The battle stricken prairie is a sorrowful looking land of despair. MOANING can be heard in the distance of the dying on the field, begging for a quick end, no one is helping them. It’s hell. These plains once belonged to the proud natives, now to no one, and soon to be the soulless English. The woman, trying to redact her consciousness from the recurring battle. She checks her surroundings. WE PAN around the LONG PRAIRIE... ...She is currently sitting on a prairie but to her side is a RIVER that WE CAN HEAR and eventually SEE. ONE SHOT : (CONT ’D from CU and PAN NING) He r first in stinc t is to crawl towards the water. Dehydration. It hurts her to crawl even. Strange, she has no wounds. Maybe broken bones? IN THE DISTANCE (CONT’D) it has become clear there is plenty dead, plenty moaning in agony. SOME we can SEE in the distance. She has to stop for a secon d, it makes h er depressed for a seconds, but dehydration is powerful. Crawls over the sand, rocks and pebbles. She stops. (CONT’D) ...She spots SOMEONE. ...Someone washing BLOOD off them, white skin, first thought to come to her is this is my enemy, BUT he has no weaponry. a SOLDIER for sure, but no danger is present and desperation fills her, desperation to end hydration. She continues her journey to the river not giving a damn. Tearing the clothes and fabric, still not giving a damn. (CONT’D) SHOT WIDENS as HE spots him. Desperation fills him though, fear also quenches HIS eyes as HE spots HER. THE SOLDIER runs in an opposite direction looking for the nearest weapon, NOW the man becomes a threat. The native woman reaches the riverbank, accomplishment fills her as he washes down and gulps the water. SOUNDS leaving her as she’s drinking, as if its he r first time enj oying th e source of water. Already forgotten about the soldier. (CONT’D) But the soldier hasn’t forgotten about him, still in search. Scavenging the dead. He is successful after disgracing a dead Englishmen body, finds a GUN. Rushes up to the native relieving herself of dehydration. He is limping, a wound of some sort. 2.
