The cabin was cold and a bit damp. The fire had long since gone out in his two day absence. His eyes travelled around the room. Nothing looked out of place. He walked over to the one and only bed and gently laid her down. He un-wrapped her small form to examine her bruised and battered body a little closer. He needed to get that blood covered rank smelling dress off her before doing anything else. He took his knife from its sheath on his belt and cut the rest of the fabric away from her body. She had nothing on underneath it. Her small frame was well formed, she must be older then he originally thought, maybe 18 or so, he guessed. Under all that blood and dirt you must be some kind of a looker, he said to himself. But man she was banged up, he hoped nothing was broken as he quickly checked her out as best he could. He threw the shiny yellow gold dress out the open door, almost hitting his horse. It landed in the dirt beside the small front porch. Blue snorted again at the smell wafting through the clear evening air. He covered her naked form with two clean woollen blankets off the bed and tossed his bed roll she had been wrapped in on the porch too. The smell was disgusting, stinging his nose in the confines of the small one room cabin. He stood up and starred down at her. She needed bathing badly, so he went over to light the fire in the big rock fire place at the back of the small cabin.
