The sun shining through the open curtains was unbelievably bright. I don't remember leaving the curtains open, but then again I don't remember closing them. Then I found the cause of the light.
I opened my eyes to see 3 girls in front of me. One must have been 15 or 16 years old. She had brown hair that travelled to mid back and was beautifully curly. She was the thinnest of them all and was very in with the latest fashion. It was her eyes that shocked me most though. They were sea blue.
The other was around 12. She also had brown hair but it only just went past her shoulder and was as straight as a ruler. She had green eyes though. She also still had her 'baby fat' which I found amazingly cute. She was more sporty though than the others.
And finally was the youngest. She was most definitely 5 years old. Just the way she acted gave it away. She was beyond cute, she was cuddly. She had ginger hair and also had blue eyes. She was wearing a summer dress and had jeans on underneath. How can anyone style out a dress and jeans at the age of 5? I thought it was impossible. I was obviously wrong. They didn't seem to notice I was looking at them, they just continued chatting quietly. I sat there for 5 minutes listening to them talk about fashion and boys. The little girl losing interest when the subject of the opposite sex came into their conversation, turned towards me and noticed I was awake and looking right at her. She did nothing, just smiled and waved before jumping off the bed and running out the door. Bless her.
The other two shouted a girls name which I'm guessing was the little stowaway. Lucy. What a perfect name for such a little girl.Gosh she's gonna be a heartbreaker when she's older.
The other two turned towards me and just smiled and waved at me, at the same time. Yep they were definitely sisters.
The older one was the first to speak.
'Hi, im Ashley.' she said holding out her hand for me to shake which I did straight away.
'and I'm Kate.' also holding her hand out.
'Hi, I'm…' I didn't even get a chance to continue.
'Malencia Jordan Nutini, 3 time horse riding champion winning on Massachusetts, Dave and Old Boy 6 Weeks. You almost won on Hunter but unfortunately got beat by Laura Kraut and your 23 years old and you live in Manchester, England. We're huge fans.' they both said at the same time smiling.
'Wow! I'm impressed you guys know so much about me. How long have you been fans?' I asked them.
'Ever since 4 years ago when you first came into the business. We were in tears when you left because of that injury you had.' they said sympathetically.
That injury. The one that ended my career. I was riding Sanquall in the countryside when it happened. I was always told that when there is a threat to a riders championship, bad things happen, but I never really paid attention. Maybe I should have. I was shot at 3 times. 2 missed but 1 of them got me right in my arm and I ended up unconscious with Sanquall dragging me back home. I suffered a broken neck on the fall and a broken leg from the way that i fell. I never competed again after that.
