The Arrow

"Yer fired!" The butcher said as he slammed the door in my face. That's the second job in one month. I thought as I walked to the forest line. I let out a low whistle soon after I hear hoof beats from the north, like the North Wind it came fast and furious a blak blob running full speed directly at me. It suddenly stopped and fell. "Oh yew silly girl" I said as I walked nearer to my beloved Midnight. "Are yew ready for a long ride?" She nickered in response. "I'll take that as a yes" I said as I put my hood up. It's getting a little chilly. I thought as I mounted. "Let's go!" I said as I urged Midnight to a fast canter navigating over rocks and fallen trees in the forest. Shortly after starting I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I took the bow off of my back and noched an arrow. I took aim at the rabbit and shot. The arrow struck and the rabbit fell. I dismounted and walked over to the dead rabbit. I picked it up and strung it to my belt. "Now to find a place to set up camp." I said to Midnight as I took hold of her hackamore and mounted.



After an hour of riding hard I stopped Midnight in a small clearing. "Ok girl" I said looking at the huge black Clydesdale "Yew can eat while I go get some firewood ok?" She just started eat paying me no mind. I walked a good ways from the clearing before finding twigs and sticks dry enough for a fire. As I bent over to pick them up I heard a whisper I froze "Hello.... who's there" I said in trembtrembling voice. I was silent for a while till I heard it again. The voice it just wasn't human nor was it an animal. I looked around and called out again this time I heard it say
