I'm bad at thinking up titles. Also I don't own Assassins Creed and ya. Enjoy this random, random story.
"How did I let you talk me into this?" Rachel asked as she held tightly to her horses reins and neck.
"Well I suggested you take a weekend off, you know, relax." Alex told her friend as she finished loading her saddle bags "Then you told me you've never been riding and here we are; two amigo's heading out for a camping trip on horse back for two days." Alex finished with a smile.
"Okay, I know why I'm here but that still doesn't explain-"
"Because I'm awesome that's why." Alex cut her friend off and pulled herself onto her large black Hanoverian/Shire mix breed. "Besides it'll be fun!" Alex said while rocking back and forth, making sure the saddle was secure.
"I dunno, I mean can I trust this thing not to buck me off?" Rachel asked looking a little skeptical.
"Don't be like that, Nightmare is nothing but a big sweetie, ain't ya girl." Alex said with a smile as she reached over to pat the Lipizzaner's neck.
"Okay, two things: one, 'ain't' is not a word and two, the name Nightmare... not very reassuring..." Rachel told her friend as she patted the large Lipizzaner's neck. Alex rolled her eyes and gave her horse a light kick. "Hey, wait up!"
"Then hurry up!" Alex called back to her friend as her horse moved at a quick trot. Rachel scowled as she was being left behind and gave Nightmare a sharp kick. She jumped slightly as the horse took off towards Alex at a full gallop.
"Hey! Slow down, bad horsey!" Rachel called as Nightmare raced past Alex and her horse.
"Come on Carson let's go!" Alex called to her horse, giving a light kick and pushing on towards Rachel, gaining swiftly. Rachel grabbed onto Nightmare's neck, holding tightly to the horse to keep herself from falling to the forest floor below. Alex clicked her tongue urging the large horse under her to go faster, ducking and leaning from left to right in order to avoid low hanging branches that threatened to knock her from her horse.
Alex breathed a sigh of relief as she gained more ground on her friend, knowing that up ahead there would be a clearing. It would be the perfect chance to let her horse go all out and catch up to Rachel. As she chased her friend she noticed the tree getting thicker as they rode deeper into the woods, normally they would have started to thin out by now.
Rachel opened her eyes, she hadn't fallen so that was a good sign. She paled as she saw what her horse was racing towards, a gap in the trees. The light shining on the other side of it looked promising but to get there her horse would have to jump a large log. Closing her eyes she once again gripped tightly to the horse and hoped for the best.
Alex watched wide eyed as her friend and horse disappeared through the gap in the trees, almost as if they had been absorbed into the light. Narrowing her eyes she gave another tap to her horse, readying for the leap. Alex closed her eyes as she was blinded by the light she had suddenly burst into. After a moment her eyes opened as her horse walked up beside Nightmare and a shocked looking Rachel.
"Hey, you okay?" Alex asked, quickly scanning her friend for damage. After getting no answer she looked at Rachel's face. Following her line of sight she saw what had her friend so dumb struck; in front of them was a large city, the buildings inside looking so old she didn't even knew what era they were from. Looking down there was sand everywhere and no site of the forest they had emerged from. "Ray, I don't think we're in Checotah anymore..." Rachel finally turned to look at her.
"Wait... what?"
