Anna had been treading the thickets for almost an hour.  She was sick of her dress getting caught in every other branch.  She had finally reached an opening in the woods, an open plain.  It was about time she took a rest so she took out a small pouch of water and started to drink out of it quickly.  Then she quickly slowed herself down so she was only drinking a little at a time.  She didn't want to run out of water too quickly.<br/><br/>Suddenly she looked up at the sound of footsteps.  She immediately drew her bow but stopped as she noticed that it was just a horse.  But it was a beautiful horse that was the color of shadows.  Dark as night and a graceful horse that was in the field, watching her.  She put her bow away and stood up as she walked towards the beast.  "What's a horse doing out here?  Must be wild" she thought out loud as she approached it.  Then a sudden idea came to her.  She could ride the horse instead of having to walk to her target.<br/><br/>With the idea in her mind, she walked up to the horse cautiously, only for it to back up and start galloping towards an open path in the forest.  "No!  Come back!" She called to the horse.  Anna quickly started to run after the horse through the path, unaware that she was running straight to her doom.<br/><br/>When she finally reached the horse, it had stopped near a rocky terrain.  She stopped to catch her breath and collapsed to her knees.  Running in a dress wasn't the most efficient way to get around.  She looked at her slightly cut up hand and started to fix it up.  She looked up at the horse suspiciously as it waited there patiently for something to happen,<br/>'Why stop here?' She wondered.
