I don't own anyone but myself in this fic. Yes this is a Chris fic and my first one. The fist chapter takes place in my point of view.

When we were heading back home from a trail ride, Sandra slowed her horse down to talk to me ...

"Hey Emm can I talk to you for a sec?" she asked.

"Sure." I said turning to her.

"Do you think we could train Nimph to race?"

Nimph was my thoroughbred stallion. He was bred to race by one of the most famous breeders in the world and I bought him to use for barrel racing. When I first saw him, he was the most beautiful jet-black horse I've ever seen.

"Sandra you're talking about a lot of money."

"I know, but you think we can at least try to train him."

"I don't know what the heck we would need to train him."

"Please?"

"Okay, but you have to help."

The next thing I know, I was the one going to have to pay for everything that had to do with racing. My new task was to find a trainer and a jockey.

"How fun this is gonna be.... hooray." I thought to myself sarcastically.

At least I was the owner of the horse and not the trainer, cause if I was, I would talk my way out of it. It wasn't like I was the horse.

As soon as we got back, my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID And it was my cousin Brent. I pressed the answer button and said hello...

"Emm I need your help!" he said through the phone. The way he sounded told me that he was in distress.

"Brent what's wrong?" I asked calmly.

"Katie's missing."

"Where are you at?"

"I'm at Lake Fause Point."

"Do you need a search party? I just got back from a trail ride and there is allot of people who would gladly volenteer to look for her." I said.

"On horseback?"

"Yeah, just give me the answer and we'll be there in a little bit!"

"Go ahead and come. We need all the help we can get."

It wasn't long after we had every horse loaded into the horse trailers, that we were on the road to Lake Fause Point to meet my cousin. I was very worried for my little cousin Katie.

As soon as everybody was ready to go we headed out looking for Katie, before daylight. After we looked for three hours we all decided to split up into different directions. I rode to the other side of the lake where there was a very steep hill.

When I got to the hill, I spurred Nimph to make him climb it. We got half way up the hill when it started to rain. The rain made the soil on the hill give way and Nimph started to lose his footing.

"COME ON NIMPH! DON'T LET ME DOWN! KEEP GOING!" I yelled above the rumbling of the hillside. Nimph was slipping, he couldn't hold on much longer.

All of a sudden lightning followed by the crack of thunder split the sky and Nimph reared up. When he did I fell off and he tumbled backwards down the hill. All I could do was watch in horror.

It wasn't until Nimph was lying on his side at the bottom of the hill, that I felt the sharp pain in my shoulder. When I saw Nimph getting up, I knew he was all right. The next thing I saw was a blue light then everything went black.

so how did I do (I know a clffy and I will explain what my character looks like in the next chapter) please R&R. Thanks.
