Brianâs voice called from behind.
He was fighting to keep his tone calm, but slight tremors escaped him.
Rosalynn did as he had instructed, but the horse kept on running uncontrollably.
âI canât! Itâs not stopping!â Rosalynn shouted.
Her face turned pale as the horse ran straight, coming closer and closer to the wall.
Her eyes fell on the bracelet on her left wrist.
In a fit of intuition, she quickly took out a silver needle from the bracelet and pricked the neck of the horse.
The animal neighed, its four hooves rising from the ground.
Rosalynn leaned back from the movement.
âShe was going to fall!
The dazzling sunlight burned her eyes, forcing them close.
Rosalynn held her breath, waiting for the inevitable impact of her body hitting hard earth.
But the foreseen moment never arrived.
She felt warm arms wrap around her body, a familiar scent engulfing her.
The next second, her body was being lifted and carried.
At the absence of perceived danger, Rosalynn finally opened her eyes, her gaze meeting Brianâs.
Worry was written all over his face.

Once again, Brian had saved her from certain harm.
His breath was still heavy.
Tightening his arms around Rosalynn, he said in a low voice, âYouâre safe now.
Itâs alright.
â
Rosalynnâs heart hammered violently in her chest.
She didnât know if it was because of fear or the uncharacteristic gentleness of his voice as he spoke to her.
Unthinkingly, her hands tightened on his clothes, and she couldnât find words to answer him.
The spell was broken by the sound of horsesâ hooves growing louder.
Chaz and his wife had come, along with some others.
âAre you okay?â Dayana dismounted from her horse with the help of her husband.
Her face was lined with worry.
âWeâre alright.
â Brian helped Rosalynn off the horse.
