Prologue - Leiney POV
Nothing felt as free as galloping across open land, letting the wind wipe through your hair, taking your hands off the reins was really like experiencing flying.
Of course there was always that added bonus of when you left your sister in the dust.
Easing back down into walk I hollered for Sophia to catch up, and when at last she finally arrived she was ghostly pale and her normally immaculate hair was framing her face more wild than a lion's mane. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I HATE it when you do that Lee! I just get the confidence on a horse then you take off like a mad woman! Then you have the balls to laugh at me because I'm scared!" She ranted off at me whilst I was choking back the laughter.
I should probably explain that Soph has been petrified of horses since one bit her when she was young, but being the pushy stubborn younger sibling I am managed to convince her to get on a horse and have had her hooked ever since, although she may not be the most confident at riding, she certainly was a natural.
"Lee? Lee ?! Are you even listening to me? You know how dangerous letting go of the reins even is? Do you know that Louis could seriously injure himself? Then injure you?" I just sighed and pointed Louis forward.
"You know, I think Maddy would actually quite like to just be able to let loose once in a while… Let her gallop freely?" I could tell by her face I was pushing buttons… The wrong ones, she loved Maddy more than anything and to make her think she was doing wrong by her? That was just horrible of me.
So to make amends I stopped and got off, she looked perplexed but dismounted all the same. I reached into my saddle bag and pulled out a box with a neat little bow and all at once her face lit up.
"Did you really think I would forget are little tradition?" I asked with mock sadness. It was the 30th of July, which we have celebrated for as long as I can remember since it being the half way mark between our two birthdays.
Sophia smiled warmly at me and explained with a small giggle "I had hoped not otherwise giving my present to you would have been rather embarrassing!" Whilst she had been speaking a squishy package had appeared in her hands.
We eagerly switched presents and whilst I tore through the wrapping paper Sophia delicately untied the ribbon and peered into the box. Inside was a decorative silver hair comb perfect for those times when her beautiful tangles of fiery red hair would just not obey her.
Whilst my present had me doubled over laughing. It was a pair of pajamas, but not just any pj's. They were black and the top read "These are my zombie killing pj's" in white while the bottoms were splashed in red, supposedly being blood. I simply loved them. We both tucked our presents a way to avoid damage. After re-mounting I persuaded her to go exploring just a little further.
As we approached two trees with a large enough gap for us to pass through, I thought I could see a golden shimmering light. It must have been the sun since Sophia didn't say anything. How wrong I was, as we passed through I felt like my body was being pinched all over and as Louis reared at the pain I turned to look at Soph experiencing the same thing. We shared a worried look and a combined mutter of "What the fuu" but were cut short by blacking out.
