Johnny Mac Sitting in the Black Horse Saloon listening to old fools tell tales of miles and miles of open land out west available to anyone daring enough to stake claim to it.

Now Johnny is not your typical everyday run of the mill cowboy, he's a quickdraw. Probably one of the fastest guns in the entire union, and he knows it. No one in his town would dare to challenge him, his Colt 45 at his side, his favorite firearm, black as night bright maple wood handle, show it's wear visibly.

When Johnny stands he stands at 6' tall and his muscular build of about 210 lbs. The oil lamps highlight his brown hair and mustache. The ladies in the Saloon LOVE Johnny, he's always got a crowd of ladies around him oggling over his frame and reputation of being well let's just say a real Ladies man if you know what I mean.

As he leans at the bar, Jessica, asks "Johnny why won't you ever settle down and get married an all that stuff?" He looks at her laughs out loud, saying "Darlin' ain't no one in this town worth settlin down with, hell even you can see that." That's like me asking you why you ain't settlin down, I can tell you why, you don't know how to keep yer legs closed." she gasps..."WELL I NEVER"...**SMACK** she slaps him in the face....Holding his cheeck laughing at her...Jessie darlin' you know I was just messin 'round with ya. She looks at him teary eyed knowing his words were true, she knew she'd sleep with anything that could walk and had a protrusion in the right area.

As the older fools continue their talk of acreage out west, Johnny overhears something that turns his head. He hears them talk of a spread that oozes black gold. Immediately they have his attention, as he's heard of this black gold being worth a fortune, but not everyone knew about the black gold being oil yet, so he wlaks up to them, his boots thumping the wood floor, I hear ya'll talkin bout black gold. Yes Siree Johnny says one old man, are you old coots out of your mind, ya'll know they ain't no such thang as black gold" Johnny says, trying to play it down like it was nothing to get alarmed about. Awe Johnny you might be right, you always gotta ruin our fun tryin to impress these cuties up in here with the stories...Johnny chuckles trying to pretend friendly, as he says "Fella's where ya'll hearing the rumors of Black gold from? Maybe I outta go check these rumors out for myself and see for all of your own, and end this crazy talk once and for all. "We hear it's out about 15 days to the west, down in Ingine terrieteree, I hear you gotta get through their lands and then 2 days past that. Ain't no one ever made it back..Them ingines are bad" says an old man at the table.

Well, fella's ya'll know I ain't fraid of nuthin, ain't nobody faster on the draw than me. I'll head out in the mornin to these fields of black gold, and when I get back, I'll tell you there aint no truth in that nonsense. laughing at them...
As he turns from the table his smile fades immediately knowing he's just made on of the biggest decisions of his life. He's leaving Cedar Creek for good, and ain't noone going to stop me now.

Johnny falls asleep wondering what this new life will be like....and how he's going to get past the natives land....something the old men said has never been done before...

The next morning Johnny saddles up Diablo and packs his roll, buys some general supplies from the General Store, loads his rifle and slides it into his sheath on his large horse. Giving himself a 1, 2, 3 he grabs the saddle horn and pulls himself on Diablo, who exhales snorting...Johnny clicks his heels into the horses side and makes the clicking sound ch ch come on boy lets go....

Johnny passing miles and miles of just unbelievable country side, sights he's never laid witness to before, day after day. Making camp and hunting his food along the way on his journey, he sits around his campfire playing his harmonica, to tunes of unknown variety, he repeats this for 12 more days.

Johnny clearly out of his element knowing with a sickening feeling he's gotta be close to these Natives lands....the scenery changed dramatically from seas of green lush grasses, to more brown wheat style grasses with high mountains off in the very far distance, deep down he knew he was close. He pats his horse and says "come on Diablo we gotta keep our eyes open boy, this ain't a good feelin"

Changing course to the south a bit to follow a river bed stopping in a shady recluse to refill his canteen and let Diablo rest for a little while, he drifts off into a nap. Upon opening his eyes he hears a twig crackle. his heart begins to race, saying oh no their here....

He quietly draws his gun, and rolls over slowly behind the rock he was propped up on, seeing a single female, covered in scantily clad deer skin materials to cover her extremities....gulping as his heart races faster, yet he's frozen not sure of what he needs to do...racing through his mind...Do I shoot her, do I slit her throat? Do I take her with me? She can't see me, or I'm a dead man...or if she sees me I have to do something...As the native walks away carrying a skin flask of water she pads off through the light woods and down the hill out of sight......he leans against against the course cold rock sighing out of relief...phew, I gotta get out of here...and fast....where there is one...there is more....they catch me I'm dead he says to himself.. He crawls his way to Diablo, and pulls himself up on his steed and quetly walks the horse out of the area back to the North, following the River...after about a 1/2 a mile he turns the horse to the West to cross the river, which was small but deep and wide enough to get the horse to winnie a bit, easy boy he coaxes the horse and they tread through the water. Crossing the river and up the enbankment, he finds himself on the ridge of a massive valley, where he sees thousands upon thousands of bison in one giant herd. seeing smoke chimneys to the south rising from the tree tops know now where the encampment of natives is at....

As he's perched on his horse Johnny looking into the now lowering sun in the sky the figure of another native woman in the grasses picking something...his eyes squinting trying to make out what he sees.......

She glanced up as her father approached her. She had spent the entire morning skinning and cutting buffalo the men of the tribe had killed in an early morning hunt. The sun had beat down relentlessly throughout the day, baking the grasses that covered the hilly territory and turning them brown- which was where she got her name, Kiona, "brown grass".

"Daughter, take a break" her father said in his deep voice, their guttural language rolling easily from his tongue. "You have worked too hard today".

Since her father was chief of their small tribe, Kiona was not required to work as hard as the other women in the tribe, however she chose to, feeling like she needed to do her share.

"I am fine, father" she said, standing and wiping a bit of sweat from her brow. The sun, although it was lower in the sky now, was still potently hot. "I do not mind the work".

Her father shook his head and pointed towards the plains. "Go, take a walk. I know how you enjoy to watch the sun sink below the land".

A pearly white smile split her face as Kiona nodded. Her father was right. There was something magical about this time of day, in her eyes. She briefly hugged the giant man who was her father, and then started off across the land.

She glided, nearly silent, through the knee-high grasses, ignoring the tugs of the grass on her buckskin dress. The buffalo herd stood to her west, silhouetted by the setting sun. A few snorted anxiously at her close proximity, but didn't move since she didn't seem to be a threat to them at the time.

Eventually she veered towards the east a bit, away from the herd. She startled a few whitetail deer and smiled as she watched them bound away, tails flicking, flashing their brilliant white undersides.

Something laying on the ground glinted in the sunlight, and curious she walked over to it, bending to pick it up. She recognized the item as what the white men called a bullet. It was, she remembered, their version of an arrow. Alarmed, she glanced around quickly.

Were there white men around? Or had this been left here from some time ago?

Gracefully she stood, looking up onto the ridge, her sharp eyes taking in everything she saw. A light gasp escaped her lips. There, almost hidden by the trees, but not quite. There was a white man atop a huge horse, watching her.

Fear spiked through her. She was out here alone, with no weapon. Her tribe's camp was too far away for them to hear or see her. With that thought in mind she turned to flee. She couldn't trust the white man. Stories told that they killed without hesitation.

Kiona was fast, as she whipped through the tall grasses, but down here there was nowhere to hide. No clumps of trees were close enough to hide in. Terror pulsed through her veins as she ran.
 
Seeing the shadowed figure in the field made his heart race knowing that she had seen him...."shit" he exclaimed...paniced he thrust his boot into the side of Diablo, and snapped the reigns..."Go boy go" to the horse.

Charging down the small hill, the sunlight falls below the next hill allowing him to see what his intended target was, the most beautfiul woman he's ever seen, for a brief moment he wanted to stop the chase but he knew, he couldn't let her just go, she would tell the others of his presence and they would hunt him down.

His heart pounding out of its cavity he charges the horse right up to her, as he leaps from the moving horse he tackles her sending them to the ground rolling over a couple of times, his hardened body landing on top of her....feeling her fight him with punches and kicks....he quickily draws his gun and presses the barrell to her face, not sure what language she spoke he gave the symbol of "shhhh...his finger vertically covering his bloody lip, feeling her continue to squirm he pulls the hammer bak on the large handgun as she lays still......

Feeling her lay still, he feels her supple body below him, and he gazes into her eyes, seeing something different...not quite sure what he sees, but it's different than what he's seen in other females in his past.

Not trusting her one bit, leans slightly over her, reaching he grasps grassclumps and wraps them around her hands securing themtieing them into knots so she can't get free....he repeats for her ankles...as she starts to scream, he immediately presses his hand over her mouth, and shoves the gun to her head again...."Look shut up, I don't want to hurt you" he whispers to her. "If you scream one more time I will put a bullet through your head." as he withdraws his hand from her mouth, he grasps some straw and shoves it in her mouth to keep her quiet....

Standing bck up, he knows he MUST get out of here and FAST, not sure exactly where to go....he bends down and scoops the beautiful Indian girl and sets her on his horse, as he then jumps up int the saddle...kicking the horse accelerating through the meadow and over the hill to the west. As nightfall approached, he stopped the horse just outside a large forested base of a mountain, nothing else in sight, the stars were twinkling bright. He makes a base camp, and starts a fire to keep them warm, and to heat his small carefully making them some food, beans was the delicasy

He removed the straw still wedged in her mouth, he gestured for her to relax and not do anything hasty. He lifts a spoon to her chin with some freshly cooked beans on it...watching her....waiting....as a smile forms on his face hoping to reassure her that she is ok and not to be harmed.
 
Kiona ran harder as she heard the sound of hoof beats fast approaching her from behind. She was closing in on a small clump of trees. But she didn't make it that far. Suddenly she felt a massive weight strike her from behind, sendig her crashing to the ground, pain shooting through her entire body from the jolt. She cried out as the man landed on top of her.

She was about to scream again when suddenly he had, what she thought was called a gun, pressed against her cheek. The metal was cold and hard as it bit into her tender flesh. He hushed her and she began to kick and thrash beneath him. Before she could stop him, he had tied her hands and feet together and she couldn't even move.

Fear pounded through her veins as she realized she had been captured by a white man. He was going to kill her she knew it. Tears of anger pricked her eyes am she glared silently up at him as he threatened to kill her if she wasn't quiet.

The man tossed her upon his horse and rode off swiftly. She was thankful she was skilled at riding horses so she could easily keep her balance. They rode until well after dark when he finally stopped as made a camp. The straw in her mouth was threatening to gag her and he finally pulled it out.

She didn't speak. She wasn't sure whether to let him know she understood some English or not but she was thankful a tribe elder had taken the time to teach her

The man was actually kind of handsome for a light skinned man ... He moved about and made beans, then came over to her offering her some. Her mouth remained closed stubbornly and she shook her head no, afraid to trust this man for anything. She was scared she would never again she her tribe. That he would kill her. Her body trembled slightly in fear but she fought hard not to show it.
 
The spoon spills the beans on the floor, I offer one more time this time forcing the food into her mouth, commanding, "look you have to eat", he says

growing frustrated partially at the inability to communicate with her.

He sits next to her and greedily eats some more, smiling at her as if teasing ..see what your missing...making obnoxious nooises as food being devoured. MMMMmmm that hit the spot....

As he finishes he rises and walks to Diablo and grabs his bedroll from the steed, and unrolls it near the warm campfire. Approaching the Indian woman catching the lights sparkle in her eyes and radiate her skin as if making it glow. He pauses looking at her. Holding out both of his hands as if gesturing to her...easy now...not going to hurt you...I am going to make you more comfortable, speaking slowly and very clear in case she does know words... I...am....going....to....loosen...the...straw...on...your...feet...If..you...run...I...will...shoot...you..

all the while doing a hand gesture to show symbol of what he will do....as he unties the grass straws from her ankles...watching her every move...one hand on his firearm.....

in his mind he is hoping he could gain her trust by showing good faith to her....he did find her extremely pretty and wanted to know more...much more about her he thought.
 
Kiona refused to eat. She wouldn't accept anything from this man that had captured her and taken her away from her people. He spoke clearly for her as he went about cutting her feet free. He had no clue that she understood what he was saying.

Kiona watched him with wide, brown eyes, fear reflected in their depths. She wouldn't try to run. Not now. He had weapons. He had a horse. She didn't stand a chance. Maybe if she did as he asked he would let her return home.

She decided finally to tip her hand and speak, in his language.

"What do you want me for?" she spoke, in slow, stilted English, but her voice was high and smooth as she spoke, confident of the words.

Her eyes followed his every move, like prey watching its predator, ready to dart at any given moment.
 
stumbling back , surprised at her ability to understand him..."so...so you speak my language?" he said slowly.....

I didn't want to take you, he said to her. I had to. You would have told your people about me, and they'd have hunted me down. Which they still might, but at least I have something they want, so hopefully they won't kill me.

However, now that I see you and know you can speak my language, what is your name? I am Johnny...Johnny Mac....He sat there speaking to her, and then pulled out his harmonica and played her some tunes....watching her and smiling at her
 
Kiona listened to his explanation. It was true. She would have told her people and the would have hunted him down. Her people didn't trust a white man which is why she was terrified to be all alone with one.

He introduced himself and asked her name. She hesitated. Should she tell him? She didn't see the harm.

"Kiona" she said quietly. She watched as he began to play music on an instrument she had never before experienced. The music had a lonely wail to it that made her ache to be at home with her people.

"I want to go home. I won't tell them of you. Please" she whispered, her doe-like eyes pleading with him as much as her voice was.

She shifted and tried to move her wrists a bit to ease the ache forming there from the bindings.
 
glancing over at her, playing his harmonica, a brief pause, "Kiona, lovely name you have." he says.

I wish it were that simple though. What do you have to offer me, so that I can believe you won't tell your people of me? I need a guarantee he said...

Watching her adjust her wrists in the bindings...well darling, those are NOT coming off....sorry to say.....I must say though....I have never seen anything as beautiful as you. Of what Indian tribe have I stumbled upon? What's your position in the tribe he asks inquisitively....crawling over he reaches for a piece of wood to toss on the flame...and placing a steel pot on the center of the fire, pouring water from his canteen in it....adding some ground up cofee into it...sitting back listening to her...
 
Kiona felt herself blush when the white man, Johnny, called her beautiful. He asked of what tribe she was and she told him that she was part of a small band of Chickasaw Indians. She didn't argue about her wrists. She knew he couldn't trust her just as she couldn't trust him.

"What must I do to go home?" She questioned quietly.

The firelight cast multiple shadows over the both of them in the quiet night. Even though the day had been a scorcher, the night was rapidly cooling and Kiona shivered slightly, despite the fire before her.
 
Listening to her answers to some of the questions, he comtinued playing his harmonica, to a tune of Old Suzanna.....

He stops playing, and looks at her, just as a switch goes off and turns him into something different than he was...like a Dr Jeckyl Mr Hyde... what must you do to go home....well let's see here...judging that you are over a day travel on horseback, and you don't seem to have a horse, and I am not giving you mine...well I reckon that about answers that.

Now unless you decide you want to give yourself up to me....then again...I could just take you too....grinning evilly...lifting and looking up your buckskin skirt....oooooOOO wee girl, you are looking fine up under there........dragging my tongue over your neck, tasting your sweet flesh....mmmmmmm woman you taste mighty fine....

Oh don't worry woman....You're in reeeaall good hands ...chuckling at her,....as long as you relax and enjoy yourself...you won't get hurt....

So yea now you know what you must do to go home :)...smiling at her and blowing warm moist breath in her ear.....giving her a soft moan....

Settling back down he tips his hat over his head trying to catch some shut eye before dawn...knowing they have a long ride ahead of them.
 
Kiona watched as Johnny put down his harmonica. A strange look seemed to come in his eyes and she shrank back from him a bit. He smiled at her, but it wasn't a friendly smile by any means and her heart began to thrum in fright again.

His words confirmed her fears. He wasn't going to let her go. She had no means of travel, and no way to defend herself- against him or anything else. Before she knew it the man had rounded the campfire and was directly beside her. His next words struck terror in her heart.

He wanted her to give herself to him or he would take her.. She knew what that meant and trembled violently at the thought of it. In her tribe, women only allowed their partner to have those pleasures, and since she had not yet found a life partner, she had never done anything of the sort.

"You... You can't do that" she whimpered as the man lifted her skirt. His mouth was traveling over her throat and neck as he spoke. He moaned once and then pulled away, settling down once again and pulling his hat over his eyes. Kiona sat there quietly, thinking.

She had to escape. She didn't know how or when, but she couldn't stay with this man. She couldn't trust him not to hurt her...
 
His hat covering his eyes, he knew he scared her this time....He wants her scared...he wants her to fear the feelings she doesn't know yet,....he wants her to fear his attraction to her.....

Maybe the fear will keep her here he thinks....but the vivid memory of her heat under that buckskin skirt....well...makes him shudder in excitement....god he wated to fuck this indian...she was so sweet and juicy...

Licking his lips....he rises agian his intentions innocent in nature seem horrificly scary....he grabs her and pulls her to his bed roll....lays her closer to the fire....as he forces himself in behind her snuggling into her squirming body....look just relax....if I wanted to hurt you, I'd have done it by now...he says...

draping his arm around her and inhaling her scent as they lay there going to sleep keeping each other warm in the night air.....
 
Kiona was startled when the cowboy rose abruptly and grabbed her arm. She fought back momentarily but ceased to struggle after a few seconds because she knew it was worthless... He was much stronger.

The man pulled her into his bedroll and moved close behind her. She could feel the hard muscles of his body pressed against her and shivered in both appreciation and fear. He told her to relax, he wasn't going to hurt her, but that was easier said than done so she lay there stiffly, wrapped in his arms.

Eventually the flicker of the fire, and the warmth of his body were enough to lull her into a very light sleep, but it was a fitful one. She relaxed into his embrace and, at some point in the night, unconsciously turned in his arms so that her face was presse against his strong chest.
 
Feeling her body pressed against his, sighed to himself, longing for something more, yet unknowing who, how, and when. As he felt her barely covered tight butt rub against him, he felt slightly turned on, his tight pants bulging at the zipper from her wriggling around.

Falling asleep himself his strong masculine arm draped around her caressing her in his sleep, when he felt her movement rolling over to face him burying her face into my chest awoke to see what she was doing. Seeing she was solidly asleep and very comfortable with him his free hand rose up and caressed running his fingers through her hair, watching her ever so peacefully sleeping, quiet like a baby. The feeling toward her changing from his earlier transgressions, to more softer, he knew raping this girl was not the answer even though he really wanted to take her...

Feeling her so content to him, he leaned in and softly kissed her dreaming lips, pulled back slightly as his hands slid down to rest upon her firm tight ass, pulling her slightly into him, pressing his leg gently between hers as they lay there in a warm embrace. Sighing to himself contentedly, knowing, he liked this woman more and more with each passing hour. She was practically everything he had ever wanted in a mate and companion...

As the sky lightened early in the morning, he rose softly not to startle the sleeping squa, placing another log in the fire to warm the cold damp morning air. Some how he felt different today than yesterday. he knew he could not keep her in captivity any longer, because eventually they would come looking for their missing tribe member. When they caught him, he knew he would be killed. Carefully he sat there contemplating how he could get out of the predicament he was in.

Suddenly it occurred to him, what if he took her back and claim he had rescued her from some bandits, he thought...What if he went back to them telling them the truth...no he'd be killed...What if, he never took her back and fled to California, he wondered how long before they would track him down....his thoughts consuming him.... as he broke his thinking, pouring a cup of coffee from the steel pot... he rose and quietly, took out his knife...

I know he said to himself, I'll let her decide what she wants to do...he slipped the knife into the bindings around her wrist and cut them away...Well, if she runs...she runs...if she stays then I know she likes me for sure...and we'll figure out our way together then...or alone...raising his firm body from above her, he sat back down and continued drinking his coffee, watching her smiling as he sipped..
