The Golden Winged Horse by CJLaurence

Faye has always believed in fairies. There has been so many tales of the pretty mythical creatures, there was no doubt in her mind that they really existed. But it's only when she finds a golden winged horse trapped in her house that her beliefs are proved to be true. She learns that without the magical horse flying around the world spreading fairy dust, children are no longer able to sleep in peaceful dreams. It's only a matter of time before chaos erupts due to the restlessness of tired children. The fairies are reluctant to put their trust in a human girl, but the horse is held captive beyond their boundaries and an alliance with Faye is the only way for them to get him back safely. But as Faye delves deeper into the magical world, she discovers a secret her family has been hiding from her for years. Now, Faye is forced to choose between the happiness of those she loves, and a world she is desperate to protect.

Beast by AlexiCom

The village loomed closer and closer, but instead of the usual deathly silence that hung thick in the air when Alexander and Rowan came through, the village was awash with jeering and shouting. Alexander halted and shifted uneasily in the saddle as thoughts of whether this was all meant for him or some other poor soul made his stomach churn painfully. "Mi'lord, none of this is meant for you." Rowan murmured from Alex's left hand side. "They are calling out 'Witch' Rowan, what if they mean to...." Alexander turned his head to Rowan and watched as his friends face paled. "They wouldn't..... Surely to God, they wouldn't....." Rowan asked as a shudder ripped through him and his hands clenched the reigns in a death grip. "I-" Alexander started to say but turned his head at the sound of a terrified female scream. Rowan watched as Alexander kicked his horse into motion, not missing the animalistic growl he let out as the horse raced towards the village. Rowan shot off after Alexander, all the while sending silent prayers to God asking that he protect that girl and forgive his friend. Rowan was no more than six yards behind, but it was too far - he needed to stay close to his friend, he did not know how he would react if they were burning her for her 'crimes'. This is a excerpt of this story, I hope you enjoy it - if you decide to read any more that is. Please leave constructive feedback - it is always appreciated.

Blue by CJLaurence

Blue is living example of how brutal the foster system is. The only way she knows how to protect herself is by pushing everyone away, to detach herself from those around her. Trust isn't something she knows how to do. Self-sabotage on the other hand-it's her best talent. After another failed attempt at finding a family, Blue decides to run. She'd rather take her chances alone on the streets than go through another gruelling process of trying to fit in with a new family who would never understand her. Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them. This is a tale of how two lost souls find hope in the most unexpected way, and their fight to protect it.
