Heartland (Fanfic)

Chapter 6 and 7

Chapter 6

 A police man went to the place where all the family was waiting. “It´s been forty minutes” he said looking to each one´s terrified faces. “The firefighters could stop one part of the fire”. “They found something near the lake” he said while he pulled something from his truck.

“Ty´s suit” Jack said in sadness.

The jacket was half burned, full of ashes and ripped.

“At least we know he has his pants on” Jack said trying to calm the rest of the family.

When the police man grabbed the suit with the other hand something small felt from its pocket. It was a small bag. The man picked it up and opened the bag. Inside there was a brown box. He opened it and found something shinny, a diamond, a ring. It had it´s own light, the diamond shined in the dark.

“So, what about this? The police man asked.

“No idea” Jack smiled.

Each one reacted in a different way. Mallory smiled and let a short laughter escape from her mouth. Lou put a hand on her mouth and said “Oh my god” a couple of times. Tim said “What? How?” he was so surprised and shocked at the same time that he couldn´t speak. He felt like something coming through his throat, he started sweating a little, but he realized that no one could explain what was going on. He stayed in mute for a long time. Jack felt almost like Tim, but he knew that some day it was going to happen. He had seen her daughter grow, his granddaughter too, he had seen Amy growing up too, and Mallory for sure.

Lou was surprised too. She couldn´t believe her sister would get married so fast. Lou thought to herself, “… I got married a year ago, and my ten-year younger sister get´s married a year later?” She felt happy and proud of her sister too. She started thinking that she would be the one to prepare their wedding, that was exciting for her.

Mallory thought “finally”. She had been there to whisper all their relationship, and knew it was a fairytale.

Everything was interrupted by a noise that came from the barn. Like something crushing and breaking.

Everyone turned around and saw a dark shape moving and running.

“What´s that?” Mallory asked.

The police man turned on his flashlight and pointed to the moving shape.

“Spartan” said Jack.

Caleb, who had just arrived in his truck, saw the horse running and jumping. He took his rope and tried to catch Spartan, but he couldn´t.

The black horse ran scared to the forest. Everyone began to follow Spartan, but they couldn´t catch him. He was lost in the smoke and the ashes.

Meanwhile, Amy continued lying on the floor as Ty did. They were lost and fainted on the ground.
