Busted Gulch vol. 4

Home? (Ruechari)

Home?

Ruechari

was happy

To be free

Of the wraith's

Tyranny

In his place

A familiar face

ThingaMajig

Held her

In his embrace

"I can't believe

It's really you

Can it be true?"

"A vision told me

Where I'd find you."

On her head he laid a kiss

"What the hell... is this?"

Ruechari

Suddenly free

Was staring at

the angry face of Billy.

Her brother asked,

"Who is he?"

Now stuck in between

Like another bad dream

Ruechari wanted to scream

"Billy, he's my brother."

"I know you're an only child."

His temper was running wild.

"Okay, He's my Uncle then."

"You care to begin again?"

The Chief suddenly understood,

"My Father was Chief Damaged Goods

Ruechari and I shared a childhood

Even though her Uncle I may be

She has always been like a sister to me."

That embrace was hard to misconceive

Billy found it hard to believe

After seeing such a loving display

That she just happened to find her "brother"

after coming all this way.

"What he says is true

If not for him I'd be lost to you

There was trouble bringing Bigbee 'round

I was lost but now I'm found."

Billy grabbed her and held on tight

"Sorry Rue, didn't come to fight

But when I got my bandana from Jasper

... I felt such fright

I rode straight through both day and night."

"I knew I should have never let you roam

At least not here on your own

Please, Rue let's go home?"

"I couldn't with you more agree,"

The Chief said suddenly.

"It's time you come home with me.

Back to your people and family."

Billy panicked, "What did you say?

Rue you're going to let him take you away?

You can't! You have to stay!"

Billy took her hand,

her brother took the other.

"She's not meant for you,

she's meant for another

At Billy's look he said,

"Not me! I'm her brother!

But Ruechari has been bespoken

This a vow that can't be broken.

It is time Ruechari,

to take your place

among the rest

After all you are Shaman of the West."
