Not too far gone

Summery: After Kris leaves Raintree she runs into two old friends, who happen to be brothers. After getting her home to Arizona she finds out that not much has changed and she'll still have to face the past and the plans her father has set for her and one of the Carter brothers.

Disclaimer: I do not own Wildfire; I'll take Junior off your hands though. I do however own Gus, Cain, and Mia.

Kris' head pounded as she tried slowly to open her eyes. Where am I? She started to panic and sat up only to find herself back on the pillow. Her head was getting worse.

"You haven't changed a bit Krisy." An oddly familiar male voice came. God no one's called me that in ages. She opened her eyes and looked at the tall, muscular, figure next to the bed.

"Oh my god, Cadian. What are you doing here?"

"Well intentionally me, Gus, and on of dad's trainers came to pick up a few horses but we saw you on the side of the rode, you looked like shit so we brought you here." The sexy brunette said with a wink that assured Kris it was him she was talking to.

"Where is 'here' exactly?" She said sitting up slowly, this time. Cadian propped the pillows up so that she could see him but still feel comfortable.

"Here drink this." He said handing her a glass of water. "We're at motel not far from where we need to pick up one more horse."

"God my head hurts." Kris said holding her head.

"Here try this, it should help." He said giving her an aspirin. She swallowed the pills down with the last of the water. "Good?"

"Um, hum."

"Good"

"Wait did you say Gus was here with you?" Kris asked excitedly, she hadn't seen the Cater brothers in years. But of course Gus had always caught her eye, much to Cadian's dismay.

"Still got the hots for my lil' bro eh?" He didn't give her time to answer the question. "He and Marc went to get breakfast, then we need to pick up the horse and we're gone. Need a lift?"

"A lift home?" Kris said just for his ears only.

"I do can that."

"Thanks Cain." Kris said hugging him tightly.

Wildfire

The ride to Phoenix was a long one but Kris didn't mind, she was far form Raintree and Matt. Speaking of Matt he just wouldn't stop calling her. Gus said as soon as they got to Phoenix he'd fix that.

She was surprised to learn the Carter brothers hadn't changed much, Gus grow muscles from being in Juvie so long, while Cain got it from working along side the stable hands.

Her and Gus were in the back having a nice chat about the things that had happened since the trial that landed both of them in Juvie.

"Man I've missed you Kris"

"I've missed you to, it's been years when did you get out?" Kris asked facing him.

"God it's been about five years, I heard you were still in. I was going to see you when I heard you got out but things came up and well sorry." Gus said pouring some mixer and sitting back down at the table.

"It's alright I could have come to visit but you know how me and my dad are every since you know." She toke the drink and sipped it slowly.

"Yeah dad treated me like white noise for awhile but it got better in time of course."

"Yeah well Jace came and told me dad was ready to forgive me if I just came home, but I had a responsibility to people there then."

"What happened Kris?" Gus asked sincerely.

"I got into some trouble with my boss and the state for illegal horse racing."

"Okay… don't tell yours or mine dad that k?"

"Of course not. Plus I won't be riding I got my license taken away and Wildfire got sent to Davis farms."

"Davis farms that's where we got Gallon back there." Gus said with excitement

"Really where'd you get the other three?" Kris asked with interest

"Um… Raintree farms."

"Your kidding who do you have?"

"Shamrock, Hocus Pocus, and Sundance."

"Your kidding me Sundance Jean and Pablo sold him."

"They were selling all their horses actually, good price on Sundance and he's got fantastic racing stats."

"Wait all of them."

"Yeah, wait you know them?"

"Yeah Jean she owns Raintree I worked there."

"And that guy who keeps calling you?" Gus asked pointing down.

"That's her son, my… I thought I meant something to him but know I just fell"

"Ashamed. I know the feeling." Finished for her, his excitement completely faded.

"You're a great guy Gus, I pulled you into the whole high-jacking thing. If there's anyone to blame it's me."

"No, I did it because I wanted to Kris. Not because of you, I knew what I was getting myself into."

"And so did I" Kris argued

"So it's finished I should have stopped you."

"And I shouldn't have drag you along." Kris finished for him.

"I was going to say you shouldn't have given me that chili cheese dog but that works too." Gus's smile returned at the joke.

Kris and Gus started laughing.

"God Gus I'm sorry and this time I'm not going anywhere."

"Promise"

"Pinky Promise." The intertwined there pinkies and gave a shake before going back to talking about the past.
