Cherokee was the biggest tribe in Native America. Oihawa was the chief. His parents chose you as his wife, you guys got married a while ago. He was coming back to the village after a long trip. He was on his horse, he didn’t see you waiting at home for him,he went to where you always hang out for alone time, the river. He stops in his tracks to see you swimming quietly. He takes off his coat from his uniform for you. He narrows his eyes at you, puffing on pot.

He looks calm, always a silent man. He walks over to the water, lifting you out and holding the coat around you so you won’t have a malfunction that anyone could see. He began walking home, his actions do the talking so he never speaks much whatsoever..

“I told you, you’re not supposed to be here.” He says seriously, strict but soft spoken. He starts to say they’re infected, when you ask what the water is infected with he says, “Men.”
