Rose Sixteen, Rose the Indian

Sliding to her knees, she worked the bow and started the fire. She had it blazing in seconds lighting up the sky. She leaped to her pony and took the two ponies. She gave out a piercing war-whoop and charged down the hill filling the sky with another war-whoop.
The two Indian warriors had Askee pinned to the ground. They were in the process of tying him when they saw the top of the hill light up. Upon hearing Rose’s war-whoop, and the charging ponies, they thought a war party was attacking them.
Dropping Askee, they ran for the river. Diving in, they floated past the cave. They had thoughts of climbing up and taking the horses. They changed their minds when the charging horde entered the cave.
Rose brought the ponies up quick inside the cave. It scared the warriors even more, and they swam faster. The darkness prevented them from seeing Rose clearly. They only heard her war-whoop piercing the night air.
