Savage Skies
“—Wordsworth Speckled Fawn still pretended to stumble as she was taken to a cabin by two soldiers. It was scarcely furnished and . . . there were bars on its only window.
The bars made her heart skip a beat as she was led to the small bed beneath the window.
Had she stepped into a trap? Had the colonel of this fort discovered what she had come for?
Had someone been spying on Blue Thunder and his warriors?
If so, had she been seen with them?
Now she feared not only for herself, but also for Blue ...Thunder and those brave warriors with him.
Perhaps even now the soldiers were with Blue Thunder, arresting or killing him for making plans against a white settler.
“Please excuse us for bringing you here. There is no other available lodging,” a soldier with brilliant red hair said as he helped Speckled Fawn down to the cot, which had a mattress on it but nothing more. “You will be brought clean sheets, a basin of water, and a clean dress. My wife will bring you one to wear. She is the same size as you, so the dress should fit you well enough.”MoreLess
