I do (prequel)

Chapter three: one day away

It's not like when I always wake up. Everyone is working, and I'm back in the stool again bright and early in the morning. Amy and measuring me again. I just stared outside off of the deck. The sun sparkled in my eyes as it starts to rise. Blue birds where playing and fly around.

I start to get all excited as a bit smile squirms across my face. "One day away." I saw trying not to bounce around and get pocked. Amy started to mumble under her breath, and I frowned. I just ignored her, and continued to watch the birds playing in the the sky. It took a couple hours, but Amy got her measures for my body, then disappeared.

I walked out onto the porch, and the birds were still playing around in the sky. The birds slowly drifted towards me, then landed on the railing. I smile brightly, as I started to pet one. It had nice deep and sky blue feather. As I gently scratched under neath it's pretty blue feathers, the bird started to turn black. I gasped and quickly stopped scratching under its chin, and the black stopped growing.

The bird was still pretty, but had black all under its chin. I stared at it, then I made a few sounds and happily flew away with its friend. I stared at my hand, then Amy came up from behind me. "Uh, Regina was wondering if you wanted to groom the horses and set them up for tomorrow." Amy said figiding with her hands.

"Where is she planning on going?" I asked her quite confused. "She wants you to meet her in the forest tomorrow when you get up." Amy answered. "Before the wedding?" I ask playing with the ring with my thumb. "Yes." She said. "O-Okay." I said as I slowly walked down the stairs to the front doors.

I walked over to the very pretty horses. Black is a beautiful color. All four was eating hay, until they saw me then they neighed happily. I smiled and walked up to each one and gently petted them. I brushed there backs, and comb there beautiful soft black hair. I even changed there hay because I wanted to do more for the horses.

The last horse looked like he wanted to go for a ride. I told a guard to tell Regina that I'll be out for a ride and I'll be back soon. As the guard walked off, I petted the horse a bit more then I started to place the saddle in his back. When I was ready to set off, the guard came back. He bowed before he spoke.

"Your majesty, the queen would like a guard to come along to be safe." The guard said. "Okay, you're coming with me then." I say as I go to the stable beside the horse that I have ready, and I set the saddle up on that one. The guard offered to help, but I denied. I loved setting the horses up. The guard tightened his sword holsters, then hopped on the horse that I finished setting up for him.

Then I hopped on mine. We rode to the dirt path in the forest. The horses walked down the path, and something ran in front of us and stopped. I gently pulled the lead to make the horse stop. It was a deer, a beautiful brown deer. It was the most beautifulest deer I've ever seen, and a living and breathing one I've ever seen.

I grunted heavily from running to much. It was almost as if it was tempting to walk up to me, it didn't take any chances and I dashed off into a bush. I smiled as I watched it dash off. I gently kicked the horse in the hips with my heels making the horse start to runs. We ride far down the dirt path.

The sound of the horses hooves hitting the dirt was almost like listening to a little child, hitting it's hollow toys on the rocks. The horse would stop running, and neighed if I slouched. We kept going, then we came across a beautiful lake, with sand around it. We stopped for a little bit. I hopped off of my horse, but the guard stayed on his to keep watch.

My horse neighed as I got off. I just smiled then gently itched under his chin. I walked over to the lake and kneeled down, I cupped my hands together and filled my hands with the lake water. I drank what was in my hands, then the horse came over and lied down beside me on the nice warm sand that the sun kept warm.
