Jones Farm Savages
1. The Way Home
He saw the wooden fortifications appear between the hills and the thirty cavalryman spurred their horses for a final time. Soon their week long patrol was over. He saw the gate open and heard the trumpet announce their return. He was back at Camp Fortitude, his home for over two years now.
Inside, Corporal James Jones got dismissed, jumped off his horse and gave it to the stable boy. After a good meal in the mess hall, he fell tired in his bunk bed and slept until the next morning. Then the trumpet disturbed his sleep and he woke up. He grabbed his gear and in two minutes he wore his uniform and looked presentable, besides from his unshaven rugged face and the wild unkempt dark hair.
After the morning service, the mail was handed out and James was surprised when he received a letter from his mother. He had a complicated relationship with his parents. His mother wanted for him to stay at home and his father was a priest who condemned violence. He had not heard of them since he had left the family farm.
He took the letter outside into the sun and picked a quiet spot to read it. His mother wrote him in short words that his father was on his deathbed, and she asked him to pass this message along to his older brother Adam, who had left the farm to be a missionary among the natives.
After James had digested the news, he stood up and went to the office of Captain Rupert, his commanding officer. He knocked at the open door and after a loud "Come in" he stepped into the room. Captain Rupert was a small, but stern looking man with a nicely groomed mustache, sitting behind a desk which looked too big for him. The walls were decorated with hunting trophies.
"What do you want, Corporal?" asked Rupert, giving James only a glance.
"My mother sent me a letter, Sir. My father is deathly ill. I would like to visit him," answered James.
"How old is the letter?"
"Three weeks," said James.
Captain Rupert studied the map in front of him. James stood still. After a while Rupert gave James a scrutinizing look.
"Alright, my son," he said.
He wrote something on a small piece of paper and signed it.
With a lazy movement he hold it up and said, "I give you two months."
When James reached out with his hand to take it, Rupert pulled it back and looked James in the eyes.
"You better be back or the army will hunt you as a defector and put you on the rope," Rupert said, giving him the slip.
"Yes, Sir. Thank you Sir," responded James and left the office quickly.
The next day, when James rode through the gates, he wore his uniform, the only clothes he owned. His saddlebags were filled with rations, ammunition for his weapons and other supplies. He had a long trip ahead.

The sunset light fell upon the trees, rendering the peaks golden. The seven tents stood next to a small river, with clean and quick water. A mighty wooden cross stood in the center of the settlement, rising to the sky.
A young girl stepped out of one of the tents. With quick steps she reached a small pool of water, that the river had filled between big rocks. Without any hesitation she stripped out of her white cotton dress. She stretched herself and there she stood in her full glory.
Her beautiful face was dominated by her big eyes and the full lips. Braided thick black hair was falling down onto two lovely boobs, just enough for a handful. Her body was slim, built to run and hunt, long legs and a bottom, perky as they come. The skin glowed caramel brown in the setting sun.
She jumped into the pool, splashing the water around. She settled down on a stone below the surface, and leaned back. With closed eyes she began to clean herself, when she touched her boobs, she lingered a little longer than necessary.
And when she reached her pussy, she begun to rub. Her breath became faster, and she began to moan.
"Tama!" she heard her mother call for her. Reluctantly she stopped, not satisfied.
Kimeya stood in front of the tent, watching her daughter. Her body was covered in long bulky leather dress, decorated with feathers and seashells. Her face was strong and the black hair still thick and silky.
"Tama, now!" she called sharply.
Although her daughter was born over 18 summers ago, she still felt the need to command her daughters life. Tama was her only child. After Tama's father Matoskah died in battle, she did not take a new partner, because she never met a warrior, who could come close to Matoskah in terms of heart and spirit.
And now her daughter was spoken for, and not to a warrior, but to a white man. The white man who told that the spirits of the forest did not exist, and who preached of this man in a far away land. Kimeya did not believe in the new religion, but agreed to follow Adam, the white man, just to be close to her daughter and to watch her. Tama's wedding day was set on the next full moon, and Kimeya still hoped, that she could marry her to a warrior and not to a useless preacher.

The forest grew thinner and James could see the river downhill. In the distance he saw the small settlement, that the two native woman just had pointed out to him. They had told him, that there was a preacher named Adam, so after twelve days of searching he finally had found his brother. One of the woman, the younger one, wore a cross on a necklace. James thanked the two woman and rode over the dusty hill slope towards the camp. After a while he could see in the distance the big cross in the middle of the settlement. Below it, there was a crowd of people. He couldn't see his brother, but he was certain Adam was there.
Suddenly the high pitched war cries of an small group of natives cut through the air, and near the settlement six warriors rode full speed towards the camp. James could identify his brother now, dressed in black clothes, as he stepped towards the warriors with open hands.
"Nooo," yelled James and spurred his horse.
His eyes were glued to his brother, who stood fearless in front of his flock, protecting his followers from the savage warriors. The warriors seemed at first to ignore his brother, riding around him towards the tents, firing arrows in to the gathered crowd. But the last warrior didn't ignore Adam, he rode straight to him and rammed his tomahawk in an upward motion into Adams chest, cutting his guts open. He stopped his horse, and saw down on his victim, the tomahawk still where he had put it, surrounded by blood and intestines. A smile was visible on the face of the savage, just before his brain splattered out of his skull.
James lowered his rifle, reloaded and spurred his horse. In full speed he rode towards the massacre, firing his rifle repeatedly, killing two more warriors. The warriors had quickly killed the whole unarmed congregation, and now James was the center of their attention. James turned his horse around, his rifle had a superior range compared to their bows. Staying out of their range, he picked up on more kill. Then he turned his horse around, his revolver in his hands. The warriors did not expect that and stopped irritated their horses, giving James all the time he needed, as he unloaded his weapon into their bodies, just as he could clearly see the white in their eyes.
Shaking from the adrenaline, he rode towards the black clothed preacher who was laying in a pool of blood. He was too late. His brother was dead.

James stood in the grave he had dug in front of the cross, as Tama and Kimeya found him. Tama saw Adam who was laying next to the grave, his body covered with some cloth. She rushed to Adam, fell down to her knees and touched his face. James turned around, his revolver in his right hand. He remembered the girl, she was the younger one of the two natives, he had met before the tragic encounter with the savages. Tears were in her eyes, so he lowered his weapon and watched her mourn his brother.
Kimeya stepped up to her daughter, watching the strange man who stood inside the grave. James had taken off his cavalry jacket, and was dressed with a dirty white shirt, his uniform trousers and well worn boots.
"Who are you?" Kimeya asked with a strange pronunciation, her eyes looking into his, almost not visible below his hat.
James holstered his weapon and sat down on a rock.
"He was my brother," he said pointing to Adam. "I'm James."
He looked around until he found his water flask, opened it and drank. Kimeya saw a lot of bodies, all covered with some cloth or other fabric. She probably knew most of them, but as a non believer she always had been an outsider in this missionary camp. She would not cry for them.
"Those Indians over there killed 'em all," James said, disturbing her thoughts.
She looked to the place James pointed to and he could see her body become stiff.
"You knew them?" he asked.
