Blue was still following closely along watching everything he did. He said to the old horse �what is it exactly are we going to do with her once we get to the cabin.� Blue quietly nickered his response in his right ear, which made him smile. His mind went back to that fateful night on the trail north. The group had found a spot to set up camp, he was just getting ready to unsaddle Blue and make himself something to eat, when guns started blasting off around him. People were screaming and running in all directions. He could grin to himself now, as he remembered how he and Blue both planted themselves face first into the damp cold earth, right where they had been standing. He looked back at Blue saying �do you remember when we hit the dirt, huh�, Blue nickered again. �I bet you do remember, I can�t seem to get that night out of my mind, wish I could but it just won�t go away� he reply to his horse. When the shooting stopped that night, someone was screaming and pointing at him saying he shot the sheriff; he looked over to see two of his travelling mates, lying dead not more than ten feet away. Horses took off up the hillside behind him; the rest of the group disappeared leaving their belongings and horses behind. When he stood up, Blue did too, either one of them had a scratch. �I�d like to know where you learned to hit the dirt like that Blue, you are one smart son-of-a-bitching horse, seems to me you must have seen a gun fight or two, aye�. Blue nudged his shoulder.
