Amanda rode along the cobble stone road, she saw a flame in the distance and urged the horse closer, dismounting the horse as she got to it, she sat near the fire without a word..
"You there! What are you doing here?" a voice came sounding from the dark
"Oh, I.. I'm sorry, I'm just resting." She replied timidly, looking at the tall, dark figure, Bailey looked at the figure that stood near Amanda, Bailey stood up and growled at the figure, "No, Bailey." She tugged Bailey's collar and she sat down beside Amanda, the voice spoke again, "Alright, just, keep an eye on your dog, aye?" Amanda nodded quickly and the figure sauntered off, Amanda watched the figure leave back into the dark with a small frown, she leaned against Bailey
"What are we going to do, Bailey? Everyone hates me.. Ms. Brynleigh even got upset with me.. She never gets upset with me... Mr. Kris too..." She spoke quietly, Bailey raised her head and looked at Amanda as she spoke then put her head down on her paws again.
Amanda pulled her bag off her shoulders and pulled out her cloak, wrapping it around her and leaning against Bailey, closing her eyes and eventually falling asleep...
