For four years they were still a beautiful happy family always smiling always spending time together with the grey gelding that they named dusty.

Every day the hole family would go and spend the day with dusty but today was not like any other day. This had become a very terrible day, dusty had been spooked while Cameron was trying to teach him a trick, Cameron tragically died.
He was kicked in the head and sadly never got up.
After that Rachel was left to raise Morgan on her own.
Or was she?

Rachel was so upset the love of her life was now gone, every day got harder and harder to stay happy.

One week later they had a small funeral at the little church where they had been married.

Some days she would still go and see dusy, three or four times a week became one or two times a week until she eventually stopped going all together, it was just to painful to see the thing that had killed the love of her life.

~1 Year Later~

Morgan was five years old now, she knew her dad had died and all she had was her mother. Her mother had told her one day at the meadow that this place was very dangerous, and even at such a young age she could see the emptiness in her mother's eyes and the trembling sadness in her voice.

....................................................................................................................
For Rachel growing up as a single mother was very hard, it was something she believed would not be a problem for a very long time.

Rachel never continued going to the horses she was too upset. I mean you would be to after such a huge loss in your life.

On the other hand Morgan was growing fast, she was nearly 15 now. she had such a creative adventurous spirit just like her dad. Her mum would let her go out and find new places and things to explore most days because Rachel new that being at home was boring and depressing without her father there who had always lifted the mood and made everyday a new game or adventure.

One day while Morgan was out and about walking, she found a huge Forest entrance. She looked to her left she couldn't see the end, it just seemed to go on forever. She looked to her right but still she could not see the end. She thought to herself  "Wow there must be billions trees."

She took on step into the forest and was lost in what felt like a wonderland filled with magnificent nature and wildlife.

Hours seem to go by before the sound of a loud thud echos around Morgan as she stumbles over a tree root. As Morgan picks herself up she finds herself at an opening in the trees, beautiful vines of a will tree hanging down between the two parted trunks. As she steps through blinded by light she rapidly starts blinking and a gorgeous world around her forms.
