Riverwood Academy - AIRLINE BLUE

|| maccas at 4am||

its early. 2am and im at the stables in pitch darkness and its friday

" come on swiper." i said tugging on swipers lead. he closed his eyes tried. i pulled him a few more times and he made some sleepy steos into the asile way. i tied him and took his rug off and replaced it with his show rug. i did up all the buckles then wrapped his tail and put his boots on.

i took a photo off course and led him to a grass patch and let him graze while i waited for mr. corner. the stars look so pretty at night. so peacful and calming. all i care about doing is placing well enough so mr. corner will buy or lease pharaoh for me. hes all i need in this world at this point. i didnt get enough rides in. then again no one does. weither it was three rides or a hunred thousand it will be enough. no matter if we own out heart horses or not they are our whole world.

"ready to load up?" a voice asked, mr. corners, breaking the silince. i nodded and we made our way to the trailers. swiper loaded with ease and i tied him up loosley along with a hay net. i watched as his eyes closed. i gave his muzzle a kiss.

"sleep up." i smile at him as i made my way into the back seat. i'd manged to convince mr. corner to let brook come. mr. corner wanted to load swiper up an hour before we left incase we had probelms but we had none, brook would be here in thirty.

" go grab your show stuff and your groom." mr. corner said. i nodded and started walking to the dorm. brook was only coming to be my stable hand. we all knew i'd do all the work and brook would be taking photos though. 

brook was sitting on her bed with her phone screen lighting ehr face up.

"come on brook." i whispered. she got up and we grabbed our bags and crept out of the dorm and down to the stables. we put everything in the back seat with us and plugged our phones into the charging port while we waited for mr. corner to come.

" i cant belive im going to the youth grandpirx, if i win this i could be one of the best riders under 18 in the world." i said and me and brook both squealed. i glanced at my phone.

good luck babe 

i smiled at it then i saw it was from an unknown number

good luck <3 text me when you get there

i screamed but it was from alex so i was okay. brook took my phone and i closed my eyes knowing she was going to read everything. i could hear her mutter under her breathe.

"who is it?" she asked? her face was wracked with worry.

"flin. im dealing with it." i whispered and took my phone back and looked away. the car started and as we drove i could feel the worry of brook. despite we'd grown close and i really loved her now. i watched the senry as we drove. not saying anything.

i opened my eyes to be met with early light and brooks face.

"tryig to sleep." i mumbled rubbing my eyes.

"where gettting maccas what do you want?" she asked. i ordered some nuggies, fries and a frozen coke and a ice coffee for later cause show ground food often sucks.

i sat there eating my food and drinking while i looked over the show course again. me and brook whispered to eachother just talking about the course.

we fianlly arrived around miday. there where alresady heaps of people cause most people had to travel far, even from around the world. me and brook pressed our faces to the window while pointing at famous horses that where lead past.

we got out and unloaded Swiper on a grass patch. i tied him loosley to a tree while i streched cause everyhting hurt.

"you girls all good to find the stables?" mr. corner asked walking over to us and giving swiper some pats. me and brook nodded and untied swiper and started heading in the direction of the stables. we where stopped by a woman infront of the stables.

"name?" she asked " middle as well." she looked rather bored. im guessing she had to deal with jersk sneaking in.

"Aella Rhea Gold and my horse is Swiper no Swiping and this is my groom Brooklyn Wright." i said and breathed heavily.

"that was a lot of words." i muttered to brook who nodded.

"stable 11." she smiled at me and we thanked her and walked past. the stables where state of the art. massive stalls with arch ways. my jaw dropped. barley and shows actully had stables for the riders but this one did. i found stable 11 and it was so big. me and brook got swiper in.

"i think this stall is bigger then the arena." brook said as she took his travel boots off. i took his halter off and put a fly mask on.

" we have to braid his mane and give him another wash later. first we should unpack then i'll ride." brook nodded and we headed to mr. corner and grabbed out stuff.

the place we where staying was on the grounds and only for the riders in the main show. me and brook where sharing our own mini aparment.

"okay girls, campus rules still apply here. but you can go anywhere on the grounds here. if you want to leave into town tell me." he smiled and left. as he turned his back i flipped him off. brook glared at me. we unpacked quickly and walked down to the stables.

"hey, lets get you groomed." i said to swiper. me and brook headed to the trailer to grab my stuff. we where keeping it here so there was a less chance of my stuff getting sabotaged. i dont want to loose swiper like i did rimel.

i walked into the trailer and grabbed everything. me and brook waddled over to the stables trying not to drop anything. 

"aella?" brook said. i didnt say anything and put the tack out side his stall. sudnley i heard a scream and tack fall. i looked up and i saw a flash of white hair.

flin.

my head exploded in pain and eveyrthing faded black and i fell to the floor and took a sharp breathe before the world slipped from my view and mind.
