Nudging on Midnight, her blue roan gelding, Rhia Romero galloped across the lush green meadow and into the forest. Branches attacked her arms leaving slight grazes and the wind whistled in her ears. As she reached a clearing, she slowed Midnight to a trot and then brought him to a stop in the middle of the clearing.
" Nice to see you're on time this time, Rhia." A voice hissed from the depths of the shadows.
"Always a pleasure to be in your presence, Brittany." Rhia retorted dismounting Midnight.
"Where's Danny and Aria?" A tall girl with blonde-brown hair and hazel eyes asked, stepping into the light with her dappled grey mare.
"Danny is in Paris and Aria is in San Francisco." Rhia replied, stroking the mare's blaze. " How are you, Callie?" She added.
" Good, I guess. School starts next week. Will Aria and Danny be back by then? We don't want to raise suspicions," Callie frowned, pulling her hair into a ponytail.
" Uh, I think so." Rhia answered, looking unsure. Her mocha brown hair. was pulled into a neat pony tail and her crystal blue eyes shone in the dark. She wore a white cloak draped around her light blue long sleeve T- shirt and black jodhpurs. A sapphire ring sat on her slim, middle finger. The sound of hooves alerted Rhia, Britney and Callie. Mounting quickly they backed into the shadows as quietly as they could.
" Where are the others?" The new voice asked, sliding off the white hood of her cloak.

" Where are the others?" The new voice asked, sliding off the white hood of her cloak.
" Queen Aubrie! We were not expecting you. Claire, Camilla and Jasmine are waiting at the creek for us. Shall we go and meet them now?" Britney asked, timidly. Queen Aubrie nodded, her flaming red hair shaking just below shoulders. Turning her palimino horse towards the faint sound of running water. The others followed her, throwing glances at ach other but not saying a word.
"So, how is Pandora, Callie?" Aubrie asked, as she slowed her stallion down as the river cme into sight.
"She's great, Mistress Aubrie. The humans do not suspect a thing. How is Maximillion?" Callie smiled, referring to her mistresses palomino.
" Maxi's is great thank you Callie. And where, may I ask is Alice Romero?"
" Alice is in Paris at the moment, training Trix for the Sadrana Academy Auditions, Mademoiselle Aubrie." Callie replied, with a polite smile. Aubrie's intense green eyes smiled as she trailed her fingers through the cool, clear water, a look of longing . . .
