Chase entered the trail place, leading a large chestnut gelding behind him steadily. Bailey chewed eagerly on his bit, prancing slightly sideways against the reins. Chase smiled, knowing the horse was excited to be ridden, but would settle down once Chase mounted. He was now wearing a short sleeve shirt, with riding pants and some riding boots. His scars from the accident shone brightly in the sun, but Chase had given up trying to cover them up. Stopping the gelding, he checked the girth and pulled down the stirrups before placing a foot into the stirrup and swinging on up. Bailey pranced eagerly sideways, and Chase quickly collected the reins.
He let the reins run long and his legs dangle out of the stirrups, letting the gelding relax. He remained off the trail path in case someone wanted to go through and looked around for who he was meeting. He was waiting for Bella, and was eager to get to know her more. Bailey lowered his head and began to graze while they waited |

Bella had quickly lunged Star, as to expend the horse's spare energy. and to focus her mind. Bella didn't know if she would even join Chase on the trail ride. It was one of those things that Bella didn't know what to do. So she did the only thing she knew that would help. She called her twin, Andrew.
Andrew, it's me.
What's wrong? So he did notice the emotion in her voice.
I need your advice. You see there's this guy, but...I don't know how to explain.
Just get to know him first. You don't want some scoundrel.
Thanks. Love you. Bye
It was a short conversation, but they would talk some more when he came in for the weekend. So Bella quickly went to tack up Star completely. On went the running martingale, and polished black saddle. Next the lime green polo wraps. Star seemed lazy, but Bella knew that it wouldn't last. Samson followed Bella everywhere, and she was grateful for the dog's company.
She mounted up outside the barn, and let Star walk on the buckle. The mare seemed to suffer under the summer heat, and Bella also suffered slightly. She just didn't know if one of those headaches would make an appearance again, and she sincerely hoped not. It would be just plain embarrassing if she had to leave because of a headache, but those headaches were complete hell for the time that they lasted.
They trail loomed up ahead of her, and she saw Chase was already there. Star started prancing, and acting Silly, so Bella shortened her reins. Samson had decided that he was going to find a 'present' for his owner and promptly ran off. Most likely to go catch a bird or fowl. Or just find a nice stick to throw. When Bella was close enough to Chase she decided that she would alert him of her presence. Hey Chase was all she said. Simple enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chase waited patiently for Bella, but as the minutes ticked on, he had a slight feeling that she was going to blow him off. Sighing, he reached down and patted Bailey's neck, who was contently grazing. He looked down at the gelding's mane, knowing he should probably pull it, as it was getting slightly long. He quickly thought back to his parents, how much he missed them and he hoped he was doing what they hoped with their horses. He shook his head slightly and pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind. He looked back towards the barn area once more, and still not spying Bella, he collected his reins and stirrrups, preparing to depart on himself.
However, once he nudged Bailey forward, he heard a quiet call out to him, and turned his head to look. The mare she was reading appeared to be a bit calmer than when he saw them in the round pen, and he smiled as they approached. "Oh hey Bella! I was beginning to think you were ditching me, although.. I understand if you had to!" He smiled at her once more, nudging Bailey into a walk and looked back at her. He was eager to get to know her, and was hoping for a nice, quiet ride to do so. |

Bella was slightly bristled at his comment. She never ditched any one before, except during those 3 months that she was fighting the mud of her a coma. I’m sorry, she said sarcasm dripping from her voice. I just had to call Andrew quickly. and seeing the look on Chace’s face added quickly, Andrew is my twin. He’s at a boarding school not far away from here. That was the most that she had said to a stranger before. Just because you know their name, doesn’t mean that they aren’t a stranger.
In that sun light that flicked across the path, and across her skin made the scars stand out and she rubbed her arm holding the reins, and she knew that she just drew attention to those self same scars. They were the reason Bella loved winter, as she could wear hoodies that hid those marks, that hid her past from all to see, from those prying eyes of the world. The world that she hated so much sometimes. Star danced in place and tossed up her head. Samson had disappeared to who knows where, and Bella whistled to him to return to her side. So are we gonna talk all day, or actually ride the trail.

Chase shook his head as Bella answered his questions, and then looked towards her again. "I'm sorry, it was none of my business what was taking you so long.." Sighing, he looked back towards her curiously and hoped she would not get the wrong idea about him. His short sleeved shirt revealed his scars splattered onto his arms. He was anxious to forget about those scars, the ones that caused his pain and the loss of his parents.
Sighing again, he nudged his gelding from his walking pace to a canter, leaning forward slightly in his saddle. Bailey Wick pricked his ears, eager to be out and exercising and Chase threw a glance over his shoulder, looking to see if Bella would follow. |
