Silver Dream, Guardian X
They rounded a bend in the trail, and Joanna's eyes tracked the lights through the trees to her right - the neighbor's house. She didn't know Mr. Thomas, the man who lived there, very well. His porch light was on and was so bright that the house seemed even closer than usual to the fence dividing their properties. Joanna pulled Silver Sky to a halt. She hadn't heard people talk about Mr. Thomas for a long time, but she'd heard stories when she was young.
She heard a thump and Silver Sky's ears whipped toward Mr. Thomas's house. A hushed neigh floated toward them.
Joanna tensed. Mr. Thomas didn't have any horses.
Silver Sky snorted and tossed his head, but there was no response. Had the soft neigh been a trick of the forest, bending a whinny from the fillies so it seemed to come from another direction? Really, a horse at Mr. Thomas's place seemed ridiculous. Where would he keep it?
Silver Sky bobbed his head, ready to continue. "Walk on," murmured Joanna.
There was only one place to stable a horse on the property - in the rickety old shed that wasn't remotely suitable for a horse.
Should she tell someone what she'd heard? It probably wouldn't do any good. Her dad would tell her to mind her own business and, even worse, her brother would laugh at her. And besides, there was nothing wrong with Mr. Thomas having a horse. Unless the horse wasn't safe in the shed.
There was one thing she could do. She could find out what the whinny meant for herself. Tonight.
What Joanna finds in the shed leads her on a bizarre adventure in search of a kidnapped teenaged boy, a senile old man, and the truth of what happened to a special group of horses, many years before.
