" Today will be a bright, sunny day with highs of of 25" I switched the TV of angry as I looked outside to see the rain trickling down the window and a whirl wind of leaves being swept of the ground why is it always cold here?

Elle had gone to visit her dad who just come back from Africa so I was alone. I swaggered into the kitchen looking for something to do my feet scedded on the slippery surface. I sat down my arms flopped on the table I scrunched my hole body into a ball to keep warm. " you know they are blankets in the storing cubard" a small figure said from behind the cabinet she was chopping onions. She turned around and smiled "LINDA! What are you doing you here? you should be in bed". She walked over to a line of small copboards she stopped for a minute then reached for the far one to discover piles of blankets all different colours she picked the first one a pale light blue one with red trimmings on the edges. She handed to me, I wrapped it around me the soft wool comforting me I sighed with relif this was perfect. She returned to the cabinet and began chopping " I'm actually feeling really good this mourning I woke up from having no night mares and I felt amazing". I smiled Linda had never been as well as this you could she was well her hair glistened in the light and her smile was wide and generous " that's amazing Linda but wheres the housekeeper Nancy?". " Oh I let her have a day of she has done so much these past Couple of weeks as Iv been I'll and as I'm feeling better I thought she could have time to relax"

"um let me think what she will do on her day of probally take a plane to austrailia and never come back" I mummered she un blievibly heard it and gave me look that told me to shut up. "Lunch will be in half an hour maybe go out for some fresh air before the weather gets any worse". Not wanting to disagree I UN wrapped my self from my cocoon and grab my fury coat and my big black boots that had kept my feet warm one time I was locked outside for two hours and It was snowing. I gave one last glimpse of cosiness before stepping outside the wind picked up and so did my hair my black curled hair was swishing from side to side and wrapping it self around my head.

I looked around the garden for a bit the dark bare trees looked sad there branches intwined to each other as if they were trying to shelter from the cold winter to come. I decided to go to stables for a bit even though no one would be there as it was cold I like to see the horses one in particular.

I walked down the long narrow uneven path that followed down to the horses. As soon as I got down I had the most biggest woof of horse poo even though I like the smell of horses this one I could not stand I zipped up my jacket right to the top and run into a stable. As the smell started to drift away I looked around I small scruffy Shetland pony was staring at me suddenly it starting lifting it's hoof by no time at all it charged at me it mouth wide open and ears forward. Lucky I was quite good at gym I jumped over the door just before the fat pony had time to pummel me to the floor. I looked at the stable door it said then name in clear letters SUGAR then bellow WARNING this horse will charge at you if you enter the stable. I laughed it just should of said Ceaillia don't go in there! I brushed my self of and headed to the other stables I was quite surprised for such a tiny yard its has alot of horses in it.

I looked at all the horses some reminded me of some of the horses back at my yard. They all seemed well groomed and fed. I finally got to the last stable i knew who it was but I still wanted to check. I pocked my head into the dusty stable I couldn't see him. I looked down just to check I had the right stable it said in big letters GHOST. Suddenly I heard a horse grunt I turned around so I was facing the paddock. That's when I saw him is slim, slick black body cantering around the field. His head swishing to and throw his ears up right and his eyes straight head. Then I remembered that this mourning was my last day to ride I shock my head angrily why does this always happen to me. I walked closer to get a better view of ghost canter it was swift but still gentle the rider looked at ease. He cantered past he's body moving at quick pace then he stop dead still like there was a brick wall in front of him then I realized it was me. " I'm so sorry I didn't mean to interrupt" I said in my most nicest voice " not at all I was about to finish" and with that he elegantly dismounted. He took the rains and calmly lead ghost out of the field he span around so that we distance apart. " I'm Barry Kempt and I own ghost and I'm guessing your Cecilia who has been loaning ghost for a few days I am I right?" I shock my head " yes i am and I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was riding him". He smiled " well I haven't heard that in along time you see ghost is quite different from any horse you really have to get to know him before he lets you ride it's trust" we continued walking to we reached his stable Barry led him in carefully before un tacking him. I felt bad just standing there Barry noticed my guilt "do you mind filling up ghosts water for me?" I didn't need to say anything I grabbed the rubber bucket swung it round so it was under the tap.

" All done "he rubbed he's hands together as we sat down on the bench opposite the yard. I smiled the rain had stopped pouring but the wind was stronger than ever " if you don't mind me asking Mr Kempt but why did you ride ghost in this weather I only rode in the early mourning to avoided the rain but it was awfully cold". He looked up at the sky you could see a speak of blue sky " this might sound awfully weird but ghost works best when it is horrible conditions like today wheres there's no sun atoll" it didn't sound weird atoll it made perfect sense. I looked at my watch 1.00 Linda was expecting me now. " I hate to be rude but I must dash" " not at all and you may ride ghost any time you want I trust you and so does he" by that time I was already up the hill " thanks" I shouted. I lifted my arm up to wave but he was already gone.

I ran up the icy steps trying not to fall. I pushed open ready to plea out my apologia but I stopped my body trembled at the sight of what I had just seen. Linda was lying on the floor stone cold.
