The Girl and the Magic Horse

The Girl and the Magic Horse: Part 1

Most stories start with once upon a time, but this story is not like that. This story could be true or maybe it couldn't. You will just have to read and find out. It has adventure, mystery, saddness, and happiness all in one. It's about a girl and a horse. This horse was not an ordinary horse. It was a magic horse, not the kind that could speak, but the kind that feels like magic when you ride it.

Lexy was soaring around the house on her horse, Pebble. It felt like she was flying. Every morning she would ride around her town and show off her horse. One night she heard Pebble pounding her hooves on the side of the door. Something was not right. Pebble had never done that before. Suddenly, a dreadful thought came into Lexy's mind. "What if there was an animal attacking Pebble!" Lexy felt helpless. She ran outside with her father's gun, just in case there was an animal in the barn. The stall was open!!! Pebble was gone!! "Pebble!!" Lexy screamed. She ran through the town screaming her horse's name thinking maybe she could hear her. But no, Pebble was gone forever. Well, at least that's what Lexy thought. Even though she thought Pebble was gone forever, a little part of her still had hope.

Finally, Lexy saw a silouhette of a horse. She ran saying " Pebble! Pebble!" The horse ran up to her and put its nuzzle in her neck. Lexy rode her around saying "I found my horse" over and over again. All of a sudden, Pebble started running for the darkest, creepiest, and biggest woods in the whole town. "Stop, Stop!" Lexy screamed, but it was no use. Pebble was running even faster. Lexy thought she was going to fall off, but of course she didn't. It seemed liked hours, and they were still in the woods. There was no light. Lexy didn't know if they were going in circles or going in a straight path. Lexy was crying. At least she thought she was, but she wasn't sure.

Eventually, she found an opening. It was by an ocean. There were jellyfish, crabs, and fish in the water. It wasn't ordinary. There were so many. Way too many. Lexy started counting them. When she got to a hundred of each, she stopped. "I've never seen so many." Lexy said. Then she remembered her dad telling her a story about when he was chasing his dog. He found this ocean. It had about a thousand of each kind of fish right by the shore. Then she remebered that her dad got captured when he was on this island. Suddenly, there were people racing towards them with sticks and stones. Lexy and Pebble look into the water and find a pulsing light shining from it. Pebble and Lexy jump for it, then everything was black.
