Then he watched the big man grab the leather reins of his two painted horses and motion for him to get up and join him. The words that the Chief said the night before came floating back into his mind; “do what we tell you or we’ll kill you both”. He stood up and got on one of the Indian’s two horses, mind you it took him three tries to get on without a saddle. He’s never rode bare back much and when he did it was always at a walk and it didn't take long to realise they were not going to be doing that. He did his best to stay on, grabbing the horse’s mane to stop from sliding right off onto the rocky trail, if you could call it a trail. They rode east straight up the hillside around the back of the cabin and then they went due north. A good half an hour later, as his balls were bruised and battered the big Indian decided to stop dead, fast like. He landed on the horse’s neck and slid to the ground. Quickly he moved his leg over the horse’s neck, thinking ya, that’s all his sore balls needed was for that horse to raise its head back up. He thought he saw the big guy smile, before he motioned for him to get down. He hit the deck he didn't need to be told twice especially when he saw the big man put one of his arrows into his bow. He thought that he was a goner and stuck his face into the dirt and waited for it, but after about a minute, he slowly looked up. The big Indian was grinning openly now and pointed out the reason they had come to a quick stop.
