****************************************


The prairie seemed like it spread out for ever, over many grassy hills and valleys. A land rich in soil and hope at least that's what many others hoped for. The Calvary had been sent to Fort Haskins in Colorado six months ago. It had been that long since she had seen her father yet her mother went out west in a wagon train a month after father. Not so for her, Cynthia Edward's was told to stay and finish school. She could follow along in the summer time by train then a coach would take her to the fort in May till she started school in the fall again up north.

Cindy sat now in that coach staring out to the vast lands rolling on by. The train ride was dull it was dark most of the time not getting to see as much of the country side as she had hoped but now the sun was shinning the air crisp and clear as they rolled down the trail. The wind blew in her face as she lean out of the coach looking down the hills and valleys. The driver told her many time to stay in side before she got hurt and even the older man a very nice gentle man that she meet on the train a Mr. Davis, asked her twice to not sit so close but she still had to see where she was going...

It was her that saw the dust rising up beyond the hills behind then heard the whoops and hollers of the savages that seemed to come up on them from no where. the coach broke out into a madding run as the older man pulled Cindy in and pulled her to the floor shielding her to the floor just as an arrow zinged on into the coach sticking to the very seat she was sitting in. the man had saved her life as he grunted and told her to stay down and be quiet...

the couch rolled on down the road bumping and tipping till finally they hear it. The Calvary the sound of the charge it was coming there way to the joys of the driver and his partner but not quiet in time. The drive was shot the other man throw as the coach hit a rut and flipped to the side just as the thundering hoof beats sounded past them. A mixture shouts and war whoops mixing together not knowing who was above then she head men climbing to the couch falling back even thought she saw a horse jump over the side of it. she did as she was told stayed down and silent Mr. Davis seems to have shielded her from most of the sights and held her safe but to the sounds all around her, a mighty bloody battel all around her being fought.

The silence was almost as bad as the battel but finally a hush not a sound not the roar of men talking shouts nothing silence.. then she hear d it ... foot steps in silence. The door over top of them pulled and with a grunt as the door came free.

He looked down at the scene in the coach, it had tipped in a muddy puddle the occupants had been there for some time and he was not sure of any where alive. it tumbled hard and had marks from arrows and yes even bullets all in it. he saw the large older man huddled over someone, then saw a women's skirt and shoes. it was then he spoke and made his presence clear.

"It's all right now sir, ma'am... I am Sergeant Maxwell Anderson. from Fort Myers. let me help you out please all is secure."

His hand lowered down to the man but not a sound came from him he was slumped over the lady and Max saw the arrow that landed in his side he wondered if the lady was in the same condition. those blond curls seemed to drop down into he eyes
as he moved the man to the side as easily as he could." Ma'am.. are you all right. can you hear me?"

Fort Myers was the next fort before her father a smaller one

but still in the same territory.

It was then that Cindy looked up seeing those biggest pair of deep blue eyes she had ever seen his hand extended down to her as she looked to Mr. Davis wondering why he just laid over her still.

"its all right Mr. Davis we can get up not its a solider please get off me sir... "

The young Sergeant smile to the pretty young lady she was dressed all in light blue and had her hair up in a makeshift bun but most had fallen from the tumbling of that coach but still a breath of fresh air out in these parts. yet it was then that the young sergeant waved his hand for her to stay still and be silent a water moccasin had crawled into the coach in that water. he told her not to make a sound and motioned to her that the snake was right beside her slithering deathly near.

Sergeant Maxwell Anderson

I slowly and smoothly draw my knife. With a movement as quick as lightning, I throw it killing the snake. I then bend over and lift off the dead man. "I'm sorry ma'am but I think this man is dead."

OOC: I hope you don't mind me joining in. This thread looks like fun.

Cindy Edwards

Cindy froze at the mans command having no idea if the danger was still looming outside the doors of that coach not , Not even realizing it was inside as well that water moccasin had slathered it's way to close to comfort to the young lady with out even knowing it, she was still in danger . It was that swift cast of the knife thats did how ever bring a shrill scream to the lady till she looked to where the knife had landed.

Then the sergeant lifted the man from off of her , the weight indeed gone now making it easier for her to breath as she looked to the solider as he spoke.

"I'm sorry ma'am but I think this man is dead."

She felt her jaw drop as her eyes widen looking down to where Mr Davis laid. It was then that she saw his hand lowered down in front of her face to help her lift upwards and out of this coach. She climbed out and stood beside the man brushing her gown from all the dirt and dust and now mud that clung to the hem as she let her gaze then fall over the man that had come to the rescue.

"I am sorry for the fussy Sergeant but I was on my way home to see my father Captain Edward's in fort Haskins... What happen why where we ambushed like that ...We carried no gold nothing, just Poor Mr. Davis and myself."

The young sergeant smiled to the lady taking in her appearance and hearing her words knowing fort Haskins was at least another eight hours ride from here but the coach would be in need of repair and she would need to stay at the fort he was from for a few days at least now. But also knew of the reputation of Captain Edwards. as he continued to listen to her plight.

"I am Cynthia Edward's ... How far are we from my fathers fort, and are you one of his men might he be here himself?"

She looked about looking for her father and that was when she saw all the death and deviation about her an attack to the wagon was sure men laid dead all around her both Indian and soldiers a like.

Sergeant Maxwell Anderson

The young soldier couldn't help but smile at this girl. She may be Captain Edward's daughter but she knew nothing of the pairie life. "Ma'am, it wasn't gold these Indians were after. You had something else they wanted."

He walks over to one of the other wagons, and kicks open two barrels of flour. One has only flour, the other has a couple of rifles mixed in.

"We are trying to find ways of getting amunition through this land but the natives keep finding ways of capturing them. They were after all of those things. We are about two hours hard ride outside of Fort Myers. It'll be another six hours from there to your father's place. We won't be able to make that journey for a couple of days tho. There's been an avalnche and we can't make it through the only safe way. Also, we have to take this couch back and repair it. My men will get it to working and we'll be ready to leave in about an hour."

Cindy

"Damn it ... Six hours away yet and still two to go to get to your fort... Oh my lord "

Her eyes widen at her own quick words and her Language, as her gloved hand lifted to her mouth looking to the sergeant. Oh what he must think of her to use words such as that. But in truth The captain had wanted his only daughter to stay up north not only fro the education but the finer finishing schools up there she was a bit of a tome boy despite her clothes and mannerisms today. It was nothing to find Cindy climbing a tree ridding like wild fire out on her horse through the plain jumping fences and streams. she was wild and loved the freedom it seem to ensure. Yet to the horror of her mother it was not expectable to her father either being the caption to see his daughter running faster ahead and riding a mount better then many of his own men. Now she looked a bit dishevel her hair half falling form that bun her upper-class gown dirty and ragged from the ride and even muddy at the bottom. oh how she wished she had worn those leather britches she was found of.

" I am sorry Sergeant Anderson.. truly for give me.. and no i am not very well aware of the plains this is the first time i have been here i was coming home to meet my parents in at fort Haskins"

She looked to the man and looked around seeing the gun s and hearing a bunch of men whooping and hollering that there was a lady in the coach not knowing she was the captain daughter over at the next fort. She already glared back to them not at all chilled at the ways of solider she had be a soldiers daughter all her life.

"When do we leave..... I can ride just need to change first can't ride in this get up if you please Sergeant?"

 

[Bengal52]

Sergeant Maxwell Anderson

Max can't help but give a slight smile at the profanity. This girl is just full of surprises. She does match some of the rumors he heard about her. He had heard she was a bit of a tom boy a few of years ago. Suddenly, he hears his men.

"Attention! Group assemble over here, NOW!" The men shut up and run over.
"You men will have to behavior yourselves for the rest of the day. This is Captain Edwards daughter and she is under my protection. You will all leave her alone and treat her with the respect you would give her father. Do you understand?"

"SIR, YES SIR!"

"Dismissed. So, do you have clothes for riding or should I get some clothes for you to wear. I'm sorry but we don't have any side saddles."

 

[Funloving62]

Cindy

She huffed about hearing about that stupid side saddel "In my bags I have something I can wear to ride in yes Sergeant ... "

She moved to the side and lifted her own bag, opening it and riffling through it quickly grabbing her boot and a pair of leathers with a plan white blouse. She looked around then back to the man.

"I will change over there if you would kindly stand guard and keep the others away long enough for me to change sir ?"

The sergeant nodded his head and walked with her till he got to the bushes she ducked back inside . Quietly he snickered he could still see her from the thicket she chose . It was not as dense as she much have thought. Once back there she muttered about the damn trip taking to long and now this. all the while removing her gloves and boots then reaching back to undo the hooks of her gown and letting it fall around her feet

." this is ruined"

She sighed the looked down at her bloomers that where soaked and muddy even the chemise she tore off standing there she shook her head slipping those leathers up those shapely thighs as she struggled to get them up and fastened.

"Hmm ... tighter then I remembered from the last time I wore them. Oh bother I will get new ones later this will have to do."

"All the while the sergeant could see every shapely curve , all of her as she stood there her nude form on display for his eyes only, to his own delightful view. She threw on the blouse and buttoned it up and slipped on an old pair of boots walking out. to him as she pulled that bun from her hair and tied it back in to a long ponytail.A bit of a sway in her hoips as she walked ot a horse near by those leathers clinging to her like a seond skin now. more then the sergaent took notice aswell now.

"I don't need no Side saddle sergeant I can ride just as well as any of your men I assure you now can we go... I want to get to my fathers fort as soon as possible."

 

[Bengal52]

Sergeant Maxwell Anderson

Max couldn't help but smile at this girl. She kept doing things which made it so he couldn't blame his men for their horniness. When she hid behind that bush, he had full view and a feeling she knew it. Her complaints were so normal for first time prairie travelers. When she came out, wearing those tight clothes, he thought his cock was going to jump right out of those thick pants all calvary riders wear. He hoped she didn't notice. When she braided her hair, she just turned him on more.

"Well, now that you are ready. Its time for us to get moving. We will let you take out, Mountain Breeze over there for about an hour before we have to leave. Her former master came from out by you and would welcome her being in the hands of a rider as beautiful as you. She's the best behaved horse we have."

Max whisles and a beautiful white mare comes in running. "May she serve you as well as she served her former master to better availe to you."

He quickly adjusts the stirups to fit this new rider, without even putting them next to her. "There you go. She should be ready for you now."

 

[Funloving62]

She hear the young sergeants words and smirked hearing that complement. Cindy moved about the mare as she was brought down to her, a hand was brought down over her withers and smoothed the mares mane, adjusting the saddle and nodding to the man for adjusting the straps. Then she lifted a booted foot up into that stirrups and flung herself up in to the saddle with ease.

" I am ready sir may we be off now then."

Cindy sat on her mount waited all could tell she knew what she was doing as she sat there and as far as the bushes where concerned where she changed she looked back and saw the opening and looked away quickly she had no idea she could be seen back there and had to wonder who or how many saw her change.

The sergeant took the reigns of his stallion and mounted then looked to her and gave the signal. All was loaded and ready to go as the troops and Miss Edward's rode out to the fort to return home. Max rode beside her all the way she smiled and spoke pleasantries asking questions about her father a the fort. Sergeant Anderson seemed to know about the fort and her father reputation more so the activities of her father and mother, which was normal. She felt the eyes on her a a few of the men but more so the young sergeant and yes she had see the unmistakable bulge in the front of his uniform. she had to smirk when the troops started to speed up and the sergeant ordered them to slow so the lady could keep up.

Cindy looked back to the man and laughed don't slow up on my account she set her heels into the flank of the mount and she took off. Now the whole troop following behind her as the sergeant slid up beside her riding at he side with chuckle to the young woman.

Inside the fort she looked about as she was then helped down and she nodded to the men in thanks and the sergeant took her to the officers quarts and gave her a guest room telling her that her father would be notified in the morning of her arrival here at this fort. And in the mean time to rest but the sergeant spoke to her in private as he walked her to the door.

"Miss Edward's... It would be my honor if you would accompany me to dinner this evening. There will be a small party afterwards, the men at the first of the month like to. Well, break free a bit and enjoy then self's it's a party, it is thrown on the first Saturday of the month, would you like to accompany me lady?"

She smiled softly knowing about parties at the forts once a month, they did seem to get out of hand at times. She had seen that first hand but her father had not let her go to any because of the wildness so this was her chance. Normally she would sit and watch from her room all the fights the laughter and even some of the men with the town girls sneaking of but never inside not till tonight.

"I would love to sir would be my pleasure."
