Passion's Joy
“Through the pounding of her heart and the rush of wind, she was too panicked to contemplate just what that laughter meant. She could only keep to her horse as the great creature dashed through brush and forest. Once on the freedom of the road, Libertine broke into a crazed run, slicing through the air at a dizzying speed, knowing only to carry her mistress away as fast and far as her four strong legs were capable.Tears of intense relief and fear blinded her along with the wind, and it was four ...or five miles later before she swallowed her frightened panic and attempted to gain control of the reins. Libertine's fear could have easily fueled another five miles, and mastering it proved a hard struggle. She finally grasped the reins, and with a hard tug of all her strength, she called, "Whoa, whoa! Easy girl... easy...." Libertine gradually slowed to a quick trot, and Joy dug tight with her knees,matching her movement to her horse's with the skill of a seasoned rider. Once she had full control, she came to a complete stop to take stock of her situation.No one chased her, though as she wiped her tears and drew her first even breath, she found herself the recipient of more than one interested stare.MoreLess
