The small door hit Elise in the forehead making her stagger backward. She barely manage to get a hold of herself before seeing the white horse domineeringly looking down on her. It was only now, she realize how different this horse was from Sjors and others.
Samuel had warned her not to approach strange animals because not all of them would be as friendly as what she saw in the Estate but she didn't care about it, naively thinking that she could make friends with any animals.
But now being so close to getting trampled, made her realize what fear was. Seeing the horse move, she covered her ears and balled herself. The horse didn't care about the little girl, he was more worried about the rushing staff that were there to subdue him.
In the heat of the moment, it jumped forward over Elise but right at that moment, Elise moved coming in direct contact with it's hind legs. The staff screamed but it seemed that damage was already done.
