I own nothing
In the forest
"Well, isn't this just great," Matthew said in an angry and sarcastic tone. "If you hadn't decided to go riding in the first place, we wouldn't be in this situation."
"Shut up!" Alfred snapped. "I'm trying to figure out how to get back."
"I'm not going to shut up!" Matthew snapped back. "I'm going to complain to you about how I told you that this was a bad idea."
"Shut up Matthew!" Alfred snapped again.
Suddenly, the 11 year old boys heard a wolf howl. The horses reared and the boys fell off. Alfred somehow landed on his feet and then tripped over a tree root while Matthew rolled down a hill and landed in the shrubs.
"Freedom," Alfred called after the bolting horses. "Maple Leaf."
The horses were long gone however. Alfred sighed and tried to get up but a sharp pain went up his right leg.
"Oh man," groaned Alfred, laying back down. "I think I may have broken my leg."
Soon, he saw his little brother come up.
"You ok?" Matthew gasped, breathing heavily.
"Other than my leg hurting," said Alfred, "I'm fine. You?"
"My left arm hurts," Matthew replied.
Matthew was covered with scratches and leaves from the shrubs while Alfred was covered with a few bruises and a couple of scrapes. Matthew sighed.
"Yep, we're so in trouble when we get home."
With Arthur and Francis
Arthur had tears running down his cheeks as he watched Francis talk to the police.
They searched the house and all around the ranch for their two boys but had no luck so they called the police.
"Ok, Francis," said Gilbert, who was a good friend of theirs. "I'll give you a call if anything happens."
"Thanks Gilbert," said Francis before walking over to Arthur and sitting next to him.
Arthur buried his face into Francis' shirt, tears staining it.
"Don't worry mon cher," said Francis, wrapping his arms around Arthur. "We'll find them."
"My children are out there," Arthur cried, pointing to the forest, "probably tired, cold and hungry and you're telling me to not worry!"
Tears came pouring down Arthur's cheeks like a waterfall. Francis pulled his husband into a hug and let him cry.
'I hope the boys are alright,' Francis thought
