SMITH. Girl! Girl! You must not go! The braves will know you warned us!
POCAHONTAS. They will not know, white chief. At midnight they were to
leave the camp. I will get back by that time.
SMITH. It is midnight now. They have missed you by this time,
Pocahontas.
POCAHONTAS. What shall I do? What shall I do?
SMITH. You must stay with us.
POCAHONTAS. I cannot leave my father, white chief.
[_She starts to go._]
SMITH. You must not go! The braves will not let you live! I fear your
father could not save you from them!
[_Enter_ ROLFE, _running._]
ROLFE. To the fort! To the fort! The Indians are upon us! To the fort!
SMITH. Come, Pocahontas! There is our fort across the road. You will be
safe in there.
POCAHONTAS. How can I leave my father!
[_Enter_ MEN, WOMEN, _and_ CHILDREN, _running. They enter the fort._]
SMITH. Come, Pocahontas! Come!
[_He leads her into the fort just as the_ INDIANS _creep in from the
forest. They see Pocahontas and rush at her, but Rolfe shuts the
gates._]
BRAVES. Pocahontas! Pocahontas!
MEDICINE MAN. 'Tis Pocahontas who has warned them!
BRAVES. Yes, yes! 'Tis Pocahontas!
MEDICINE MAN. Do you hear that, Chief Powhatan?
POWHATAN. I hear.
A BRAVE. She has betrayed her own people!
SECOND BRAVE.
