It was going on midnight as a flash of pright red hair flickered past the candlelight. 15 year old Samantha Forster was sneaking out again. Her lips curved into a smirk as she jammed her legs into her brother Jakes breeches. Tying her firey hair into a quick ponytail, Sam grabbed her boots and tiptoed down the stairs skipping the step that always let out a creeeeeeeekkkkkk and waited until she got out into the chilly air to put on the boots.
Her blue eyes glimmering with mirth she walked over to the pasture with a lead rope in one hand and called to her midnight black gelding King. "Here boy. Come on lets go for a ride." She crooned as he snorted and trotted over to her. Sam patted his neck while clipping on the lead rope and leading King toward the barn. "Come on boy." She said whispering sweet nothings in his ears. King snorted again and pawed the ground before following.
10 minutes later Samantha had King in a halter and was getting on his back from a bale of hay left outside Rose's stall. Once on she grinned letting her mind adjust to the height and grabbed onto the reins and squeezed her legs to King's black sides and the gelding cantered out of the barn and down the street heading for the hills unaware that Jake and Sam's grandfather were watching her with the same thought going through their minds Be careful Bright Eyes.

Not far behind Samantha was the queen, riding on her beautiful stallion horse, Elijah. She saw Sam sneak out and grinned to herself. She was wearing a red cloak that draped around her riding dress. The dress was embroidered in silver with a few gold laces that trimmed the collar and edges. She was wearing her hair in a beautiful braid and had her riding boots on. At last Elijah caught up to Knight and she hushed to him to keep pace with the other horse. She quickly glanced over to the person on the horse.
Guen thought she had seen this girl before, by the town markets. She wasn't sure, but she sat tall and said, "Might I ask you who are?" It was awkward talking to someone on horseback, let alone during midnight. The queen had gone out for a night tour around, as she heard that a few nights ago fighting broke out. Plus, she couldnt' sleep and needed some fresh air. She had important business to do as well.

Sam turned her head around in surprise as she saw Queen Guenevere wife of King Arthur. She slowed King down as he tried to race against the stallion. "Easy boy." She crooned in the black destrier's ears before looking up at Guen her blue eyes wide as strands of her red hair came out of her ponytail. "My name is Samantha. Samantha Forster." She said slowly her small mouth turning upwards in a friendly smile. The black gelding under her snorted in impatience wanting to run, his rider just patted his great neck, promising a run soon.

Queen Guenevere smiled at the young girl. "Samantha..." she murmured to herself, memorizing the name. Elijah snorted and trotted in place, and she whispered int his ear to calm down. "Easy there." she whispered to Elijah. She gazed calmly at Sam. "Madam Samantha, would you like to compete in a race on horseback?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. She was always ready for competition...for fun. Guen knew that Elijah still had the wild horse speed in him, as he was tamed by her, and that he was one of the fastest in the land. But she was always hoping that someone else's horse would be faster than hers, so she and Elijah could work more on their speed.

King's ears pricked up and he bobbed his head as if trying to influence Sam's answer. The rider laughed patting her gelding's neck. "Sure why not. I think King would like that' She said smiling brightly and shaking her hair out of it's messy ponytail only to retie it but more tightly this time. King swished his tail tugging playfully at the reins. Sam rolled her eyes at her mount knowing he was just showing off. The black horse stamped blowing through his lips.
