Comfortably Numb, part 1

Chapter 1-(Hallie's point of view)

I'd been riding my horse at dusk for a couple of weeks when fall had finally made its presence known. It is my favorite time of the year, but it meant that it gets darker earlier. One night, I decided to start riding at night because I was so wrapped up in my journalism courses during the day at a local college. I knew the terrain like the back of my hand during the day, at night-not so much. I whispered softly to my mount, saying "Get us home, boy" I give him a pat, and wonder if Roman, (who's my barn manager and secret crush) is still at the barn waiting on me. We trot up a familiar hill-well, that's a huge mistake. I feel my gelding's legs go under me. But with some soft coaxing, I get him up and we try to find our way home. I'd brought my phone with me, and texted Roman-telling him about Flash's injury and so he'd know I was fine, I also know that Roman will text my brother Mike, and tell him I am alright. I notice that abandoned cabin that's usually dark during the day is lit up dimly by a light in one of the rooms. My gelding stays, as I dismount to see what is up ahead, and I accidentally fall and everything goes black. I hope my gelding goes back to the barn so that Roman knows I am in distress.

(Bray's Point of view)-I was making my nightly walk through the woods, when I notice a girl and she looks like she's sprained her ankle. She also has done some damage to her hands as well, as I see cuts and rein burns. I also see that she's dehydrated, so I gently lift her. As I make my way back towards the house, I see Erick standing near the door facing and he says, "What happened?" Erick moves out of the way, and I carefully place her on the couch. I continue talking to Erick saying, "I don't know, I found her this way." A couple hours later, we hear a soft moan from the couch after we carefully unstrap her helmet.

(Hallie's point of View)-My muscles ached, and I felt like I was in an another world-I can only remember one other time I'd felt this way. But I was more concerned about Flash more than anything because Mike and Roman could sense there was something wrong with Flash coming back riderless. When I was taken into the house, I could smell fresh wood burning in the fireplace. What was really strange, was I could smell a chemical fumes on a cloth, but I couldn't place the name now. But it definitely was making me sick, because it was nothing like the medications we use at the barn on a periodic bases.

(Roman's point of view)-It was about eight at night when Flash came back limping. When I finally got him cleaned up and having him bandaged due to his injury, I say to Flash, "What happened to Hallie, Boy?" I remember that she was riding on the trail adjacent to the stables, so I decided to look for her on my own-I quickly helmet and mount up and call John to let him know about his sister.

(Hallie's point of View)-I am beginning to feel a lot better since resting. It had been a few hours since the rest of the group went to there rooms to sleep-I glance around the room, and go towards the door, to see if the door was unlocked. I quietly crept, and discovered it was unlocked-I knew this could be my only chance to escape. I needed to have Roman to find me, before the chemical smell took me again and I grab my helmet. I crack the door open slightly and cover it with the palm of my hand and silence the door closing. I run as fast as I can in my trusty Ariats, and then I discover it's starting to rain. I hear a set of soft hooves pounding the ground. I prayed a prayer of thanks, when I am lifted swiftly and I feel Roman's touch. I whispered quietly, "I know who lives in that cabin now." I could feel Roman's mount trotting And I was grateful because they could come back at anytime while we were here. Soon, we reached the clearing and proceeded to the barn without incident.

(John's point of View)- After I had gotten Roman's call, I immediately rushed over to my sister's riding stable. I had one of her favorite songs in my head, which is "Alive" by Adelitas Way-I can only hope that's a good sign. About ten minutes later, I see Roman dismount first, and then he helps Hallie dismount. I could see when she got on the concrete that she flinches when her feet hit the ground. I carefully pick her up and start asking her what hurts. I know she's favoriting her left ankle and her knee. I thank Roman for finding her, and I decide that tonight-she shouldn't stay in her apartment alone tonight. I stop at a stoplight and look back in the back seat, and she's fast asleep. Tonight, I decided to stay in the guest room along with her because I worried about nightmares and her safety.

(The next morning, Bray's point of view)-I woke up with a start, I immediately go towards the couch-thinking that I would see the next Sister Abigail, but I don't see her. I say a few choice words in my head, as am not going to want to wake up Erick. I decided to go look in the woods for her-I pick up my walking stick and head out the door without making a sound.

(Roman's point of view)-As the barn manager, and stable manager-I decide that due to Hallie's accident and the run-in with the Wyatt's, I decided to cancel all trail rides for the moment. After I send the email to all of my riders, I decided to go to John's house and check up on Hallie.

(Hallie's point of view)-I woke up around nine, and John offered me breakfast-but I ate in silence, partly because I didn't want to relieve anything from last night. After I finished eating, I go to my car and head to class-until I hear John's voice from the door way saying, "You've been excused from your classes today" my mind races a mile a minute because I was supposed to get my internship information/assignment today. I sigh, knowing that last night took a toll on me. In my mind, I could still smell that chemical. After John made me take a nap, (because he knew I tossed and turned all night)-I heard the doorbell ring, I look out my window and see Roman's coal black Ram in the driveway. I decided to go downstairs to greet my friend, and hope I don't say the wrong thing.

(Bray's point of view)-I was almost to the clearing and there was no sight of her. By now, Erick has most likely found out that Sister Abigail's replacement is gone.

(Roman's point of View)-Before Hallie came downstairs, I had questioned John if she's told him anything about what happened-he says no, but I say we should let her open up to us in her own time-I know though, she may not for several weeks because that's her nature. Nothing has changed though, in the nine years I've known her-I will try to protect her in anyway I can.

(Hallie's point of view)-I was in my room alone, listening to my iPod and the song that played was "Acid Rain" by Avenged Sevenfold-when everything from last night started manifesting itself again. (Dream)- My body racked with sobs as see that chemical soaked cloth on my forehead. I run and hope that I can find my brother or Roman, but I can't find them, and Bray finds me at the end of the clearing. I wake up with a start, and I scream.

(Roman's point of view)-I approached the door, to go back to the stables when John and I both hear a blood-curling scream. John and I both share pained looks as we go upstairs to the guest room. I wonder what exactly happened last night?

(John's point of view)-This was exactly what I was concerned about. But, like Roman has said, we needed to let her open up to us in time-we can't force her.

(Hallie's point of view)-I decided that I should open up to at least my brother about what led to me being in the cabin. "John, you have a second?" He nodded as he sat down to hear what happened-I take a deep breath. I am lucky that Roman left an hour ago, because I knew I couldn't handle having to say it to him. I breathe deep and say, "After Flash went under me, I decided to see if there were anymore obstacles that blocked our path, and when I got at least a mile away from Flash, I stepped wrong and fell into a hole." Then John finished my sentence, "That's why your ankle and knee is in such a shape." I smile weakly because I was going to say it. Then he continued, "I have an appointment scheduled for you at the clinic." I groaned inwardly, knowing that the clinic would suggest x-rays, which would mean no time at the stables.

(Roman's point of view)-About an hour after I returned to the stables and finished a couple lessons, I heard my cell phone ring-I answer on instinct. It's John, telling me that Hallie's beginning to tell him what happened, but she still wanted to see me.

(Bray's point of view)-After hours of searching, I still couldn't find her. But she'll be back because I know that she rides in this area, and I now know she rides alone... But I made a promise to myself that I will find her, and she will be the next Sister Abigail
