Hello!
Here is the next story. Its also the last one. Happy reading!
Dawn Chubb was galloping through a field to get to her friends house. Her friend, Sophie Michelle, had woke up that morning to find out that her dog was missing.
Dawn reached a fence. Her horse, Trusty, jumped over it. Dawn reined Trusty to a trot. They trotted into the garden to find Sophie, Lucy, Kofi, Max, and another kid Dawn didn't know. Sophie waved at Dawn to come over.
"Thanks for coming," said Sophie."Now, my dog, Spots, was here yesterday and is now gone."
"Was there anyone here yesterday? Anything odd?" asked Kofi.
"Not even a baby was here yesterday." declared Sophie. "I've got a plan made to find him. Spots is a Dalmatian, his head comes up to my waist, and he has two black spots around his eyes. Anyway, heres my plan: There are six of us here. We'll go in groups of two and look for Spots. If you see anybody ask them if they've seen Spots. OK?"
Everyone nodded.
"Alright, so its Dawn and Lucy, Kofi and Max, me and Sam."
"Lets go then." said Kofi.
Dawn mounted Trusty and waited for Lucy to mount Bree.
"We'll meet here at three pm." called Sophie.
"Does she think we need seven hours?" muttered Max.
Dawn and Lucy trotted over to a fence and jumped it. They were heading to the Forest. The Forest was well over five hundred years old, and it was huge. Dawn took out her pocket knife, a present for her 13th birthday. She cut a mark into one of the trees.
The two girls searched all over the place, jumping fallen trees, wading streams and trotting around. Three hours had gone past since they left the others.
Another hour went past. The two girls stopped, and unpacked their lunch. Both were tired of the woods.
"We'll keep on looking for another hour or so, and if we don't find anything lets look somewhere else." suggested Lucy.
"OK." agreed Dawn.
They packed up their lunch, and, mounting their horses, rode deeper into the wood.
After half an hour Lucy spotted paw prints in the mud. The minutes later Dawn found Spots' collar in a bush. Dawn showed it to Lucy.
"Spots definitely came this way." said Lucy. "Just follow the paw prints."
The two girls followed them the whole way to a hole. Short barks were issuing from the hole. Lucy took out some rope from her saddle bag. Dawn gave her rope to Lucy.
"I'll go down. I'll tie spots onto the rope, then I'll come back up to help pull Spots up." said Dawn.
Dawn started climbing down. The hole was ten feet deep, and very rocky. There was a ledge she could stand on over halfway down. Looking up, she yelled "Do you have a torch?" In reply a torch fell down. Dawn picked it up, switched it on and climbed down the last three feet. Lucy threw down a the rope. "I've tied the rope to the horses' saddles!" she yelled. "Cool." yelled back Dawn. She hunted around the hole. She found Spots huddled in a corner. "Hello boy." said Dawn. She cautiously walked over and sat down. Tying the rope around Spots' body, she led him closer to the opening.
Dawn climbed up one of the ropes. Lucy helped her get up. They walked the horses forward until Spots' appeared. Lucy ran over and untied the ropes. Dawn put them away. Spots was fine, so they let him run along next to them while they cantered back.
They reached Sophie's house at three thirty-five. Sophie gave a yell and ran over to them. She gave her dog a hug, and thanked the two girls. Sophie's mum offered them some money for finding the dog. Lucy accepted, but Dawn said no. "I'd like my own dog." said Dawn.
Sophie's mum beamed and went off to arrange a day to buy one. But thats a story for another day.
Thats the last story. I hope you liked it!
