Marie bolted into my room. Tears streamed down her face and Tyler opened his arms for her. He lifted her into his arms and she laid her head on his shoulder. "Tyler... sissy..." she cried.

"I'm here lil sis." I hugged Tyler so Marie was in between us. I pulled her into my arms and she let the floodgates crash down, releasing a new wave of sobs.

Mom appeared in the door way. She looked at the three of us standing together. I shot an icy venom fulled glare at her. she retreated out of the room. I held Marie on my hip and used my free hand to wipe away her tears. Tyler and I looked at each other and nodded. I carried Marie down stairs and out to the barn. She held tightly to me and held onto my hood. Sarah, Jordan, Jasmine, and Maddison where giggling happily while they washed their horses. They smiled at me.

"Clara! Co- What's wrong? why is Marie crying?" this made Marie cry harder.

"Tell you later. the three of us need to be alone for now." I gritted my teeth together.

"The three of you? who's the- oh. okay. Talk to you later." she smiled at me.

I told Tyler to get all of our horses into cross ties while I went with Marie to get our tack. She carried all three grooming boxes, and all three saddle pads.  I carried all three saddles and all three bridles. I was breathless by the time I got back. I bridled each horse while Marie and Tyler put the saddle pads and saddles on. I grabbed everyone's western saddles because I didn't know how long we would be gone.

Jogging back from the tack room, I slid everyone's saddle bags onto their horses.I ran to the house and grabbed a bunch of food and a bunch of water bottles. I put those into Caramel's saddle bags and tied the sleeping bags to my saddle. my saddle bags held the horses halters, lead ropes, and blankets. Tyler tied the tent to his saddle and his saddlebags held our grooming kits.  I swung into the saddle and waited for my sister and boyfriend.  when all of us were ready, I trotted out if the barn. They followed me and we were gone. where we were going? Heck, I didn't know. But we were gone.
