Alright, I'm back with another chapter. If you could call it a chapter. I've had so much homework to do I have no time for nothing else. But I promise my next chapter will be longer. :)


I tossed and turned in my bed then sighed. I sat up and got out of bed, I put on my shoes and my dressing gown and walked out of the room. I looked at the old clock.

" Three o clock," I mumbled, before I walked down the stairs. Once in the kitchen I lit a candle and sat it on the table. I took the milk from the icebox and put some into a pan on the stove. I walked to the window and looked out at the stars. I noticed a light coming from the barn and the door was lying open. I hurried outside and ran to the barn.

" What's going on?" Lissie and Ben were kneeling by Penny's head and Mr Nye was by her tail.

" The foal's having trouble," Ben said. I sat down beside them and smiled.

" She'll be alright. She's strong," I said.

By morning the foal had been born safely and Penny was alright.

" Patriot. I'll call him Patriot," Felicity said with a smile.

" It suits him," I said. There was a noise behind us and we looked around.

" What's going on in here," Father asked.

" Father meet Patriot," Lissie said and I laughed at her eagerness.
