So... I just wanted to let you know that you should REVIEW!!! I don't care if all you say is yes or no...(If you like it or not) just review. I only have 2 reviews :(

Just so you know, I do ride horses myself, so I sometimes forget that not everyone will understand what I'm trying to say... if you don't understand something... REVIEW and tell me!

BTW: I don't own twilight... it owns me.

"Ready, Bella?" Edward asked me, sounding less nervous, but still never taking his eyes off the tall brown "Stan."

"Only if you are scare-D-cat!" I teased, but Edward took it as a yes.

Rachel showed us how to lead the horses and we took them outside. Edward tried to walk as far away from Stan as he could while still in control of him, which caused a fit of giggles from me.

"And what, Bella, could be so funny?" Edward asked me.

"You," I said, but decided to explain. "Are afraid of an animal!" which again caused me to giggle.

"I told you... I'm not afraid." Edward said through his teeth.

"Mmmhmm..." I said, still not believing him.

When we got into the fenced in area, we tied the horses, and Rachel got up onto her horse so we could see how it's done. Edward took it upon himself to help me, because otherwise I would have fallen. I almost did, even with him helping me.

After helping me up, Edward skilfully vaulted onto Stan's back.

"See? Not afraid." He said.

"Where did you learn to do that?" I asked in awe.

"It looked easy. I've watched people do it before. You know, I've never been on horseback." He replied.

"Show off," I muttered.

Rachel showed us how to make the horses walk, stop and turn. After our mini-lesson, we went out on the trail. Rachel went ahead, and Edward and I walked side by side.

It was a beautiful trail through the woods, with crunchy leaves under the horse's hooves. The trees were all sorts of colors; red, orange yellow, and the occasional evergreen. I smiled just looking at them.

"What do you think, love? Something you want to do more often?" Edward asked me.

"Only if you're here," I replied. "And if you're not too scared," I joked.

"Bella, I'm not scared," Edward said, but I heard him whisper something like "anymore."

We rode in silence for a while, until Edward reached over to me. I took his hand, remembering what Rachel had said about how we could hold hands. When Edward's cool palm touched mine, I relaxed. I hadn't even realized I was tense.

Apparently Diamond had.

She decided to slow down, and I ended up going slower than Edward, so I had to let go of his hand.

I kicked my horse gently and she sped up, so I quickly grabbed Edward's hand again.

"I love you Edward, thank you for doing this." I said.

Just then, Rachel`s horse stopped and reared. A/N: stood on its hind legs. She leaned forward, and it went back to the ground, only to turn back towards us and run.

"Bella, hold on!" Edward yelled as the horse ran between us.

As soon as Rachel got control of her horse I looked to see what had scared it.

There, in the middle of the trail, was a mountain lion, Edward's favourite meal.
