Bea's POV:
After dinner was over me and my sister returned to our bedchambers, Thomas went home and dad got his alcohol out. About 5 minutes later, Mary was in my room and we were ready to go, we waited for all the staff and our father to go to bed and we snuck our way down the stairs, we made our way to the stables and picked 2 healthy looking horses, one was black and the other was grey with small white dots it, me and my sister both have had riding training so we knew how the saddles and everything worked. We saddled up our own horses, I had the black one and Mary had the grey one, we grabbed some carrots and apples because that was what we were taught that are the best food for horses and rode down the long stone path that lead to our house and into the forest, we knew that nobody would dare to follow us there.
After about 2 hours of riding though the deserted woods, Mary said, "OK, I am really tired now, can we find a place to sleep and continue traveling tomorrow,"
"Of course, let's stop here," I said pointing to a large tree that we could rest against. We slowed our horses and tied the reigns up against a thinner tree, we gave them a carrot each and sat together under the tree, I was still wearing the dress from dinner. I was to tired to change so I took the knife that I had packed in my suitcase and cut the skirt of my dress so that it was only knee length,
"That's better," I said with a sigh
"Can you help me with mine?" My sister said, I looked at her and saw her halfway through ripping her dark blue dress,
"Yes of course," I said with a chuckle leaning over to help her. Once I had finished, we both leaned back and sighed.
The forest was cold and dark, though there was nothing to be scared of, there was no body around, no-one apart from me and Mary have ever dared to venture this far with no designated destination. I tried to create a fire by rubbing two sticks together but it was no use, I would have to use all my strength to get just a spark out of that, it's harder than it looks you know.
I rubbed my hands together because that's what I used to do in the winter when we used to play on the manor grounds, I looked down at my hands and realised, oh my God! There's a flame in my hand, "Mary, quick, look at my hands!" She turned around in urgency and looked at the flame that burned in the middle of my hand, the weird thing was, I didn't even feel the heat on my hands,
" try and shoot it onto the ground in between us," she told me, I aimed and threw the fire, and sure enough, we now had a beautiful blazing fire lighting up the reflections in our dark brown eyes, "h-how did you do that Bea!?" She asked mesmerised,
"I-I have no idea, what just happened! That has never happened before, what's wrong with me!" I said beginning to panic,
"Don't be scared Bea, none of us got hurt, that's all that matters!" She reassured me, Mary went to sleep about 5 minutes and I was asleep soon after that, both of in big confusion, but we were both to tired to think about it now.
