Midnight

Searching

Hi everyone, welcome back to my story, before I begin writing I just want to let you know I had travelled to Edmonton over the weekend and there was no internet there, so that is why there was no chapter, I decided to write the next chapter today instead.

        I stared out at the mountains where Twilight had run, then I went into the barn and grabbed Midnight's tack.

"Sorry boy, I know we just came back from the parade but Twilight's gone and I don't want to leave her out for the night." I stammered

      I tacked Midnight up an raced out to the mountains. After a while, Midnight began to slow.

"Getting tired boy? It's okay just go at a walk for now." I said

     We walked slowly through the mountains, It was getting late but I did not want to turn back. I continued down the mountain path following the hoof steps. There was still no trace of Twilight or any of the other horses.

      After about an hour it was ten o'clock. I untacked Midnight and set them on a nearby tree. Then Midnight lay down on the side of the path with me curled up between his legs. Midnight kept me warm the whole night and when I woke up the next morning I was refreshed but also very nervous and scared for Twilight. I tacked Midnight back up and we travelled along the path again searching for Twilight. It had rained last night and all the tracks, our chance of finding the missing horses faded, We walked around mindlessly listening for any whinnying, watching for any movement, and looking for any more tracks in the fresh mud.

          After a few days, I began to lose hope. We had searched for three days now and still no horses. I missed Twilight and I was worried I would never find her. I think Midnight picked up on my feeling because I felt him grow sad and lose hope as well. We were both tired and exhausted. Mom was probably terribly worried about us as well. I handed Midnight our last bit of food and kept moving.

       After another hour I saw smoke rising into the air. It meant someone was there! I followed the smoke hoping to find the horses or at least get some help finding them. When I arrived I saw a horrifying sight I would never forget...
