Alone (Three Musketeers)

Three Musketeers

Caviar was still asleep laying in the grass outside of the town. The sun began to rise and clear away the haze that settled down during the night.

Caviar moved her head trying to keep the sun out of her eyes but it didn't seem to work at all. She huffed and got up. Mother Nature always has to ruin everything.

She lowered her head and grabbed her hat that fell off in the middle of the night with her teeth and put it on. Something was different...

Trooper was gone. There was no trace of where he went any where. But it was to early in the morning for Caviar to think straight.

"Trooper?" Caviar called out for her friend and walked in circles trying to see if she could spot him but he was no where to be seen. Maybe he was just in the town?...

She walked toward the town. Chills were sent down her spine. This place gave her the creeps but she tried to push that fact out of her mind while she walked down the empty streets alone.

It was so quiet. Every step Caviar took seemed to echo through the entire town endlessly. She stayed on alert at all times while she searched for her two friends, going in and out of buildings.

But still no sign of either Trooper or Totillas. Where could they be?...

Caviar knew something was wrong. Why wouldn't something be wrong? Both of her friends has mysteriously disappeared some how during their "stay" here.

But something else was wrong. She got a strange feeling that seemed to follow her around as she explored the town in search of the two others. A feeling like she was being watched by some pony.

But who? There was no other horse in here except her... Caviar looked around cautiously as she walked. The feeling kept getting stronger. Her heart raced in her chest as if it were going to stop at any moment.

The sound of galloping hooves came from the roof tops. Caviar looked up at them but no pony was there. The sound of the galloping hooves raced in circles around her and she tried to follow them. She tried to follow them best she could but she couldn't see any pony.

What was happening?! How was this possible?! Caviar kept following the sounds of the hooves but she couldn't see any pony.

Caviar backed up. Maybe she was missing something. But as she was backing up she bumped into some pony. She slowly turned around. Her heart was racing. She was scared about who was behind her.

"Where have you been?" Trooper looked at Caviar. He was searching for her the entire time that she was searching for him.

"Trooper!" Caviar had a huge thing of relief lifted off of her shoulders. She hugged her friend.

Trooper was confused as to why she was so happy to see him all the sudden. Normally they had arguments but Trooper could never refuse a hug. He was like a giant teddy bear.

"Have you found Totillas yet?... Or anything that could help us find him?..." Caviar backed up and looked at Trooper. She wanted to find Totillas more than anything right now.

"No, I was looking for you so I wasn't very focused on that... Have you?" Trooper looked at Caviar.

"No... I was looking for you..." Caviar looked up at Trooper. The two stared at each other realizing they just wasted about 5 hours searching for one another when they could have been searching for Totillas.

But to be fair neither of them knew that the other wasn't in danger.

"Mayb-" Caviars voice trailed off fast when she heard the galloping hooves again. She had hoped it was Trooper who was the one galloping when she found him, but it seemed as though that there was still more to this mystery than they expected.

Trooper looked at Caviar then around trying to find who was galloping around them. Though the horse creating such a loud noise was good at not wanting to be seen apparently.

"Looks like we have a friend." Trooper grabbed his sword looking around still. Caviar nodded and grabbed her sword as well.

Though their swords were of no use to them. Troopers legs flew out from under him and he fell against the ground hard. A white flash came over him then everything went black.

A bag was put over Caviars head. She reared up whinnying loudly, trying to get the bag off her head. She bucked around trying to kick who ever did this but suddenly a dark hit her in the flank.

Caviar slowly began to calm down before passing out. A horse tied chains around her back lags and began to drag her off. The leader of the group took her hat and set it where they took her down at.

Trooper began to regain consciousness almost an hour later. He shook his head as his fuzzy eye sight began to clear up. He stood up and looked around. He didn't see Caviar any where...

But when he looked down Caviars Three Musketeer hat laid on the ground with a rolled up letter that was tied with a blood red silk ribbon.
