It's one thing to be the best rider in the riding school's team. It's one thing to have the most expensive, impressive horse in the stables. It's a whole other thing, however, to connect with him - especially after a nearly-fatal accident that transpired the year before, an accident that seems to have set a wall between the rider and his trusty steed. So you can probably imagine to yourself Roman's shock and annoyance when he finds his horse purring in comfort at the hands of Virgil, a simple stable boy. What connection does he possibly have with Roman's horse that Roman doesn't? And in a matter of mere minutes? When Roman is forced to give the boy riding lessons, however, he soon discovers a side of the stable-boy he must have glossed over in the past. He pushes himself to put his pride aside when Virgil offers to teach him how to reconnect with his traumatized horse - at this point, Roman is desperate. And so the deal is made: Roman shall teach Virgil to ride in the showjumping ring, and Virgil shall teach him to face the animal he refuses to admit that he fears. I mean - what's the worst that can happen?

Virgil had heard the rumors of the ghost that haunted his school building. He never was one to believe in the paranormal, but while staying after school in the library one day he starts to wonder if maybe everyone was right. Book Warnings: Mentions of blood, detailed descriptions of injuries and death/murder, mentions of bullying and violence. (This book was originally a oneshot in my Sanders Sides Oneshots 2 book, but I decided to add the parts of it into their own little book. This was only supposed to be a short story with like 5 parts but here we are now.......)

It was the tenth of December. Virgil was watching his idiotic boyfriend try and choose which Christmas tree they should have in their house this year. It was also the day Virgil received a text. A text from his older sister. Herself and the rest of his family want him to come home this Christmas. His family want him home. His family he hasn't seen in ten years. (Some of the characters I write about - Thomas and his 'sides' - are not mine! They were created by Thomas Sanders who is a YouTuber. If you didn't know that already, I'd suggest you check him out before reading my stuff!)

//I do own the cover. You can find me on tumblr if you're interested @probablynothumanish I'm better at uploading on there than I am on here, so if you're interested in this story, I try to upload on tumblr every night. Whatever happens on your skin - writing, bruises, tattoos, cuts - appears on the skin of your soulmate. Virgil never liked the idea of soulmates in general. It seemed too easy, too good to be true. He had planned on ignoring his forever, but when he finds out he has not one but three, it gets a little bit harder to ignore
