I am a horse, galloping in a field, something, someone is next to me, three someone's, a lioness, a German shepherd and a fox. All pure white like me
I awake with a jolt as I hear Sylvester, our roster call from his perch,
"Morning, It is morning, let all know it is the morning, morning!" Of course only I can understand him so I hear my father just shakes the feed bucket and pours grain on the ground,
"Here you are Sylvester." he says with a chuckle, I can see him out of my window. I leap out of bed, my red hair swishing about me like a veil, I look out my window and see my horse, Amour prancing in the snow, her brown coat sticking out like a sore thumb. I walk over to my wardrobe and open it, I have 4 dresses, 2 work dresses, a semi-formal dress, and a formal dress. My two work dresses made of fur and leather, I pull out my warmest one, its shin length with fur on the inside. I braid all of my hair so it wraps around my head like a halo and there isn't a strand out of place, I pull on some socks and boots, grab my sword and rush down-stairs.
"Hello Thea" My mother smiles, she is making oat-cakes, I grab one as I head out the door.
"Morning Mother!" I say and walk out into the snow, I don't really like the traditional 'women's chores', yes I can cook, clean, sew, take care of things around the house but I find it boring, I want to be out with animals, and actually DOING something. I walk down to the stables and smile at our pigs,
"Morning m'lady" Doug says politely with a bow,
"Morning Doug" I say and curtsey back. I walk past the stall with Ms. Helena, our old dairy cow is chewing grain,
"Hello Ms. Helena" I say and she nods back, not wanting to talk with her mouth full. I finally reach Amour's stall and she is already there,
"Hi Amour, I trust you slept well" I ask,
"Hello Thea, and yes I did thank you, and yourself?" she replies
"Very well thank you" I say and open her stall door just as a familiar pair of boot steps walk in.
"Good morning Thea" He says,
"Morning Eric, " I smile and turn to look into his beautiful hazel eyes,
"Still talking to the animals I see, " He smiles and walks over and leans on Amour's stall door that's open next to me, I blush,
"I've told a million times Eric, I can hear what they are saying" I reply and roll my eyes trying not to stare too long at his perfect black hair, Eric is our stable hand and our fathers are good friends.
"I know I know, I'm just messing with you" He laughs, "So anything planed for today?" he asks,
"Not really, thought I might go for a ride seeing that its Saturday, maybe some sparing, I wanted to go see Chalumeau(Shal-a-mo)" I reply grabbing Amour's bridle and slipping it over her head and leading her out of her stall.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked, grabbing his horse's bridle and saddle, "I think Cannon is inching for a run" he says and Cannon neighs,
"Yes please, I haven't done anything all week" Eric cant understand him so he looks at me,
"Does he?" Eric asks
"Yes of course he does" I say and swing over onto Amour's back,
"Do we really have to take Cannon?" she whispers to me
"Yes, now stop being silly" I whisper back,
"If only you weren't madly in love with Eric," She whispers and I don't answer. I watch Eric tack Cannon up and watch him swing effortlessly into the saddle, his black hair flowing like a flawless river,
"Well lets go" Eric says making Cannon walk closer, "Unless you want me to beat you" He whispers and shoots out of the barn,
"Oh No You Don't!" I yell back and Amour follows at Cannon's heels and quickly catches up to him. I ride bareback while Eric finds it scary but Amour and I enjoy it so we only ride that way, Eric smiles at me as I ride next to him, I draw my sword and yell,
"Ill beat you to Chalumeau's!!" As I get Amour to gallop faster and faster the icy wind blowing at my face, brushing Amour's black mane against my cheek, as I was galloping across the snow covered field I began to wonder like so many times before, did Eric love me too?
