His plan had been going so well. The head of the column, led by the two he wished to capture, passed through the narrow part of the trail. His warriors struck at the right moment from their hidden positions in the tall grass. The opposing war party had been effectively cut in two. Crazy Woman and her companion were isolated with a handful of their warriors, and Black Fox’s hidden bowmen swiftly cut the warriors down. He was elated when the bay stallion went down, further fragmenting the party of the warrior woman. Then things began to turn wrong. The girl whirled her horse and returned to help the fallen warrior. Black Fox would never understand how the two had reached the shelter of the woods, riding double on her rawboned gelding. The time lost in hesitation before his charge into the trees had permitted the fugitives to escape. The dead warrior’s body was discovered, and Black Fox’s anger grew. He realized then that both the fugitives were well mounted. There was more delay as the trackers painstakingly searched the opposite bank.
