Firefly-Crystal Tears, I've been thinking about it more, I really have. They might, but I don't know if I'm good at writing romances.
Glitter Trail
By Solo Rider
Chapter Three
"Who's here in Nevada?" Jake asked after a minute of silence. Both Katiy and Alan jumped, as if they'd forgotten Jake and Sam were still here.
"No one, no one." Alan said quickly. Katiy looked at the ground, avoiding looking at Sam and Jake. It was so easy to tell they were hiding something.
"Who's here?" Jake asked again. This time, neither Alan nor Katiy answered. Socks still had her head resting on Katiy's shoulder, but she was eyeing Jake with an almost angry expression.
"Who's here?" Jake repeated. Though the shade from his Stetson hid his face, Sam could tell by his voice that Jake was starting to get angry. Socks snorted at his tone.
"No one that concerns you!" Alan said in a funny voice. He was glaring at Jake. Katiy looked up, tears in her eyes.
"They deserve to know, I mean, if they show up at their ranch…" Katiy trailed off and looked at Socks. Her eyes wandered over the scratches covering the filly.
"I mean, look what they did to Socks, and we were running at full speed most of the time. If they show up at their ranch, that little bay gelding has no chance. You and I both know Socks is stronger than most horses, and they almost got her." She said. Alan was silent. Finally he sighed.
"Fine, but I doubt they'll believe you." He said. Than, without a word, he kicked Target hard in the side. With a loud snort, the stallion reared up, and than took off at a gallop. Socks watched as they went and whinnied loudly, but she stayed with Katiy.
"Alan and I aren't from around here. We're from Alberta, and that's where we lived, until last year." Katiy said. She stopped, absent-mindedly rubbing Socks' forehead.
"Why?" Sam asked. She was curious now.
"I don't know why they want us, but they do. I don't know if it's because of the horses, or because of our parents. But they're after us, and they won't stop until they have us. They have things, I don't know what they are, but they can hurt a horse bad even when it's going at a full gallop. Socks didn't slow down once when we went by them, but look at her! Look what they did to him!" Katiy said, staring over her shoulder. It was than that Sam finally noticed New Moon.
The great black stallion had scratches just liked Socks, but he also had a deep cut on his hock. New Moon snorted warily as he watched them, ready to run at the slightest thing.
"And they're here, they've found us. I don't know how, but they have." Katiy said. Socks stamped her foot as if in agreement.
"You'll have to tell Wyatt that once we get back to the ranch." Jake said. Katiy looked up at him in alarm.
"I can't go back with you guys, you'll all get hurt, like before." She said.
"There's a lot of people out looking for you, you have to come back with us." Jake insisted. Katiy shook her head.
"I can't go back with you." She said. Jake gave her a lopsided grin.
"If you want your saddle and bridle, you'll come with us."
Sorry it's short I've been having a writer's block lately, and that's the most creativity I could come up with. I promise the next chapter will be longer, and I'll try and update sooner.
