“Get back here” a voice rang out. Shots were fired and the horses spooked. Chaviva lurched sideways and Nics left leg was slashed by a nail on the fence. Cringing in pain she managed to stay on, almost losing the rope attached to the other three horses. Pain burned and blood pored out as her small herd cantered down the road. Not knowing how much time she really had Nic did not slow the pace. Passing vehicles with people giving second glances at the sight of four horses and one bleeding rider slowed their cars. Nic and the four horses rode for a couple of hours. Finding paches of glass away from the road to walk through for rest.
“Do you need help” a lady yelled out her car window. Nic relieved to hear someone ask, “I need the police, call the police, Please, I'm in danger!”
Nic did not dare stop and wait. She new the thieves were desperate and coming to get her. She picked up the pace and kept heading down the highway and started to pray, “Give me strength Lord, guide me”.
Out of the blue a two tone brown truck sped by. Nics heart dropped. Cursing and swearing one man pulled a gun out 'BANG' trying to shoot Nic he missed. Nic let go of the rope of the three other horses. Furious and desperately she galloped after the truck. As the man pointed his gun out the window Nic took the long reins of the horses bridle and swung it in circles, flinging the rein at the arm of the shooter the long leather straps rapped around the arm, Nic gave one heaving yank from her end of the reins. Chaviva planted her hooves into the gravel, the reins tightened and a loud crack of the man’s arm braking was clear to hear, the man screamed. His truck fish tailed madly.The reins fell, Nic turned Chaviva away.
The sirens of two police cars pierced the air. Nic did not see them approach. Guess the thieves didn’t either. The first police car approached the brown truck heading them off into the ditch. The police pulled out their guns and arrested the two men as Nic and the horses past by.
The police in the second car followed Nic ordering her to stop. Nic shook her head no, she was weak and lost blood, her adrenalin was spent. Nic could not stop the horses galloping if her life depended on it. The other three horses were right beside her even though she dropped the rope. The police car pulled in front of Nics horse hoping to stop them but Chaviva had no intention of stopping till she was home. Nic knew what Chaviva was going to do, with the three other horses galloping along side of them Chaviva was trapped between them and the police car. Nic got into a two point position and sure enough the white horse jumped and cleared the hood of the police car. The other three past in front of the car.
It took everything for Nic to hold on as they landed, “Please lord please give me strength, help me keep it together just a while longer guide me” she pleaded as they bolted down the road. To be continued…
