Chapter 3: An Aussie Chrissie – Part 2
Thankyou to all my readers. I am really proud of this story as it is the first one that has actually worked for me.
Hope you enjoy the second part of An Aussie Chrissie just as much as the first.
Previously on 'Who am I?' –
Finally Jasmine, Ace and Bailey walked up to her.
"Our present to you is outside actually." Jasmine told her.
"Really?" Lissie said and Bailey grabbed her hand and dragged her outside…
Now on with the story –There, outside was her Uncle Nick with a horse.
"Your mum and dad told us that your horse died 2 months ago and well we found Inggie here and we just needed to buy her for you!" Bailey told Lissie.
"What!" Was all Lissie could say. She was so stunned.
After Perry, her old horse had died her parents had said that she might have to wait a while for a new horse. Sure they were horse breeders but at the moment they didn't have much money.
After one month Lissie had asked her mother about a new horse again only to be told that she would get one soon.
"And we can use her for breeding too," Claire told her daughter.
"You knew mum. You told me we didn't have enough money when I knew we did. You knew I was getting a horse." Lissie asked her mum, not in a bad way.
"Well we all did. Jazz, Ace and Bails had to tell us so we new. We are sorry from keeping it a secret for so long Lissie, but otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise at all." Claire told her daughter waiting for her reaction.
After the shock of getting her horse, Inggie from her cousin's Lissie and the rest of the family enjoyed their Christmas.
At 5pm on Christmas Day Lissie and the rest of her family met at the grave yard of Drover's Run.
They did this every year to pay their respects to the father's, mother's, aunt's, uncles, and grandparents.
This year it was Wallis' turn to say the speech.
"Although you are dead, we remember you. Although you can't see we picture you. Although you can't hear we talk to you. Although we are on Earth and you are in heaven we miss you and wish you were here." Wallis said looking down at the graves.
Everyone was silent in his or her own thoughts.
Most were thinking of stories their parents had told them about their deceased family members.
Tess and Claire were thinking about their parents relationships and deaths and good times they had with them and each other.
After 1 minute silence everyone put a flower on each grave and then started walking down to the main Drover's house.
Claire, Tess, Jodi, Jasmine, Regan and Emily were the last ones left.
They stayed at the graves for half an hour after everyone else left and told stories about their parents.
The McLeod's daughter's then walked arm in arm to the main house in silence. They did this every Christmas as respect for family. They were the McLeod's daughters – the one and only.
Thanks for the feed back.
Sorry it was short but if you put it with the first part of the chapter it is long.
Love you all –
