The Ranch Hand

Chapter 4

I pulled on Dixie's right rein causing her to turn down my favorite trail with the wild flowers that grow year round. I squeezed Dixie's sides making her walk turn into a trot. We trotted into a wild flower patch where I stopped her and slid off her. I lay on a fallen down tree branch while Dixie grazed in the flowers. It was getting dark but I didn't care, I lie their listening to the coyotes howling at the full moon which was they only thing lighting up the night.

I finally flung myself back onto Dixies back and started cantering home down the same way we came in. I pulled back on her reins telling her to slow down because she had been cantering for awhile and we were both tired. We walked down the final path that lead home so we walked slowly. I heard a weird sound coming from the bushes and brush, I was starting to get freaked out until a raccoon came scurrying on out and my heart stared to catch its beat again.

When we finally arrived home, I put Dixie back in her stall and gave her a goodnight kiss. I closed the big barn sliding doors and ran to the front porch. I took off my boots and ran upstairs to my room. my grandparent were already asleep, when I checked the time it was already 12:30pm, I undressed and put on my pajamas for the night then I picked up my clothes and put them in the dirty clothes hamper. I climbed into bed and closed my eyes, "well", I thought to myself, "this is my new life", which actually sounded amazing. I slowly drifted off into a deep sleep without a worry on my mind.

So what do u guys think. I know it's a short chapter but its pretty descriptive. love you all.
