As they spend more time together, getting to know one another, a love like no other begins to develop between them. Tohave knows that Katie's husband beats her, so he tries to help her as much as he can. He knows that as a white woman, she is forbidden to him, but he can't stop himself from keeping watch over her.
It was on one of these occasions that he met the flame-haired beauty called Katie Russell. Bored and restless, he and his friends often wander away from the reservation to visit the few settlers who welcome them and to tease those who don't, but they never mean any harm. He misses the days when they could hunt buffalo and make war against their enemies, but now they must live on reservations, simply waiting for government handouts. Tohave is a young warrior who remembers when the Indian tribes were strong and powerful. So when Katie realizes that her Indian warrior is watching out for her and he saves her life, she cannot stop the yearnings of her heart. Life on the endless prairie far from civilization or even any other white people, becomes a daily exercise in drudgery punctuated only by her husband's abuse. Their leader is a handsome brave who seems to see more of her than any other man has, so when they meet him and his friends again later at the fort, she begins to develop an attraction. When a small band of Indians ride down on their wagon as they near their land, teasing and taunting them, Katie is almost more intrigued than afraid. She's heard stories of the savage Indians, but isn't sure that they could possibly be any worse than her cruel husband who beats and rapes her on a regular basis.
Katie Russell heads west to Nebraska with a husband she was forced to marry by a father who mistreated her and no longer wanted her around. Evernight Teen Summer Kick-off Blog Hop.
