coming back to you

2- christmas

In the morning I went to the stables all by myself and I was surprised by the good conditions the stables were in. I feed all of the horses. I didn't have to give them water because of the water system in the stables. It was like great-grandpa Nickolas just renewed it

I went to the tack room. Just to have a look at it, it looked amazing. Everything was tidyed up and in it's place. There was every tack tagged with the name of horse that it belonged too. I went to look at the indoor arena as well, knowing that I'm going to spend a lot of my time in there training for upcoming season

After I finished looking around the stables I tacked up Kronos and I rode off to grandpa Frank. As I came to his door, there was a note 'at bright fields, come there'. I smiled and rode off to bright fields.

As I came to bright fields everyone was surprised to see me. Some in a good way and some in not so good way. I rear kronos  on his hind legs and I jump of as soon as he gets his front legs back on the ground

"Hey guys" I said as I got off my horse

"Hey Ana" pin and Marcus said

"Who's this?" zoe asked

"Your adopted cousin's oldest daughter. You are same as your dad you know that" grandpa frank explained to zoe

"Oh, nice to meet you" Zoe said

"Nice to meet you too" I said to Zoe as she looked at my saddle pad

"Team united kingdom" zoe read out loud

"Yeah, under 18s team, i don't have any other saddle pad that fits that saddle" I told her

"Wow" everyone around the table said with wide eyes and zoe sits me next to her. She puts a plate in front of me and puts on lots of food.

"Hey stop, i'm not able to eat that much" I said smiling and Zoe stopped putting food on the plate in front of me.

"So ana, how were the competitions in under 18s?" Jade asked me

"I mean, it was okay. Thebseason just ended" I said and grandpa frank started

"Yeah, if okay means 'i am under 18s world champion' than yes it's just okay" grandpa frank said and everyone looked at me with wide eyes again.

"You didn't mention that" gaby said

"I'm not trying to brag about it. Actualy i didn't want anyone to even know. Tut i am 2 times world under 18s champion" I say as I look at gaby and grandpa frank. My phone rings. I look at it, it's my dad calling
"Excuse me for a moment, i need to take this" I say and step away to answer my dad. My whole family came to the island and they want to know where I am. I told great-grandma where I am going but she probably didn't listen to me. I told him that I'm at bright fields for christmas lunch party. Than I go back to the table

"Mr. Gobbles, come back!" Pin said as he ran behind a turkey when Mia came with her dad

"Hey Mia, merry christmas" I said to Mia

"Is that Ana, Ana Toman, the under 18s world champion?" Mia asked and I just smiled akwardly

"Yeah she is" zoe said all happy and put arm around my shoulders

"I just wanted to say that i'm sorry to all of you, but especially you, Gaby. I got carried away trying to impres my dad" mia said probably about her ball yesterday

"Well... an apology is not enough" gaby starts and mia starts walking off "i will require at least six renditions of 'the 12 neighs of christmas'" gaby adds and we all smile

"Hit it, Winnie" backy said to small girl who hit a play button and the song started playing. And we all started singing. After few minutes of us singing all my family came here. Of course my dad couldn't come like a normal human being and had to make a show. He came with his horse pulling him on skis

"Hey dad" is say as I hug him

"Hey sweaty, heard you won" dad said

"Yeah" I told him a little bit quieter

"That's my girl" my dad said as he put off his skis and sat down at the table. Mia came to me and pulls me away from the table

"How old is your dad? he looks young and i mean really young" mia asked me

"He's 29" I told her

"What?!" She asked

"He had me at 13" I explained it to mia and than I went to sit next to my dad and grandpa Simon. After a while we went home.

When we got home I went to the stables first, just to train a little bit. I put up poles and started my training. After I finished my dad decided to train as well, so i left the poles like i put them. I went beck to the house. I open the door to my room and I see lots of boxes. I start unpacking my stuff and than mum came into my room

"Hey, do you have a minute?" Mum asked

"Yeah, i can always take some time for you" I said to mum but she looked at me funny

"You know, lately you don't have much time for any of us. Constant trainings and competitions all around the world. You should have fun, i know i was like momma bear for all 4 of you in Netherlands but here i know you are safe whatever you are doing" mum explained to me and huged me

"Yeah, that's kind of true. The island is small and everyone knows everyone" I say to my mum

"But include your sisters to your fun" mum orders

"Okay, i will" I told her

"Thank you Ana, you know, you remind me of your dad all the time" mum said and I smiled to her

"Really? You aren't the first person telling me this today" I tell her as soon I finished unpacking

"Yeah, you have same attitude, you two talk in a same way, you two even walk same. You are both show off kind of people" mom said to me and I smiled again and than mom left the room and Dea came in

"Congrats on being world champion" dea said to me

"Please, don't call me that" I told Dea and she smiled and sat next to me

"But you are" dea said to me

"Please don't" I said to dea

After a talk with dea I take my book and  read it until I fell asleep in a small bed of mine
