Ooc: Okay.....hmmmm, we asked your charrie her name, so she could be with us, which is like, under some trees with some of the mutant deer that we made friends with. There's a female, who is mine, and her baby, who likes Simon. Star all of the sudden surprised us and is now gone with the herd of other mutants. So, yeah!

Star opened her eyes. She was lying in a meadow. It looked as if she was alone, but all the deer were hiding in the meadow. The tall grass was perfect for hiding in. Star went up on her knees and looked around. "BAM!" Someone shot at her! She saw where the bullet hit. She sat down. Someone shot at her? No way! Why would people kill her? But then a gunshot fired again. It hit her. It hit her right in the arm. She screamed. Suddenly, the buck jumped from the tall grass. It ran to Star. She got on it's back. No matter how many gunshot's it heard firing after it, it kept running. It ran and ran. Pain pierced through Star's arm. She moaned in pain, her eyes were glued shut. The buck came to a sudden stop. star fell off and heard the Buck trotting away. She poened her eyes a little bit. "Rooke?" She whispered. Then, she closed her eyes.
Ooc: I'm gonna guess that the buck brought her to Rooke
Ic: Rooke looked down at the girl. Her shoulder was crimson, and blood plastered her shirt to her skin. He jumped off his horse and kneeled next to her. "What the heck happened?" he asked. He tore a piece off his flanel shirt and moved her hand away from her shoulder. He then wrapped the strip of his shirt around her shoulder. "Really, what the heck Star? Was something shooting at you?" But he already knew the answer. The bullet never made it into her shoulder really, it had fallen out.

"Something?" she asked. "It wasn't something. It was someone." She looked ff into the distance. "I hope the buck is okay. He has a soft side you know." She smiled. "He just wants to protect her from hunters." She said sudelny. "Eh didn't want to hurt us. He wanted to help her."
Rooke smiled at Star. Then he looked back at the deer. "Well, tell him that she's safe here with me, and she'll be taken care of very well. He doesn't have to worry," he said. He looked up and saw the buck a distance away. He waved to let him know that he wasn't going to hurt anyone.

"Why would someone shoot me?" Star asked. "I've always been nice to people. I mean, it's not like I have any einimies." She looked around. "Well none that I know of." She closed her eyes and slowly opened them. "It hurts really bad. Do you think I'll heal? Because I have to. I just can't die." She said hopefully.
Rooke laughed. "Of course. You probably won't die. It's not that bad," he said, inspecting it again. "We should wash it though," he observed. He reached behind him and dislodged his canteen from his belt. He slowly and carefully washed Star's wound, and wrapped it again. "There you go. Good as new." He stood and reached out for Star. Why would someone shoot her when she was 12? How could someone do something so drastic and make people hate her already? They probably just thought she was a baby. That's what people on a roundup did sometimes. They shot the babies before they rounded up the parents. He never knew why, but..... Wait! The people from the roundup! They were getting closer! They had to get out of there.

"Thanks for helping me." She said. "Though, the rel help came from the buck, who brought me here." She smiled. She looked behind her, but the buck was gone. "Trust me, he means well. And he knows now your good people. But the main reason he wanted to protect her was because of the people who shot me. He knew they were here."
