A/N: The horse was only seen for like ten seconds, and there was brush on the trail so you couldn't see if it was a girl or boy. Sorry for the confusion, I just thought it would be more interesting if Josh was a little suspicious.

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters you recognize.

Chapter 3

"Just a lucky guess." Emily covered.

"Well, I'm gonna stay with you three now, because I don't want anything to happen to y'all." Josh said. The girls sighed, but didn't complain. They thought the horse was dangerous to.

When the four got back to the barn, Josh went to help Adriane. Adriane didn't complain.

"So, how did Magic do?" Josh asked.

"She was awesome! I couldn't have found a better horse myself." Adriane replied.

"You know, they say horses chose the rider. Maybe Magic has chosen you…" He trailed of, sounding kind of embarrassed, "Some people even say she's a magical horse, that's where she got her name." He continued.

"Cool." Adriane stated simply. She loved any sort of magic, even if she was afraid to admit it.

"Awe, it's time to go," Emily said sadly. All three mages were very sad.

"Y'all come back now!" Josh said, in his southern dialect.

When the girls got back to the manor, there was a note on the door.

The mages had to step inside to read the note, because it was dark outside. Adriane read the note aloud, "Adriane, I'll be back later. I've gone to the store. Make sure to make your guest at home."

"Why don't we set up our sleeping bags in the library, then we can go fix something for dinner." Emily suggested helpfully.

The girls went to set up their sleeping bags. Then they left to fix dinner.

"Is soup okay?" The warrior asked. Emily and Kara nodded their heads yes. Before the trio knew it, it was 12:50.

"I think we should go to bed, I need my beauty rest." Kara said to the other two.

By 1:30, Adriane and Kara were fast asleep, but Emily just couldn't fall asleep. That's when she looked at her jewel and noticed it was pulsing furiously. She tried to wake the other two, but it was like they were in a trance. She ran to the window as it started to poor down rain. Suddenly, an animal shrieked. The healer tried one last time to wake her friends, but the wouldn't wake, so she grabbed her jacket and ran out the door. She followed the shrieks to the magic glade. She looked everywhere and found that there was no animal. That's when she found a note posted to a tree. She grabbed the note and ran for the manor.

When the healer reached the manor, she through open the doors and ran for the library. After the lights were turned on, she read the note to herself. It looked like some sort of poem.

Bounding through the woods

The wild horse runs
Around the tree and under the branch

And so the search has begun

Looking around wondering

Where is my baby colt?

But don't forget to watch

So when they come you can bolt

In the little clearing

He will surely be

But there he is not

For together one is we

Without each other

We are both at a loss

Because we are both

Each other's boss

And in these great woods

That have no end

He is my one

And only true friend

Emily stared at the note confused, she didn't even realize that her friends had finally woken up.
