Raylah couldn't answer as she struggled to try and believe. Having the breath knocked out of you was a terrifying feeling. She felt a large, velvety horse nose sniffing and nudging her.

Raylah grabbed Cal's arm, trying to draw his attention back to her. I am all right, she tried to say. Her mouth formed the words but as her breath hadn't come back yet, there was no sound. She closed her eyes, concentrating on relaxing and not panicking. With a gasp, she finally pulled in a breath.
