The Beginning

" Mother! Mother where are you?! " I screamed for help, everyone have been engulfed into the flames. I lost almost all hope, Tears start to flow like a river and all seemed lost. That was Ten years ago.

Now all that is left are ashes and dust, I only remember fragments of that day, all I know is that it was the worst day of my life.

I'm 18 now, a young adult, and it's time I start acting like it. I live in a small tent like place on a cliff over looking the ruins of my village, the tent props up against an old oak tree, It's perfectly sunny there.

I set off to get some wood when something in the distance catches my eye upon further inspection it seems to be an animal, as it gets closer I realise, there's a horse running towards me! I run behind a tree to let the horse past, but then I remember something, The horse is heading straight for my tent! I run after it to protect my tent, its the only place of shelter for miles. It outruns me. when I do catch up I realise my tent has been completely destroyed with the horse standing next to it eating grass.

I walk forward and the horse runs away.

I hear a voice in the distance, it says " Jacques! Where are you, you stupid horse! " I feel a slight tap on my shoulder. " Excuse me miss, but have you seen a horse anywhere near? " he asked.

Out of nowhere I screamed " Your horse destroyed my home!!! "

He hastily apologised for his horses actions and offered to rebuild it. Of course I said yes, Ot was the least he could do for letting his horse run wild like that. he continued " I'm an ever so sorry miss, I don't know what came over him, he's usually quite docile. "

I gave a slight nod and went to check the damage to the tent.

A wave of shock came over me. The tent was far beyond repair!
