I’ve never fully realized how boring it can be, being stuck in a stall all day and all night for almost three weeks straight. I’ve counted ever line in the wood on ever plank, ten times each……shoot me.

My only entertainment is to listen to the boys argue over what they’re going to name me. The names have ranged from Helga, J.W. got a sharp nip from me for that one, to Ruby. I’m a black horse people…..do I look freaking red to you?!?!

No I didn’t think so. But Lucus decided to end the argument by deciding that my name would be Tara. Creepy right? Because my real name is Tara! At first I was freaking out that maybe he had figured it out but he proved me wrong.

**the argument**

“Come on guys! The names perfect!”

“Dude does she look like a Blonde to you? She’s black! Do you know how retarded we would all look if we had a black horse named Blonde?” Jace asked glaring at his twin. I personally thought it would be funny but I guess Jace disagreed.

“How about Helga!” J.W. yelled jumping up on his feet from where he was perched on a barrel. I pinned me ears and reached forward to nip him.

“What! It’s a good name!” he said turning to give me a look. Retard, doesn’t he know most horses can’t understand humans?

He stuck his tongue out at me when I snorted at him. Yea he’s a retard.

“Well I’ve always liked the name Ruby?” Logan said looking around at his brothers. Out of all the brothers so far he’s my favorite. He’s not as loud. He’s more reserved and quiet, less annoying.

“Dude that’s almost as stupid as Blonde.” J.W. said giving him a look. See they all had this look, that was a mix between, you’re a idiot/am I really related to you/I’m making fun of you, look. It’s really cool and I wish I could do it. But sadly since I’m still stuck in my horse form I can’t.

“How about Tara.” Lucus said looking up. He was leaning against the stall across from mine.

“But that’s the humans name!” Jace said grumpily. Jacob wacked on the back of the head.

“Don’t let George hear you call her that. You know how he doesn’t like that.”

“Well it’s not my fault they got stuck with a human as an adopted child. What the hell possessed them to get one anyways?”

“Kathy can’t have kids of her own idiot.”

“Oh…..well…..couldn’t they have gotten a cat or something instead? I mean it’s no fun always having to hide our strength and stuff when she’s around.”

“Well Kathy wanted a kid and George will do anything to make him happy. Just wait till you find your mate like Matt did then you’ll be wrapped around her little finger to.”

“No way in hell man. I am not rolling over for any chick.” Jacob said in a cocky voice. He’s my least favorite brother.

“Well I don’t care who the hell wears the pants in ya’ll relationship. Do you guys like the name or not?” Lucus asked glaring at Jace.

“I like it but can I ask why? Do you think she’s dead or something?” Logan asked?

“No I’m sure she’s still alive. She’s strong for a human.” I didn’t like the way he said human then looked at me. He didn’t know did he? Does he suspect then? It’s times like this that I really wish I could read minds. It would be so helpful.

“Well I’m all for the name. What about you guys?” Logan asked looking around at the rest of the boys.

“Sure why not.” Jacob said, Jace and J.W. nodded their agreement.
