Chapter 1

"We're going to be late!" Yelled Dr. Fletcher, Emily's mom. Emily ran down the stairs, and jumped, skipping the last two steps.

"Coming Mom!" Emily yelled as she rounded the corner into the kitchen. Emily and her friends, Adriane and Kara, were going to go on a trail ride at the new stables they had gotten in town. Emily was dressed in her usual jeans and a

T-shirt. Emily climbed into the front seat of the van with her mom, and they headed out to pick up Adriane first. When they got to the manor, Adriane was waiting out side. As usual, she was wearing all black.

"Hi, Dr. Fletcher!" Adriane said as she climbed into the back seat of the van.

"Hey Adriane. Are we off to pick up Kara now?" Dr. Fletcher asked.

"Yep." The girls said in unison.

When the van pulled in to Kara's driveway, Emily and Adriane hopped out and ran to the doorbell.

"I'll be out in a sec!" Kara yelled at the top of her lungs. About a minute after the warrior and healer had gone back to the car Kara came out. She ran and opened the door, and scooted in next to Adriane. Emily looked back at Kara, and was in shock.

"You're wearing that to go horseback riding?" Emily said, because she had taken horseback riding when she was younger.

"What's wrong with this?" Kara asked, as she looked at her perfectly matched skirt and blouse. Adriane started bursting out laughing at the fact that Kara didn't know that you had to wear pants.

When they got to the stables, Emily went straight to the horses. There were about twenty there. Adriane directed her attention to a black mare named magic. The mare immediately came to Adriane. It took Adriane a moment to see that the mare had a star covered by her forelock.

While Adriane and Emily were looking at all of the horses, Kara went to the bathroom. When she came out, she had on jeans.

"You didn't think I'd come unprepared? Did you?" Kara asked Emily and Adriane as they walked up.

"Come on you two," Emily said, pulling at the two, "We're going to go meet the horses we'll be riding!" Adriane and Kara exchanged glances, but followed the healer any ways.

"Hey y'all, I'll be your helper today. My name's Josh." The tour guide explained, with a southern dialect. "Do you have any questions? Good," He didn't wait for a reply. Then he pointed at Adriane and said, "You'll be riding Magic, cause I can tell you like her." Then he pointed to Emily and Kara and said, "You'll be riding Chocolate, and you'll be riding Angel." With that, Josh left to go get the tack. Emily went to the stall Chocolate was in, but the gelding didn't seem as at-ease as he was before. Chocolate was a brown gelding and Angel was a milk white mare.

A little short, but it's only the first chapter; it'll get better, I promise! Please review, flames excepted. Although I hope I don't get flames…
