Chapter 2:

Corinne reached towards the courtyard, flushing when she realized what had almost happened. She felt herself smiling goofily, but shook her head when she saw all the musketeers already gathered around Monsieur Treville. She'd have to deal with her thoughts later. Corinne glanced around the crowd and soon made eye contact with her friends. When her friends saw her still flushed face, they shot her grins and sparkling eyes. Corinne rolled her eyes, but smiled as she faced the captain.

"Musketeers!" Monsieur Treville barked. "The town has gone wild! Their chasing some kind of horse and is causing a riot down there! Corinne, Aramina, Renée and Viveca, go to town and calm everyone down. Everyone else, surround the castle and make sure they don't stampede in here, understood?" Monsieur Treville finished.

"YES SIR!" The musketeers shouted.

"Good, carry on with your duties." Monsieur Treville said, dismissing them.

"Ready to save the day again?" Corinne asked her best friends, grinning.

"READY!" her three friends called.

They rode into town, and were all shocked at the mess everyone made in an effort to catch the horse. The four girls looked around disapprovingly. "Well, any ide..." Corinne said, trailing off because of the sight in front of her. There, was the mysterious horse. The horse looked at Corinne with wide eyes, but snapped out of it when it saw the townspeople coming closer. The horse took one last look at Corinne, and sprinted off towards the west woods. Corinne shook her head too, dazed at what just happened. Then she felt someone shaking her.

"Corinne? Are you alright?" Aramina asked, worried.

Corinne snapoped out of her reverie, faked a smile and said, "Yeah, I'm fine, let's go calm everyone down."

The four girls rode to town square, and saw that everyone was carrying ropes, guns, and a lot more hunting material. Renée looked lost at where to start, and Aramina and Vivica were taken aback at all the eqipment the townspeople had. So, Corinne decided to take some action. She scanned the area, and found a barrel. "That'll work," she muttered, and cartwheeled onto it.

"Everyone! Settle down, NOW!" She forced herself to yell it out loud. Corinne absolutely hates yelling, except in desperate situations. Like now. When everyone's eyes turned to her, she started speaking.

"The horse is gone, don't you see? And your creating such a mess in your hunting! How would you feel if someone tried to hurt you? Now, I suggest that you guys clean up what you did, and help others too. The horse shall be remained unharmed. UNDERSTOOD?" Corinne said, hands on her hips. Everyone then turned to each other and murmured in soft voices. Then they shrugged, and the Corinne heard them mutter, "might as well. There is no point in chasing what isn't there." The girls smiled as everyone started to clean up, and put away their gear. Corinne jumped down from the makeshift stage, and walked over to her friends. She laughed as she saw their shocked expressions.

"Wow Corinne, that was...amazing!" Viveca said, awestruck.

"I agree!" Aramina added.

"Ditto!" Renée said excitedly.

Corinne smiled at her friends praising her. "Thanks guys, but let's head back to the castle now." she said, jumping on her horse. Her friends did the same, and they rode in perfect sinc with Corinne leading them to the castle together.

Meanwhile, in the shadows...

"Oh, I hope your friends are ready blondie. Cause you will freak when you find out what has happened..." A man said evilly, revealing his team of men.

So? What do you think? I know this chapter isn't the best, but I'm getting there! Please review!
