It seemed like I had been there for days.. but really it was just until the sun went down.. my leggs were numb by now.. I was singing off key about the plains.. when I heard the sound of thundering hoofs... I started to yollar.. just so no one rode over me.. it was getting dark... When I heard one of my brothers hollar back: I found her!.. I found her!
So I had been missed and it brought a smile to my face.. I heard the thud of the ground as Ord.. jumped off his beast and ran towards me.. He stood for a moment: How in the skies did you manage to do this Yammikins? Well that threw me back for a moment.. as I looked up at him: Do you think we could talk about how after you get me from under this large now smelling dead beast?
Sam and Raven headed over.. and so did Jess and Kalen along with Ord they all tried to pull me from under the dead beast... finally another brother showed up and suggested that they tie the dead beast up and pull him off with the other beast.. Well finally.. as it was pulled off me.. I let out a peep of a scream.. my legs were now throbbing.. As Sam gingerly knelt down and placed his hands along the curve of each leg.. his large hands were feeling for breaks.. but luckily I did not have any. mostly just squished.. and I am sure they would bruise.. but at least I was free..
Now Sam picked me up and placed me over his beast.. and we all rode back to my fathers wagon.. Seems.. he had missed me from the clan fires.. and sent my brothers out to find me.
Someone must had spoken to my father.. because He did not seem quite as angry at me as he normally did.. Or maybe it was because I had been doing things right lately.. Anyway.. I could see tears in his eyes when my brother Sam handed me down to my fathers arms... I winced only because I thought I was going to be punished.. but my father kissed my cheek and hugged me.. telling me he had gotten worried when I had not shown up at the clan fires.. My mother came out of the wagon and made a big fuss... And then had Sam take me back to the 1st fires... and my wagon there.. With some of her stew and bread..
