All you saw for miles was sand. Lots and Lots of sand. The desert is the only land I've known for a month. I'm on my way to Pica to join the reinforcements to beat the Indians. Carmeron Gold is my partner, and has been since my last three missions, which have been over the past two years. I've never been so close to someone that knows all my secrets. I don't trust very well. But there was something about Cameron that just pulled me toward him. He's trustworthy, loyal, dependable, and dang is he beautiful. His eyes look as blue as the ocean, his blonde sun streaked hair shading his beautiful face.

I took a look ahead to make sure I was keeping up with his pace. His eyes were squinted as he looked up into the sun, pouring the last little drips of water into his mouth. The heat was excruciating. I was about to go and talk to Cameron about taking a brake, but there was a blow of a horn over the mounds of sand. We both turned towards the sound and saw the omahawks riding their horses toward us with spears soaring.

Cameron ran towards me and took my hand, and we started running away from the Indians. We knew what would happen if they caught us. They would scalp us, burn us, kill our families. We were wearing down. We couldn't out run the horses, so we ran into a cave that was just small enough for us to crawl into. No way would they be able to catch us unless they crawled in. 

Outside the cave we heard them shouting, "Stay away from cave! Sapa shall kill them! Sacrifice to Sapa!" What the heck was Sapa, but i'm afraid we would soon find out.
