Mira kommt, nach dem Tod ihrer Mutter, durch unerklärliche Weise nach Amerika. In die Zeit der Indianer. Nach Tagen, in denen sie alleine rumgeirrt ist, trifft sie auf einen Apachenstamm, der sie aufnimmt. Sie lernt die Indianische Sprache Lakota und lebt sich etwas ein. Doch sie gibt nicht auf herauszufinden, wie sie über 500 Jahre in der Geschichte zurück reisen konnte. Achtung: Diese Geschichte ist schlecht recherchiert und stellt in keinster Weise da, wie die Apachen tatsächlich gelebt haben. Ich habe damals lediglich die Neuverfilmung von Winnetou geschaut und dann beschlossen diese Geschichte zu schreiben. Es ist wirklich viel falsch und teilweise auch blöd zu lesen, aber ich habe keine Lust und Zeit die Geschichte neu zu überarbeiten, weswegen ich es einfach so lasse. Wer damit ein Problem hat, kann mal bei meinen anderen Geschichten vorbeischauen, die sind wesentlich besser geworden
