Chapter 8
" I have to go find him!"
Kris ran towards the barn to tack up one of the trail horses.
Junior ran after her, inside the barn Matt was in the barn feeding the horses and over heard what junior and kris were talking about.
"Kris you can't just go out there by yourself"
"Junior I have to go find him"
"Well then im coming with you"
"Fine, you better go get ready"
Matt walked over to where kris and junior where talking
" What's going on?"
" Wildfire fell down during our workout this afternoon and then he ran off and Junior and I are going to look for him"
" I can come too, I know my way around the land so it might go faster"
"No matt it's ok we will be fine"
"That might be a good idea"
"I'll go get ready"
Junior was standing next to kris now
"Why did you do that"
"Because the more people we have the better"
"Well then what if Dani came with us?"
"I don't care call her and ask"
Junior pulled out his cell phone and dialed her number
"Hey Dani"
"Hi Junior what's up?"
"Well wildfire ran off and Kris and Matt and Me are going to look for him do you want to come?"
"Sure"
"Ok then meet us here at the Ritter's in a minute "
"Ok see you in a minute"
Matt came back with a backpack filled with food
"Dani's coming"
"Cool"
Dani pulled up and got out of her car and started to walk towards the barn
"You guys ready to go"
"Yup...lets go before it gets to dark"
Kris, Matt, Dani, and Junior had been riding through the woods for what seemed like forever
"Maybe we should stop for the night, it's getting dark out"
" It's still light enough to see him if he is around here"
" I agree with Dani, we should stop for the night and get a goodnights rest and then continue looking in the morning"
"Fine"
"Everyone was fast asleep, except for kris"
Kris got up and walked over to the horses
"Kris what are you doing"
Kris spun around and had her hand on her chest
"Junior don't do that"
"What's wrong"
"I'm just really worried about Wildfire"
"He will be fine"
Kris and junior walked to the river edge and sat down
"Hey kris"
"What "
" I love you too"
Kris had a smile on her face
Junior leaned over and kissed kris and she kissed him back, Kris eventually pulled back
"What wrong"
"Did you hear that"
"No"
Junior tried to kiss kris again but she pulled away
"Listen"
They heard a horse in the neighing in the distance
"I think that's wildfire!"
"We have to go see"
Kris turned on her flash light and ran into the woods
"Kris where are you going?"
"I have to go see if that was wildfire"
"Im coming with you"
Kris and Junior where walking through the woods
"Kris you know every time we ever have any time together we are always interrupted"
"I know"
" I want to spend time with you alone"
" I want to be alone with you too junior I'm just busier than I was when we used to be together, I mean im a jockey now and..."
"I know but..."
"Wait do you see that"
Wildfire was laying on the ground, Kris ran over to him and looked him over
"He doesn't have any marks on him"
Wildfire tried to get up but couldn't
"Oh no"
"What's wrong?"
