She shook her head, [I believe you stupid] she put her phone down to stretch.

[ Good, good ]

He'd sigh then toss his phone on the wooden desk "Hey Essie, Do you have any hair pins i can use?" He'd shout but it took a few moments for her to awnser. " Check my dresser". He sighed and walked out of his dark room. He took a few turns down the hallway then into another room which was dark and seemed unused. He walked up to a white dresser with a flower design on the sides. He moved a few things before finding a hair pin. He looked in the oval mirror and pulled the front of his hair back.

She got up and ran out of her room. Her dad tried to stop her at the door but she slipped under him and got in her truck. She pulled into the barn, she walked toward the tack room and picked up a leather lead rope. she walked toward the mare pasture, her dads mare was grazing a few feet away from the gate.

He then turned away "Im going to feed the animals" He wasn't looking for a response but it was a little to quiet. He walked down the stairs he looked over in the living room. His sister layed there dazed as she watched the news. He sighed and walked out the door. He grabbed the empty bucket by the weaved chair. He therw it in the bed of the truck and hoped in. He slowly drove away to the small pasture that had the animals, the rocky road made him feel unsteady as it rocked his truck back and forth. Once he pulled up to the area a few chikens raced across the feil over to the older goat that stared at the empty chiken house. " Licorice your to old to fit in there" He'd sigh grabbing the bucket and pretended their was somthing in it.

She clipped on the lead and led the mare, which was named Minnie it the cross ties. She was going on a road ride because Minnie was able to handle it unlike To, she through on reflective clothes and placed a reflective saddle pad on her back. Hailey grabbed the yellow reflective polo wraps and bonnet, Minnie snorted as Hailey mounted with her reflective gear on too. They headed down the road.

The goat leaped away from the small house and ran up to the fence throwing its forelegs on the wooden fence. Elliot rolled his eyes and went into a barn like structure but alot smaller. He grabbed the goat feed pouring it the plastic bucket. He grabed a party cup and scooped some grain peltets, then grabbing a handful of animal crackers.

.

He opened the gate and went under the home-made shade area, grabbing a metal bowl. Hitting the bowl ageinst the fence for getting the stuff out of it. Once he finshed he tossed it on the ground then dumped the food in. Licorice immidietly ran over and began eating as if she had starved.

She picked up a trot on the side of the road, as this area of the road was very not used so she really only trotted here. Minnie snorted and looked around as they trotted, her hoof beats were loud in the calm area.

Elliot backed away from the goat and watched the chickens pop up at the bowl and peck at the food. He grabbed the chickens and walked over to their little house gently tossing them in and locking their door. Elliot went out the gate and into the barn like structure again but grabbing duck feed. He put it in th bed of his truck and and drove to the local pond not to far from his home. The area was almost like a park but no one really came here anymore, they made stories up to keep people away then they all just stopped coming and Elliot liked that. He hoped out of his truck and walked down to the pond. He noticed the pond hadn't frozen over yet and some of the ducks where still out swimming. He tossed some of the feed in then grabbed a book he had hid in a backpack under the dock. He layed ageinst the pole and began reading.

She patted Minnie's neck, Min snorted and she picked up a canter. She enjoyed the open air. Minnie snaked her neck forward and did a faster canter. Hailey let her ran a little faster.

He flipped though the pages slowly for it felt the world had stopped in t's pace and nothing was wrong. No more family problems, no Haze, no training, for once he didn't think about hs problems or worries. He dumped the rest of the feed intot the pond and land on his back watching the day turn into a fading dark blue mush.
