HeartLand: Ty's Past.

Chapter 8.

Ty groaned, as he moved slightly in his sleep. He suddenly jolted awake, at the sound of some neighing and bangs. He looked towards his window, as he slowly walked over to it, poking his head out, only to find, Storm kicking like crazy at the fence.

Ty sighed, and pulled on his shoes, and walked outside with his jeans, and blue t-shirt on. He slowly walked outside, but quitely as well. As soon as Storm set his eyes on him, he neighed softly.

"Shh, shh. It's okay Buddy just quite down... please?" Ty asked nicely, as he sighed and jumped into the Paddock, storking Storm, who nuzzled his cheek.

Amy yawned, as she walked outside onto the Porch, where her Grandpa stood. She followed his gaze, finding Storm lying down, with Ty leaning on her, fast asleep. Storm's head lay in his lap.

"How long has he been like this?" Amy asked.

"I found him like this, when I woke up. Heard alot of commotion from Storm last night, then it stopped." Jack said, "Think we found the answer."

"Yep. I think, I should wake him." Amy said, stepping towards the Paddock, where Storm suddenly jumped up, knocking Ty backwards, as he groaned he rubbed the back of his head, "Ty!"

Storm neighed loudly and reared up, as Ty just backed up. Storm's eyes softened, as he kept his 4 hooves on the ground, bowing his head to nuzzle Ty's neck. Ty just sighed.

"I'm okay, Bud." Ty whispered, while grabbing an apple out of his pocket and chucking it into the air, as Storm caught it. Ty stood up, brushing his clothes off, before yawning, "Uh, sorry. Must of fell asleep."

"No, it's alright." Amy said, leaning on the fence, "He sure is a beauty."

"Yup. Sure is." Ty said, patting said horses neck, who snorted, "Thanks for that."

"Hey, why don't you try riding him?" Amy asked.

"I'm-I'm okay." Ty said, but Storm seemed upset for the answer, as he stomped his hoof on the floor and neighed loudly, "Storm."

All of a sudden a car pulls up, but Ty pays no attention, petting Storm.

"I see you have made progress." Ty brought his head up, as did Storm. Ty quickly turned, to see Mr. Riley stood there, beside Amy who just looked confused.

"Mr. Riley, hey." Ty said, as Amy just backed away to stand on the Porch beside her Grandpa, "Uhm, yeah. I think he's growing on me again..."

"Make that sound like such a bad thing." Clint said, as Storm nuzzled Ty's back.

"Well... I just don't want... you know. I feel like I'm gonna loose him again!" Ty whispered, resting a hand onto his back.

"I highly doubt you will, Ty. But, why don't you ride him once again." Clint said, as Ty sighed.

"I can't, Mr. Riley. But, uhm, thank you for those pictures you sent in the mail." Ty said, as Storm moved away to neigh loudly while looking out to the field, where another horse stood, looking at him, as another horse came by the two running off.

"I know Bud." Ty mumbled, "No fun being all cooped up."

"I've gotta get going, Ty. Got another Client. I'll speak to you later." Clint said, before leaving. Ty sighed, and smirked while looking at the gate.

"This will probally be dumb, but what do you think about going onto the field?" Ty asked, as Storm neighed looking at Ty, who only smiled.

"Hey Ty." Amy shouted, walking on over with Lou.

"Uh, hey Amy." Ty said, turning to look at her, "Do you think its okay if I take Storm into the field?"

"Why?" Lou asked.
