Re: Diablo, Competition with the Enemy. (About a rescued horse)

[Spritz]

I stop and open the car door. "Go." I say, pointing down the street. I sit huddled in the backseat, my arms wrapped protectivley around my slightly protuding abdomen. I watch people walk down the street, smiling and talking. How could they be so, so happy?

[Guest]

Anna sighed and returned home, pulling into the driveway. She got out of the car and walked into the house, "I'm assuming you're going to go see that horse of yours." Anna grumbled. "I'll be inside doing work. Don't bother me, please." Anna walked into the house and up the stairs and into her room.

[Spritz]

I dont answer, but then run into the barn, eyes filled with tears I needed to shed, holding the only thing that was worthwile. I stop though, as I dont hear the familar nicker, I dont see the black and white hide of my horse. I dont see his loving eyes. I gasp, seeing the stall broken open, and diablo, gone, along with his tack and supplies. I fall on the floor, crying, then get up as I see a note. Come Find Us. I rip the note off of its nail,and rush up to the house. So she didnt want me to bother her, did she? Well I wouldnt. I grab a duffel bag out of my closet, and start shoving necesities into it.

Kyle-
I grab a leadrope and open the door of the trailer, roughly clipping it to Diablos halter. "Get on you brute!" I say, using the end of the line to slap his rump.

[Guest]

I snorted and bucked wildly, breaking into a gallop when I felt the leadrope on my rump, hopefully managing to drag Kyle along behind me. I neighed loudly and reared, ears pinned at the whites of my eyes showing, my mane and tail billowing in an agrivated frenzy.

[Spritz]

"Cut it out!" I say, and let the leadrope go as I bring him into a small paddock, surrounded by electric fencing. I grumble, and stomp into the trailer, taking out the stolen saddle and bridle.

Allie-
Once I had finished packing, I waited on my bed,watching the clock. It was about 8:30, and I was planning on leaving that night. About 4 hours later, after eating dinner, the sky was dark and my mother was in bed. I sneak downstairs, and open the fridge, raiding the shelves of anything edible. I pack apples into the bag, along with cheese and meat, taking all of our bottled water. I then open the cubbord, and take everything that was light, crackers, chips, bread. a jar of mayo.

[Guest]

I snorted angrily in Kyle's face and trampled on his foot before being placed in the paddock. I galloped frantically around the pasture and bucked, neighing and thrashing around like a bronco. I wasn't going to let him touch me again or I'd bite his nose off. I felt rather pathetic at my threat.

[Spritz]

I slip out the door, unoticed. I then follow the tracks of the truck, all the while rehersing what I would do to Kyle.

A few days later

I trude along the road, lost, dirty, and tired. My duffel bag had started out heavy, but was now light, all the food gone. I held the last bottle of water in my hand, contemplating drinking the whole thing, or a bit at a time. I was miles away from home, as I had hitched a few rides with random people. I then squint as I see a small mobile home deep within the woods, its ac running noisily.

[Guest]

It had been a few days and I snorted as the grass was beginning to wear thin in my small enclosure. I was thirsty and was constantly looking for any source of water. I bucked and watched Kyle sit in his mobile home, cool and refreshed, while I sat out in the heat of the day and underwent the cool nights, wondering why I wasn't sick yet. I eventually learned to just sit down and shut up, knowing Kyle wasn't going to help me.

[Spritz]

I stumbled closer. I had been following the clear dirt tracks, but had lost them a while back. I smelt fresh bacon frying on the stove, and then I turn to see a pinto horse, standing forlornly in his paddock. I walk closer, my eyes widening in surprise.

[Guest]

I snorted and lifted my head as a familair scent wafted up my nostrils. I looked up to see a haunched figure with a slightly rounded stomach knew immediately it was my girl. I stomped my hoof and neighed loudly, cantering over to the fence only to be shocked by the fence, when I let out another loud neigh. I paced around the paddock anxiously.

[Spritz]

Almost as in a trance, I slip under the fence,ignoring the shock. I then run up to Diablo, and throw my arms around his dirty neck, crying because I was so happy. Then I heard the door of the trailer open, and out walked Kyle, a smirk on his face. "Found us, did you?" He asks, then pointedly stares at my rounded stomach. His grin grew wider as he comprehended what he had done. I felt like slapping him, but hid behind Diablo, knowing I was safe with him.

[Guest]

I stumble back slightly as she throws her arms around my neck. I watched Kyle come out, smiling, and suddenly I realize that maybe he wanted Allie to come find me. Suddenly I felt guilty that I put Allie in harm's way. I snorted angrily at Kyle and pinned my ears, just daring him to come closer.

[ sorry it took so long i realized something and i had to take care of it O___O couldn't wait ]

[Spritz]

He steps closer, nearer to me. "Why dont you come in for some breakfast, no?" He asks, looking at my water bottle. "Really? Thats all you have left? Its a good thing, that you found me." I noticed he said Me not us. I dont make a move, though the delecious smells make my stomach growl. Very loudly. He chuckled, then lunged for me, grabbing my wrist and pulling me into the trailer.

[Guest]

I heard Allie's stomach growl and turned my head momentarily, only to find Kyle grab Allie and I reared angrily, galloping to the edge of the paddock. I neighed shrilly, although it was more like a scream, and rammed myself against the fence, only managing to get shocked each time, and I let out whinnies of pain each time, although I didn't stop trying to reach Allie. I bucked at the fence and tried everything, only managing to get myself shaken up and hurting.

[Spritz]

I fight against him,like a wild animal. He pulls me into the trailer, then locks the door behind us, me not noticing. The bacon sizzled on the stove, sending up a heavinly smell. I press myself against the small window and cry out to Diablo, telling him to stop. He was hurting himself. "Sit down, are you hungry?" I hear Kyle's voice next to my ear, his breath on the back of my neck. I could tell he wanted more from me than just to sit and eat, but I figured I would eat first, then hear him out. I sit down, and in a few minutes, the food was gone, in my stomach. While I ate, Kyle just sat there, smirking at me.

[Guest]

My ears perked as I heard Allie's cry and looked into a small window that was on the trailer. Relieved that I could still catch a glimpse of Allie, I whinnied. But soon afterwards disappeared, and I began to around in circles, worried about what Kyle was going to do to her. I neighed loudly and continued to walk in circles, eventually wearing the ground down underneath me.

[Spritz]

I stand up abruptly, and try to open the door. The lock rattled, but didnt open. I cried out in alarm, and turn to him. He had quickly moved across the room, and was standing behind, looking down at me. I bunp into his broad chest, and he picks me up by the shoulders, heaving me against the wall. I began to feel dizzy as I feel a sharp pain in my arm. I see him cap a siringe, and scowl at me, though evil humor played about in his eyes. I cry out, and kick him. He drops, and I fall to the floor, stumbling over to the window and trying to open it to escape.

[Guest]

I snorted and reared up, landing on the fence. The shock was nearly unbearable, considering I had been shocked so many times already. Suddenly, I tried to jump the fence. I backed up and ran, nearly clearing the fence, although it grazed my stomach and I cringed, faltering in the jump, and my bag legs caught, dragging me uselessly over the jump, and I neighed loudly, falling on the ground and not able to get up.

[Spritz]

I manage to fumble open the window, before trying to slide out, and groaning when my stomach presses hard against the frame. Kyle grabs my legs and pulls me back inside, and I fall on the floor, gasping. I struggle, but he again picks me up and shoves my against the wall, his fist ready to punch my stomach. "No!" I gasp, and he scowles. "I wont hurt it if you do what I say!" He spits out, fist ready to strike.

[Guest]

My eyes widen as I see Allie about to escape through a window, then whinnied when I saw her be dragged back in. I tried to get to my feet but my back legs seemed shocked numb. I could feel where skin had been scraped off from my jump and raw flesh was exposed, already flies nipping at it, and the shock had only made it worse, rendering them almost useless. I neighed loudly and hoped Allie would escape.

[Spritz]

His lips press hard against mine, but I dont fight it, afraid of what he might do to the baby. His hand slides up my shirt, then I punch him hard in the jaw, and drop to the floor, then quickly slide out the window, and with a grunt, land on the ground. I crawl towards Diablo, and hop onto his back, about to pass out from the shot.

[Guest]

I snorted and listened to Allie as I felt her on my back, but I was unable to get up -- unable to save her. I whinnied and tried to tell her to run as fast and as far as she could, for as long as she could. She needed to get away from here -- and that's all I cared about. To hell if I died, Allie was carrying a baby. I snorted and pawed the air uselessly, trying to get her to run.

[Spritz]

I then realize what I had done, and pull Diablo up, trying to help him get to his feet. Then Kyle storms out of the trailer, a gash in his face bleeding, and before I knew it, I was face down on the ground, as a fist had hit me hard in the jaw. He then proceeds to pin me down, this time no humor anywhere on his face. I didnt know what he wanted, since he had already gotten what he had wanted twice. My shoulder pops as he twists my arms back, and then I pass out. I woke up to find myself in his trailer, gagged and tied up next to diablo.

[Guest]

I neighed loudly when I saw what Kyle was doing to Allie, and frantically tried to get to my feet, but only succeeding in falling down again. Why couldn't he just leave her alone?! Why couldn't he just end my life instead of forcing hers into a trail of endless suffering?! I whinnied and managed to kick him in the back of his heel, but only managed to watch Allie pass out.

When she awoke, we were tied in the back of the trailer, and Kyle had positioned me uncomfortably, the gashes on my legs still open and beginning to fester slightly, and the smell made me crinkle my nose in disgust. I neighed loudly, hoping to annoy Kyle.

[Spritz]

Kyle slammed on the brakes, making both of us go flying into the front of the trailer. I was crushed under Diablo and cried out in pain, but he kept driving.My wrists were rubbed raw by the ropes, and I needed to throw up. I didnt know how long I had been under, but by looking at my watch, it said it was tuesday. That was about 2 days after! I gasped and tried to get out from under Diablo.
