chapter 3

"Look I see a house" I say pointing at a little small hut structure.

"We are going to follow this road to the city, these are the farmers that live outside the city" Flynn says.

I see fluffy short animals, along with a pinkish animal, and many more wandering around. I look at all the rest of the farm animals when a hear a beating from a big huge field.

The beating gets louder and louder along with strange noises. I run up to the fence and stand up on it.

"What is that noise?" I ask as the the two men come walking up behind me.

"Just watch" Arian says as he tilts his head towards the field.

I look back forward to see a four legged animal with a long tail and mane. There are at least twenty of these animals coming towards us with one in the front of all of them.

"Wow they are beautiful!" I exclaim as the animals get closer and closer all with different colors and patterns.

The animals finally make it to the fence and slow down next to us breathing heavily.

"They're huge!" I say while reaching out to pet the biggest one there. It is a black animal with a small white mark on it's nose.

"These are horses" Arian says as he reaches out to pet a brown and white one.

"What are they used for?" I ask wandering how someone could tame these beast.

"Pulling plows, pulling wagons, or just for riding around on them" Arian says while smiling at all of them.

"Aww here they are" I hear a man say while coming over with a woman and another man.

"This is a beautiful bunch you have and they look strong" the man with the woman says as he reaches out to pet a cream colored one with a white tail and mane.

"I breed these horses with some of the strongest there are" the man says while smiling at his bunch.

"Arian let's get some" I whisper to him and smile.

"That's why we came this way so that we could to get some" Arian says while walking to the man.

"Hello sir I would like three of your strongest horses please" Arian says while talking to the owner.

"600 Dinar each" the man says while smirking. 

"Here you go" Flynn quickly says as he hands the man a bag full of money and the man's smirk quickly disappears.

"We choose the black one, the brown and white one, and the gray and white one" Arian says pointing to each. The man quickly clears his throat and starts to walk to the gate opening.

"I will...uh...get you the saddles and bridles for free" The man says while looking at the ground and heading to the barn.

"Wow how did you afford that?" The woman ask as she comes towards us with a questionable look.

"If your wondering no I do not steal I am a blacksmith" Arian says as he smiles showing his beautiful teeth.

He should always smile he has a beautiful smile and he looks younger each time he does. I say in my head when I am interrupted from my thoughts by a shaking on my arm.

"What" I say as I turn to see Flynn once again smirking.

"Your lucky that I catch you each time you stare and it's not Arian catching you" Flynn whispers while leaning towards my ear.

"Shut up" I say as I kick his foot slightly and he lets out a chuckle.

We stand there talking to the couple when we all hear a tiny squeak.

"What was that?" the woman, named Abigail, asks. Oh no that was the kit, I say in my head worried that they would keep asking.

"What was what?" I quickly ask trying to distract them while looking at the shirt in Flynn's hand.

"That noise you heard it too right Henry?" Abigail asks her husband and looks at him with a concerned look.

"Yeah I heard it alright" Henry quickly says while looking at us intently.

"That was...my shoe" Flynn says while trying to make them do the same sound.

"No what's going on you three? you all look like..."

"Here you go you three, here's your saddles and bridles" the farmer says cutting off Henry.

"Thank you very much" Arian quickly says as he picks up the bridles and goes inside the fence to grab the horses. We quickly follow after him and pick which horse would be ours.

"I choose the black one" I say to Flynn as he almost walks up to it.

"Fine I will get the gray and white one" Flynn says as he takes the bridle away from Arian to put on his horse.

I walk up to Arian and grab the bridle from him. I then slowly walk up to the black horse as it breaths heavy and stomps a few times.

"Shh your okay" I say trying to calm down the massive animal.

I get right next to the animal and stroke it down its neck feeling the soft fur. The horse still breathing hard, with it powerful lungs, looks into my eyes deeply.

"Just let me do this okay" I say as I begin to put the bridle on the horse.

I continue up the horses face when I stop and I can't reach the rest of it's head. I reach farther and even try standing on my tiptoes but sadly I am still too short. Dang this height I say in my mind as I keep trying.

"Here let me help you" I hear Arian say as he comes over and reaches his hand out.

I look up into his brown eyes and without breaking eye contact I hand him the rest of the bridle. I step back as Arian puts the bridle on the horse.

Arian turns around and hands me the reins and looks into my eyes. For a moment I am lost in his eyes and suddenly get a warm feeling inside.

We keep looking at each other until we are finally interrupted.

"Excuse me we need to go" Flynn says.

I quickly snap out of it and me and Arian quickly look away from each other. I put my hand on my mouth and start to feel my face get extremely warm.

"Uhhh here you go" Arian says as he hands me the reins still looking away.

"...thank you..." I say as I take the reins and lead my horse out of the paddock.

"Here let me help you put the saddle on" the farmer then says.

He then lifts up the big saddle and plops it on the horses back. With a small bounce the saddle sits perfectly on the horses back.

"Thank you very much" I say trying to smile but I am still feel flushed.

"Okay come on let's go" Flynn yells as he jumps on the back of his horse.

I put my foot in the stirrup then try to hoist my weight onto my horses back. Dang why is this so challenging? I say in my head while using all of my being to get on its back. After a few challenging and stressful minutes I finally get in the saddle.

"You okay?" Flynn ask while chuckling.

"..yeah...wooh" I say out of breath.

"Hyah!" Flynn yells as he commands the horse to go forward.

"Come on let's go" Arian says as he walks next to me with his horse and speeds off.

"Hyah!" I scream as I command my horse forward, feeling its hoofs crash against the ground and jump. "Woah" I say as the horse jumps forward and runs.

"How do I do this!?" I scream feeling the horse go against my commands and my sudden tugs.

"Just let go and stop yanking at those reins!" Flynn yells over his shoulder.

I listen to his words and feel the horse listen to me while I listen back.  The horse then runs while I plop awkwardly on top until I finally get in the rhythm of its bounces.

I quickly catch up with Flynn and Arian as their horses run with their tails flowing back.

"Woah calm down you will run that horse out" Flynn says as I slide in front of him feeling the wind on my face.

This is the best thing I have ever felt! I say in my head as I feel more wind hit my face and I  hear the breathing of my horse.

"Your just jealous that I got the hang if this" I yell back smiling to Arian and Flynn.

"Well were coming so if I were you I would take back your words!" Flynn yells to me as his horse begins to gallop faster towards me.

Flynn quickly comes up next to me and looks over to his left at me.

"So what do you want to say now?" Flynn says sarcastically.

I smile at him and look back at Arian to see him going the same speed as before.

"Arian come on you slowpoke let's go!" I yell back at him as he swings his head up to look up to me. "Well come on!" I yell again over the beating of the horse hoofs.

Without a word Arian comes running up next to me and is going the same speed.

"So you can control a horse" I say to Arian hearing Flynn laugh next to me as I chuckle.

Still not saying anything he looks over to us laughing and rolls his eyes.

"Hey what's wrong!" Flynn yells across to Arian making my ears hurt.

"Nothing just.." Arian cuts off while looking forward again.

"Look you can see the buildings" Flynn says after awhile of riding down the road.

I stop looking down and look up to see what's he is talking about. The buildings were huge, bigger than what I've recently seen. There were two story buildings, one story, churches, pubs, restaurants, stables, blacksmiths, shops, and a huge castle in the far end of the city. 

Pubs, restaurants, stables,churches, etc. How did I know all these things if I can't even remember my own name.

"This place is huge" I exclaim as I look around to see people walking around going in every direction.

"Slow down we need to pass through with the guards" Flynn says as he begins to slow his horse down.

We all slow our horses down until they are at a walking speed.

"Arian get in front they know you more" Flynn says while he flicks his head forward.

Without talking Arian walks in front of me and makes his way to the guards.

"Hello Arian" the one male guard says as he looks up at him.

"Hello Michael" Arian says while walking past him into the city with us following close behind.

"Let's get a drink first at the Shlock Pub" Arian says as he turns around to look at us.

We continue riding the horses as we pass by shops with clothes, a small market full of fruits and vegetables, and a blacksmith.

"Good afternoon Arian" a muscular man says while hammering at a sword.

"Good afternoon" Arian replies and smiles at the man.

I continue to look around and see that everything is closer than I expected. This place felt like it could eat me up and quickly spit me back out. As we walk past more people I start to notice a lot of them staring at us.

"Why are they staring?" I whisper to Arian while trotting up next to him.

"Because many people here can't afford horses and also because you are new here" Arian says while looking over at me.

I can't stand out that much, how does everyone know each other in this big of a place? I say in my head while trying to escape the stares.

"Can we go a little faster please?" I beg Arian as I am beginning to get nervous from all of the stares.

"Fine" Arian says as he clicks his horse to a faster speed with me following close behind.

I could also tell that the horses were nervous, they aren't used to a big city like this.

"Here we are" Arian says as we trots over to a building with smoke coming out the top and laughter from inside.

We all three trot over to the building and tie our horses to the post outside.

"Hey Flynn can I carry the kit please" I ask as he is still holding on tightly to the small animal.

"Are you sure?" Flynn says while looking nervous at my question.

"I will be careful I promise" I say really wanting to carry the kit.

"Okay fine" Flynn says while handing me the shirt. I grab the shirt and look inside to see the animal sleeping in a small ball.

"Okay let's go" Arian says while walking up the steps to the pub.

We go inside to the pub and I look around to see drunk men everywhere. I breath in the air smelling a sourness and hearing the laughter of deep voiced men as they sit around talking. Upon closer examination I see I am the only woman inside the pub and I start to notice a few men look up from their drinks over to me.

"Lets go sit over here" Arian says as he puts his hand on my back and directs me to a table.

I sit down and begin to feel more stares on me as I sit down between Arian and Flynn.

"I'm going to get us some drinks" Arian says as he gets us and walks to a man cleaning mugs.

"Nice little show you and Arian put on back at the farms" Flynn says while looking at me and chuckling a bit. I feel my face get warm and look at him angrily. "There it goes again, your face is getting red" Flynn says as he begins to laugh.

"Do you have to pick on me about that?" I ask beginning to get angry at Flynn for bringing it up again.

"Yes because I have known Arian since we were kids and to see someone attracted to him makes me laugh" Flynn replies while looking up at Arian. I look up at Arian to see him talking to the man at the bar and see them away from everyone else.

What are they doing? I say in my head as they seem to be doing something without causing too much attention.

Then they both walk in a direction towards a door away from all of the men.

"Where is he going?" I hear Flynn whisper under his breath while he looks at Arian intently.

"I will be back, here feed the kit some meat" Flynn says as he hands me tiny pieces of cooked meat from his bag. Flynn then gets up and heads towards the two men and meets up with them.

Don't follow them please Flynn come back I plead in my mind scared to be left alone in here. I keep watching and see the three men go into a room behind the door. Those Clay-brained men left me here alone in this place I say in my head angry at them.

I sit in the seat for a few moments beginning to feed the kit and seeing that it likes the meat a lot. After I finish giving the kit food it yawns and begins to curl up again in a tight ball. I let a smile grow across my face after seeing the young animal fall back asleep. Then while sitting there I hear a disgusting sound next to me. "Hello..ugh..There".
