Age: 12


Kodie walks down the hall, Christmas stuff every were her eyes can look, even the floor is filled with little fake snow fall.
“Honey, get cleaned up.” Said Kodie’s mother
“Mom, I just came out of my room, I am cleaned up!”
“Your right, Lulu, Alyssa, Crystal and a new boy are coming.”
“You had to tell me.”
“Well honey, it’s the day be for Christmas, when else could we have a grand opening?”
“I don’t know, the middle of summer?”
“Kodie!”
“Sorry Mom!” Kodie eats her breakfast then goes out to feed the horses, even there they had Christmas stuff up, out of reach of Black Diamond.

(Later)

“Hi, I’m Mia, welcome to Galloping Horses Ranch!” said Mia, Kodie’s mother
“Hi, I’m Crystal, I have a horse I need to train.” Said the girl with black and blue hair that matched her blue eyes.
“I’m Lulu, this is Alyssa, and that’s Mike.”
“Hello, I’m Kodie.”

(Christmas Morning)

Mike handed Mia and Kodie a small box. “Mom said it would be rude not to get you guys a gift.”
“That’s so sweet Mike, Kodie, please get the gifts.”
Kodie gave the 4 kids their gifts, all got 3 name plates that had their horse’s name on it.
“Open your present Kodie.” Said Mia
Kodie opened it and it had papers.
“Really! Warrior is mine?!”
“Yea, Sam didn’t want him, to wildish.”
Kodie opens Mike’s gift and it has a little chain with 3 horses on it, Black Diamond, Moonlight Wonder, and Warrior.
“That’s so sweet!” Said Kodie to Mike.

(That night.)

All the kids are sitting on the porch chattering, getting to know the others.
“So does every one have the same color hair, you know it’s not died.” Asked Lulu
“All but me!” said Crystal.
All the 5 kids chattered some more, the sunset glowing on their faces, Kodie’s wheat blond hair beautiful at that time of hour.
“Kids, time to come in.” said Mia
“It’s so weird,” Said Alyssa as they all undid their heavy coats. “I love it here all ready!”
“Then that’s good, you will be there for quite a few more months, tell the end of the summer!” said Kodie
“That’s the best part, you will be like my family!”
“You will get to know the other girls more, you all share a room.”
“Yea… Lulu is taking up most of the room.”
“She is the oldest, and Crystal being the youngest.”
“Yea, but your still older, and Mike.”
“No, Mia trumps us all.”
The 2 girls start giggling and snickering as the eat dinner and get ready for bed.

(The Next Day.)

“Lets see all the horses here?” asked Mia
“Yes.” Said Mike
“Yea.” Said Lulu
“Oh, of course there here!” Said Crystal
“Yea, all like normal.” Said Kodie patting Warrior
“No, Fallen Jinx is gone!” Said Alyssa looking in to a stall that had the nameplate she got saying ‘Fallen Jinx’ on it, the stall empty, all but the bedding, the hay net, water, and oats.

Read the next one to see if they find Fallen Jinx or not. Who took him? Were is he? Is he hurt? Is he alive still? Here is a quick peek:

“Be quite you horse!” Yelled a girl. “You were the best horse there, and the kids were on the porch too, I can’t believe you left with me! This will show Kodie that we are better!”
“Don’t forget about us, us too.” Said a boy
“Ok, fine we tie. She will have to join us now….”

Sorry, that’s all you get now, read next month’s story and you will find out who those people are.
