Starlight's Wish - Chapter 2

by Kelsey

When I awoke, I saw a little girl smiling at me! I froze. "What will she do to me?" I asked myself. The little girl opened her mouth and said, "I like you! My name is Sarah!" I stood up. Sarah came closer, so I backed away. "Don't be afraid." She said in a gentle voice. She read into her pocket and pulled out a carrot. I looked at it. "It's a carrot. Here you go." Sarah said holding the carrot out to me.

I walked up really slow. She held it closer to me. I ate it right her hand. "That's it!" She said smiling. Then that man walked in! I backed up to the corner of my stall. "So you want this horse?" said the man looking at Sarah. "Yes! The problem is I don't have enough money." Sarah said as her smiled drifted into a frown. "Well, she's not trained." He said smiling. "Really?!" Sarah asked. "Yes. So let me see you money." The man snapped.

I thought he was being mean to so I tried to bite him. The man turned and whipped me. I reared and went back to the corner. Sarah handed him the money. I looked at him as he flipped through green stuff. He smiled and gave her the money. "Do I have enough to buy her?" asked Sarah. He nodded his head up and down. Sarah opened the door to my stall. I didn't move.

She pulled something out of the thing that hung from her back. She put it on me and led me outside. She hopped on me and we galloped away. She hopped off me and and put me in a paddock. All I did was graze. "I wish I was with Emily." I said to myself.
