Looking for a male writer to write the character of horse trainer, please PM first with ideas for your character.
“Mistress please, just lie still, at least until we know they’re gone. They can’t see us from here so we’re safe.”
“They’ll get away and I’ll never know who did this. I have to get to Shadow and go after them.” the young mistress whispered.
“I’m sorry mam, but you’re not going anywhere but back in the house, not with that bullet in your shoulder. If your mama were here she’d be using a belt across my bottom for even letting you get this far.”
“But what about Dad, he’s down by the waterhole checking out the cattle. What if they get to him? I’ve got too….”
“Hush…” Kelly, the house maid said sternly and covered her mistress’s mouth. “I hear something…” she whispered in her ears.
There was a rustle of bushes and both women hid silently as they heard twigs being broken. They stayed very still hoping whoever it was would not detect them and move on. Even though Laura had her rifle with her, there was no way she could shoot with a bullet in her shoulder. Especially when it was beginning to throb terribly.
Out of the bushes suddenly came a man, well over 6 foot tall, with muscles in his upper arms that looked like melons from the garden. He was well built and looked like he could handle several men at one time. He instantly picked up Laura with his strong arms and at first she hit him with her good arm.
“Put me down this instant, who the hell do you think you are anyway?” she asked fighting to get away from him, believing him to be one of the men that had caused the ruckus at the house.
“I’m the new horse trainer hired by Mr. Watson and I’m guessing you’re his daughter.” the stranger said.
Besides his muscles, the next thing Laura noticed about the man was his scruffy but handsome face, dark hair and piercing green eyes.
“Bring her into the house so I can see about getting that bullet out of her.” Kelly said as she stood up leading the way with Shadow, Laura’s horse trailing behind them all.
