Sasha is a tall and long-limbed fourteen year old girl with long and thin golden-blonde hair that shone in the sunlight and her ocean-blue eyes sparkled with the experience of adventures and curiosity. She wore a deep blue-gold blouse with a shiny golden crown locket in the middle of her blouse and a simple, but beautiful golden-heart locket necklace with a small picture of her family and their pets on a Roman beach together, along with a beautiful blue and silver tiger charm necklace. On her tender beige skin with a shimmering ocean-blue painted butterfly tattoo wrapped around on her left upper arm.
She loves animals, books about myths and legends, and reading/writing fantasies.
She was playing in her three dogs' backyard known as Shadow, Silver, and Bella.
Shadow is a thin-furred and narrowed-shoulder tan and brown male German shepherd/husky with four white socks, a white dash on his nose, a dark brown muzzle, ice-blue eyes, and a black collar. Silver is a thin-furred and slender silver-white husky-wolf (more dog than wolf), her eyes are stunningly blue, crossing the color of the sky and the ocean with a bright twinkle and her collar is  ocean-blue. Lastly, Bella is light golden-brown golden retriever/German shepherd mix breed with dark brown eyes and a pink collar.
Sasha laughed as her three beautiful and strong dogs started chasing her over the hill.
Sasha and her parents have a huge backyard with a stables nextdoor to the house. Their home is attached to a nearby forest that's lies on the other side of the river.
She laughed as the dogs as they started licking her legs and her hands. They had caught up with her and Sasha started scratching the dogs behind the ears.
"Sasha! Shadow! Silver! Bella! You four come over here! Your cousins are here! Your aunt and uncle sent three gifts for you and your cousins!" called her mother.
"Coming!" called out Sasha eagerly.
Sasha's parents had told her that her cousins will be living with them from now on.
Sasha got out a roped whistle from her soft and dark blue shorts. With a deep breath, she blew through the whistle and a sharp and valiant sound had been made.
Sasha put away her whistle and a majestic white female horse with pale tan patches and a flowing white-blonde mane and tail  started trotting away from the American Painted Herd, and towards Sasha and the dogs. 
The regal mare stood by Sasha's side and helped her up on to her back. Sasha singled the dogs to follow her and Penelope. With a eager whinny, Sasha held tightly on to Penelope's soft mane and they ran across the open field.
Sasha breathed in deeply as she felt her horse galloped across the field. Penelope's muscles bunched and expanded as she charged across the sunlit fields. She wrapped her arms around her white and pale tan neck, feeling the gentleness of her flowing mane against her cheeks. Her slender muscles rippled, gliding through the air currents. She swerved and ducked, startling birds and excited the dogs.
Butterflies and flowers flew as they galloped across the open fields. Sasha sighed again, she felt her heart soar again, and a thrill of excitement went down her back. She caught her breath and watched beyond the horizon, blurred and beautiful. But she can make out the forest on the other side of the rushing river, the forest held so many mysteries but it shone life and ancient magic.
But then Sasha straightened herself up and slowed Penelope  down into a gentle trot when a big, golden-white house appeared on a hill in the light of the sun. Next to the house was the stables, it was a indoor stables in case of a tough storm. There was also outside fencing for excepting mother horses and wild horses.
But Sasha saw her dad and mom.
Her father is a tall man with brown hair that's tucked in behind his ears, humorous sea-blue eyes, and wore his riding gear. Her mother is a little shorter with shoulder-length black hair, dark brown eyes, tanned skin, and wore her usual apron.
"Hi Dad! Hi Mom!" said Sasha as she waved to them with a brilliant smile.
Her dad laughed when he saw the dogs panting happily and their hides were sweating.
"Looks like you gave the dogs a good run, eh Sasha?" said Dad with a teasing smile.
"That's one word for it." said Sasha with a laugh and a smile.
Sasha dismounted from her horse, and hugged her sad-eyed cousins. There was four of them, known as Vicky, Jake, and Eva. With them was a small white ploddle mix breed, known as Toney and a female cream-brown and white Australian shepherd half grown puppy named Skyla.
Their parents are recovering from a car accident. So Sasha's parents decided to take them till their parents are fully recovered.
"Hi Vicky, Jake, and Eva." said Sasha with a grin to her cousins. "We're now going to be siblings."
"Nice to see you too, little sister." laughed Vicky as she held hands with Sasha.
Sasha and Vicky were both born on the same year but in different months. Eva was one year older than them, same thing with Jake.
This is going to be so much fun. thought Sasha, overjoyed.
"I can't wait to show you three around." said Sasha, smiling.
"We can't wait either, sister." said Vicky as she returned the smile.
"Let's get inside," said Mom. "We can open the gifts there."
"Let's hurry inside before it starts raining." added Dad.
"Aye, I sure do not like getting wet." said Sasha with a frown. "Sometimes."
Her family started laughing as her cousins picked up the suitcases and all went indoors.
