558 STORY FROM THE PAST

Hope followed behind the Centaur, leaving the barn behind them as they walked under the moonlight. The sound of Chiron's hooves against the grass, somehowsoothed the girl's nerves. 

She walked slightly behind, so she could stare at him without being noticed, at least that was what she thought. If she could have her phone with her, she would take one or two photos secretly for her personal documentation.

After all, who would believe this honestly? Even if she showed it to someone else in her world. No one would believe the centaur that walked beside her was a real deal, an actual living, breathing creature. 

Both of them fell into a deep silence, but this was a comfortable silence that Hope enjoyed. She didn't talk because Chiron said he would tell her a story about the stars and, as childish as it sounded, Hope was looking forward to it.
