Let's Go Camping!~a heartland fanfic ~ON HOLD/SLOW Snail-pace UPDATES~

Chapter 4: brake 'em out.

Amy's P.O.V
Tara, grandpa and I have been riding for about twenty minutes, when suddenly we hear the thundering of galloping hoofs approaching from behind, so of course my heart races. Is it one of the people who stole the horses? we turn to see Ty riding over. Oh, Thank god it's just him!
"Hey, the horse will be okay. Oh and I bought some torches!" Ty says and hands a torch to me and grandpa. Ty has a touch in his hand already. "Let's pick up the pace, it's getting dark." He says and we all nod.

We all brake into a canter, Tara can actually ride pretty well. I watch her and notice that she looks as if she's done this before. She stays perfectly balanced and seems to know what she's doing in the saddle. She must of got lessons or something.

I'm riding next to Ty, Tara is behind us and grandpa in front.
"Hey Ty," I begin, "who's got the kids?" I ask. I love our kids just as much as Ty, Mel is so cute, she loves her stuffed toy bay horse that Lisa got her, she named it Flake. and Kay is 'adorable' according to Malory, who visited last month.

"Oh, Lou and Lisa are, don't worry Ames!" Ty says and I nod. After about an hour, we are about to head back home when I spot something in the distance. "Wait guys. Look!" I say and point to it, it's a glowing light.  Everyone looks then looks to me. I look closer and see a horse drunk. They still look at me...Wow, it's usually grandpa who makes the call.
"Umm, Ty and grandpa, can you get a closer look?" I ask, fidgeting nervously. They agree and they ride off silently.

{}{}{}{}5 minutes later{}{}{}{}
Grandpa and Ty ride back, they tell us that it is fact our horses, they're inside a make shift pen.
"Okay, well we need a plan, I overheard a guy say that a truck is coming in ten minutes to pick them up." Ty starts, I nod.
"We need a distraction so we can free the horses." I say, everyone nods.
"Can I distract!" Tara bursts out eagerly. I nod at her.
"Okay, Ty you help with the distraction and when they are distracted....."

[][]TARA P.O.V[][]
We've just finished discussing the plan, Ty and I will distract. We both dismount and tie the horses to a tree branch. We both look at each other, then at Amy and Jack.

They both nod, that's our cue. We race down silently, skidding down a small bank and staying under the cover of tree's. I notice that there are three guys in front of the pen, their backs are facing us. I smirk and creep over to their truck, no one is in there so I go in, those idiots left the thing unlocked.

I quietly open the hood/bonnet and mess with a few things. then I grab the keys from the ignition and Ty nods to me, he is behind a bush.
"Hey, butt-heads!" I yell out, they turn to me.
"Oi! what are you doing?!" One yells. They don't know Ty is here.
I give them a bored look, "what does it look like?" I smirk. "I got your ke-eys," I sing and twirl them on my finger, chucking slightly.
"GIVE THEM BACK!" Another yells.
"Oh yeah sure of course!" I say sarcastically and walk up to them, I hold the keys up so they are arms away then shout, "SIKE!" And sprint away, laughing.
Gosh these guys are...how do I put this in the nicest way?.....stupid.
"oops, looks like you'll have to come and get them!" I say, hoping to draw them away from the pen. I climb up onto the hood/bonnet using the tyre,  then from there I go up to the roof. I stand up and they all start to run towards me. I smirk.
Perfect.

They stop when they are In front of the truck. "Just give turn back and you won't get hurt!" One yells. This gives Ty the opportunity to sneak behind them, I don't know what he's doing. I put my hand on my hip, smirking.
"Nope!" I smirk, just as one goes to speak, Ty grubs a hold of him and holds a knife to his neck.
Whoa. Damn. Didn't expect that....
"I gotta protect the kids!" Ty shrugs to me.
"If you don't want your friend here to die, you'll-" I'm cut of when they start to fight Ty, I start to head down to help but then notice that Ty has this covered. For now.
"Okay then, I'll leave you to it." I mumble to myself as I watch the fight, climbing down to see if I can help Amy.
He throws one off him and knocks another over the head, so one is unconscious. I turn I and see that Amy is at the gate, she slips in and slips a halter over Spartan, she leads him out and the rest start to follow. I close the gate after them quietly then look back to see how the fight is going, I'm thinking I'll need to help.
But instead, I see Ty wiping his slightly bloody hands on his jeans and three unconscious body's lay at his feet. I raise my eye brows at him questionably.

"What?" He says, flashing a grin, moving his gaze to me. Suddenly, I get a great idea. So I run back to there truck and grab a sticky note and pen, on it I write : 'Looser' and stick it to a guys forehead, for effect.
I high five Ty who laughs silently.
Amy rides over to us, now on Spartan bareback. She is leading our horses. "Thanks" I smile up at her as she gives me the lead to Fred. I notice that spook is amongst the now free horses. She must of had to let him go to catch Spartan as i don't think  we bought any extra halters.

"Okay, you guys get the horse's back, I'll handle the police." Jack says, coming behind the horses. We get on and trot over.
+++Time skip+++

TY'S P.O.V

"Ya!" Amy yell's at the horses. Once they are all in Georgie closes the gate.
"Alright, that's all of them" I say.
"Okay, I'll call Scott, see if he's back." Lou says, she came out to help, Jack is still at the 'scene', talking with police.

I start to study the horses, they look okay, a few have some scratches but they don't look to serious.

Lou comes out and says, "unfortunately Scott is still out of town. Ty I'm sure you can take a look though?" Lou says. I nod and quickly walk away to get my kit, just as jack comes back.

----------1 hour later--------
It's now 11, I've just finished helping to put the horses away, the worst injury was probably a cut on phoenix's neck, it's not too deep. I had to assure Georgie three times that "it's ok, nothing to serious" and "He will recover quickly, probably without a scar" twice.
I also noticed that Tara was very helpful, she helped Amy calm the horses down and when Georgie was a bit upset, they walked away and came back, laughing.

*tara's P.O.V: conversation with Georgie.*
I could see that Georogie was a bit upset that her horse was injured so I turned to her and said, "hey, do you wanna go and have a talk?" And she smiled at me and we walked into the barn.
"So........you're adopted too?" I start. She looks at me and nods.
"Yeah, I've been at heartland for over five years though. I've has Phoenix a long time too" she says.
I nod and say, "three homes ago, I used to have a horse that I could ride. The foster family gave him to me. His name was mint, and he was a tall chestnut gelding," I pause to laugh.
"I used to dye some of his mane green, for the mint effect......I would sneak out at night to see him, he would be expecting me every time. I made a little jump, out of milk crates and some logs, it was a decent size.

We would practice in the paddock for two hours, by the time I would get to bed, it would be one in the morning. " I finish.
"Wait, you would sneak out and jump, Alone?!" Georgie smirked, excited.
"Yep, us practicing was what helped me break him out." I smile, thinking of him.
"Break out?" Georgie questioned.

"Yeah, one day I went out to see him, and his shed, or shelter.....thing, that we were in caught fire. I still don't know how it did. I got on him and jumped him over the fence. The next day new owners were coming for him anyway. So I let him go. I've always knew he wanted to go wild, I remember that I'd watch as he woke, look out into the fields. Longing, I suppose. As I watched him gallop off, I knew he belonged. " I reply.
"How often do you think of him?" Georgie asks, we were both sitting cross legged across from each other in, the loft on a bed.
"every day. Who knows, maybe one day I will see him again." I smile.
"So, tell me a little about you" I add, changed the subject.
"Well, my auntie is 'evil' I don't know or really want to know my parents, my foster Dad, Peter cheated on my foster mum, Lou. I have a younger sister, Katie. She is Lou's and peter's biological daughter. I don't see Peter often. I have a horse called Pheonix, we do jumping shows together, oh and I've been into a bit....okay, a lot,  of trick riding too." She says.
"Wow, I've always wondered what it would be like to show, is it scary?" I ask.
"Well yeah, but you learn to shut out the crowd and judges, and just have fun." Georgie replies.
I nod, soon we find ourselves walking back out to help take the horses in.
What a day.
