Alexia looked around. The last time Chestnut had acted like this, they were attacked by a lage pack of wild dogs. Who knew what this could be? Alexia didn't want to stick around to find out. She picked up the supply bags and Puff, her ghost kitty, and hoped up onto Chestnut's back.
"I'm sorry. We have to move though," Alexia said apologetically to the filly.
Chestnut stamped her foot as if in reply and then shot forward as Alexia pressed her knees against the horse's flank. Puff meowed. Alexia looked down at her cat friend. Or would you call a dead cat's ghost a pet? Alexia didn't know. It seemed like everything got so messed up after that dream....
Alexia felt tears burn in the corners of her eyes, threatening to stream down her cheeks. All of the memories came flooding back to her. Running off into nowhere with Chestnut, writing a letter for her mother and father to read in the morning when the found out that she had left, finding Puff in her cellar, having a strange dream where Puff spoke to her, holding the limp body of her friend at the vet clinic....
Alexia cried She felt more painful memories flash through hr mind. These were different then the first, though. Instead of being things that she'd seen, they were things that she hadn't seen but she knew had happened. Her mother getting out of bed to start the regular morning things, like making coffee, then her mother and father bent over the note that she had wrote to them, crying.
Alexia hugged Puff. He solidified the moment her fingertips touched his soft fur. Then, he turned back into his normal look. Alexia's hands were left hugging thin air. Alexia nearly fell off of Chestnut's back. Went she caught her balance, Chestnut skidded to a halt. Towering before them was a large cave. Somehow, when Alexia saw the cave, she knew that their journey had come to an end.
Alexia whispered, "The Cave Of Fading Echoes."
