So Brit, Carmel, and prob every1 else loves writing stories. SO COME AND POST 'EM! This is mine...... or part of it
It was about four o’clock before we really got moving from the horse show, which had started at eight that morning. Sassy, my best friend Alex’s horse, had given trouble boxing again. As we rode in the Land Rover, I let my blond hair fall lose from its braid. My green eyes danced as I looked behind me at the horses. Sassy was reaching for the hay net, and my horse, Lady, was sort of dozing. “Harry!” My mom suddenly screamed. We swerved and skidded into a field, the car was rocking uncontrollably, we were screamed, holding on for dear life. The car hit something, and stopped, but my head crashed into the window.
I went into a black room, and suddenly, and very unpleasantly, I relived the two hours before the accident.
“The results of the 90cm show jumping competition are as follows. In first place, Summer Andrews, on Lady Mistic!” I smiled and walked Lady towards the judges’ box. “Well done!” The official shook my hand and moved on to the rider next to me. I congratulated Alex on her third place, and cantered my lap of honor, laughing as Lady bucked playfully. “Well done, Summer!” My mom congratulated me. “You did very well!” Alex added with a grin, pleased with her third place. “Let’s go home.” My dad suggested. I beamed, very proud of my horse. “We won girlie, out of 58 competitors…”
I awoke from my dazed state to a short moment of silence. “Is…” Mom’s voice trailed off, but then continued. “Is everyone ok?” Her shaky voice asked. “Yes…” I said, rubbing the growing bump on my head. Alex said she was fine too. Dad gently touched mom’s arm. Suddenly sitting upright, I slammed against the door. “Summer…” I didn’t listen, but tried yet again to open the door. I moved just enough for me to slip out. I ran towards the horse box. One of its wheels was stuck in a ditch, which must have stopped us. Though, right at that moment I could not have cared less. “Lady!” I called. I could hear Sassy alright. I then noticed that Lady’s side of the horsebox had broken in the crash, and she was running. Alex came to free Sassy, and I went running after my horse. “Lady!” She stopped at a fence. “Whoa girlie.” I murmured, slowing to a walk. Lady was scared, trembling with absolute fear. “It’s only me.” She snorted and backed away. Lady had always loved me, she had never been afraid of me. It cut deep into my heart to see her terrified of me. “It’s ok… Calm down girlie.” Lady reared, and ran. I leaped sideways, tripped, and fell hard on my bruised arm. I lay there, watching my terrified mare run away from me.
