Blossoms on fire

Chapter 4

EDITED

I ended thinking about it.

Then someone opened the doors.

'Hi.' he says.

I look who it is.

'Ben.' I say.

'I said that I want to be alone. Please...' I please.

'Leonora, time passes quite quickly. I do not want to lose my time with you.' he says.

He comes to me. He catches my hand. And he holds it tight by my wrist.

'Please, Ben.' I please again.

'Let' s go!' he says.

And he starts running. I am flying in the mid-air because of him. Then he stops and I land on the ground. 

'Thank you that you stopped.' I say sarcastically.

'No problem.' he says with a smile.

'Can you please walk?' I ask.

'Nope, how I said time is flying quite fast.' he replies.

He runs with me to the stables. He gets one horse. He helps me get on it. Then he does it by himself and I am behind him.

'Ben, I do not know.' I say.

'What?' he asks.

'I have never been on the horse.' I say.

'I am here. Problem solved.' he says.

'No it is not.' I say.

'Butterfly, do not be scared it is just the horse.' he says.

'It is not that I do not know...' I start but he did not let me continue and he makes horse run.

It is not that I do not know what to do.

Super.

The horse is running quite fast. I am looking around. There are meadows full of plants with colourful blossoms. It shines there like a rainbow. Then the horse is running through the forest and then around the lake. The lake is clear as a mirror. By a  second horse sharply turn left and I almost fall. Ben, fortunately, caught me and stopped the horse. He turns around to see if I am okay. 

'Why did not you hold tight?!' he yells.

'You did not say anything like that.' I say.

'I did not because I thought that you are capable of doing it without me saying that.' he says.

'I said I have never been riding the house.' I say.

'You are not riding him. You are just sitting here. And everything you needed to do was hold tight.' he says.

I am quite. I do not want to talk about it.

'Leonora, hold tight.' he says.

Let me be. I do not want to ride a horse with you again.

I try to jump off the horse and somehow I did. I fall a bit into some muddy puddle. So my dress got dirted. But I do not mind now. My hands took the cloth of the dress and get it up. And then I start to the running back to the palace.

'LEONORA!' he says.

'I am going back to the palace.' I yell back. And after that, I did not turn behind me.

It passed like an hour. Fortunately, I met some soldier who helped me to got back to the palace. Then I met Ave and she helped me to my room.

'Thank you so much, Ave.' I say.
