Chapter 18

Zephyr pov

"concentrate on your breathing, sidekick will take care of the rest" I yelled at her, she needs to listen and learn quickly it will help her amongst other things.

"I am!" She yelled back at me in defiance, I swore under my breath. Stubborn git.

I silently watched her as she continued to go round the makeshift course that me and aqua put together in one of the paddocks a couple of hours back. Unfortunately for me she was the only one who was free to help but then again she's always been too eager to help the male workers if ever they needed it. But her type of help would be trying to help them get undressed. Whereas blue still isn't concentrating on her breathing!

"blue! I shouted bluntly she knee instantly what it meant and I could physically see her breathing again, I smiled to myself thinking that she may jus get over one of her problems.

"ok..." She pulled on sidekicks reins bringing him down to a walk, I continued when I had her at attention "now think of it as a competition, same feeling and everything"

she hung her head "fine!" She pulled sidekick round and started him off again in trot, I walked over to one of the jumps and raised it about a foot, now is was aprox a 4ft jump. I turned to watch her going round now in canter, good steady rhythm and clearing all the other jumps nicely.

now it was time for the big one everything seemed to go in slow motion I burrowed my eyebrows whilst watching her... Something wasn't right... I could see each foot hitting the ground individually they were a stride out when he suddenly put his breaks on, both feet stopped inches from the jump and he turned a second after causing blue to fall off his side into the jump. Then everything went back to normal speed only with blue on the floor.

"people say that I always get the girls head over heels for me but never this way" I said to her with a humourous tone as I walked over to her but as I got closer things suddenly got more serious.
