Snow fallen
Prologue
Misty white clouds of breath formed in front of my face. The cave was cold and dark. The stench got worse as the cave grew colder. Its funny really, how we got here. I've only been in Fairview for a few months.
" Any ideas?" A rough voice said behind me.
"Unfortunately n-no, b-but this c-cold isn't he-helping." I chattered and then sneezed. I felt him move closer and wrap his arms around me. Shivering i let my hearing roam, i could hear footsteps.
Chapter one:
A new beginning
Icy wind ran through the trees and the sun helped none to take away the chill. My name is Cael Mitore, my name Cael means archer. My last name means the moon. My parents thought it would be cool if i had an elvish name to go along with our last name and honestly i think its cool too. My brothers name is Lon which means Chief. We call each other Archer and Chief, its a sibling thing. My mom and dad went along with it and eventually our parents just called us that. Im seventeen now, and the reason for moving all the way to Fairview was my mother died. My dad decided to move and start fresh. I was all for it, i loved the forest and being so far out in the middle of nowhere.
The drive was way longer than it needed to be. Dad stopped at a lot of places to sight see,
" Alright kids back in the truck. We were supposed to be there an hour ago." Smiling i jumped up into the truck, dad was never good with time. The autumn air swirled the leaves around in little eddies.
I hadn't realized i had dozed off until i was being shaken awake by Lon. He smiled and pointed out the window, my gaze followed his finger and when i saw what he was pointing at i gasped. We were passing through town, but that is not what caught my eye, the trees were all vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges. The colours were every where, "What do you think Archer, will this do?" Dad asked.
I could even contain my excitement.
Dad had said our house was big and there was even a barn for the five horses we owned. My horse was prince, with a sleek black coat. My dad and my moms horses were both chestnut, my dads horse was mayvack, and my moms was ninja. My brother had an appaloosa named cor. We just got a new horse, he had a dark grey coat and his name was petrov.
We drove steadily along the road, and then i felt the truck lurch as a red truck ran the light. We were horizontal to it so it almost hit us. My dad honked the horn and shouted at the truck, which was long gone by now.
When we got to the house i immediately jumped out and ran to explore. Well, as for the rest of the day; it passed in a blur.
I had got my room sorted out and found the barn for the horses. It was small but it would work. They were all settled and now i was curled up in my bed. Sleep came fast and before i knew it i awoke to the sun in my face.
The morning was quiet, Chief and i helped unpack the rest of the boxes while dad was at his new job.
"After we have to go on a trail ride!" Chief said.
I nodded and moved to the kitchen to finish the other boxes.
Noon came and gone, Chief and i went out to the barn got our horses and rode for a few hours.
When we got back i noticed that dad was home, we put Cor and Prince back in the barn and went inside.
When we got in side Dad was setting down a bag. If there is one thing dad cant do that is cook. So we eat out a lot.
After dinner i go out and do the last feeding, the night air is cooling on my skin. When i walk into the barn Petrov's head shoots up and over the half door of his stall, all i do is smile. I reach into a bucket and give a handful of treats to each horse then i give hay. I walked out side and stopped, the moon was bright and lit up the world of shadows. Tomorrow would be the first day of school. If mom was here she would tell me to make friends and be happy, so thats what I'm going to do.
