- Clara Jane Wheeler, lay in a tipi, she was shivering. It was not because of the cold. There were furs upon furs, piled on top of her. And there was a fire here in the tipis. But Clara was still shivering. It was because of fear. Clara had been taken from her home. Well, she had been leaving home, when she had been kidnapped. Clara had been kept in the dark, literally, for days, and when she had finally been taken off of the horse, and the sack had been taken off of her eyes, she had come face to face with a bunch of Native Americans.
It wasn't that Clara was racist about Native Americans, because she wasn't. Clara was a very accepting person. It was the fact that she didn't know anything about them, and they didn't know anything about her. Clara shook her head. She sat up, and wrapped the furs around her. Taking a deep breath, Clara stared into the small fire. It was slowly dying. It was going to go out soon, and he would be back. The boy who was her betrothed. She didn't know his name, didn't know what he was like.
The tribe had forced her to spend time with him, and every time they spent time with each other, they were completely quiet. Neither of them spoke one word to each other. Clara didn't want to get married to him. She didn't like being forced against her own will. Clara sighed, she knew that the people here had arranged another meeting, between us. But today this was different. There was a woman who spoke english so that they would be able to translate for us. Clara wasn't sure if this was going to help her decide anything. But she guessed she was willing to try. At least she wanted to get to know the man she would be marrying in a short while.
Clara stood up, and looked at the dress they had given her to wear, and the mocassins as well. They were comfortable, and Clara was grateful. Stepping forward, Clara pulled the tipi aside, and stepped out into the nippy air. It was fall time, early October, almost her birthday. She could see the tribal people sitting around a fire. Clara felt out of place. She didn't know where she should go, where she should meet this boy and the interpreter.
The people sitting at the fire, looked up at her as she walked by, and nodded. Clara smiled nervously back at them, but kept walking. The leaves were beginning to change colors. Clara thought about Jakob. This was his favorite time of year. She missed him very much. All she wanted to do was be back in his arms, and spend time with him. But that was going to be impossible. A tear rolled down her cheek silently. Clara swiped it away, with her hand, and sat down on a log. She was so stupid. Why had she had to go and get kidnapped, and taken. But Elizabeth would tell her that there was no point in wallowing now. What was done is done. Closing her eyes, Clara sat there in silence and listened to the talking of the tribe, and the wind blowing through the trees.
