Four
(A/N pic of Four above or to side plz tell me if it's not visible)
The slow pace has only gotten me to the center of the bridge, it rumbles with the placement of each hoof. My mare walks careful but presses on without hesitation. She trusts me because she knows she will not endure on this journey, only I. We take our final steps off the bridge and as the horses remove their final hoof the bridge collapses and turns into a Smokey dust, leaving no trace that it was ever there. I hear shuffling and see the young man I picked up is awake and confused. He is staring at me intensely, at my hair and eyes. I just stare back at him.
Mystery POV
I can feel the swaying gait of a horse but do not remember anything about getting on one. I shift into an upright position and see the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She had the brightest and longest blonde hair and sun kissed, perfectly flawless skin that seemed to glow. To be honest everything about her seemed to glow. She turned and stared deep into my soul and I never wanted to look away from her sparkling, crystal blue eyes. They went so deep it seemed as though they were endless. But all good things come to an end, she looked back to the trail.
"Your awake. How are you feeling?" Her voice was heavenly, I did not know how true that statement was. Her voice sounded like silk and rolled right off her tongue in a thick southern accent.
"I'm alive." Was all I responded with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The boy thought his 'I'm Alive' joke was funny. And maybe to another person who hadn't witnessed six murders it would be. "Yes. What is your name?"
"Four." Um boy thats a number stop playing.
"Yea that's a number but good try."
"I am called Four." He said deathly serious.
"Ok Four. How old are you and why were you in that canyon."
"I am nineteen and I was there to be killed because I wouldn't kill the fifth person. Hell I didn't want to kill the first four. But it was that or my sister, lover, and mom. Dad was already dead."
"Oh...Is that why..."
"I said Four? Yes..."
"I'm sorry."
"Thank you.." We fell silent as the horses continued.
