ADDIE's POV

I was walking out towards the barn, when I saw Kaela coming out of the barn and she was leading Mysterious. He pranced besides her, like he always did. He looked healthy.

"Hey." Kaela said, she let Mysterious into the stallion paddock.

"So what was wrong with him?" I asked, walking over to the paddock. I leaned against the fence and watched as Mysterious took off and threw a buck. He really was a beautiful horse.

Kaela closed the gait and locked it. "Colic." She said, walking back towards the barn.

"Hey you think that my friends can go on a short ride?" I asked.

Kaela crossed her arms over her chest. "You'd have to ask Ken. But I'd say yeah, as long as you stay close to the ranch and don't fall off." She said,

I nodded. "Of course." I said. I actually wanted to get another look at the ghost town before I head to the library.

"Ask Ken. I won't get the horses until you do." She said. I nodded. I knew she wasn't going to be here today, so it was Ken's decision. I found him walking towards the ranch house, and I started jogging.

"Hey Ken." I said.

"Hey Addie. What's going on? Seem to be in a hurry." He said.

"Kaela said that we need your permission to go on a trail ride since she won't be here, either will Ty." I said, remembering that Kaela said Ty was going to be gone too.

"As long as your careful, your allowed to ride whenever." Ken said.

"Okay. Thanks." I said, walking towards the barn. I saw Ty hitching the truck up to a gooseneck horse trailer. "Hey where's Kaela?" I asked him.

Ty looked up. "Check the office." He said.

"No need to." I turned around to find Kaela leading sapphire Sky, Black Lightning and Spotted Diva. Diablo and Bullet were already brought in.

I smiled. "So you knew that he'd say yes." I asked.

Kaela nodded. "Yeah, but stick to the trails that are close to the house. If you get lost, don't worry the horses will find their way back." She said, tieing up the three horses. "Ken and Julie will be home all day, so don't be afarid to ask them for help." She said.

"Ready to go?" Ty asked, leaning against the hood of a huge GMC sierra.

Kaela nodded. "Have fun Addie. We'll be back sometime tonight." She said, walking towards the truck and got in. Ty waved and then got in on the driver's side. They then left.

"So I guess we got permission to go to the ghost town?"

I jumped and spun around. My brother was standing in front of me. "I forgot to mention that tid bit." I said, walking over to Sapphire.

"Addie, you said it yourself that you wanted to see this town up close." Ben said, walking over towards me.

He was right. "We'll get in trouble if Kaela or Ken find out." I said.

"Don't be a scardy cat. We're going to the town." Ben said, saddling up Black Lightning.

Geena, Jake and Zach showed up a couple minutes later and started saddling up their assigned horses. "So where are we going?" Geena asked, rubbing Diva's neck.

"To check out the ghost town." Ben said, he was the first one to mount up and he got it on the first try. "See I'm learning." He said.

I rolled my eyes and mounted up on Sapphire. I didn't feel right about. "You even remember how to get there?" I asked, tapping Sapphire's sides. I think it's about a thirty minute ride to the town.

"Why not use the same way as yesterday?" Zach asked.

Ben shrugged and nodded, it was clear that he's going to lead. I couldn't help but glance at Kaela's stallion. He was pacing back and fourth along the fence line. I doubted it was because he was feeling left out.

"Hey does Kaela or Ty know where we're riding?" Geena asked.

I shook my head. "No. Ben wouldn't tell them. I just asked if we could go riding today." I said, Sapphire moved into an easy trot.

"Don't you think it would have been smart to tell them? What is something happens?" Jake asked.

Couldn't argue with that. "This is Ben's idea. So if something happens, well just blame him." I said. I was going to look over my shoulder, but then I remembered what happen with Ben when he did.

"Think the horses know the way to the ghost town?" Ben asked me. I just shrugged. I doubted it, since it doesn't seem like the Daviss and Kaela go to the town very often, infact Kaela had advised not to get to envolved in the mystery. She basically stated that it was a rumor. But Ty had mentioned that they have visited the town.

"Hey when's the next full moon?" I asked.

"Tonight why?" Zach asked.

"Because Ty had said that the ghost horse appears only on nights when it's a full moon. Which could be why Mysterious was acting up yesterday. Kaela herself said that he might be somehow linked to the stallion, but through bloodlines. She's not sure. So what is Mysterious was the only one to sense him?" I asked. I didn't think it made much sense, in my mind it did.

"Maybe we should camp out." Ben said.

"No." Me, Geena and Zach said at the same time.

"This is a bad idea." Geena said.

Ben looked over his shoulder and glared at Geena, proving that he hasn't learned his lesson from yesterday. "It's the daytime." He said.

"Ben pay attention to where your going." I said.

"Fine. Hey the town is right over that hill right?" He asked, steering Black Lightning towards a small hill. I rolled my eyes and followed. Hope we don't get sent home early because of this stupid stunt. I would have felt a little safer if Kaela or Ty were with us. "Haha! There it is." He said. We heard a loud bang, next thing i know both Sapphire and Lightning spooked. Sapphire took off down the hill, she turned extremely sharp. I fell off, and hit the ground hard. I sat up, and saw that Ben had also fallen off.

"Hey you two okay?" Jake asked, jumping off Diablo.

I nodded. "I think so." I said, trying to stand, but I felt instant pain in my right ankle. "Aww..Stracth that, I think I sprained my ankle." I said, sitting back down.

"Ben thinks he broke his arm." Zach said, walking over by me.

"Umm..guys, it might be smart to hold onto the horses. Sapphire and Lightning have already tooken off." I said. Just then we heard another loud bang. Diablo reared up and took off, followed by the other two. "Great. Now how are we going to get back?" I asked.

Geena looked at the town. "We can wait there until Ken comes to find us." She said.

"I knew this was a bad idea." I said, standing up. Jake came over by me, putting a hand on my back. I wrapped an arm around his neck, and used him for support.

"I didn't expect the horses to spook. Aren't they suppose to be like super safe horses?" Ben asked.

"No horse is super safe. Their unpredicated by nature." Geena said. The town was probably about half a mile away, maybe more. I hoped that Ken will notice the horses soon.

"Wait why don't we just walk back?" Zach asked.

Geena looked at him. "It's like five, six miles. Addie can't hop the whole time. It's easier this way, let's just hope that help comes before it gets dark." She said. I couldn't agree more.
