Left Alone

Chapter 14

I ran down one of the stairwells. Then, I realized that I shouldn't be running. I slowed down. I walked out back, just like mother had showed me.

I ran out. It was around 5:12. I hoped I had time.

I ran to the place where mother and I picnicked. Then, I ran in the direction I remembered.

I came to the gate. I opened it, and hopped over the fence.

I stepped into the stables. Horses were there. That boy I saw wasn't there. Oh well. I chose to check tomorrow.

I petted the horse that I recently 'shared' with, while hiding from the boy. I was really starting to regret hiding from him. I needed a friend. Or at least I need to try to make one.

The horse was quite small.
The horse looked a dark hazelnut color, with dark brown eyes and a streak of white on its back. I stroked it's mane, and it neighed.

I decided to head back, since it was near dinner time, and I had to wash and prepare.

I turned around, getting ready to leave, but I looked back at the horse.

I thought in my head to the horse.

I'm going to call you Stardust.

Then I turned back, and I ran back to the palace.

A/N: I switch writing on this and my other story, "Pusheen's Diary." If you haven't read that, please go check it out! I will keep tending to switch chapters with both of my stories, so sorry if I keep you waiting on a particular one.
