All of my horses were back safe and sound in their stalls. All except for Bond that is. We still couldnt find him, and i was getting worried. JAson and I were on the trails looking for him, or at least Black. Maybe that would help too. "Black!" I yelled over and over again. We walked for what seemed like miles. The sun was blistering and I was going to faint. "I have to sit down for a minute." I told Jason, sitting down on arock. "Are you ok?" He asked worried. Beofre I could answer Black burst out of the trees. He looked all stressful and whinnied furiously at us. "Black, I cant follow you. BRing me Bond." I said weakly. Suddenly Black collapsed on the ground beforee me. "Black!" I yelled g\jumping up shakily. Then it hit me. "Jason, hold on to my waist. We have to ride Black." I said. He looked at me as if I was crazy. We climbed on Blacks back and he trotted to a roup of horses. In the middle of a herd was Bond. When Black came near Bond reared up and ran the mares away from Black. All of a sudden I laughed. Bond had fought Blach and won! Bond won the mares and the herd. Black snorted disgusted. I jumped off of Black and walked over to Bond. He nuzzled me. "Lets go." I said grabbing his halter. he followed me willingly and when we passed Black, he snorted in his face. I laughed and patted Black on the muzzle. With a buck Black ran off to regain his herd. Jason and I walked back releived to the barn and put Bond away. It was still a mystery as to who had blackmailed me, and now I ahd to Court in 3 weeks. I couldnt wait. "Ash, meeting in the main hall, We think we know where emily is." Sammy told me. "Come on." I grabbed JAsons arm and we ran to the Main HAll.
