End of Chapter 7
"Will anda come back to check on Piper?" I asked as I watched her.
"Yes dear, we will be back tomorrow." She berkata as she rubbed Piper down one lebih time and turned to walk out of the barn.
"I'm sorry I didn't get your name." I berkata as I smiled.
"My name is Maxine, most people call me Max." She berkata as walked over and hugged me. "It was very nice to meet you."
"You as well, and thank anda for helping my Piper." I berkata as I hugged her back.
"Alright, let's go." She berkata as she looked down at the ground.
I was seriously beginning to wonder about this woman's sanity when I noticed that the cat had moved from my feet to stand looking up at me. It meowed loudly as it looked at me, it's yellow eyes staring directly into mine. I was about to reach down and pet it when it turned and ran after Maxine who had walked out the lumbung, gudang door.
"Wow, what a day." I berkata as I shook my head and went to spend some time with Piper, laughing as Concho followed me like my new shadow.
Chapter 8
I yawned, realizing that this hari had been too much..too emotionally draining as I reached up and squeezed the rose that hung around my neck. I looked around, thinking about how I should probably be going back up to the house. I felt Concho pulling on my sleeve before he lay down, looking at me as if he were telling me to just give in and sleep out here with him and Piper.
"I don't want to go back up to the house." I berkata to both of them as I walked over and pulled two blankets out of the bin that was set against the far wall.
I went back and covered them both up, laughing as Concho took the blanket with his teeth and threw the blanket back at me. Piper shaking her head back and forth...was it just me atau were these two akting lebih and lebih human as the night went on.
"You don't want the blankets? Fine." I berkata as I pulled them back, wrapping one around me as the wind blew through the barn.
I looked over and noticed that Piper had moved over, closer to Conchi as she rested her head on her shoulder. I noticed how comfortable they looked, how much I wished I could cuddle up with them. I sighed loudly as I walked over and sat selanjutnya to Piper, resting my head on Conchi's side as I ran my fingers down her side.
I closed my eyes, wanting to only rest for a little bit...but the selanjutnya thing I knew I was dreaming. I was standing in the clearing from earlier, I looked around and realized that I was completely alone. I walked out into the middle, the moon shining brighter then I had ever seen it..it was like walking in a spot light, like it was shining directly on me.
I wondered what this dream was about, why was I standing in the clearing alone? What was going on? I heard a sound off to my right which made me jump, turning to stare at the woods. I waited, wondering if I should run atau scream..and was about to do the first when I saw a brown head poke through the woods.
"Piper!" I cried as I ran to her, wrapping my arms around her neck.
She nuzzled her head against my arm as she pushed me back, shaking her head slightly. I instantly threw my hands on my hips, wondering what was going on. I was about to walk closer when I saw Concho walk out of the woods and stand protectevly selanjutnya to her.
"Well, I didn't know." I berkata as I realized the way that Concho was protecting her, they were in love.
"Yet again everyone has someone." I berkata as I turned and started walking away from them.
I was about to take a step when a small brown cat ran between my feet and tripped me. I fell on the ground, my hands going out to break my fall...which would have worked if I wasn't such a klutz. I managed to avoid the cat, but when I landed I heard a loud crunch and had searing pain shoot through my arm.
I screamed, my voice fading as I rolled over and clung my wrist to my chest. I took a few breaths trying to calm myself so that I could think of how to get back to the house. I sat up, whimpering as the pain shot down my arm as the world started to spin. I was about to pass out when I saw a pair of yellow eyes pass before my face.
"Maija, anda have to wake up, it is just your dream. Remember the real world." A male voice I had wanted to hear called to me.
I opened my eyes and stared into Micheal's face which was mere inches away from mine, his hand resting on my shoulder as he knelt before me.
"This is your dream, anda must control it." He berkata as he smiled at me.
"My dream." I berkata as the world started to slow.
"Yes, control it."
I tried to focus on what he was saying but the pain in my arm was to the point that I wanted to throw up. I needed to get away from him, to get away before I embarrassed myself.
I tried to stand up, but the pain was too much and I collapsed. I felt strong hands catch me and pull me tight against his chest, I was so mortified that I wished this was all over...that I was back in the lumbung, gudang and no one knew of this.
I opened my eyes and found that I was awake, sitting up as I grasped my wrist to my chest. I was absolutely petrified to see if my wrist would move, the dream having scared me to the core. I looked around and saw both of the kuda staring at me, Conchi's head whipping around as he looked for what upset me, while Piper's ears were turning as she listened.
"It's ok, there's no one there." I berkata to the horses, wondering if I had actually gone nuts as I sat and waited for them to calm down. "What wasTHAT!!!"
"What was what?" A voice called behind me.
I squeeked as I turned and glared at Michael who was sitting on the puncak, atas of the fence. I kept my arm pressed over my chest, afraid to pindah it and also to hide my beating heart.
"Oh," I berkata as I smiled at him.
"Sorry if I scared you, anda looked so peaceful curled up between your horses. I didn't want to waken you." He berkata as he blushed.
"It just keeps getting better." I berkata softly as I blushed, realizing that he had watched me sleep.
I shook my head, realizing that my curls had come loose while I was sleeping...which now meant that I had a afro. How could my morning get any worse? I sighed as I looked around for my hair tie, wondering if Concho had taken it during the night. I reached down for it and laughed when Concho snapped it up in his teeth and lifted his head.
"Not now." I berkata as I reached out and grabbed it out of his mouth.
I reached my arms back, fighting the curls until they were tied behind my head. It wasn't until I was smoothing them back that I realized that my arm was just fine. I breathed a sigh as I realized that my arm was fine, it was all just a dream.
"Your aunts want anda to come up to the house when anda have time." Michael berkata as he jumped off the fence and walked over to me and started picking the blankets up off the ground.
"You don't have to." I berkata as I watched him.
"I want to," He berkata as he turned and smiled at me, his smile making me want to melt.
I didn't realize that I was standing there looking like an idiot until Piper knocked into me, looking at me like I was insane. I laughed as she pushed me forward, following Michael.
"What's so funny?" He asked as he turned and saw Piper pushing me to him.
"Oh." I berkata as Piper pushed me harder then before, sending me stumbling forward.
Michael threw the blankets into the bin and was running at me as I realized that I was falling with my hand out, just like in my dream. I was bracing myself for the impact, waiting for the snapping sound when I felt strong hands membungkus, bungkus around me and pull me up. I looked over and saw that Michael had picked me up like in the dream, holding me close against him.
"I guess I have to keep anda safe." He berkata as he smiled at me.
"Sorry." I berkata as I blushed and looked away.
"Let's get anda up to the house." He berkata as he started walking.
"Oh, I can walk." I berkata as I looked at him his eyes inches away from mine.
"I think we better not tempt fate." He berkata as he smiled, his red lips closer then I realized. "Maija?" He asked as he stopped and looked down at me.
"Oh, sorry." I said, blushing as I stopped thinking about his lips, and how soft they looked.
"Are anda ok?" He asked as he adjusted the way he was carrying me and ran a finger across my forehead.
"Yeah, sorry. I had strange dreams, I think I'm just tired. anda can put me down if anda want." I said, not wanting this to happen.
"I don't want to." He berkata as he smiled and marched up to the house, staring into my eyes the entire time.
"Will anda come back to check on Piper?" I asked as I watched her.
"Yes dear, we will be back tomorrow." She berkata as she rubbed Piper down one lebih time and turned to walk out of the barn.
"I'm sorry I didn't get your name." I berkata as I smiled.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he oleh the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
