About this ebook
Dragging her towards the clearing he took out his knife. "Now maybe I'll be doing my own scalping!"
Rose tried to struggle, but the man's grip on her hair was too strong. She felt him forcing her to her knees. He was bringing the knife to her head!
Suddenly a rifle shot rang out. The bullet caught the huge man in the shoulder. He dropped his knife, but he managed to swing Rose around with his other arm to face his antagonist.
She could see someone on the other side of the clearing. Her heart was beating fast. It was her father!

Prologue
George appears and creates havoc at the schoolhouse where the flood has forced everyone to gather. Rose must find him and send him on his way before anyone discovers he is Mrs. Stone’s Ghoul.
1 Cabin Fever
The people at Sloan's cabin continued to be busy. They managed to patch the bridge enough to bring the Mc Kissens across, but now they were building a more permanent one.
Rose had arrived very exhausted and continued to sleep for five days. She woke at times when her mother forced her to drink Mrs. Stone's broth. Rose could barely hear her mother through the fog surrounding her. She was talking to Doctor Richardson.
She's come down with influenza,
Mrs. Donovan said. Caught up in that weather with her clothes wet.
It may not be that,
Doctor Richardson said. I think we've just worn the poor girl out. She's not had a good night's sleep for days now. I know how I feel, and she's been through a lot more.
But her arm,
Mrs. Donovan said, It looks infected!
I've seen worse,
Doctor Richardson said, Mrs. Stone's herbs are helping to take the swelling down. She's going to have scars, though. There's no helping that.
Mrs. Donovan dropped a tear, She's so young to have scars, Doctor.
There's scars and then there's scars, ma'am,
Doctor Richardson said. She happens to have the scars of a mountain lion. Few can say that.
Rose began to feel the pain in her arm and felt herself drifting off. It hurts something awful,
she said to no one in particular. Maybe she was talking to Mary Beth beside her. Did she fall asleep and wake up again?
I'm sorry it hurts so bad,
Mary Beth said. Do you want to sleep some more?
Rose struggled through the pain, How long have I been asleep?
Five days now,
Mary Beth said. Your mother's worried that you might have influenza.
Rose sat up and looked around. She noticed the new bandage on her left arm and hand. It continued to hurt enough to keep her awake. Mary Beth had a similar one on her left arm. I guess we're a pair,
she said.
Mary Beth smiled, Mine's coming off today, but it will leave a scar Doctor Richardson said.
Mine too,
Rose said. I heard them talking.
You're a hero you know,
Mary Beth said. The Mc Kissens can't stop talking about you. I think they feel a little responsible for you being so sick.
They rowed me back here,
Rose said quietly. It's me who should be thanking them.
She pushed herself up more on her pillow.
The flood has crested.
It has?
That's what everyone is saying,
Mary Beth continued, But it will be weeks before we see our house again.
How far has it gone down?
Rose asked finding a new position that didn't hurt.
Some say a foot, but I can't see any difference. It's still water for miles.
Mrs. Donovan noticed that her daughter was awake and brought her some broth. It's nice to see that you decided to join the world again.
Mary Beth said I've been asleep for five days.
Mrs. Donovan dropped to her knees and gave Rose a hug. Yes, you gave us all quite a scare.
She quickly wiped the tears that were starting to flow. She handed the broth to Mary Beth. Here, she should drink all of it to get her strength back.
Standing, she brushed herself off. If you feel like eating something solid later, I saved some potatoes out for you.
Suddenly the door opened, and Captain Bollinger entered followed by Mrs. Stone. She immediately took his arm once he was through the door. He stopped a moment to cough and wipe his mouth.
Mrs. Donovan became very nervous. She turned quickly and walked towards him. I hope the outside air did you good,
she said. Is Doctor Richardson coming back? Rose is awake now. I want him to look at her.
He'll be along,
Captain Bollinger replied. He went with the others to check the flood level. He wanted to be sure the water was receding.
Mrs. Donovan stopped in front of him, I certainly hope so.
We all do, Mrs. Donovan,
he said and stood there a moment before continuing. Then looking her straight in the eye, It is time we were realistic. We all know the food stores are used up. It was very generous of you and your husband to share your winter stores, but it is time to consider the cows.
No!
Mrs. Donovan said and stiffened her back. We will not be taking the milk from the children.
Ma'am, it is time for them,
he said patiently.
You still have your horses!
She said defiantly. You can eat them!
You know the horses are of greater value.
Not to the children!
She insisted. It will be your horses first!
It has already been decided,
he said softly. It will be the cows next.
"You didn't ask the women and children,
