Chapter #5

Out of Control

    by: Unknown
Isabelle watched her parents' carriage drive off into the distance. Not long after she lost sight of them, she quickly sought out Daniel. It didn't take long for her to find him.

"Getting your horse ready to lose?" she asked playfully.

"You didn't go to the ball?" Daniel asked as he fed one of the king's prized horses.

"No, my parents actually let me stay home, can you believe that? Now come on, there's a race to run. Or should I say, a race for you to lose?"

"You're on, Princess," Daniel smiled, and the two teenagers were off.

They followed the same course as always. Start at the stables, across the King's field, to the forrest's edge, and back. They never dared venture into the forrest. Rumor had it the place was haunted. Others said it was cursed. Still others claimed that the forrest was where criminals were sent. It was an agreement between Isabelle and Daniel not to go into the forrest.

The race started off as usual, the two teens neck and neck. Both spurned their horses on, trying to outdo the other. Isabelle got a slight lead as they passed Queen Jasmine's garden. That's when it happened. A fox jumped out of the garden, scaring Isabelle's horse, sending it horribly off-course. The princess had lost control of it, as it careened towards the forrest.

"NOOO!" Isabelle screamed, trapped on her now out of control horse. Daniel urged his horse on, trying in vain to catch up to Isabelle. He finally caught up to his friend. He reached out and grabbed the reins to Isabelle's horse and jerked them hard. The horse began to slow down gradually, and finally stopped a few yards away.

The two teens got off of their horses and breathed sighs of relief. Then they noticed where they were.

"Oh no, we're in the forrest," Daniel said.

Isabelle replied, "Yeah, we should probably..."
