Chapter 2 - Traveling
After about three hours, the sun was starting to set. I found a nice tree, and tied June up. I slept there through the night. Then June and I left bright and early. I suddenly remembered something, when I was about seven years old, I remember my dad saying how much he wanted to move to New York City. I thought that's probably where he went. Only one problem, we live in Texas. I'm still in Texas right now, and I want to get to New York City on a horse? That will take months! I sighed,"Maybe I should just got home!" I shouted. June whinnied. I felt like she was telling me not to give up. "Your right June, I'm not going to give up!" I said and smiled. Then June cantered for a little bit. We were both excited about going on an adventure.
When we got to a city, I stayed on the far right side of the road. Like where somebody would ride a bike. People stared at me, but I didn't care. They were probably thinking,"Doesn't she know people don't ride horses in town anymore?" I just ignored them, and kept thinking about getting to my dad.
After we passed the town, I thought I should let June rest for a little while. So we stopped under an apple tree. I picked three apples off the tree. Two for June, and one for me. They tasted really juicy, and they were delicious. I stuffed some in my backpack for future use. I guess I hadn't eaten all day, and so I took another apple because I was very hungry. Then I started dozing off a little bit.
Later, I woke up from my nap. I thought we should continue so I got on June and we trotted off. I loved this because the wind slightly breezed through my hair, and I could hear June's hooves crunching the tall grass. This was how I wanted it to be. Just me, and June riding off in the prairie. In no time, I saw a sign that read, Claytonville 16,036. My nanna lives here, and I suppose I could visit her. She might give me a map or a compass, but than I thought, she would'nt let me continue my journey by myself. She would call my mom, or something. So I decided not to stop at her house.
When we were out of Claytonville, the sun started to set, and then I felt a few rain drops on my shoulder. It started raining, then it started to pour. I heard thunder in the distance, and June and I stopped at a big weeping-willow tree. We weren't getting very wet because of all the branches so it was pretty cozy. I was kind of cold though, but I figured I would be fine. I fell asleep for a litte bit, but I was awakened by a really loud noise. It sounded like a train. Then I looked in the sky, and screamed because I saw a huge twister.
