Brenda decide she have to do back to the grassland. She told Victoria and Gail.

“Where are you two plain to go?”
“We don’t know yet. We can’t stay here for sure, because the Japanese firing with the USSR. Maybe we will go to the far west of China, safer for us as we are looking as same as the Russian” Gail said quietly.

“I should ask you come with me, but I am not sure I will be accept by them.” Brenda said.

“It is alright. We will be fine.” Victoria comes give Brenda a big hug whisper at her ears:” Take care of yourself and the baby, wish we will see each other again.”

“Thank you, you too.” Brenda said with tears.



Brenda is back.
“That foreign woman is back!” The message flies all over the tribe.

“Hi, I am back. I can’t go back to my country, I am pregnant and there is war everywhere. I have to stay for the baby.”
“You can stay.” Bate said very heavy.
“Did you marry that girl?” Brenda ask:” I hope not cause you too much trouble.”
“No, I am the chief now, my father died. I can’t get married for another two or three year, you could stay the yurt next to the lake. It was my dad’s third wife’s yurt. She is dead long time ago.”

He even didn’t ask about the baby at all.

Time fly by, now is third summer since Brenda came to this grassland. Her belly like a big balloon, look like could pop any time.

“Won’t be long, one more month I will see my baby.” Brenda feels so happy. Even after last winter’s big blizzard, this summer’s hail, the tribe had loose most of the heard, but Brenda’s world still soaking in happiness.

Brenda don’t know the SAMAN(man witch) and the whole tribe gathering Bate’s yurt.
“Bate, that foreign woman and her baby are evildoers. Sine her came here, from the blizzard and the hail, we lost most our sheep. Why? Because she is a evildoer so do the baby she carrying. The god anger with us, anger that we let the evildoers stay with us. I said this since the blizzard. But you won’t listen. This year the hail …
Does anybody remember we have these kind catastrophes? No! Our land always peaceful, since that foreign woman came. We never had a relaxing day. Now is blizzard, hail, who knows what will be next. It is the time we use our rules, it is the time you start protect your people. You are the chief after all.”

“It is the time….” Others say.

Bate looked his people, his men. He knows he have no choice, this is not the first time they force him. But this will be the last time. He only has simply say yes. They will do the rest: hang Brenda put fire under her, burn her.

Or another way, he say no to this, then the whole tribe will kill him with slowly stab him one at the time. He can’t simply send her away like last time. Because they need Brenda to hold a memorial ceremony for the god. Specially after the catastrophes.


When the whole tribe people pushed into her yurt, Brenda was sewing a small coat for her baby.

At the evening, Brenda had been hanging up long time; she was screaming for help from bate. She didn’t get any response. She even didn’t see him.
After the ceremony, then that man witch start talking. Brenda had given up. After hours pleased, crying, swearing, she is terrified to unconscious.
She wakes by the hot under her fire. She know now is time to say bye -bye to this
World.
She screams:” No, No, I don’t want to die now. God, god< did you hear me? Please just give me another month, let me finish my job to my baby. Please God! Please….”
