Fear
A/N-So the POV skips around a lot, to make it easier I tried to use page separators so that you could keep up. This chapter is very fast paced… Hopefully you enjoy! Please let me know what you think!
She sat in the car staring out the window. She could still hear the rhythm of the music pounding in her ears even though they had left the club quite awhile ago. She could feel a sigh escape her lips and she saw two heads jerk around to look at her. Trying to block the tears that were forming she turned away and looked out the window again. She closed her eyes and could see him standing there, in front of her watching her. It was him she knew it was him, she wasn't crazy.
As they pulled into Raintree she could see Jean and Pablo waiting on the porch with concerned looks on their faces. As the car jerked to a stop she swung her door open and jumped out of the car. She could hear people calling her name and she didn't care. Running as fast as she could to Wildfire's stall, she didn't even bother to look back at the people running after her.
--
By the time he had reached the stall both Wildfire and her were gone. He turned and looked at Pablo and Jace running up behind him, followed by Dani and Jean. He could feel his anger slowly rising as he ran his hand through his hair. Frustrated he slammed his fist into the stall door causing both Pablo and Jace to look at him questioningly.
"We need to find her before she does something stupid." He muttered. He had lost her twice before, he wasn't going to lose her again.
--
Pablo watched Matt storm out of the barn and towards the house. Turning to Dani and Jace he noticed them looking away. Turning and grabbing Jean's hand he noticed the worried look on her face. They had all lost Kris once; they were going to fight this time.
He looked Jace dead in the eyes before he began to speak.
"Would you two like to fill us in on what the hell is going on?" he asked.
--
She had no idea where she was going or what she was going to do when she got there, but she ran. She knew deep in her mind that no matter how far or fast you ran, it always seemed to catch up with you. She looked over her shoulder to make sure that no one was following her and slowed Wildfire down from a full out sprint to a slow walk.
She couldn't bear to face them let alone talk to them; they all thought she had lost it or that she was drunk. She knew she wasn't imagining things, she had seen him and she had never been so sure of anything in her entire life.
She could feel Wildfire slow down even more and she saw a person standing in front of her in the field ahead. Who the hell would be out in the middle of nowhere at this time of night?
--
Pablo continued to stare at Jace, who seemed to turn and look at Dani. She seemed to understand that he wanted her to speak because she looked up at Jean and took a deep breath.
"We honestly have no idea; Matt would be the one to talk to. We were getting Drinks at the bar and as we were walking back we saw Kris stumble backwards. When we got to her she just kept mumbling something."
Pablo looked at Jean for a moment before turning back to Dani. What would have happened to make Kris run?
Jean looked at Pablo for a moment, and he wondered if she was thinking the same thing. "What was she mumbling Dani?" Jean asked.
--
He had heard what she had said, as much as he wished he hadn't he had. He could feel the tension rising in his back as he looked at himself in the mirror. He splashed cold water onto his face and rubbed his tired eyes with his hands. He had to go after her, but where would she take Wildfire?
He momentarily wondered if she had headed to Davis farms, but thinking it through realized that probably wasn't the case. Sitting down on the side of the tub he leaned back and put his head against the wall. He could hear people entering the house and calling his name, closing his eyes he made a choice. He refused to answer.
--
Pablo saddled up one of the horses and headed out in the general direction he thought Kris had headed. Jace had taken his car to the road, both silently hoping that one of them would find her. The look on Matt and Kris' face haunted his memory. What had she seen?
He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong and that somehow Kris was in danger. Digging his heels into the side of the horse he could feel himself urging it to go faster to run harder. He had to find her, no matter what he had to find her.
--
Dani found him in the bathroom, still sitting in the same position. She came and sat next to him and leaned back into him. She noticed every time she tried to talk to him, his eyes closed and he pulled a little bit further away from her.
Standing up he didn't say a word as he walked out of the room, the next thing she heard was the front door slamming shut.
--
She pulled on Wildfire's reins making him slow even more as they approached the person. She could tell that their back was to her, but she couldn't make out much else in the dark. She called to the person and they seemed to ignorer her. Hopping off of Wildfire she slowly walked up to the person and then he turned around.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
He seemed to look at her for only a moment before grabbing her arm.
"You my dear are coming with me."
Wildfire seemed to sense that something was wrong, because the next thing she knew he was bolting away from them and headed back towards Raintree. Closing her eyes she hoped he got there before it was too late.
--
As he walked out the front door he came across a horse in the middle of the driveway. He felt his heart sink in his chest as he walked up and petted a very rattled Wildfire. Yelling for Dani and his mom he could feel his knees go weak. This could not be happening, not now.
--
Pablo could feel his phone ringing in his pocket, and the buzzing seemed ominous. Picking up the phone he listened to what Jean said before cursing loudly. Turning the horse around, he raced back to Raintree as quickly as possible.
--
Wildfire seemed to buck and neigh as if he was trying to tell them something, trying to warn them. Where was Kris and why would Wildfire leave her?
--
She looked at the person one last time as he quickly shoved her into the car. The place where he had held her arm ached and she quietly massaged it with her other hand.
Why did she think it was a smart idea to run from Raintree, to run from her friends?
What had she got herself into?
