Midnight

The Start

The Start

I just want to let you know that Midnight does have three legs, the reason all the pictures do not is that I cannot find any with three legs, so I am sorry. Another thing is my writing schedule, I have not really made one before but I think I have one now. So I will write on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have school so if I write on Monday or Tuesday or any other weekday other than Friday, it probably means I have a day off. Anyway, enough blabbering lets get on with the story.

It all started on June 30th, 2010. Midnight, a strong and loving foal was born. He came to the earth in a rough way. I'm Amy and I want to tell you all about Midnight's story.

I was sleeping in the barn that night, waiting for Twilight, Midnight's mother to give birth. She was just about ready and I could not wait. I heard Twilight pacing her stall, meaning she was going to give birth very soon. I could not sleep any longer. I got out of bed a tiptoed to her stall. She saw me and looked at me, a nervous expression on her face. I pet her.

"It's okay girl, your fine," I said

She dropped down to the floor of her stall, breathing heavily. I knew it was time.

"Daddy, wake up, it's time," I said

        Dad immediately got up and walked over to Twilight's stall. She lay there still breathing heavily. I checked my phone, it was 8:00 AM. I sat by Twilight's head comforting her as dad sat by her end waiting for the baby. I was super excited for the new foal. 

      About 10 minutes later the foal was out. But there was something wrong... dad had a disappointed expression on his face.

"You okay dad?" I asked

"no." dad responded

"What's wrong?" I asked

 "come here and you will see," Dad said

      I walked to the other end of Twilight and saw the newborn foal. The foal had only three legs. Dad walked out into the house and came back to the barn with a gun.

"step out of the stall sweetie." dad said aiming the gun at the colt's head

     Reluctantly I did and stood by dad, but when I realized the foal was going to be killed I stepped in front of the gun and yelled.

"No! Don't shoot him!" I yelled,

"what are you doing, get out of the way." Dad said

"No dad, you haven't even given the foal a chance, sure he may have three legs, but we need to give him at least one chance, I will take full care of him if it helps," I said

      Dad reluctantly puts down the gun.

"Fine, he's all yours, but don't blame me if he dies in a week or two,"  Dad said heading into the house

       I sat by the foal thinking of a name, his midnight coloured coat shone before my eyes. Midnight, that was a good name, it went along with Twilight. Twilight looked at me as if to say thank you for saving my foals life. I scratched her on the pole. I would always remember that day, the day Midnight was born.
