Magnificent Eight (Red Harvest ff, Magnificent seven)

C.5

Alice's pov

"Alice." Sam calls my name to which I nod and begin to follow him. I gently place my pistol back into my side holster.

"Hold your fire. Hold your fire." Sam tells the group hearing Goodnight mumble, 'where there is one theres more.'

"Comanche?" Same asked the Native seeing what he speaks. Slowly walking up to Sam's back while slowly walking towards the Native.

"We come in peace. Vasques." Sam gets Vasques attention for a moment to hand him his pistol then gently placing his hands up.

"You speak Comanche?" The native questions Sam as we slowly approach. As does himself giving his horse a small kick.

"Some." We are both standing in front of the native who is on his horse. I watch as the mans eyes look behind us at the ones with their weapons in hand.

Looking at his paint I see the red paint covering most of his head. Some black paint look as if it was spilling out of his eyes with white dots mixed in. Along with a black line going down the middle of his face. On his horse I see he has a deer he hunted Im assuming this morning or last night.

"Do you speak white man's English?" Sam questions him. He is quite for a few moments before responding.

"Some." Sam takes a few more steps to get closer to him.

"Where's your tribe? Huh?" I glance at same surprised he spoke to him in English but go back to watching the Native.

"The elders told me my path is different." He responds looking very serious, but I understand when Natives talk about their path it is a serious conversation.

"My path is different, too. My path... Our path." I say perfectly making them both look at me in surprise. Sam has never heard me spoke in their native tongue and this man has never heard a white women speak in another language. I show my arms to behind me signaling towards the others. "We go to fight wicked men. Probably, we all die." Sam and I look at the man who is making eye contact with me. I want to look away but something inside is telling me not too. He glances once more at Sam then looks down at his deer untying it making it fall onto the ground.

Getting off his horse, he lets the reins go in confidence the horse wont go anywhere. He makes eye contact with me again while slowly gets out a knife that looks like it would be his hunting knife. I hear two or three clicks of the setting of hammers on the guns from behind us. He man bends down to the deer cutting it open.

Taking a piece of meat out with his hand dripping he looks at Sam.

"I'm called Red Harvest." Red Harvest hands Sam the piece of meat making me give a small smile knowing he hasn't really ever have to do this. "This is a peace offering." Sam does a small glance at me making me nod my head.

Sam hesitates but still takes a rather large bite handing it back to him but Red Harvest nods his head in my direction for me to take a bite as well. I gently take it from Sam's hand and bring it up to my mouth.

Taking a bite the taste of raw meat and blood fill my mouth. I gently reach out with it in my hand towards Red Harvest who takes it. My stomach feels like there are 100 butterflies in it when our hands touch but the feeling quickly goes away after he takes the meat. He takes a bite where I just took one and nods his head towards Sam. Sam nods his head while still chewing making me smile since I already finished and swallowed my bite. I watch as Sam begins to walk away.

3rd pov

Alice watches Sam begin to walk away then turns to Red Harvest to see him already looking at her. Giving him a small smile she introduces herself to him.

"My name is Alice Brown. You can call me Alice." He nods his head while looking at her hair which has a few feathers braided into it along with her two necklaces that clearly look Native.

She walks away towards the rest of the group with Red Harvest watching after her feeling something in him strange.

"What'd he say?" Jack asked Chisolm as he approaches the group again.

"Said he's with us. Gonna fix him some breakfast. I had mine." Vasques hands him back his gun when he is passing him while Alice walks towards her saddle gathering up the stuff she got out for the night. "Lets get this fire started."

After everyone eats for the morning the saddle up their horses and take off with Chisolm leading and Teddy Q in the back.

Galloping across the land they made it to Emma and Teddy Q's town by mid-afternoon.  Standing outside of it they left their horses on the tree line then get into a circle to discuss the plan. Chisolm takes the lead due everyone trusting him. Using his knife he draws the lay out of the town into the dirt.

"I will ride into town with Billy and Alice walking beside me. Emma and Teddy I want you two to stay out of the fight until its over. Jack come in through the east side near the sheriff building. Vasques come on the west side. Goodnight come in on the Northeast side. East side as well just come out on a different spot. Red Harvest, I need you to get on the roof, I know these men will have one or two people on the roof with a rifle." Each of them nod their heads in agreement and set off to carry out the plan.

Chisolm begins to ride out with Billy and Alice walking behind him. Everyone disperses out to their spots waiting for the signal.
