Part One


Sarah and her two friends where sitting in the family room watching television one evening. Rosie sighed and looked at Sarah saying, “I think we should go exploring.” Before Sarah could say anything, Whitney smiled and said “Good idea! Let’s go.”
Whitney grabbed Sarah’s hand and dragged her outside. She followed Rosie who was pretty much sprinting outside. Once outside, Sarah rolled her eyes and said, “Thanks for asking if I wanted to come.” She laughed lightly and looked around her parent’s farm.
She loved living in the country; so free and unreal. She looked at Whitney and Rosie saying, “Let’s go explore the wood lot.” She smiled as they agreed. She loved it in the woodlot; it was so peaceful and beautiful. As the three of them where walking to the woodlot, Sarah had a strange feeling. She shook it away and kept walking.
After a while, the feeling came back. She shivered and stopped. She looked around, and a worried look crossed her face. She looked at her friends when they asked if she was alright. She shrugged and said, “I don’t really know, I am having this strange feeling we are being watched.” She looked around once more before saying, “oh well. Let’s keep going.”
With this, the three of them continued up the gravel road. They past the barn and walked out onto the fresh spring grass. They passed the horse corral talking about Sarah’s birthday party coming up. Whitney gasped some, and ran over to the horse corral. Sarah and Rosie followed. They looked at the broken fence, and wondered how it broke.
They shrugged, and looked around. Rosie picked up an axe that was upon the grass. She said to her friends, “look at this.” She held up the axe before walking to the fence. She compared the axe paint, to the paint transfer on the fence. She stepped back and chopped the fence once. “Look, the cut is the same. Someone cut the fence down.”
Sarah and Whitney compared the cut Rosie made to the cuts on the fence. They agreed, and Sarah sighed hitting the ground. Whitney and Rosie sat by her and asked what was wrong. Sarah looked at the ground and said, “Sky, my Arabian mare was in there. But she isn’t anymore. We have to find her.”
Then out of nowhere came a voice. The voice said, “What are you three humans doing out during this time of day; it’s almost night?”
