Morning Star nudged the fallen leaves aside revealing her prize beneath them. A bush of ripe, blueberries. Morning Star dug a shallow indent in the dirt around the base before gently tugging the small bush out of the ground. A howl split the silence and a dull pounding began making its way into Morning Star’s head. Panic, she realised. The dire wolves were mating again, making them more active than usual. Morning Star began prancing around the clearing, ears swivelling and eyes darting around madly. Her sky herder instincts kicked in as a snarl erupted from nearby. Shadows darted among the trees, they were trying to herd her. Not going to work, Morning Star thought smugly as she found she had the advantage. Her keen eyes scanned the clearing, there! A gap in the wolves’ circling. Morning Star braced herself before shooting through the trees and up into the sky, smoothly dodging the attempts to bring her crashing back down. Morning Star span through the sky, the wolves long gone. She adjusted the shrub in her mouth and continued on towards Moon Meadow.
Morning Star joined the sky herder patrol before touching down outside the Healing Cave. Jade Root greeted her, taking the berries and stashing them in the storage pit. “How many dire wolves?” Was her first question. Morning Star rolled her eyes.”Six. It wasn’t hard and I’m not hurt, to answer your next questions.”Jade Root snorted but continued slicing the remaining berries with her hooves. “Was Lily in the patrol you hijacked and took control of?”
“No. Never again.”Morning Star shuddered and Jade Root smirked.
“That’s my sister for you.”
Morning Star made to leave the cave but Jade Root spoke again, softly this time.”They worry, just like me. Can you blame them?” Morning Star halted and breathed through her aunt’s nostrils in answer.” You still have medicine mare practise tomorrow.” At that Morning Star nickered softly and nodded before trotting out.
oooooohhh
It looks kinda like this: 😆
Hey guys, what does XD mean???!!!
Oops. I didnt mean send only u, just post it thats what i ment.
Here it is:
Chapter Two
The Old Woman
Melissa ran up beside me.
"So, how was your meeting with the principal?" She asked in her snotty voice.
"None of your business." I muttered, walking into the forest.
I'd rather walk by the so called 'haunted house', than go by the public road the 'nosey-people' use, who won't mind their own business.
I always felt sorry for the old place, built in the 1800s I guess. And nobody has lived there for years, either.
I stopped and stared.
An old woman was sitting in a rocking chair on the porch of the 'haunted house!'
"Good afternoon, young lady. I suppose you would like tea and cookies?" She asked.
I was surprised; I didn't realize she would invite a weirdo like me.
I glanced at my watch. I've got time before dinner. Anyways, what could an old lady do to a 12 year old?
"Sure, thanks Mrs.-"
"Waullowbee," she said, "please, step inside."
. . . .
"Cream and sugar?" Mrs. Waullowbee asked.
"Yes, thank you. Mrs. Waullowbee, how did you get this house? I mean, it was empty yesterday." I bit my lip, remembering going into the house without permission.
"How did you know, it was, empty?" the old woman asked.
I stared down at my tea, blushing, also hoping that she wouldn’t see it.
"You know I was expecting you." Mrs. Waullowbee said, changing the subject.
I just stared at her.
"Not to worry. I just saw you taking good look on the inside of this house." She said, with a reassuring smile.
Suddenly, I began blurting out all what had happened earlier before.
"I see that you believe in pegasi."
I nodded, bracing myself for more mockery.
But to my surprise, Mrs. Waullowbee said, "I understand perfectly well. I also believe in those beautiful creatures, too. How about you come and stay every day after school and on Saturdays, except for Sundays of course. Oh and, I have something for you." She and hobbled toward the stairs.
. . . .
"Here it is. An old, boring, looking book isn't it?" Mrs. Waullowbee blew on it.
As if she read my mind, she said."This book is named Everything about Pegasi." Handing it to me, "It has everything you want to know about pegasi, of course."
"And”, she added, shooing me out the door, "there are some things in that book you will not expect."

Hey guys, I've been writing a novel called Galloping Wings, and I'm going to show you the first chapter:
Chapter One
It Just Takes Belief
"Write down on your sheet of paper, a mythical, or mystical, creature that you wish to be real. But it has to be created by you, not original."
P-E-G-A-S-I, I wrote.
Ms. Clye walked over to each student’s desk.
At last she came beside mine; glancing over my shoulder, "Esther, did you not understand what I said?”
I looked up and nodded.
"What did I say, opposite, of what you wrote?"
"Um," I took a moment to think, "You said for us to make up a mythical creature?"
"Uh huh, I will let you do just this time, but if you do that again, I will send you to the office."
I raised my hand.
"Yes?" Ms. Clye asked, rather impatiently.
"Actually, my real name is Hadassah, not Esther." I said, correcting her.
She gasped, insulted, the other students laughed in the background.
. . . .
"So, what did you write?" asked my only friend, Amy.
"Pegasi," I answered, "what did you write?"
“‘Panda corn’." She smiled.
I smiled back, imagining a panda with a horn.
. . . .
Unfortunately, after having lunch at the cafeteria, I was called to the principal’s office.
I sat down. The room looked like a dungeon; gray walls and one tiny window, so that no one can escape.
"Esther-" The principal started.
"My name is Haddi," I said through my gritted teeth.
Mr. McCarthy sighed. "Haddi, why did you insult Ms. Clye in history class?"
I didn’t answer.
"Es- I mean Haddi, pay attention-! Please."
"I didn't insult her; I only announced that my real name is Hadassah."
Because, she called me Esther.
Mr. McCarthy sighed again and leaned back in his black chair.
"Why didn't you just listen to Ms. Clye?" he finally asked.
“‘Cause, pegasi are the only creatures I want to be real," I answered.
Mr. McCarthy leaned forward. "Hadassah, do you believe in pegasi?"
I nodded.
"How do you believe in them; even though there have been no traces at all?" He sounded interested.
I shrugged. “I just believe, no matter what.”
Or not.
"Haddi, aren't you a little old to believe in fairy tales?" Mr. McCarthy asked, with a sneer on his face.
I was really irritated; I bared my teeth showing my braces.
"What I'm sure of, pegasi aren't just from Mother Goose, or something. They're real, and I'll prove it someday.”
I got up and went out the door.
And here's the front for the book:
jk ;)
