Horse...
It had been a rough day. Dawn was beat, I was tired, time to rest. A stable is the best place to sleep. Warm, soft, dry hay, plenty for Dawn to eat. I closed the barn doors, and Dawn huffed. I climbed the ladder that led to the top layer of the barn. A cold, heavy, and strong breeze blew through the window. I closed it and latched the ladder way. I took off my dirty shirt, and slipped off my worn down boots. I grabbed the covers from my bag sitting in the left corner of the barn. I light the lantern that was in there to. Wrapping myself in the covers, and wadding some hay for a pillow, I dozed off. The next rainy morning I got myself dressed, and got on Dawn. Me and Dawn are running away from the law. I killed the man who killed my …show more content…
We made it to the texas border at sun down, but I thought we’d stay a mile from it to camp, then head on. I carry my Pa’s gun in my bag. Not that I try to hide it, it’s just I’m a girl, and girls don’t get guns. My Pa was Shot in the arm, then in the leg, and kept alive for six days, before that man, hung him and shot him in the chest. I did the same, but I kept him for eight days, and shot him in both legs. An eye for an arm, I was taught. Someone comes and slaps you, you hit em’ harder, then hit em’ again so you can run far before they’re woke. I did the same thing I did last night, but I used a bag of hay, which I’d gathered a pound of before we left. I carry a pocket knife, made from steel my Pa found.

Ma was killed cause of me, my Aunt is in New York, wherever that is, and my cousins are in Kentucky, waitin for …show more content…
I know I’m 13, but I’m free, I do as I please. Dawn ate hay, had some water, then hay again. Then, we rode to the border after we packed up. I rode past the man in a small box like building, and he nodded and tipped his hat, and I nodded. I rode on a little fast after that, and I was in Louisiana. I rode on for two days without sleep, until I found a deserted barn. It had a well, a working one, a barn, and a stash of canned beans and matches. I gathered dead bushes, rocks, and what broked wood I could find inside the barn. I put the rocks in a circle form, and placed the dead bush sticks at the bottom, and made a teepee out of the broken wood. I light a match and it smoked. I light another one, and then, it blazed until I went into the barn. I Slept with Dawn, and woke to see a dust cloud in the distance, THE LAW. I got on Dawn after gathering my supplies containing coal siders, Water, hay, and my gun and knife. The other stuff was in Dawn’s saddle bag. I put on a
