I first met Dan Fields on a freezing winter night. His huge black dog had me pinned down so that I couldn’t run like my two friends had done. My gimpy leg and empty belly put me at a disadvantage and I was caught trying to drag off a sack of food. I know now that it was the best thing that could have happened to me. My friends ended up dead. I later found them by tracking their energy trails. They had been shot in the head by Dillon Yates, the evil Yankee officer who had captured us in 1861 and lured us here. We were supposed to be paid in gold as part of the private militia meant to hunt down his cousin, Dan.
Miss Allie, Dan’s lady, treated me real well and healed me. Dan and Allie saved my life and now I look up to them and try to copy them in every way I can. Though Dan has been in this world less than a year and says he was as scared as me at first, he’s now confident and thriving.
Dan talks a lot about his granny who has passed over. So I was taken aback when she appeared in our lives. Granny spotted me right off. She knew I could see her, although she never spoke to me as she did to Dan. Sometimes she appeared with a large white wolf at her side. She knew I had some power, though not as great as her own. Dan knew it too and asked me to track Dillon by following his dark energy.
Later, when Uncle Liam wanted me to use my powers to help fight off Dillon’s militia, I agreed wholeheartedly. Although I could see the extent of Dillon’s evil, I was no longer afraid of him. I was now part of a family and had a place in this new world. (Rebel Traveler – Pages 177-186, 199, 201-205, 214, 218, 221-222, 231-37)
