Necroprancer

Chapter 9: The big race

It was the next morning the day of the big race Sally was wide awake and was excited, Sally rushed downstairs and to the patio doors she saw her newly resurrected horse walking about in the garden she guessed that Brad had let him out to get some energy for the big race later in the afternoon.

Sally was so excited she didn't want breakfast so Brad looked at her and handed her a breakfast bar, Brad undid the locks on the patio door so Sally could go outside.

She went outside and munched on the breakfast bar as she walked towards her horse. She put her hands on his fur and patted him gently.

Brad came outside into the garden and looked at Sally " me and your mom will be spectating on the sidelines fully support you" Brad said smiling as he held Prancers reigns.

Sally stopped petting Prancer and Brad led him by his reigns him to the container so they could get ready to transport him to the race track.

Sally watched as Brad loaded Prancer up in the container and then turned round and went back inside.

Inside she saw Mary she looked like she was hiding behind her back maybe a present. " now you are a true horse racer i want you to have my helmet" Mary smiled as she took out the helmet from behind her back and placed it on Sally's head.

The helmet fit perfectly and Mary smiled proudly. Just then Mary and Sally heard a voice from the back garden it was brad telling them it was time to go Sally jumped up and down with excitement and put her coat on.

Sally and Mary walked towards the car and Mary sat next to Brad and Sally got in the back seat, Brad started the engine and pulled out of the drive way and drove off to the race track.

Five minutes later they saw the car park to the race track and pulled in, Sally, Mary and brad got out and Brad lowered the lid of the horse container and let Prancer out.

Prancer clopped down and stopped at the bottom of the ramp of the container, Brad walked round to him and held his reigns and they all walked inside the track.

Inside the building as Brad walked to the starting point to station Prancer Damian came around the corner he saw Prancer and his eyes widened " i thought you told me he was dead! Thank god he's alive" said Damian raising his hands up in the air.

Brad looked at Damian " we somehow brought him back he's back in " Brad scoffed Sally stood beside Brad and smiled looking at Damian.
" anyway my horse is called Necroprancer now and announce him as the battle horse of Salazar" grinned Sally

Damian looked puzzled and didn't know what she was talking about but he made a note in his head of what she said.

Damian told the Mae family to follow him onto the track, as the Mae family came outside loud fairground style music played and an announcer came on  the mic came on loudly, it was Damian as he led he held the the family to the track he held a microphone in his hands as he walked. " introducing the Mae family with rider Sally and her horse Prancer  main battle horse of Salazar" announced Damian loudly so the audience could hear.

Sally looked up in the audience and saw everybody from the village standing up and cheering for her. Sally's heart started pumping with excitement. She knew everybody in the village was rooting for her.

The Mae family arrived at the stations and every horse was lined up and ready to go.

Sally stationed Prancer at the starting post.  She noticed that there was a space left one contender was missing it was William, Sally thought and wondered were he had gone to.
