Autumn and Wildfire came out of the cave and greeted Tepe. Wildfire was still on crutches but that was not keeping her away from the mine.

 

"I trust you are here to pick up your fair share of the wealth," Wildfire said. Autumn rolled her eyes.

 

"What Amanda means," Autumn said, "is 'Won't you stay a little?' I apologize for my sister's inability to speak English."

 

"I knows well to tawk eengleesh," Wildfire slurred, grinning at her sister. Autumn rolled her eyes again.

 

"It's near noon," Autumn said. "Won't you stay for a meal? After that, we can get to business."

"I will stay if you wish, but we must hurry. I have hired some menn from the town to help me repair the ranch next to the entrance and I need to cash the chameleon stones in the bank before they get here. But well... If you invite me for a meal, why should I reject" Tepe grinned in the end of his sentence and jumped off from Orion. He tapped Orions back and led it to a pole near a water pool. He tied Orion to the pole and whispered something to it. He walked to the O'Reiley sister's

Wildfire and Autumn led the way into a nearby hut, where it appeared that they had been expecting a third person for the meal. They certainly had enough food. The meal was over quickly and they went into the mine.

 

It looked like a silver mine, but Tepe knew better. He had seen what these stones could do.

 

"There's only one problem," Autumn said. "We don't know for sure how big the mine is. It could go much deeper into the mountain. We can't divide it properly until we know for sure. If you could help us in the mining process, you'll get your fair share sooner."

 

She looked around and turned to Wildfire. "Amanda, I'm going into town to get some more supplies. Keep trying to get Tepe to stay and help us out."

 

Wildfire nodded and grinned as Autumn went to her horse. From there, she went out of the valley into the desert that was the Wild West. She didn't know how the valley managed to keep so green, but she didn't care. She loved the valley and was glad it was so isolated.

 

As Autumn rode into town, she realized that there were a few people watching her with unfriendly eyes. She shifted slightly in her saddle and did her best to ignore them. Then, she rode up to the general store and went in to get what she needed.

Tepe looked at the walls of the mine. "Spectacular... But... I must go. I need to get the ranch up. When it is ready, you shall have a safe time ahead" Tepe turned to Wildfire. "You remember when we were younger? We allways competed and never 'got along' as some said" Tepe laughted and smiled. "Now llook at us... We have change a hole lot. Bye for now, Wildfire. I shall come later when I have the ranch under control" Tepe said and left. He rode to the abandoned ranch just before the men got there.

 

*Time warp*

 

Tepe sits down on a rock near the river. He is after a long week relaxing. He has built some new fences to the ranh, helping to rebuild it and then came to the valley to help the O'Reiley's to mine deeper and search the allready mined parts. He saw a horse come closer. He looked at the horse and saw it was Wildfire's. Tepe turned back to the river and turned the small rock in his hands before throwing it to the water.

 

((Hope you don't mind :p ))

((Not at all))

 

"McDagger!" Wildfire called. "I've come without Autumn for now since the mine can't be left untended. As you know, people have been looking for it ever since the chameleon stones started popping up in stores and such."

 

She noted his look of concern for Autumn. "Don't worry. I've been teaching her to use a gun, but she is very good at throwing knives. She also has a sword, but I'm not sure where she got it. Wherever it came from, she is very good with it."

( no one wants my help :( )

" hmm, seems this town has very little to fear, i guess i have no work here"

* Eric rides out of the town and keeps riding as fast as he can, until gets thirsty and stops by a stream in the middle of nowhere, but sees it leading to mountains*

" very unusual, rivers don't head to mountains unless there is a passage through them, i'll take a look"

* eric follows the river until he reaches a tunnel in which the river flows into*

" hmm, i wonder where this leads"

* eric follws the tuneel, and he eventually reaches the outdoors, but by the it is night, he can make out a very very green valley surrounded by mountains for miles*

" looks liek anice place, i'll camp here for the night"

*eric unpacks his tent and buoilds a fire, then doeses off*

((Ah, we'll just let him get away with it. He's proven that he really wants to be a part of this.))

 

Autumn snaps awake as a faint glow filters through the windows of the cabin. Very silently, she creeps over to the window and looks out. Her face pales as she realizes that someone has found his way into the valley! In an instant, she is dressed and takes her gun in one hand and her sword in the other.

 

She slips quietly out of the cabin and walks quietly down to the man's camp. In a flash, she places her sword at his neck and aims her gun for his head.

 

"You move, you're dead," she says as he begins to get up. He freezes where he is and stares up at Autumn, very confused.

 

"You've got some explaining to do," she says. "Why are you here?"

Wildfire laughed in response to Tepe's question.

 

"Would I be on a horse if I hadn't been healing properly?" she questions.

Wildfire laughed. "And in my head, I thought, 'Can this kid be the one who has tamed 27 horses in these last 4 days?' Later, I found that you had tamed 7 more in the last 3 days."

 

She sighed. "Back then, I didn't have my nickname yet. Everybody called me Amanda." She laughed again. "Now, only Autumn still holds to that. To everyone else, I'm Wildfire, the hot-headed sharpshooter who just took out Royce Peel, the top gun." Shaking her head sadly, she sat down next to Tepe.

 

"I'm tired of it," she told him. "That's why I fought Peel for the mine. I wanted the valley, not the chameleon."

"Amanda, your not a bad persson or short-tempered. You just have your own style. I was back then just a kid taming horses for fun. Now I don't know hwo I am. Some say I'm a robber, some say I should be a sheriff... I know that I want to be a ranch owner and keepr, but still I don't know..." Tepe looked Wildfire and smiled a very small smile.

Amanda (Yes, I called her Amanda) smiled. "Both of us have been attracting attention in our lives. Now, we just want to settle down below the 'attraction seekers', but it won't be easy."

 

On impulse, she suddenly said, "Why don't you build your ranch in the valley? There's plenty of room and the chameleon stones will give you more than enough money for the supplies."

Amanda was surprised at Tepe's movement and began to resist. Her resistance didn't last long before she kissed him back. They pulled out of the kiss together, both feeling slightly embarrased.

 

"Whoa," Amanda muttered to herself, keeping her voice low enough that Tepe couldn't hear. She smiled and stood.

 

"I had better get back to the valley," she said. "Autumn will be wondering what's taking me so long."

 

She got up on her horse in a hurry and waved goodbye to Tepe. When she was out of his sight, she brought a hand up to her lips, thinking of what had just happened.

 

"He's a good kisser, that's for sure," she told herself. Then, she laughed and continued on her way back to the valley.

Tepe smiled as he looked at Amanda riding away. He laughed and then rode into the town to get some tools to start working for the ranch.

 

*Small time warp*

 

Tepe hammered the last nail into the wood. He sat down onto the pole next to him. He had made a hut next to the river, fences and a barn. Now he was only missing the animals that would arrive in a few days from the other side of wild west

"Tepe!" Amanda called. He turned to look at her and she walked over to him. "Every time I look out my window, I'm glad you decided to build your ranch here."

 

((Sadly, we left Curt-Man's character behind again. Let's just say that he is still in the valley and Autumn is trying to get him to talk. She isn't threatening his life with her gun and sword any more, but she still wants to know what he's doing there.))

Amanda grinned and nodded. She looked into the sky, observing the placement of the sun.

 

"I have to go into town again," she said, rolling her eyes. He understood immediately. People were beginning to suspect that she had found the chameleon mine and they were looking for it. She had to alert the sheriff and get him to do something about it.

"I'll come with you" Tepe said and whistled. Orion rode next to him and Tepe jumped on the back of the horse. He smiled at Amanda. "Better get Wildfire back up, Amanda... It's going to get thought from here" Tepe said and so they rode into the town that was going throught a hurricane because of the chameleon stones popping up somewhere.

Amanda made a face and called for her own horse. Shadow came running immediately and Amanda swung up onto his back.

 

"I have come to hate Wildfire," she said. "She is everything I don't want to be."

 

They rode into town and were met with several unfriendly stares. A man came and stood in their path and Amanda moved Shadow to go around the man. He lunged and grabbed Shadow's reins.

 

"Let go, please," Amanda said. The man laughed and refused. Suddenly, Amanda's eyes turned cold. Wildfire was back. "Remove your hand or I'll remove it for you."

 

He refused again and she slid off Shadows back, drawing a long knife as she dropped. In a flash, the knife was out and the man screamed in pain. The knife was dripping with blood. Wildfire stepped forward and wiped the knife on the man's shirt.

 

Wide eyed, he stared at the stump of his arm where he once had a hand. Wildfire turned away and said, "Get to the doctor before you bleed to death."

 

She went into the sheriff's office. "Sheriff, people are continuing their search for the chameleon stone. Some are coming very close to my land and I would like you to do something about it."

 

"Sorry, Miss O'Reiley," he said politely. "I'm afraid that land has been reposessed by the government. It's no longer yours. You'll have to move."

 

"What??" she snapped. "Greedy government! It wants all the wealth in the country and will stop at nothing to get it." She straightened. "Well you can tell the government that I won't go along with it. We will do everything we possibly can to keep that land."

 

She stalked out of the building and was stopped by another man.

 

"You killed my brother," he said. "I'm here to pay you back."

 

"Do you have a name?" Wildfire demanded. "I prefer to avoid shooting nameless people."

 

"Tyler Peel, younger brother of Royce Peel," the man replied. Wildfire nodded. In a flash, Tyler's gun came out. Wildfire's was faster and Tyler's gun dropped as he stared down at his chest where a hole now ran directly through his heart.

 

Wildfire called for Shadow to come and got on his back. Tepe caught up with her and was just in time to witness a change in her. Wildfire slipped away and Amanda came back.

 

"Why must the government do this to us?" she said, nearly in tears. "Must they take everything of any great value?"

 

She sighed. "I'm tired of the world, so greedy and insensitive. All I want is to live quietly without anyone paying attention to me. Will the government ever allow that?"

 

Wiping her tears away, she rode on toward the valley.
