•••WONDERLAND•••

Lucy smiled, Alice whined from beneath her. She let go of the bridle and patted her neck. Alice's ears flew backwards. She was a pretty mare, mostly black but her back legs had white stockings and she had a white star. The horse flicked her tail and pawed the earth. Lucy wondered what it might be. She whispered softly, "Alice? What cha listening to?" Lucy looked around. She could see a well marked path, trees, trees, a squirrel, pine cones, the sun setting and finally trees. At least it was a better variety then some places she had been. She kept still and listened, tweet, tweet. Birds and Alice and her own breathing. Then she hear something else. Something more interesting. She clicked her tongue and grab hold of her reins. they were off in no time. Cantering steadily, then they slowed down. Lucy called, "Anyone out here?" No answer. A cricket started playing as the dark began to settle. the dark began to steal the visibility. This made her jumpy, she knew she had to keep her cool to keep her horse under control. She was an experienced rider and knew better then to get all emotional then riding. She settled in her saddle thinking of what to do.

As she dismounted her body became more visible. You could see she was wearing a gray t-shirt. A pair of khakis and her hair was down. She was wearing a silver bracelet with charms on it. Her blue-green eyes flickered to sense everything they could. She spotted a reflection in a puddle. Although it was quite spooky here she couldn't pass by her reflection. She stood there and stared for a while. Alice neighed and she remembered that she needed to go. She looked around half expecting someone to pop out. She heard the snapping of twigs beneath someone's feet. Yes, it had been confirmed. someone else was out here.

Yes, this would be the thing to teach you not to let your horse on the trails before it was broken in. Jay looked around, sighing. How did I manage this one? He asked himself, angry. He tried to remember when Freedom looked like. White appaloosa, russet spots on his lower back. Not too hard.

"Now, Jay, I realize your father takes care of horses but you want to ra-" Jay cut her off with a glare. "Yes, I most certainly do want to race." He said, walking over to one of the horses he had taken a liking to. "Well, tell you what, Jay." his father said. Jay looked over his shoulder hopefully. "If you want, you can have little Jazz, if you'd like to ride him, Jay." Jay smiled, mounting the horse bare-back, stroking his long neck.

The next day Jay took the horse out into the yard, no helmet on, and started on jumps. The horse wasn't used to him, and Jay did regret that day. He came to the first jump, and both he and the horse went down, Jay falling on his head, breaking his jaw, and getting a concussion.

He walked out of the woods, looking around and seeing a girl. "Hey... have you seen my horse?" he asked. He realized how strange that must seem for him to ask that. Jay was dressed in casual jeans, nothing special to ride in today, just some bonding with Freedom. He was wearing a t-shirt under a long-sleeved button-up shirt, and his usual black converse runners.

Freedom looked around. It was rapidly getting dark, and, while he had gotten away from Jay on purpose, he just very much wanted to get back to him now that the dark was setting in. He whinnied, getting back on the trail. Maybe if he fallowed it, Jay would be looking for him somewhere. He started panicking, and started running.

Freedom saw Jay and started running faster. "Whoa!" Jay shouted at him. What does that mean again? He thought, toppling over Jay. He looked at him, his head tilted. "I guess I found him." Jay said, army-crawling out from under the horse and mounting. The saddles were already on and such.

Lucy and Alice in wonderland!

Lucy then found the strangers figure. She let her eyebrows pull closer in question as she managed to say "What?" before a great beautiful horse came running. Toppling over the other person. She looked closer, oh she kind of recognized him. Maybe a class she had seen him before? Oh, nope she had no idea whatsoever who this person was. As the sun continued to hide itself away taking away her sight. She couldn't help but laugh at the situation in front of her. She nodded once, still standing dismounted. She smiled, "Hey, I'm Lucy Lionell. Glad you found your horse." Alice neighed, interested in meeting the other horse it seemed. Lucy patted her black mare's neck. "No, no Alice." Lucy sounded like she was talking to a little kid. Not that she really cared what she sounded like at all. Alice and her were to peas in a pod. She wouldn't be separated from the beautiful mare for any longer then she had too. Certainly Alice would never run off on her. Lucy smiled proud of the horse she had trained and befriended but more then anything else loved.

Alice neighed then started sniffing. Another horse, another horse. She leaned forward but was stopped by Lucy. Oh please, I was just gonna say hi? Alice lowered her head in a bow for greeting. Alice then rose and started nibbling Lucy's shoulder. She pawed the ground with her back foot. She felt a little irritated that another horse was being ridden right in front of her. She took a deep breath, it was getting darker and darker and she really didn't like it to much. Whatever, she was starting to feel indifferent. One of her ears stayed to lucy and the other listened to the strangers.
