I felt my eyes opening. I looked around at my surrondings. I couldn't see anything. Except white... then I realised I was under Winfree's show rug. I pulled it off with all my force. Which I didn't have much of! Then I got to my feet and looked at the disaster area all around me. Lizzy was on the floor, she was hit by a brick to the head. I ran over and moved the brick away as Lizzy gradually came to her senses. Then I brought her into the tack room without its roof and a wall and laid the show rug over her. Star lay sound asleep, having been hit with a bit of roof. Suddenly a ray of light burst through the grey cloud. The wind blew south and the clouds disappeared until the sky was blue and the wind gently died down to a cool breeze. I ran down to the beach and stood staring out. A motionless lump was floating on the surface of the crystal blue ocean. 'Oh god' I thought. It was Hawk. I took off my shoes and jumper and swam out. I grabbed Hawk's headcollar and towed him back to shore. Then I slid him onto the beach. I whacked him with all my might in the chest. Then I blew into his nose 5 times. Then I whacked him again. I blew into his nose over and over. All of a sudden, water shot out of his nostrils as he jerked uporight and climbed to his feet. I was so shocked I laughed! Then I left him on the beach to recover, there was more to do. I climbed up the hill back to the tack room and through the broken wall, to the river. About a hundred yards down the way 4 big lumps lay panting on the shore, and the small lifeless lump of a goat. I felt my eyelids beginning to close. Everything's okay, I told myself, Everyone will be fine... and I collapsed to the ground.

the storm grew calm and i realized that it was finnaly over, nearly a day of the horrible torture and it died off, i looked out the rena door, amd saw what seemed like an endless sea of water, Alex and Star sooned joined me, sore but ok. i fell onto the ground crying for Hawk and in my frenzy somehow i got into the water and found myself struggling the current of the water, i felt Star grab my hand, pull me up and then i blanked out from my emotional break-down, it was just to much for me, i thought......

as i puled at lizzy i gasped. out in the water i saw the shape of a horse head plodding through the water to the arena. As the sun started to shine i saw it was ...Hawk!!!!! I grabbed at lizzy and pulled her to saftey as alex ran out to get hawk. The poor horse had many scratches and was soaked and shaking but he was ok. It didn't look like he was hurt too bad!

its hard to believe that just yesterday, u and i were racing alex and autumn, isnt it, sweety pie?, i said softly to Hawk, she nickered tiredly in responce. i began crying again, so thankful that my baby was with me again!! she lay down, and snorted, rolling onto her side. "thats it Hawk", i crooned "just rest", before i fell asleep by her soft, wet body, i saw someone coming closer, and completely fell asleep.....

u mean what is left of the driveway!!! their wheels made water spalsh everywhere, spooking stars horses, but she quickly calmed them down, i explained the situation, and made alex and star get in the truck to go to the nearest hospital, i made nicole go to, to make sure they were ok, and i stayed after. i gatered all the horses and made them go into the indoor arena, then i got the ladder that went to the hay loft and set off to find some tools, i got some boards we were going to use for the new addition of the foal barn, now that the areas under water, we wont be makin a new breeding barn for a while!!! i carried the boards u the ladder and set to work, nailing every bord in place, the light from the ceiling slowly decreasing and the horses settleing down for the night, i worked well into the night and began to wonder why thery were taking sooo long at the hospital. i eventually finished, and went into the barn, seeing the horses all cooped up in a dirty arena made my heart ach, soooo i led each horse to the beach, made a makeshift fence of a perimeter, and let the horses be free.... then i layed down, and relized that this was just the beginning of cleanup....
