Casey screamed No!as he jumped, but it was too late.Chris was being swept away, and her little legs gave out, and she was washed under.

Zach saw Chris underwater and dived under as well as the water filled his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and saw Chris just out of reach. He gave one final push and grabbed her around the waist. "Gotcha!" He thought comming back up. He looked around for something, anthing to grab onto. A rock! He grabbed it as the water got louder? He looked down the overflowed river a bit more and saw teh end.........a waterfall. "Shit." He mumbled just barley grabbing onto the rock with his free hand. His hand almost slipped but he wrapped his arm around it and hugged it close along with Chris.

Casey ran to the edge, taking Stellar.She threw Stellar's lead rope to Zach, and it just made it.

Zach quickly grabbed onto the rope even though his hands and fingers were wet and numb.

Zach held on to Chris tightly as the current never let up. He all the while prayed his hands wouldn't give out.

Casey asked Stellar to continue, and the big mare noticed the tide rising, and she backed quickly, finally pulling them to shore.Whoa, Whoa.she said softly, then ran to help Zach.

Zach got up and handed Casey Chris. "I think she's ok.......just needs to get warm." He said freezing himslef. He smiled at Casey after a minute. "Told ya i'd be right back." He said smirking adorably.

Casey was breathing from shock, and she walked over to him, and slapped him in the face.How could you say that! How could you worry me like that!she said, then hugging him, tears of relief falling.

Zach's eyes widened when he felt a slap but recovered when he looked down to find Casey hugging him. He smiled slightly and hugged her back. After a moment he pulled away and grabbed her hand with his free one. He looked at the horses and thought for a moment. "You want to carry her back or do you want me to?" He asked gritting his teeth to keep from shivering.

Casey lookeed at him, and immediatly took off her jacket and threw it over him.I'll take her.She took her shivering sister and gently lifted her onto Stellar, then mounted, holding her close to warm her up, then reaching down and grasping Fairy's reins gently.

Zach nodded and hopped back up on Wildfire. Wildfire wasn't too happy about being left in the rain and cold for all this time so as soon as Zach got on he started to sidestep and back up. Zach however was not in the mood. He pulled the reigns taunt and sat deep in his saddle while giving his horse a firm squeeze to go forward.

As they went forward Zach saw the storm was getting worse and so were the trails. They were getting more and more muddy leaving sucking sounds when the horses stepped. Wildfire didn't like this either so each time he set his hoof down it shot back up again like it was on glass about ready to break. Zach gave him a pat and another squeeze. He knew they were almost there so he wasn't too worried.

Suddenly, Minnie spooked at a crack among the branches of a tree, and slipped, falling to the side.Casey threw Christina clear, but got caught under Minnie's side, gasping, her eyes wide at the crushing force on her leg.
