'Raven!' I shouted whilst Zoe shouted for Luna. We were thankful when 2 horses popped their heads through the door.

'They came in through the back field.' A voice said. I turned my head and saw it was Mia.

'Who did?' I asked.

'The thieves.' Mia sniffed.
'He's gone. Firefly's gone. They took him.'

'Mia. I am so, so sorry. If there's anything I can do just let me know and I will help you and I mean it anything.' I told her.

She nodded her head.
'Thank you. I think let's just all keep searching for firefly with the police.' She told us.

Today was going to be a day with just us girls as Mom and Gramps had gone to get his plaster taken off at the hospital. Grim, I know. I got changed into a white tube top with ripped jeans and some sneakers. It was actually quite warm today so I didn't really want to wear something that will make me hot and sweaty. I was thinking of going shopping today aswell as getting some icecream.

I ran downstairs with Zoe somehow closely following. As I walked into the kitchen, Rosie started to speak.

'What if she's not going to the hospital? What if she went to meet with Mia's dad?'

'With Gramps?' Zoe asked.

'Rosie, you really need to let this go.' I told her.

'But consider the evidence. In Mom's diary, it said she was in love with somebody who was called "E". Elliot starts with E.' Rose said.

'That's your evidence, the alphabet?' I looked at the girl in front of me.

'I'm still building my case, thank you very much.' Rosie said, poking my chest before walking round the table. I widened my eyes.

'Why are you wearing stinky horse clothes?' Rosie asked.

'I wanted to go to Pony camp, and I was wondering if --.' Zoe got cut off.

'If you, Aubrey and I could go and get squished by some crazy horses? Great sister skills.' Rosie said, making my giggle.

'I just really need to talk to Pin, okay?' Zoe told us.
'I... I made a mistake.'

'He was stealing and you caught him. Where's the mistake exactly?' Rosie asked.

'You know what? You wouldn't understand.' She said, getting up.

'Try me.' Rosie told her.

'Luna told me I was wrong.' Zoe said.

'Luna? As in, the horse?' I asked.

'Now, he's a talking horse? Are you serious?' Rosie asked.

'You know what? I need to go to camp.' Zoe said.
'Why don't you two come?'
Me and Rosie looked at eachother before racing out. I grabbed the doorkeys from the counter.

'Wait. How are you gonna pay for it?' Rosie asked.
I quickly looked the door behind me before catching up with them again.

'We'll use my savings.' Zoe replied.

'What if Mom finds out?' I asked.

'She's on the mainland.' Zoe replied.

'What if I catch horse measels?' Rosie asked.

'Well, then I'll take you straight to the Center for Made-Up Diseases.' Zoe told her.

'What if I break my leg?' Rosie asked.
