Chapter Eight
A frigid blast of air blew leaves into the night sky and made every blade of grass dance under the moonlight.
Everyone had already went inside, except for Jane and Daniel.
"No way! I can't believe you actually got the horses back," Daniel exclaimed. "I bet Victoria totally did this!"
Yeah, no crap, Jane thought to herself.
Who would have thought an old lady such as Victoria herself would do this to them? Was this all just because she and Jessie had set foot on her property?
Daniel stretched his arms and yawned. "Anyway, I'm heading to bed," he mumbled while walking off and disappearing inside the house.
Jane sighed and turned to look at Speckle, who was standing a few feet away from her and looking into Jane's eyes. "What?" Jane laughed.
Speckle's ears twitched and she opened her mouth.
"Behind you," Speckle spoke.
A sudden sharp bolt of shock went through Jane as her mouth dropped. "D-did you just--" Before she could continue her sentence, she felt a cold hand tightly grip her shoulder and pull her back.
Jane gasped as she noticed Victoria behind her.
"Get away!" Jane yelled in horror while lunging towards Speckle and jumping onto her back as quick as she could.
Without bothering to think about just running into her house, Jane demanded Speckle to take her away.
Letting out a loud whinny, Speckle kicked up dust behind her as she burst into a sprint and took off down the road.
Speckle's mane lashed at the air and blew in the wind as she quickened her pace.
Jane gripped onto Speckle as tightly as she could before turning to look behind her, another wave of horror and shock washing over her as she saw Victoria completely disappear in a bright flash of glimmering light that sent little sparks falling to the ground, and what appeared in her place was a young woman with long red hair and icy blue eyes that stared into Jane's soul. Was that Victoria?

This is a dream... this is a dream... there's no possible way this is real! Jane's mind started to whirl as the cold night air swept over her and nearly made her fall off of Speckle.
