Chapter Nine
It wasn't the wind slamming against the roof that alarmed Jessie, it was the terrified shouts of Jane coming from outside that made him leap out of his seat and bolt back outside with a panicked expression.
He saw Jane riding away from the house on Speckle, and he wasn't quite sure why.
Maybe she's just really happy to have Speckle back? Maybe I should come with her... Jessie thought while making his way to the backyard and saddling up onto Rusty, who nickered happily when he saw Jessie.
**?**
Heart racing, Jane kicked at Speckle's side to get her to run faster. "Hurry!" she cried.
Jane gasped as she heard the shouting of Jessie behind her.
As she turned her head, she saw Jessie riding after her on Rusty's back. He eventually caught up to her until Rusty and Speckle were going the same pace.
"There's a weird lady chasing after us," Jessie remarked while turning to see the young red-haired girl running quickly behind them. Somehow, she was almost as fast as the horses and wasn't running out of stamina.
"I know!" Jane gasped for air. "Is she super human or something? How is she keeping up with us?"
Jessie's only response was a confused shake of his head.
The lady's bright blue eyes were fixed on them as she continued to run faster and faster until she was almost in close enough range to grab the horses' tails.

Jessie turned to look back over his shoulder again to glare down at the lady. "What do you want?" he asked through gritted teeth.
There was no response coming from the lady, instead, she stopped chasing them and froze in the middle of the road and watched them ride away.
Just as Jessie and Jane gave sighs of relief, there was another sudden flash of light that blinded them.
Light drifted all around them until their vision went dark.
