A World Behind Walls (Tokio Hotel Story)

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

    The next night I woke up to finde myself lying on top of Don, with his arms around me. My head was laid against his chest. I could feel his breathing with every rise and fall of his chest. I stayed wear I was, I didn’t want to get up, but unfortunately I had to get up. I wanted to go to the stables, and ride one of the hourses that Don had. I slowly got up from him and went to the shower, when I was done I went to the stables.

    The atables was a place that I loved when I was human, the horse that I have now is the horse that was only 1 month old when I was human, Victor went to get it for me later on. I opend the stall and saw Midnight, he was a beautiful black stalion that always took my breath away. He reminded me of Black Beauty. He had that little white spot on the top of his head.

    “Hey Midnight. How are you today?” he only twitched his ears at me and stomped his foot as if saying ’how do you think? I haven’t see you in what? Forever.’ he moved his head closer to me and touched his head to mine. Then he pulld my hair.

    “Oh you little devil, now look you messed up my hair.” he through his head back and I could have sworn he was laughing as his head moved up and down. 

    I unlocked his cell and picked up his favorit brush and starded brushing him off. And everyonce in a while he would move his head so that he would push me.  It looks like one of the slaves cut his hair because it was a lot longer than last time.

    When I was finished I got out the harness, and rains. I put everything on Midnight and pulled him along outside. His eyes blinked in the sunlight and he moved quicker happy to finally get out of that stable. I climbed up on top of him and gently kicked his sides. He started to gallop. We both road out onto a path that I have made a while before. And soon we were surrounded by the woods.

    It had to be an hour later when we came across a river. I got off Midnight and brought her to the edge. His head bent down and he stuck his nose in the water. I took off my shoes and waddled into the water.  I was just wiping water on my back and I heard a squirting noise and then water was all over my back. I turned around to see Midnight with his lips pulled back, his head was bobbing up and down, and was jumping in the water.

    “Oh that’s it, your gonna get it now.” I scooped up water in my hands and threw it at him. He only jumped more. I walked up to him and held his huge head in my hands rubbing up and down on his nose. His lips tickled my hands, he did this when he was hungry.

    “Oh okay, your hungry you big lug. Let’s go back home. You no what lets race back home.” I took the rains and harness off him and put them over my shoulder.

    “Let’s go!” we both took off. Midnight loved doing this, the way we both never could beat the other. Midnight was my best animal friend. As the stable came into view Midnight sped up leaving me in the dust. It was just like him to cheat like that. He was waiting for me at the door to the stable.

    “Okay you little cheat, you win this time. But the next your butt is mine.” his head moved up in down in quick motions. I put him back in his stall and made sure that he had enough food and water. And I made my way to the house. Don was waiting when I walked into our room, he was sitting up on the bed with a sheet around his waist.

    “Wear were you?” his voice scared me, there was no happiness, nor was there love. It was all accusing.

    “I was riding Midnight, I needed to get out for a while. The night is so beautiful tonight.” I smiled at him.

    “Okay.” he got up off the bed with the sheet still wrapped around his waist, and came over to me.  He didn’t stop until he had me pinned to the wall. Both his hands were on either sides of my head. His face came closer to mine, his eyes studying me.

    “Did you have fun?” he asked backing up his face.

    “Yes, I missed Midnight so much. He’s such a sweet horse, you should meet him.”

    “Lori, hun, he’s a horse not a human or a vampire. A horse.” he held my face in his hands talking to me like I was a child.

    “For your information, Midnight is my best animal friend and if you don’t like that then leave me alone.” I pushed his hands off me and tried to walk around him. But he grabbed my arm in him huge fist.

    “Now you look here, you are my wife, I am the male, I am the boss, you belong on my arm under my control, you got that?” I didn’t say anything.

    “I said do you got that?” his hand tightened against my arm.

    “Don your hurting my arm. Please let me go.” I told him in a better voice than before. He let go almost immediately.

    “Oh my god Lori I’m so sorry, I didn’t think that I was holding you that hard. Oh my god, please forgive me.”

    “Hey Don, hun, it’s okay. I forgive you, you didn’t notice, it could have happened to anyone right? I forgive you.”

    Later that night, I was sitting in the stables again, laying down next to Midnight when I heard a twig snap. I sat up in an instant, waking up Midnight in the process but he quickly fell back asleep.

    “Lori, Lori are you there?” it was Andy.

    “Andy? Is that you?” I could smell him now, he was close enough, I saw his face peek out from around the corner of the doorway. He breathed a sigh of relief and came closer. He sat down next to me in the hay.

    “Whatcha’ doing out here at 11:00 at night? Shouldn’t you be with your husband?”

    “Yah, but we got into a fight, and I wanted to get away from there.”

    “I know I could here you guys. I just came out here because I knew that you would be near Midnight.” he put his arm around me and pulled me into a hug. 

    “I got a bad feeling Lori, something’s going to happen. And soon” Andy said. I knew what he meant, I have been having the same feelings for a while now.

Hey Tom,

If I saw everyone again right now, I know that I’d depend on them just as much as I did back then. I’m scared of that.
