At the knock, Sayomi's mother stood and went to answer it. When she opened the door, she wa s not entirely sure who it was, but when she saw the horse, her green eyes met his and whisked him inside. She didn't say anything. She decided she would wait till either he told her the grave news of her daughter, or she would appear. Though, she wasn't sure of that with that fact that the man has her horse. Placed a tray of bread, cheese and fruits in front of him, something that she had prepared for Sayomi's return. She sat in a chair, and sipped her hot tea, watching the man. Nothing he could do would scare her, so she just waited.
Sayomi ran through trees, breathing heavily as she fought through the mud. Finally she saw the horse, he was stuck in the mud, only a few yards from the mud slid. She went over and started to pull on the reigns, grabbing his attention. After a few tugs, he started to climb with her pulling. It was a process that seemed like it took forever, as the hill continued to slide, but in reality, it was only a few minutes. By the time he was out though, they were near the edge, he pulled her away from the edge. As we through the mud, a tree started to fall down the root swung up, hitting her in the head. She rubbed her rubbed her head, not noticing that it was bleeding because of the rain. She jumped on the horse, and let it take her. The horse knew what to do in situations like this. Once the horse was on the the main road close to the house, it walked slowly, exhausted from its struggle. Sayomi leaned on its neck, breathing heavily still, exhausted and cold, her head slowly bleeding. As they got to her house, Sayomi slid off slowly and hugged the horse. "I am so ready to just sleep forever." She got a soft huff in response and that was it.
