Recap: "Who the hell are you, why are you here, and how the hell do you know my sister, mother and I?" I retort.
******************************************
Hurt swam in the strangers eyes. He took a small step toward me and I took a huge step backwards. A few seconds later, I heard my sisters truck pull into the driveway. I waited for an answer and when it didn't come, I stomped out to see my sister.
"Well hello to you too, Grumpy Britches." she said, using my childhood nickname for when I got angry. "What's got you in a pissy mood?"
"Marie!" The Father-Impersonator-guy yelled.
"That jack wagon. That's what's got me on edge." The guy walks out just as Clara turns around.
A small shocked squeak escapes her lips as if she's just been punched and all her air is gone. Her wide blue eyes water and she stands frozen, not moving as inch as she tries to convince herself she isn't seeing things. I walk back to the horse trailer and start to unload Dancer. If I know my sister, and I do, she REALLY needs to go on a ride. A LONG one.
I gently push her back and she obliges, happy to be out of the trailer. I turn her around and tug gently on her lead. Her long fluffy mane and tail sway gently as she walks. I walk to Clara and the stranger.
"Hey! You still have her? I remember you called her I just wanna be a Dancer. You were so happy when you got her.." he sighs.
"H-How do you know that?! I don't even know you so get off our land before I call the police! I'm dead serious mister! You have 5 minutes to leave the premises!" She yelled at him with tears stinging her eyes.
"I'm being escorted off the property by my own family? Wow. That's harsh." He retorted.
"I don't care! Your not my father! My father is dead! You hear me?! D-E-A-D. Dead!" She screamed at him now.
"I know. He was my brother. So is Thomas." his head is hanging and he's looking ath the ground now.
"Wh- What?" she says back.
"My name is John. I'm your fathers twin. It took me forever to get here and u haven't seen you since the day after you got Dancer. You where having issues with that Jasmine girl so I told her to go take care of her own horse. I guess you thought I was your dad." He says.
"Oh. My. God" we squeak.
Sorry for the long wait. I was trying to make this chapter as long as I could but I have been doing riding lessons every Friday for the past 2-3 weeks and I have been busy with school too. Love you all.
