Bonnie's POV
We trotted out into the rain, which was now even stronger, Shadow and Warrior started trotting up the hill.
"Do you want to explore town again, or go on a complete new adventure and go up that hill over there!"
I excitedly shouted to Wallace.
"Bonnie, I think we should... go on the complete new adventure up the hill!"
Wallace shouted back grinning at me.
"Wallace? Did you just read my mind?!"
I shouted over to Wallace smiling.
"Yaah!"
Wallace shouted at Warrior as he tapped his feet against Warrior's tummy. Warrior started to gallop.
"I'm going to beat you!"
Wallace cockily shouted over his shoulder as Warrior galloped toward the hill. I was not going to let that happen.
I clicked my tongue and Shadow started to trot.
"Shadow, come on we want to beat Wallace and Warrior, right?"
I whispered in Shadow's ear and immediately Shadow started to gallop toward the hill. We were gaining on Wallace and Warrior.
"How are you going to feel when I win?"
I smirked at Wallace.
"Bonnie, you should ask that question to your self."
Wallace grinned as he and Warrior sped up again. Shadow and I quickly got on their tail and zoomed right bye them.
"Eat my dust Wallace!"
I cheekily shouted over my shoulder.
"Maybe you'll learn not to be cocky when I win this race!"
"First of all there is no dust and second, I'm not cocky!"
Wallace shouted over laughing. Wallace was gaining on me and soon we were neck to neck.
"So Bonnie, now that we are so close to the finish any one of us could end up winning."
Wallace said still looking forward.
"Well you're not going to win, at least not on my watch!"
I confidentiality shouted. We were both so close to the top of the hill. Warrior sped up and was about an inch in front on Shadow and I. Wallace was going to win, but then Shadow jumped about a foot forward toward the finishing spot. Shadow and I had won.
"Yes, I won! Shadow we won! We beat Wallace and Warrior!"
I shouted with joy to Shadow.
"So Wallace, what's my prize?"
I questioned smiling at him.
"This..."
Wallace smiled as he crashed his cold wet lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his wet hair. Wallace's cold hands snaked around my waist. The hood of my cloak fell and the rain made my hair wet in an instant. We were both drenched with rain but we didn't care. We pulled away and I chuckled, Wallace was smiling he looked so dreamy. I didn't bother putting my hood up again because my hair was already soaked. Droplets of water were hanging off my nose and softly landing on my bottom lip. Droplets of water were clinging onto Wallace's eyelashes. We both burst out laughing.
"Let's go to the apple trees and eat some apples."
I smiled at Wallace, he smiled back and our horses galloped in unison toward the apple trees. When we got under the shelter off the apple trees I leaped off of Shadow and he kneeled down on the damp grass, followed shortly by Wallace and Warrior. I picked the two reddest apples I could find and took a hungry chomp out of one and threw the other one to Wallace. He smiled and munched at his apple as well.
"Do you want some bread, cheese or ham?"
I asked Wallace taking the dry bag from my side.
"Yes please."
Wallace politely answered. I passed him the bag and he grabbed it and took a seat at the trunk of one of the apple trees. I sat right next to him and leaned my head against his shoulder. We were looking over a mountain and we could see my little cottage in the distance and Loch Bonnie. It was quite but peaceful.
We ate the bread, ham and cheese and about 3 apples each and still the rain was pouring down.
"This reminds me of the day you found me, in the forest down there."
Wallace calmly said.
"That was one of the best days of my life..."
"I am so glad I found you."
I whispered in Wallace's ear.
"You know, sometimes I..."
I paused for a little while.
"It's okay, Bonnie you can tell me."
Wallace whispers reassuringly.
"I would rather be with you than my own family. I love them and all but..."
"They just don't understand..."
Wallace finishes. A silent tear runs down my face.
"Bonnie, I... I had the same experience with my family."
Wallace whispers still looking at the cottage and the loch.
"I could stay here forever its so beautiful."
I whispered happily. We just sat there look over the hill for what felt like years but it was relaxing, then rain started to clear but the grass was going to be muddy and slippery.
"Let's go before the rain comes back again."
I whispered to Wallace. I whistled to Shadow and Warrior and they both got up. I clambered on top of Shadow and Wallace got on to Warrior. We started towards the steep, slippery hill and the horses walked slowly so they wouldn't slip.
"Bonnie, be careful."
Wallace said sounding a little worried.
"Don't worry I'll be okay."
I said smiling in a reassuring tone.
We were about half way down the hill when Shadow slipped.
"Ahh!"
I shouted with fear as Shadow tried to regain his balance I fell off and I was rolling down the hill with great speed.
"Bonnie!"
Wallace shouted over to me. He jumped off Warrior and started sliding down on his chest. Mud was spattering all over his face but he kept sliding down the muddy grass. I was about a three quarters of the way down when Wallace slid right into me but tightly grabbed my waist and I squeezed him into a tight hug and I shut my eyes, we were rolling down together until, when I was on top, Wallace leaned backwards so his back was facing the bottom of the hill. I was still hugging him tightly. We started to slow down and then we came to a stop, at the bottom of the hill.
"Bonnie? Are you okay?"
Wallace asked me out of breath. I didn't answer I just went straight in for a kiss. I pulled away.
"I'm much better now."
I said cheekily winking at Wallace.
"Thank you so much for catching me, I was so scared."
We stayed lying down at the bottom of the hill until Shadow and Warrior made it to the bottom. I jumped on Shadow and Wallace on Warrior and we trotted back to the stables. Wallace and I were both covered in mud.
'I hope my dress and cloak don't get stained.'
I thought. Well at least we're safe.
We put the horses back and sat on the hay for a while. We were both exhausted.
