The Life Of A Horse

Chapter 15

I wake up right when the sun is rising. Princess and Magic are still sleeping. I suddenly get this really bad itching but as a horse I can't reach it by myself. I'm about to turn into a person so I can fix it when I just decide to rub against a tree. I scratch it and it starts bleeding. Crap I totally forgot about that thing with the chain. I feel something in there and I squeeze my eyes shut and picture Sasha.

Once I change I reach into the back of my neck and pull something out. I wipe the blood off on my shirt and look at it. This is some sort of... Tracker. We are not safe...

...........................................................

I quickly change back and then wake up Magic and Princess. "Quick! Wake up! I found a tracker in my neck. They will find where we are quickly." They look at me shocked and then I say, "Here let me check for trackers on you." I check Magic and there are none on him. And of course none on Princess because she wasn't stolen. I kick the stupid tracker and it goes flying somewhere in the woods. I walk closer to the edge of the woods, and that's when I see it. The thing I was trying to avoid. Because of the tracker we are gonna be caught once again by these two riders flying towards us...

........................................................

"Run!" I whinny to Princess and Magic. They stare at me wide eyed before galloping off in two different directions. I will be the distraction. I run towards the riders and they come galloping at me with ropes twirling ready to launch. I am able to dodge a few but as they get closer I know they will have more accuracy. I gallop away directly opposite of them which is straight for the stables that we were looking for yesterday.

I take off as fast as I can which is way faster than them. I realize that I am running on road which probably isn't good for my hooves. I decide to run diagonally off to the side. I step on a stone as I'm running and trip I fall and immediately get up. But that will slow me down and they got closer when I fell. I see Princess and Magic ahead. I can't lead these riders toward them. I swerve off to the side.

I look behind me while I'm running and I see someone-Max. I almost trip. He is trying to catch me. I knew that before but it hadn't really soaked in. I take a super sharp left when I see Princess is slowing. "Run!" I scream at her. She looks at something behind me terrified. And a rope goes around my neck yanking me back.

Max laughs. "We got her. We need that bay though. They would have great offspring." Magic stops and looks at me. "Run!" I scream at him. He runs but in the wrong way. He runs straight toward me and dodges the ropes. He makes it right next to Max and kicks his horse so hard that it falls down. Max yells.

Magic is about to trample Max when a rope is thrown neatly over his neck. But that doesn't stop Magic. He screams in rage and rears. The person who caught him gets kicked in the chest by Magic and he is just able to stay on. But Magic is caught. And Princess is our only hope...
