A HORSE FOR ANGEL. Sarah Lean

trying to make me not say what she’d done. I backed away as she stalked towards me.

      “Angel, now don’t take on so,” Rita snapped again.

      But she wasn’t listening.

      “You tell anyone else you saw me,” Angel whispered through her teeth as she ran past me, “and you’ll never get it back.”

       DIDN’T DARE TELL ANYONE ABOUT ANGEL, NOT yet. Not now there was a chance of getting the carousel back. But why didn’t she want me to say I’d seen her? I remembered Gem had said she’d stolen ninety-nine horses. Was it something to do with that? I hadn’t even been in the countryside a whole day and already I’d decided I never, ever wanted to come again. But, while I was there, I was going to get that carousel back and I was going to build it.
