Away From Home

Chapter 7

The years have come and gone, Jason was now in his twenty's. He never did forget his parents, all he wants to do is leave and go back home.

 It was a nice sunny day on the reservation, in the store there was a well-dressed woman, she was asking everybody in there if they knew a boy named Jason. They all said no politely of course. But this one man was being rude, saying, "why is a white woman looking for an Indian boy, he is probably burning homes or killing right now." Jason heard the entire ruckus and walked inside.

"Leave her alone," said Jason.

"Why, she is looking for an Indian kid, a white lady, looking for an Indian, said the man. "I was only helping her out."

"No, you were being rude, and not respecting her," said Jason.

"What do you know about respect injun?" asked the man.

"My mother told me," said Jason.

"I didn't know an Indian woman knew about respect," laughed the man.

Yellow Star walks inside and said,

"Jason let's go," said Yellow Star firmly.

So he walked out, Martha quickly ran out of the store and yelled.

"Son!" shouted Martha.

"Mom," whispered Jason.

Yellow Star looked at Jason and nodded her head and walked home.

"Son, I am glad to see, you have grown," said Martha.

"Thank you mom, when can I come back home?" asked Jason. 

"When you're ready to come home, we'll be waiting," said Martha getting on her horse and riding away.

Jason walked back to Sky Woman's house and went in.

"Did you fight that man?" asked Lone Walker.

"No, your sister came inside," said Jason.

"Oh," said Lone Walker.

They started eating, it was late and they cleaned up and went to bed.

As they were sleeping the door on the house started to open and walked in a stranger, he was trying to be quiet but Jason heard him. So he got up and grabbed an object and hit the man over the head and fell down making a noise. It woke Sky Woman.

"What happened, is everyone alright?" asked Sky Woman frantically.

"Yes, I'm fine, he tried to steal from you?" asked Jason. "Do you know who he is?"

"No, I don't," said Sky Woman.

"I'll get the Sheriff, here take this, if he wakes up, hit him over the head," said Jason.

He ran out of the house and knocked on the Sheriff's door.

"Sheriff, somebody broke into Sky Woman's home, he is on the floor, I knocked him out," said Jason.

So the Sheriff went with Jason to arrest the man that broke into Sky Woman's house.

"Alright up you go, you're going to jail tonight," said the Sheriff.

"Thank you, Sheriff," said Jason.

"Your welcome sonny, and goodnight," said the Sheriff.

"Goodnight," said Jason.
