Young Mary woke up, her eyes watered and her bed was messy, she slowly took her blanket off, she turned off her annoying alarm and put her morning slippers on, she opened up her curtains and the morning sun blinded her for a second, the dark room lightened up as she headed downstairs.
Her mom put eggs on a plate, and shouted from the front door. "I'm heading to work! Dont go out the house by your self!" Mary said bye, "what is she Gonna do? She wouldn't know if I left." Mary thought, she ate her food and tumbled to the couch, she watched some tv, opening the window, looking outside to see if she would hear the noise, aka, the horse.
She put her plate in the sink, she eyed the front door.. how would her mom know if she left? She wouldn't be gone long anyways, she would be fine..
She headed out the house, putting her brand new boots on as she walked to the woods, she made her way through the bramble and trees once again, "ugh! These Thorn-" she gasped, but stayed very still and quiet, the horse was in a large field, across from the woods.. she looked back and then headed her way towards the field, it looked as it was grazing. It looked up immediately it ran off, she sighed and looked at it gallop away, it ran into the forest on the other side of the field, she headed back through the bushes, and trees.. it had already been 2 hours since she left? Time went by so fast..
She finally got back home, putting her boots on the front porch, and ran to her room and tumbled on her bed, she decided she wanted to make a notebook about this horse.. and collect details, and try to get closer to it, as it wasn't even in a herd.
She headed to the kitchen, making a sandwich, she heard her mom come up the driveway and she quickly made it, she sat down at the table to eat it and began writing in her notebook, she tried to think of what color the horse was, and quickly remembered, palomino! She said out loud on accident, her mom entered the door and greeted her daughter, Mary quickly closed her notebook and hid it, but Brielle saw it "what was that?" She rose a brow, "nothing.." Mary said "show me." Ugh fine! Mary thought in her head annoyed, and put the notebook on the table.
"Did you go and see that stupid animal while I was gone?!" Brielle scolded, Mary shook her said No, but Brielle knew she was lying and got mad. "I told you not to go out there! You could've gotten hurt and I wouldn't of known!" She shouted, and hid the notebook and told her to go to her room with the anger in her voice Mary quickly ran, knowing she was quite mad.
Mary was mad at her mother, she reached to closed her curtains on the window, but something made her stop in her tracks, she saw the horse outside the window.. it quite close, but it was still in the hidden forest. She watched the horse and saw it had tiny little dapples on it, it was so gorgeous. She thought to herself, she jumped in suprise of someone knocking on her door, apparently it scared the horse too and it ran off, she turned around and saw her mother as she apologized. "I'm sorry for yelling, but it was dangerous going out there and i was worrie-" Mary interrupted, "It's fine mom, I promise I won't do it again." Brielle and her smiled, but Brielle was about to leave, Mary asked "do u know what that horse dad was trailering looked like?" Brielle looked confused, but she said "it was a palomino, and it had a few dapples" Mary looked excited, but hid it so her mother didn't suspect she was gonna go back out.
The next day, she looked around the corner to see her mom, she told her she was just gonna go in the backyard, her mom nodded and continued what she was doing.
Mary put on her boots, and went to her usual entrance through the forest, finding a clearing.
She saw the palomino through the forest, it was in the field again, she watched it as it started to gallop around.
She decided she would give it a name, she sat down at the edge of the forest and decided a name.
"Galloper?" She thought, and agreed with herself as she decided to get closer to the horse, the horse perked its ears and looked up at her, its tail was high, soon enough it put its head back down to grazing, Mary decided to write about galloper in her note book again, it was hidden before she went out, she had snuck it, soon she began writing things about its color, and more small details about the horse.
She went back home, walking up to the front porch as she would take off her boots, she turned the door handle and headed inside.
She hid the notebook, and Brielle looked suspicious but went back to the kitchen, "why were you out there so long? i didn't see you in the backyard when i looked." Mary thought of a excuse, but before she could even say it her mom knew where she snuck off, saying "listen, you can go out there, but you have to tell me!" She scolded. "What if u got hurt? How would i know where you would be?" Mary nodded and said "im sorry! I thought you wouldnt let me, so i went without telling you.. but ill tell you next time i promise!" Brielle nodded, and then sat down and gave Mary her food.
Soon after she ate, she showed her mom what the horse had looked like, as she drew it in her notebook including some other details, Brielle looked shocked, a moment of suprise on her face as she looked closer, "what?" Mary said.
"That looks alot like that mustang.. your father was trailering, but im sure its just a coincidence." Brielle muttered, she doubted it could be the same one, that horse was from a year ago.
"School starts in a week, prepare yourself." Mary rolled her eyes and sighed "ughhh i hate school!"..
