POV-Megan

"Hey Megan can you make sure to turn out the horses!" someone called out from behind me.

I quickly finished what I was doing in the barn. As I turned around I had realized that the barn looked kind of empty like no one had been there, but she just decided it was nothing and moved on .
As I walked out of the barn I saw Cobble. Cobble was a Silver Dapple, he was about 15 hands. I quickly walked over to Cobble and gave him a little pat. I thought to myself "I have to turn out the horses I might as well take Cobble for a little ride." I quietly walked back into the barn to grab a saddle. I began to put it on as I herd something from behind me. It sound almost like a kid scream. Not think much about it I finished tacking up Cobble.
As I rode up to the pasture, I let my mind wonder. Today just felt off, today was just a normal Saturday, but yet it just felt off.
I looked down seeing I was hold the reins really tight in my hands, I loosened my grip of the reins and continued on the trail.                                                                                                                                          Not to long after finally made it to the pasture. I got of Cobble and walked over opening the gate so the horse could get into the bigger pasture. I did my thing greeting all the horses as they trotted into the bigger field to graze. I made sure their water troughed was full of water before I made my way down to Cobble, who was happily eating some grass. As I got onto Cobble I herd the same high pitched scream, it sounded like one I had herd early that day. This time it really got my attention, I had almost sounded like a young woman screaming for help. We set off in a gallop towards the scream. I had begun to panic what if I was too late what if something bad had really happened to the girl. We crossed over a river and then I herd it "HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE" It was the same higher pitch young woman from the morning, it was coming from somewhere to the right of me. I turned to my right and started to gallop again.                                       I started to space out, I was thinking about how fucked up this day has been from the weird screaming to the barn being empty on a Saturday morning. I snapped back to reality  when I herd a branch break behind me. I looked around me, nothing looked familiarly. Where was I? Why did my head hurt? All of a sudden I felt my body fall off Cobble and then everything went black.
