The Stalker

River immediately turns to see a horse falling to the ground. The boy that was riding it had screamed in fear as he flew off the horse and tumbled to the ground.

The creature had ran after the horses and bit the horses leg causing it to tumble. It dug it's claws deep into the horse, ending it's life.

The boy stumbles up as fast as he can and runs without any notice on what happened. He didn't dare look back and could barely see where he was running, tears blinding his view. His hands and feet throbbing from when he landed on them but he didn't care.

River and Jade ran as well among the herd of  frantic horses. They all ran to the trees where they met up before. After running a while in the back of the pasture everyone stopped.

Alex and Ella had ran back to the trees as soon as they opened the gates for the horses.

"Is everyone here?" Ella asked frantically, kids were crying and panting but Jade did a headcount and nodded. Ella sighed with great relief, she didn't need anymore blood on her hands.

Jade started to bandage Sloan's arm and River's knee quickly and asked if others needed it. No one else got severely injured except for the few bruises and cuts.

River thinks 'it entered the pastures...it can't be far...' she started to shake more just thinking about it. Jade comforted her but she also saw the beast in the pastures too.

When no one spoke a quiet noise was heard.

Jade "is-is that...Mark's ringtone!" She stuttered, but the phone wasn't found when they went to meet up with Mark...
