The next morning i woke up early because of something sharp poking me in the face. When i looked i saw it was an envelope and i opened it with a smile.

Dear Alfred,

Be verry careful Alfred. I know you have a strong feeling about these people. But be careful please. Remember, the natives did harm a lot of mine and Antonio's people. Do not, under any circumstances, let your guard down. Also no, as far as i know you have never been to this land before. I dont know what feeling it is that you are having in this place. But be careful. You and Blueberry know how to get ahold of us if anything happens. She knows your not human? That is even more reason to be careful.

Love forever your Big Brother and Father
Arthur Kirkland

I smiled and looked outside after I got dressed. The sun wasnt even up yet, but Pochahontas was walking towards my tent. When she saw i was standing there she motioned for me to come with. I nod and scramble up and go to her

"Good morning, I did not think you would be up early"

"yes...neither did i"

She nods softly

"Follow me, im going to show you how to stay silent and hunt for food"

I nod and follow her. On her back i saw arrows and swung over her shoulder was two bows. I was confused.

"Mrs. Pocahontas? are we not using guns?"

She froze and turned a hand raised to hit me. I flinched and looked away. However the hit never came.

"We do not use such horible noise makers. Just like a slap would hurt you or me, those noise makers are just as bad. A arrow, if shot correctly causes the animal less pain"

I nod looking at her, then at the ground as we walked towards the trees. Suddenly her hand goes to my chest stopping me in my step. I looked up at her. She placed a finger to her lips and then pointed in front of us. There, eating grass was a deer. Silently she moved next to me and whispered.

"stay silent, you dont want to scare her off"

"h..how do you know its a girl?"

I whispered in return. She pointed at the stomach.

"see how its large and swollen?"

I nod

"It is a she, because in nature, only the female being gets pregnant. Never hunt a pregnant mother, or a mother with children. Most being's brings their children with them"

I blink and nod. Then i looked towards the deer who moved on as though we where never there.

"Stay away from leaves, and walk with a gentle foot. Then she looked down and saw my shoes on.

"take those off"

I looked at her confused

"what?"

"Take those off, it will cause comotion"

I nod seeing she was barefoot as well. I take my shoes and socks off and she takes them and hides them inside a tree.

"Now, walk quietly"

I nod and follow her, a few minutes it was hard, then slowly i got used to it and her and I walked silently. All around me i heard birds and animals, but not once a crackle of leave or crack of a twig. We came across another deer who was laying down with a broken leg. She looked at me.

"There are only a few times you can kill a creature. One is if the animal is in too much pain and cannot be healed. The other is if you need food desperatly. Those are mainly the only two times you are allowed to kill and animal. Do you understand?"

I nod

"So we are allowed to kill the deer?"

She nods

"I will show you how to shot the arrow"

Silently she walks to me and hands me the bow and an arrow. Silently she shows me how to set the bow and arrow. Pocahontas then puts her away and checks my stance and my position. Sometimes nudging my arm or tilting my head more. Finally she nods.

"Pull the arrow straight back, look past the arrow and bow and at the deer. Aim, then fire. Try to aim for the heart. It will be less messy and quicker to kill"

I nod and does as told pulling the arrow straight back. I aim towards where i figured the heart would be. Finally i let go and the arrow silently flew threw the air and pierced the animal. I lowered my bow and Pocahontas took me towards the animal and had me kneel.

"Put one hand on the deer, and the other on the shaft of the arrow. This time i will say the prayer, but you must learn it, i will not always be with you when you hunt"

I nod and slowly pull the arrow out and she speaks in her native tounge. It sounded beautiful. When we where both finished she took the arrow and checked it then looked at the hole, then at me.

"Have you ever shot an arrow before?"

I shook my head.

"No, i have not"

She looks at me with a look as though i was lieing.

"You shot that arrow perfectly, no sound as it flew threw the air like a hawk. Piercing the heart as a crane catches fish, also with a clean cut. Are you positive you have never shot?"

I nod again with a light blush at her praise.

"Yes, m'am, i am positive, i used to play with swords when i was little, but thats it. I have never used a bow and arrow...Was my shot really that good?"

"If what you say is true...For a white man, that has never picked up a bow or arrow...you shot like one of our master hunters.."

I blushed more at the praise she gave me. She helped me lift the deer, but i took it completly after a moment since i was strong. She was surprised at that. We walked back to the camp. She told me i could keep the bow, and that later she would teach me how to make my own. Although, for now we had to get the deer cleaned and ready to cook for lunch.
