Chapter 1
It was nearly dawn as the horse and rider came into view. The
rider, a young girl, sat bareback as her horse galloped wearily, mane waving in
the wind matching the girl’s long, flowing blond hair. They galloped on as one until they reach a
stream hidden in the trees. “We can stop
here girl; nobody will see us,” the girl said as she glanced wearily around
them. She pulled out a sack and sat down letting her horse get a drink out of
the stream and eat some of the rich grass growing along the stream.
They had been doing this for a week
now, traveling during the night and sleeping during the day not wanting to be
seen. The girl, who name was Grace, was on her way back home. Her father, who
wanted to separate her from her little brother, had hired her away from the
farm where she had grown up. That was
five years ago. She finally decided she just had to go home, find her brother,
and help him escape from their father who cared nothing of their well-being.
So, here she was, just a mile from her father’s home. Should
she wait till nightfall? Grace thought quietly as she pushed her hair behind
her ears. I just have to see if he is
alright! I just have to. “Okay, girl, let’s go now. I know it is just
getting light, but I have to see my brother!”
Quickly mounting Freedom, her horse, Grace guided her horse
towards the farm. Trotting then lopping,
they soon reached the place they had traveled so long and far to reach.
