Chapter 10:

While Nourah was reading a single drop fell down her cheek, "she loved me" Nourah said to herself she took a deep breath and opened the second page it was the layout of the whole mansion and underneath it was all the secret passages Nourah then noticed that there was a passage to the beach. Nourah took the emergency flashlight, the key and the papers. The layout says that the opening of the passageway is outside so Nourah sneaks out and luckily no one saw her. She went to the place she didn't find any door but she did find vestibule (A ground door) she was a little anxious but she entered anyway. It was a dark old passage as if no one entered it for years. She opened her flashlight and went, after a couple of terns she finally reached the beach but she couldn't see it, she can hear the waves hitting the sand and the smell of the Atlantic swiped all her sadness and guilt away, she looked above her and there was another vestibule and there was a carving on it saying (BEACH) as soon as Nourah opened it sand came rushing down she looked up and saw up and saw a beautiful beach. Nourah took her shoes of and dipped her toes in the cold sand and ran to the beach with a radiant smile. She sat in front of the beach looking at it "I could never get bored of this view" she said under her breath.

Nourah haven't realized that a lot of time has past until she saw the breathtaking, bleak golden sunrise. She couldn't take her eyes away from it but, when the sun settled in the sky Nourah packed her things and went back to the mansion. When she entered her room she didn't feel the guilt anymore she quickly crawled back to bed and entered a dreamless sleep.

"Nourah" Alora whispered to wake her up. Nourah woke up quickly "I heard what happened last night are you ok?"

"I'm ok don't worry" Nourah answered

"Good, well I made you a bath to clean and relax you"Alora said. Nourah thanked her and went to the bathroom. After an hour Nourah was cleaned and ready she went down stairs to eat her breakfast as usuals he didn't think that her father will be there she thought that he will be still asleep but, as soon as she entered the dining room she saw her father eating as if nothing happened, she rushed to him and gave him a big warm hug "ouch" her father said

"Sorry, are you ok?" Nourah asked

"Don't worry I'm fine" he answered "well are you going to eat or what?" He said sarcastically

"Oh right" Nourah said while taking a seat

"Did you open your gifts?" he asked

"Oh ya sure because the only thing I thought of are my gifts not that I just killed someone or my father who just got shot" she answered sarcastically

"Well when you're finished you can go open them and when you're done I have a surprise for you" he said

"Surprise? What surprise?" She asked curiously

"It's a surprise I won't tell you of course" he said

"Ok" Nourah scoffed

After breakfast Nourah went back to her room she saw the pile of gifts laying on the floor she opened them while her father was watching her next to the door. There where clothes, a phone, iPad, laptop, shoes, jewelry and even more things. "How much did you pay for all this?" Nourah exclaimed

"Nothing much" he said

"Yah Yah it sure looks like it, thank you so much" she said

"You're welcome, but now for the surprise come on" he said

He lead her outside then covered her eyes "are we there?" Nourah asked anxiously

"Almost…and…we…are here, Surprise!"he said while opening her blindfold

"Oh my GOD" Nourah exclaimed

It was a majestic black Arabian horse with curly hair and a black saddle. Nourah was speechless, but some words escaped her mouth. "When did you build a stable?" Nourah asked

"It was there for a very long time, we just cleaned it put some horses inside and bought the equipment and that's it" he answered

"Thank you, thank you , thank you" she said while hugging him

"No problem, your equipment are inside get changed so you can have your first lesson, but before you go what are you going to name him?"he asked

"I don't know but I got an amazing nickname for him" she said

"What?" He asked

"The black pearl!" She said while putting her hands in the air

"The black what?" He asked

"Well you know from Pirates of the Caribbean…the movie"she said with an eyebrow up

"Oh but why that name…it's tall"he said

"Well first, its just a nickname not an official name and second, in the movie all people thought that the black pearl was just a ship but it was more than that so that's why" Nourah said

"You know what it your hours you can name him anything you want" he said

Nourah quickly went inside the stables to find she got changed, put on her helmet, boots and gloves and went to the arena. When Nourah entered the arena she saw a lady talking to her father she had curly brown hair she had sweet freckles on her nose and checks, and brown eyes. "Nourah come here, I want you to meet someone, this is Mia your trainer"he said

"Hi I'm Nourah nice to meet you" she greeted while holding her arm up

"Nice to meet you too" said Mia while shaking Nourah's hand

"I'll leave you too now" said Eli

"Are you ready?" Mia asked

"Yes" Nourah answered excitedly

After about an hour Nourah finished her class "I'll see you next week then" Mia said

"Ok goodbye" Nourah said she entered her room, changed and took a nap
