Race With the Wind

Chapter 24

Scooter's P.O.V

Sarah came home from her training session and she seemed to be in a good mood. She showed her cousin Luke the stud. She told him about every horse. She never missed a detail about us all. Luke patted and stroked all of us and gave us little bits of an apple. He seemed interested in horses. He asked about me. Sarah told him everything about me. From the start until now. She said that we are aiming for Crabbies Grand National. Luke winced at that. I guess he doesn't like the sound of that. ''That is the most dangerous race you will ever race in''. Luke said worryingly. ''I know that. Scooter is up for it... i know she is''. Sarah says while patting me. I guess she really does believe me. Luke looks at me kindly. He pats me.''I hope she is''. Luke says. After a while the two cousins said their fair wells. Sarah thanked Luke for everything and she gave him a hug. It looks like she is as strong as him. She squeezed him to death. She stood there as she stared at the black Audi driving out of the gates. She moved when she couldn't hear the Audi's anymore. She came into the stables and she gave us all hay. She came into my stable and she sat in the corner of my stable. She stared at me as I chewed on my mouthful of hay. ''Thanks, Scooter. For everything. I wouldn't have been able to face seeing my cousin and friends today if it weren't for you''. She says quietly. I snort telling her that I'm listening and glad that I'm here with her too. She smiles and chuckles. I ignore my hay and I walk over to her and I use my muzzle to play with her hair. I like being playful when Sarah is with me. Sarah looks up and her nose rubs off of my soft velvety muzzle. Sarah closes her eyes and she takes a deep breath and she exhales slowly. The warm air hits my muzzle and I do the same back. I lie down beside Sarah. She sits with her legs crossed and I place my head in between her spread out hands. She strokes me and I close my eyes. I let the tiredness over take me.

I wake up in the middle of the night. I see Sarah still in my stable. I shuffle over to her and she snuggles up against me still in a deep sleep. I guess she's happy here. In a stable. With an animal twice the size of her. I sense the calmness in her. I close my eyes. I let the sleep over take me again. It feels good to have company in my stable.

I wake up to be hearing someone walk into the stable aisle. I feel drowsy. Once my mind clears, I see Leona standing outside of my stable laughing quietly. I guess she never seen this before. A girl snuggled up in a deep sleep with her horse. Leona opens the door quietly with a smirk on her face. She takes her phone out. A few seconds later she has an alarm ringing. Sarah wakes up. ''No! I don't want to go to school!''. Sarah says sleepily. ''Give me another minute''. She adds. Leona laughs quietly and she walks out of the stable, Sarah still asleep. This girl sleeps like a rock. Leona comes back with bucket. Crap! I get up carefully. Making sure Sarah doesn't wake up. ''Hey Sarah! Merry Christmas''. Leona throws the cold water all over Sarah. Sarah gets up gasping for her breath. ''You graduated you dope!''. Leona says between her laughing fit. Leona falls to ground. Sarah then realises that she is in my stable. She stares at Leona. She sits disappointed and soaked to the skin. Leona still on the ground laughing her head off. Sarah looks at me. I don't know what to say about this. I see a smile appear on Sarah's face. Sarah starts to laugh. She then falls back down and laughs on the ground. Leona still laughing historically. The two girls get up after their laughing fit and stare at each other. ''Leona. I do hate you a lot but, I guess I just can't live without you!''. Sarah says laughing. Water dripping from her blonde hair. Her blue eyes bright and shining. ''I can say the same thing Sarah''. Leona says laughing too. Sarah smiles at Leona. Sarah gives her a good box on her shoulder. Leona boxes her back. ''Why were you sleeping in Scooter's stable?''. Leona asks. ''I just got carried away''. Sarah says. ''Will you and I ever mature?''. Sarah asks after a moment of silence. Leona just gives her that 'what do you think' look. ''Nope!''. Sarah answers. The two girls burst into another fit of laughter. ''Lets feed the horses and do some dressage''. Leona says after calming down. ''What time is it?''. Sarah asks. ''Ten''. Leona chuckles. ''Crap! The horses are probably starving!''. Sarah panics. The two girls poured boiling water over the beetpulp. They let the beetpulp expand and they added barley, porridge oats, apples and carrots. All of is were kicking the doors of our stables, starving. We smell the sweet beetpulp. We neigh for food. The two girls feed us before we all bust our doors down. I tuck into my feed. The sweet beetpulp is tasty. The oats and barley add a nice flavour. The carrots and apples give a taste and crunch. The warm food runs down my neck and fills my empty stomach up. Mmmm. Sarah and Leona lead us all out to the field. We will graze for an hour before I'm taken in to be ridden. I graze with Glic and Sam. I look up and I see Cara giving me a cold stare. I gulped. This mare wants me dead!
