Fall time at the calvary was hard work for Peter and me we were running back and forth from fort to fort.I didn't know why we sending so many messages,but it seemed weird to me.Everyday after our runs Peter put me in the pasture.This is were the second part of our story begins.

  That day I met two new horses one a grullo stallion and the other a chesnut paint.General seemed to like the chesnut paint alot so I wanted to meet her.Her name was Bella Conada,but everyone called her Bella.She was a sweet mare,but at the time I didn't know that later on we would become good friends.The other horse the grullo was named Ace,and he didn't take a liking to any of us.He was a hansome stallion though and at the time I was convinced I would love him forever.

   Than the colonel led Worthy into the pasture.All of the horses in the pasture at the time stopped everything,and stared at him so ran off others acted strange,but I stayed were I was glaring at him."What are you looking at new comer"snorted Worthy staring at me."I've been here for a month so I'm not a new comer,and my name is Evening Star"I snorted back at him.I'd never acting so protective before,but this stallion had made me so mad."Is that a challenge"cried Worthy galloping towards me.When he reached me I didn't flinch I just glared at him.

   Than something in me snapped,and I reared up and kicked Worthy in the head.All the horses in the pasture whinnied.Worthy stepped back he looked defeated,but he came back to attack.He kicked me in the side and I could feel the pain shake me,but I didn't stop.I than kicked Worthy in the side.He once again took a step back and glared at me,and than he came back to attack again,but I was to fast he was on the ground before he knew it.About this time colonel had come running with a gun in hand.

  Worthy smiled at me and than galloped off giving colonel a clear path to me.When colonel reached me Solitude,Worthy,and Bella jumped in front of me.Colonel was still looking detirmened to shoot me,but than a young foal that looked like Ace jumped in front of me too.The colonel took a step back and glared at me and than walked off.I watched him go,but than I relized he was going towards Peter with the gun in hand.

  I galloped towards the fence I heard General scream"No."When I reached the fence I closed my eyes and jumped.I flew across the fence and landed on the other side and dashed towards colonel who now had Peter by the shirt.The colonel turned towards me and held the gun up,but I knocked the gun down and than reared up.Peter motioned for me to stop,but I didn't and now I had colonel on the ground.The colonel grabbed his gun and pointed it at me,but before he could shoot Peter had jumped on my back and we were dashing towards the large gate to escape the fort.

  I could hear all my friends in the pasture whinning to me,and I felt like a hero.Than before I knew it Peter and I were out of the fort and on our way to nowhere.We ended up in a grassy plain and than we found the indian village.The indians seemed scared at first,but Peter got off my back and told them that he meaned no harm.After that they welcomed us and they led me to a corral.

  That night Peter entered the corral and took my bridle of,and than I layed down.He put his army bag on my side and layed down on that.I watched over him that night thinking about all that we had been through.

  In the morning Peter and I ate some apples and than he got on me bareback which suprised me.Plus he didn't put the bridle on me either so that shocked me the most.He just rode me with nothing on me and it felt good to tell the truth.A couple other indians got on their horses,and they rode around with Peter and I.Than a indian girl rode up on her horse and Peter stopped and looked at her.He tried to talk to her,but nothing came out she smiled at him.

  I smiled at Peter's awful flurting skills and than he got of me and led me back to the corral.He left me there and than he and the indian girl walked off together.When night came Peter still hadn't returned,but another horse was put in the corral with me.He was a buckskin and he seemed to be an annoyed stallion.That night we talked and talked and I relized his name was Spirit the same Spirit that didn't like my father.

  He seemed to have a crush on me until that is he say a paint mare prance around outside the corral.Finally at about midnight Peter returned.He smiled at me and than took of his calvary jacket and through it in the mud he had a white shirt on now.I was glad and sad that he seemed like he hated the calvary now."I'm going to sleep in a te-pee tonight girl so you'll be alone with that stallion ok"Peter said patting me and than he left.I neighed,but he didn't return my call.What had happened to the Peter I loved.

   I didn't fall asleep that night so Spirit and I talked all night.In the morning a indian boy named Little Creek came in the corral and tied Spirit and the paint mare together on a rope and than let them run out of the corral.I wanted to go out too,and to my suprise the boy let me out.So I ran around the indian village and saw everything,and when sunset arrived I was standing on a hill eating an apple beside the apple tree.Everything was so beautiful.

  A couple days later I stood in the same spot with Spirit and the paint mare named Rain.We were all eating apples while Spirit was trying to convince us to come join his herd.Than I smelled smoke and than all three of us saw the calvary racing towards the indian village we all raced down the hill."Peter"I neighed looking around in a panic.Than I spotted the colonel and Spirit by the river the colonel had the girl Peter liked,and than I saw Peter try to save her,but than he was shot.He fell into the river.In a panic and raced towards the river and as I was jumping in colonel shot me in the leg.

  I was in pain,but I tried my best to swim to Peter,but the river was to strong.Than we fell off a waterfall and I limped towards Peter and nuzzled him."What would I do without you Peter"I whispered as tears streamed down my face.Than some calvary men roped me and pulled me away from Peter,and I couldn't fight them.I was a soldier wounded so I gave up the fight and I let them pull me to the train.

  When I was led into a car I heard familar whinnies so I looked up.Solitude,General,and Bella were in the same car.I frowned and went back to crying than I felt Solitude nuzzle me.General followed Solitude and he put his head around my neck,and than Bella smiled at me.Their kindness lifted my spirits and when we arrived at another calvary fort.I had no idead what they were doing,but I had to find a way back to Peter.

  We were all chained to a steamer and than a whip hit me in the back and with suprise I begain to walk.I saw the Spirit about four horses away from me.About an hour into our journey Spirit passed out.All kinds of horses looked at him in fear.Than as he was being pulled away he got up and escaped the train and kicked the chain I was connected to and I escaped.I pulled out of my gear and followed Spirit,but this was a huge mistake because now we were running for our lives.The steamer was rolling down the hill behind us.

  The steamer collided with buildings,and train cars and exploded so now a fire was spreading rapidly through the forest I was running in.I had lost sight of Spirit and now I ran alone in the burning forest.Their was no escape and than I jumped a long and caught sight of Spirit and the indian boy.So I followed them off the cliff.I landed in the water,but I didn't have enough strength to pull out of the water so I went down stream a little bit,and than I got out of the water.

  In the morning I heard the calvary coming so I stood up.I saw colonel and Worthy first.Than I looked downstream and saw Spirit and Little Creek so I ran after them.The calvary was shooting at us so I ran as fast as I could.We ran into a canyon and I went a different path than Spirit so Colonel split up his men and sent alot on my path after me.

  I had no idea how to escape this time so I did the thing I was best at...ran.The men behind me were throwing some ropes,but they always missed me.Than in an opening between two rocks I saw the colonel and than anger filled me."He killed Peter"I thought and than suddenly I jumped through the opening and landed beside The Colonel.I bit the Colonel and knocked him off Worthy.

  Worthy reared up and this time I was ready so I kicked Worthy in the head sending him on the ground a couple feet from colonel."You little rat"snorted Worthy as he got up and jumped at me again.I moved to the side just enough so that Worthy flew past me.Than I felt a man jump on my back.I lunged foward at full speed,ad when we reached an edge I turned suddenly sending the man flying over the cliff.

  Now Worthy raced towards me and he hit me so that I was an inch from falling off the edge,but I jumped over Worthy and ran down the path in front of me.The Colonel had stood up now and mounted Worthy and he chased after me.When I reached the end of the path their was a huge gap between the cliff I was standing on and the cliff to freedom.I was stuck and I had nowhere to go,but I closed my eyes and saw my life flash before me.

  I remembered how Peter found me alone,and how I loved him.How I ended up in the calvary,and how I had loved Solitude as a mate and how Peter died.I opened my eyes and than raced foward I could her my father's voice in my head saying "Run,Run."So I did and than I jumped and flew across the gap between the cliffs and landed on the other side.

  As I landed on the other
