leave and i smiled at her when i saw her
"You where not lieing, you dont have a lot of things"
I shook my head
"No, i didnt think i would need a lot"
"That is wise"
Her and i then walked back to the tribe, and in my head i was writing my next letter to big brother that i would write and send out after i get settled in my new home
