Summary
It comes up on Tommy’s left, crashing through the underbrush as it takes out his horse by clawing at her legs. Ellie can’t even see it at first, just hears the branches snapping and the horrible staccato clickclickclickclick. Then she watches the chestnut mare—Ziggy—going down, and the shock on Tommy’s face as he scrambles for purchase. She’s reaching for him in an instant, yelling at him to grab her hand or her reins or her goddamn pant leg, no plan other than keep him out of biting distance. There are gunshots ringing out as the other two chaperones draw their pistols and come galloping back from where they’d been ahead on the trail. Over the ringing in her ears from the adrenaline and the shots and the terror that she’ll be too late, she thinks she hears them urging the kids to move forward, away from the action.
Fuck that, Ellie thinks.
Or, Ellie brings the ten essentials AND Tommy on her field trip but it all goes to hell anyways.
