<p> The next morning I awoke with a headache and tear streaks running down my face. There was sunlight streaming in through the curtains, turning the room blue. There was a knock on the door and then it opened, admitting Cassie into the room. She held a plate of toast and sausage as well as a glass of orange juice. She put it down on the table beside me and sat down.

<p> "I thought you would like something to eat. It's not much, but it should hold you over till lunch. Would you like to meet my family, Sydney? They know your here, by the way. They would love to meet you." She tried to be friendly.

<p> I nodded slowly. I took a piece of toast and ate it quickly. I hadn't realized how hungry I was till that first bite. I scarfed down the food in front of me and smiled contentedly.

<P> "We should get you some different clothes first though.... I think my clothes would fit, although they might be a little big... I'll be right back." She left the room quickly, probably thinking of what to put on me. I looked at the room for the first time since I had gotten there. It had yellow walls and blue curtains that gave it a kind air and the walls were covered in pictures of horses. The bed was a queen on a frame that could have come right out of a western. The sheets were yellow and had a blue rose comforter that was rumpled from me sleeping on it. I fixed the bed and then looked at the horse pictures more closely. They were gorgeous.

<p>This was how Cassie found me, staring at a picture of a apaloosa. She put the clothes on the bed and smiled at me. "That's Apple. She was my mother's horse."

<p>"She's gorgeous. Are those for me?" I looked at the clothes. It was a simple pair of well worn jeans and a large t-shirt, but to me, they were a godsend.

<p>She noded and I took them, heading out of the room. I looked at the five doors in the hall and turned back around, blushing. "Where is the bathroom?"

<p>She laughed at came out, pointing to the room across from us. "Right there. Take as much time as you need. I'll be downstairs doing chores. Oh, and you can use anything. Well, accept the toothbrush... There's a clean new one in the last drawer to the right." She smiled and went down the stairs.

<p> I took a shower and brushed my teeth before getting dressed, brushing my long blonde hair after everything else was done. Not wanting to hog the bathroom, I left, heading towards the stairs to the lower level of the house. Would these people turn out like my dad? Or worse.... would they be killers that lure people to their home and gain their trust before killing them? I was about to run upstairs and lock myself in the room I had been given when Cassie saw her and smiled, getting up to lead her to the table where a lot of food had been put.

<p>"Morning Sydney. Would you like to join us?" A woman waved me over to a seat by her. The table was full of people, five others to be exact. I walked slowly over. Hopefully they wouldn't do anything in a large group... But larger groups make it easier to attack. I turned and ran, not wanting to chance it.

<p> Cassie saw me run and looked apologetically to her family. She ran after me.

<p>I went outside to the horses, who I knew wouldn't hurt me on purpose. They walked over and nuzzed my hand, which was covered in sugar from my breakfast. One, a black stalion with a white star, refused to come near me though. I stared at it longingly, but it ignored me still. The other horses saw where my attention was and just went away.

<p>Cassie walked up to her and followed her gaze. "He is the only one we can't seem to get near. His name is Raven." That was when I made a goal. I'd get near Raven.</center>
