Lost?

It was a nice day today, well it was to the horrible weather we had been having all week, thunder storms. I like rain, I really do but lighting it scares me. Today was misty but what do you expect I live at the base of a mountain, it’s misty and foggy a lot and it was sprinkling but I was driving slowly to get back to my little house with my horse farm.
Kelton, my best friend in the world was sitting in the passenger seat looking at all the pictures we had taken while at the renaissance fair that had been going on for nine days and we were the whole time. I had two reasons for being there nine days. One was that I was one of the knights and I sword fight against other people there, I also join in on all of the archery contests. Sadly I must admit I am a much better archer. My other reason, Is because I own four horses and I board twelve others, I also train them. So I supply the horses for the jousting tournaments. It was taking so long to get home because of the weather but driving slow in Alaska is fun, you look out the window and you can see purple mountains with glaciers between them.
"Are you excited about the camping trip, Kelton" I asked "Yeah, but I wish I had more time to recover from the fair but you know me I wouldn't miss this for anything."
Every year during the summer while neither of us is taking any lessons in college we go on a camping trip in July, I own a little cottage in a valley between two mountains and every year we take the three day journey to my little shack half way up the mountain where we stay for two weeks. It’s always great we get to relax and reconnect with nature because there is no power up there and other than a little radio we can us to call for help if we need it we are completely cut off.
"All right check list." Kelton said "Ours or the horses?" I asked "Let’s start with the horses." Kelton said "well foods no problem they have an open grassy field and the old barn, We'll already have the tack but We need at least one grooming kit and remind me to make sure to pack a pick this time because last time I had to use a stick.” I said "That’s everything for them I think what about us." Kelton asked "Matches, flint, ax, first aid kit, Advil, knives, machete, some MRE's, other foods, tent, pegs to tether the horses, rope, washing board, flash lights, batteries, vitamins, pots ,two forks and spoons, one of those things you put over the fire so you can cook, purifying tablets, two canteens, tampons, enough under wear for a month, shirts, sweaters, jackets, tights, thermals, riding boots, hiking boots, tunics, gloves, mittens, blue jeans, pants, bras, a net, and bed rolls I think that’s it." I listed
"Well, we need hair brushes, combs, tooth paste, tooth brushes, floss, deodorant, and razors I think that is it. But why do we need tunics and tights?" "The ones from the fair, they are comfortable, warm and easy to ride in." "Yeah, they are comfy."
Soon we were driving up the gravel path to the house. "Let's unload the horses then we can go inside and pack then have lunch." "Okay who are we unloading other than Avalon, and knight?"
"Well there is autumn she is the brown mare in the back then there is Isosceles he is the huge bay, and Wan he is the white one." "Are they rowdy, Hayley?" "Well, Wan is and you know Knight is a nipper." "Okay, in the pin or stalls?" "Stalls." "Okay I'll go and open the doors." An hour later we had all of the horses in there stalls and all of the horses in the barn fed and watered.
"Lets go inside now, Hayley." "I am all for that, Let's go!" We sat down at the table under a window for two in the kitchen. I laid my head down on the table.
"So do you want lunch, first or do you want to pack first?" "Lunch, first." kelton said "Alright I'll use the meat that’s still in the fridge, but while I make lunch you have to pack all the stuff for the horses and lay out the saddles and tack. I smiled as I said it. She groaned "Alright but what ever your making it better be good if you’re putting me to work again." "It will be good I promise."
Twenty minutes later I laid down two bowls of onion soup with pieces of chicken in it topped with parsley and a roll of bread each with a glass of coke for me and sprite for kelton. I walked down the path to the barn where kelton had just finished laying out the bridals.
"Perfect timing, I just finished lunch" I said smiling "Oh thank god I'm so hungry, what it is?" "Onion soup with chicken and a roll." I said laughing at the look on her face; she was looking at the house with an expression of longing. "Well what are we waiting for?" she said as she ran for the house I laughed and ran to catch up with her. Fifteen minutes later we were done eating. "Kelton, go ahead and take a shower in the down stairs bath room I’ll wash the dishes and take one in the upstairs bathroom.

------------- Kelton's view--------
I walked down the hall way and stepped into the purple bathroom. I shut and locked the door then I looked into the mirror I wouldn't see my reflection for three weeks Long waist length dark brownish and reddish hair, dark green eyes, and pale complexion with lots of freckles. I turned away from the mirror grabbed hayley's extra bath robe from the door, folded it and laid it on top of the toilet, and jumped in the shower. I winced as the cold water came down but it soon warmed up.
------------- Hayley's view--------
I finished putting up the dishes and made my way up the stairs, down the hallway there were two doors the one on the left was the attic store room, on the right the first door was my room connecting to the bath room I walked to my room grabbed my fluffy green robe from my closet and went to the bath room that was decorated like a beach house with shells and light houses. I hung up the robe on the back of the door and made sure of that there was a towel on the rack before looking in the mirror.
Looking into the mirror I saw my reflection. Long shoulder length chestnut brown hair with gold blonde streaks. My hair was very thick and slightly poofy but not horribly so. I have pale blue eyes with a dark blue ring around the center and edge. I sighed and began to run the bath water for the tub. I stepped in and sighed. This would be the only really hot bath I would have with out working for it until I got back.
An hour later I walked down stairs wearing a pair of work out sweat pants and a tank top. Walking through the kitchen I looked at the time on the stove it was eight. We needed to be a sleep by nine. I walked through the hallway to the guest bed room that kelton was using she was already packing her stuff. "Hey, I decided to go ahead and start so I could help you." "How are we going to balance the stuff on the horses?" I asked "Well I thought about that and I figure if we use those shoulder bags or a back pack and we keep it light on our backs we should be fine but we really will be putting most of the stuff in saddle bags. Okay we just have to make sure to balance stuff out take plenty of breaks and we will be fine." "Maybe we should take a pack pony." I joked
"I really did consider it but the pony would just slow us down. She said wile tying her bed roll to the bottom of her back pack. "Well I'm done she said come on I'll help you pack"
An hour later I was packed as well. "Well I'm tired, and if were going to leave at six we are going to have to get up at five so I'll see you in the morning." Kelton said I put all my bags by my door and crawled into bed soon I was asleep.
BEEP*** BEEP****BEEP Uhhh I groaned as I turned off the stupid alarm clock. Then I opened my eyes and grinned, today we were leaving! I walked down the stairs and thought should I try to wake her up our should I let the smell of breakfast awaken the beast? Defiantly the second option I walked to the fridge pulled out eggs bacon and bread. "I feel like French toast and bacon." I made the toast first but a minute after I started with bacon Kelton came into the kitchen. "What's for breakfast?" Kelton said "French toast, and bacon, Do you want milk or orange juice?" I asked “Milk, please."
After breakfast we hauled all of our bags to the barn. "Kelton, should I ride Knight or Key?" "Well it depends, do you want to go fast or do you want to jump?" "Well if there is an emergency I will probably want to go fast then." "Then that answers your question." I went over to Knights stall, knight was a huge dapple grey that was bred for speed he had an attitude, but only to people he didn't trust and he likes to nibble but I'm breaking him of the habit. Avalon Kelton’s horse on the other hand was a mare and was very gentle she was a dressage horse.
Soon we had them ready and once we had everything tied down we were of down the mountain path. "Hayley, who's going to take care of the horses while you are gone?" Kelton asked "The two barn hands I hired remember." "Oh, yeah." After that we carried on at a trot for about two hours when we stopped for a rest "Hey do you want an apple, Kelton?" "Sure"
After that we carried on for another hour before a little brown speck appeared before us on the path we kept going until we saw what it was. It was a baby grizzly bear.
"Aww it's so cute" Kelton said my eyes widened "Oh, crap" I said "What's the matter Hayley." she questioned I took a deep breath staring at the small cup "Where there are baby bears there are momma bears." I said my hands shaking the horses were beginning to fidget. Kelton's eyes widened "H Hay Hayley" she stuttered I heard something behind me. I looked it was a huge grizzly bear and it was pissed. "Shit, Run for it!" I screamed and nudged knight He didn't need any encouragement he took off, I could hear kelton behind me. "Is she following us?" I screamed "YES!” was the reply I looked behind me less than three feet behind her the bear was still following. When I turned around I wasn't prepared for what I saw , there was a huge, tree in the middle of the path and Knight had never jumped anything I closed my eyes and held on, I could feel my feet slipping, my but rising from the saddle falling . A scream. Was it mine? Then blackness.
