Guardians of The Wardrobe
Chapter 14:
"How are we going to choose?" Diane asked.
"Simple I call the black one! Since I've always wanted one" Helena yelled running over to the black Stallion. The horse was perfect. Every since Helena was a small child she always wanted a horse and she knew exactly what kind of horse. She wanted a all black horse with a white blaze. She petted its long soft black mane.
"Do you like them?" The girl's heads turned to Helena's father who was leading on the stable door.
"There beautiful" Diane said walking over to the blonde horse.
"What are you gonna name him?" Helena's father asked walking over to his daughter. Helena looked at the beautiful horse. She already loved it.
"Spirit.." She said simple. "He looks like a Spirit to me" She smiled.
"What about you guys?" Helena said looking over at her friends. They were standing beside their horses and petting them as well.
"I'm gonna name her Cordelia" Diane smiled. Diane's horse was blond with a lighter blond blaze on the nose and a mane to match the blaze. Diane's horse also was different then the others she had hair on the bottom of her hooves. Laura's horse was all grey with a black mane and hooves.
"I'm gonna name him Caber" Laura said. All three of the girls smiled at each other. The horses each had there own area. There were wooden fences all in order. In the first stable to the very left was Spirit. On the far right there was Caber and in the middle was Cordelia.
"Go and take them for a ride..." Helena's father said walking back into the barn with saddles. The girls quickly put the saddles on the horses and sat up on them.
"Guy's I've never been on a horse before" Diane said nervously.
"You'll do fine don't worry" Laura said.
"It's easy." And with that Laura led her horse out of the barn. Helena led her horse just after Laura. As for Diane it took her nearly 15 minutes just to figure out how to get the horse to move. She finally caught up to Helena as her horse was grazing.
"See it's not that hard Diane" Helena said.
"You obviously didn't see me on the way here then..." Diane said angry.
"No why?"
"Well cause I fell at least 6 times" Helena burst out laughing and just as she did she started to loose balance. Helena tipped over her horse and fell off the saddle with one foot still caught on hold. Spirit became startled and ran straight off dragging Helena behind. Diane would have gone to help her but her horse became too stubborn to move.
"Come on you stupid horse!" Diane yelled. Laura came trotting back in gracefully on her horse back into chaos.
"Why is Helena being dragged on her horse and why are you not moving" Laura asked. Diane had no words to explain.
"I am surrounded by idiots," Laura muttered slowly trotting away. Laura finally got Cordelia to move and Diane and Laura trotted off toward the river. When the reached the tiny frozen river they got off there horses to give them a break. Diane and Laura were talking casually when Helena walked in soaking wet from the snow. She had her horse in her other hand. She let the horse go to give him a break and walked over to Diane and Laura who were trying to contain their laughter.
"Not a word.." Helena said pointing to both the girls.
"Look..." Helena pointed to the river. There was a boy siting in the middle of the frozen lake.
"What is he doing?" Helena said casually.
"What if he falls in" Laura says panicked.
"HEY!" Diane yelled. The boy looked up at her. He had ruffled straight brown hair. He was to far to see his face clearly but even from a far Diane knew he was attractive. He was wearing a black toque with a matching scarf. He had a grey t- shirt that was peeking out of his black jacket. The boy slowly stood up and waved to the girls.
"Be careful you might fall in!" Diane yelled to the boy.
"Don't worry the rivers been frozen for years I'm not gonna fall..." The boy was cut off by the ice cracking and him crashing right into the water.
"In..." Helena finished his sentence.
