The familiar whacking of sticks being slammed against the poor saplings were all the kids ever heard. Along with Annalise calling out orders and hitting the boys backside when they did a stroke even the slightest bit wrong. Logan and Alex caught on pretty fast, keeping in time and hitting in the perfect strokes. Devon on the otherhand, wasn't as quick to understand the difference between hitting with pure rage with a battle axe and actually using balance and tactics when using a sword. Or, in this case, a stick.
"Over hand, back hand, step back, duck forward, backward swing, back hand! Devon get your head out of the clouds and follow my orders!" Annalise turned to see Devon staring in the distance, where only fields were, instead of following the orders that Annalise was calling out. The two sweaty boys, Alex and Logan stopped their strokes and let the battered sticks fall from their palms that were icky from the sweat that had produced there.
"Wild stallion coming right our way!" Devon yelled out, fear sneakig into his tone. Annalise let her eye brows furrow in confusion, looking the way where Devon was pointing. Annalise lifted her hand to shade her eyes from the sun to get a better view of the apparent stallion that was over there. As Annalise did this, Alex and Logan came to Annalise's side and looked for themselves at this stallion.
Annalise couldn't get a clear view, but she knew it wasn't a stallion. The horse didn't look quite as big as a normal horse let alone a stallion. As the bolting horse came closer toward their group, Annalise finally got a more clearer view. Annalise let her brown eyes stare at the horse, recognising the black shaggy fur and her long shaggy mane that Annalise had always concentrated on getting it perfectly groomed. Annalise's heart leaped out of her chest in excitement and shock seeing her best mate running toward her. "Beauty!" Annalise screamed out to er horse and before she could hear any confused questions from the boys, started to race toward her horse that she had missed so badly.
When Annalise reached Beauty, she burried her face in her mane, gripping her arms around her neck, not wanting to ever let go. "I missed you so much." Annalise said, her voice muffled from her mouth being pressed against Beauty's mane. And, in the process, got a mouthful of her shaggy hair. Beauty nieghed in reply to Annalise, nudging her shoulder. Annalise let go to see what Beauty was doing and realised she was searching her pockets for an apple.
Excuse me? Where is my apple?
her big brown and humerous eyes seemed to say. Annalise let a giggle escape her lips before the boys joined Annalise.
Beauty seemed to only just realise the unfamiliar faces and leaped back, uncomfortable with the foreign scents. She neighed up in panic worried for hersewlf and for her masters safety. Annalise quickly rushed to calm her and Beauty instantly calmed at her master's touch. "Woah girl! They're friends." Beauty eyed the strangers wearily. Only then did Annalise realise how worn out Beauty was.
"Looks like we have another diva in our hands." Devon laughed reaching his hand out to pat Beauty. But, before Devon's hands could reah Beauty's fur, the black horse let a sneeze explode from her nostrils putting goey and disgusting snot all over devon's hand. Annalise exploded in a fit of laughter seeing the disgusted face of Devon. Then, once Annalise had caught her breath, turned to Devon who was now trying to flick the snot at ALex and Logan to shut the laughing and giggling up.
"I don't think she likes you, Devon." Annalise said, letting a big grin spread acroos her face. Devon finally managed to get the snot off, and made sure to steer clear from Beauty. Annalise turned back to Beauty, her breath ragged from what looked like a long run.
"Where did you come from?" Annalise wondered out loud. The boys surrounded Beauty except for devon who stayed about 10 metres away. Annalise looked at the boys and saw curiousity filling their eyes. Annalise then turned back to Beauty, seeing for any injuries and only for the first time, noticed a saddle on her back. Annalise furrowede her eye brows and looked over the saddle for any confirmation of identity. And that's when she saw it. At the bow of the saddle a name was engraved on it. A name that made her stomach plummet all the way down to space and beyond.
"Will..." She said, her voice barely audible from the shock of seeing Will's name.
That meant that he was somewhere near here. And somewhere very close.
