Mixed fates

Chaper one: The blood rain.

The loud thump of hooves hits the gravel floor, Emma rides out of the the stable on her large black shire horse Charlie, her long blonde hair whipped in the wind behind her flying free like a bird and showing her pointed ears. The huge beast stops in front of a short old man, Emma's father and king Elias nightingale. He looked decrepit and tired "Emma why the hell are you doing!?" He snarled at her. "Get down here NOW!!"  Emma dropped the horses restraints, folded her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes. "Not a chance." She was stern and quick with her remark. "This is not how a princess should act!!" Elias grabbed onto Emma's saddle and tried to pull her off of the large horse. His actions frightened the majestic creature and it whipped its long tail at Elias hitting his hand with grate force. Elias immediately pulled his hand back. "Stupid creature I should have it killed for that!!" Emma looks shocked by her dads words and yells "no father you can't!! You'd just scared him!!" The corners of Elias's lips curl into a sinister grin as he speaks as if some kind of villain. "That's it ill have your little beast killed this afternoon at exactly 5pm so go spend the last few hours you have left with him wisely." Emma looked shocked and her eyes filled with tears she knew her father only wanted to hurt her and was using her only friend to do so. "You are evil!!" She exclaimed as she rides off and out of the kingdoms grounds as fast as she possibly could, her vision clouded by tears. She whipped her tears away with her forearm. The loud clank of large hooves stops and she hugs Charlie's large neck crying into it, as if sensing her sadness Charlie turns his head to look at her. "I love you Charlie..." Emma whispered through her tears. She sits up and says "No more crying I'm determined to make today the best day with you I've ever had..." she smiles after whipping her tears away one final time and hoping off Charlie. "Let's go for a walk through the woods, you love the woods don't you Charlie?"  Charlie whines at Emma acknowledging her question, Emma pets Charlie's nose and leads him to the woods."I wonder if those flowers are in season...you know the red ones that look like they are from another world?" Emma's exclaimed to Charlie with a smile, all Charlie did was tilt his head and continued to walk behind her obediently.
