Warning. I am a story jumper due to my ADHD.
Names Andrew Narva. I live in Texas on a farm where I have a few neighbors but they live quite a ways away from the farm. I have a horse barn which I only have two horses for when it could fit like 10 of them. I also have some apple tree acres, some chickens, pigs, but ironically no cows. I also have a miniature garden behind my house. But the worst part about living alone in Texas… is that hooligans can do whatever they want when I'm not around my house.
They had broken my water pipes, clogged up my well, and destroyed the fences where my horse's pastures were but with my horses being very loyal it did shit for them. I was currently taking supplies out of my truck to fix my windmill which they broke only yesterday. As I walked over and set down the first box and when I turned I froze, clenched my fists, and tried to keep my anger from having me hunt them all down and kill them.
They had spray painted the word 'bitch' on the side of my house… and it covered the entire fucking side. "THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS!" I yelled as I then gripped my hair and tried to pull out some of it. I swear if I find them on my property I now have the right to kill them for all they have done.
This just adds more vandalism to their charges if I kill them and I then cannot be brought to court for all they have done. They have also killed every single last one of my chickens every single month for about 5 years. I know I was currently 21 but still all of these fuckers were now in high school and they would be graduating next year… meaning I would lose my chance to get those fuckers for what they deserve. Well I guess I might as well work on the fixing everything tomorrow.
It was currently around lunchtime so I might as well go and check on lightning and thunder. Lightning was a blue roan mare and she was the first horse I ever owned. She was reliable and by far most likely the fastest mare in Texas and she has the trophies to prove it. We had actually retired from the races about a year ago almost. Thunder was lightning's mate as well as best friend and was also a blue roan.
I actually got him about a year after I got lightning. As far as I know they had actually recently mated so I would need to call a veterinarian to check on her and double check on thunder if he could or could not help me tomorrow. As I entered the barn they neighed their greeting towards me as I said hello to them as I pulled out there two flakes of hay and I threw them in to them. They shared the same stall since they were mates and they were always behaving themselves when I was in the barn.
"So how are your days going so far?" I asked them as they neighed once which meant good. I had taught them to communicate to me through how many times they neighed to me. "Well that's good…" I then said as I heard some driving coming from outside the barn.
"SOMEPONY HELP US!" and with that I shot to my feet and ran over to the barn door and as I looked out of it I saw a truck pulling a giant trailer. "HELP US!" the voice yelled again and I pinpointed where the screams were and they were coming from the trailer. As it sped past I quickly threw open the barn doors and I ran in and I opened up the door and I quickly grabbed my six shooters and shotgun and I jumped onto lightning's back and we went speeding out of the barn and down the road.
As she ran faster and faster I must say that the speed was one of the many reasons why I loved her. She was useful for chasing after some hooligans every once in a while. As we caught up with the trailer I pounded on its side.
"I will help you! Just cover your ears!" I yelled as I had lightning pull up closer and I pulled out one of the six shooters and I then shot out the front left tire causing it to start and swerve as it slowly came to a halt and as I stopped lightning next to the back and I heard the driver get out and cuss a little I put away the six shooter and I then pulled out my shotgun and I then loaded in two shells before I showed myself pointing it at him. "What the fuck do you have back there?!" I yelled at him as he held up his hands.
"It's none of your business." He then said as I then cocked the pump causing an excess shell to come flying out.
"I will ask one more time. What the hell do you have in the back?" I asked.
"What's it to you?" he then asked me.
"Because you are on my god damn property! That's what it is to me!" I yelled. "And I already put in the slip saying all who trespass on my property now I can kill if I want if they are doing something suspicious! Now open the god damn back!" I yelled and he quickly walked to the back and he unlatched the back and as soon as he lifted it I immediately knocked him out and took a look inside.
What was inside surprised me a lot. Inside were a bunch of colored pony's and it looked like they were all knocked out by something but I don't know what and they were all hurt. They were dyed like they were all dyed along with their manes and tails.
And it looks like it was permanent as well so I only sighed before I took out a notepad and I wrote a note before I placed it onto the guys back and I then told lightning to head on back to the barn and she complied as she started to run back as I got out and turned the truck back on and I started to carefully make our way back to the farm.
As soon as we reached the farm in about 10 minutes I then unloaded all of the pony's which I found out were all mares into the barn and I placed them all into a giant stall so they could all at least be together.
I must say they reminded me of something I used to watch until working on the farm took away all of my free time. As soon as that was done I had lightning run with the truck and as soon as I got it back to the unconscious man I put him back into his seat and I closed up the back and took the note and I got onto lightning and I then rode her all the way back to the farm and when we got there she followed me into the barn and I found thunder over by the stall door where they all were still knocked out for some reason. "How they doing thunder?" I asked as I walked forward.
Few neighs.
"Yeah they seem to of been knocked out by some gas or something. But glad to hear they are doing well."
Clops and neighs.
"We are not throwing them out I mean just look at them! They are all hurt! That reminds me to get my med kit and start bandaging them up." and with that I walked over to my first aid tack box and I grabbed what I needed and walked back over and I opened the door and got to work. I swear I had seen these pony's somewhere before but I need to remember where.
Maybe I could look later but for now I need to get to work. Tomorrow marks the first day of apple harvest and with thunder not in shape it's going to be a hell of a harvest for me. As I started to bandage up the yellow one I could tell she had knife and bite wounds on her. Who the fuck would do this to a pony? I understand the bite marks maybe coyotes or wolves but knife wounds? What the fuck is this?
As soon as I finished bandaging her up I moved on to the cyan colored one. Man she looked horrible. Did she get hit by a motherfucking train? As I bandaged up three of her legs and her neck I then noticed a little movement but I put it out of my mind as I then got to work on the white one next. I mean seriously. White coat and purple mane? Whoever did this to them wanted them to become a fucking freak show.
As I finished bandaging up her head I then bandaged up her stomach, hind left leg and left foreleg. Okay that's three down and three to go. As I moved on to the pink pony I saw that the pony was drooling. Ponies can drool? Now that's new. As I finished bandaging her head and then her back I then moved onto the purple pony. She wasn't as bad as the others but she was still pretty bad. As soon as I finished bandaging all of her legs and her hind quarters I then got to work on the last pony which was orange and she was wearing a cowboy hat?
Well now that's a new thing. Well I must say that this one actually had some broken bones. She had broken her hind legs along with her front right leg. That's going to take a few weeks to heal but she was built like hell. She looked like she was a farm pony and that is actually quite rare since pony's are hardly used for farm work. As I continued to bandage and splint her legs she started to squirm and when I looked she was awake.
"Lightning tell her that I am trying to help!" I quickly said and as lightning started to neigh and clop a lot soon she finished squirming and looked around to see her friends or I think they were her friends all lying around bandaged. "You're going to have to stay off your legs for a while. You broke three of them and they are going to need time to heal." I said and the pony only kept on staring at me. "Well as long as you are here I will take care of you all until you are all healed. But for now I got to get ready for harvest tomorrow. You sure you're not up for harvest tomorrow thunder?" I asked looking at him.
Few neighs.
"There was no need for those words! I just asked a simple question!" I snapped.
Single neigh.
"Yeah you better be fucking sorry and I better not hear you make fun of my mother again!" I snapped as I then packed up everything in my kit and I then put it back into the tack box and I then started to fill up buckets with water. As soon as I finished up several buckets I grabbed some brushes and towels and I walked into the stall and started to clean them all around the bandages.
I first started with the yellow one and cleaned her up of all the blood and I then moved onto the cyan one, then the white one, then pink, then purple, and finally to the orange one. She struggled at first until she eventually realized what I was doing and she calmed down as lightning came in and helped her up where I could get where I couldn't and then set her back down.
"Thanks for the help lightning. I trust that you and thunder can watch over them while I harvest tomorrow?" I asked as she neighed me a yes and I then walked over to the hose and I started to clean up the buckets while lightning walked over and neighed me a question. "I may not know where they came from but taking care of them is my top priority until they are healed."
Few more neighs then a few clops.
"I will still love you lightning you know that." She then nuzzled me before she neighed to me. "They can if they want. I will give them the choice if they want to leave or not."
Several clops.
"Yeah I know I am a sweetheart. Maybe we can teach them how to talk like I did with you two."
She neighed loudly.
"What? It's a good idea!"
She did a single clop then a single neigh.
"I love you too." I said as I hugged her neck and I then finished cleaning up the buckets and I walked over and started to fill the buckets with clean water and I then carried them all into the stall and I left a bucket near them all.
"Here's some water for you all. Drink it up when you feel thirsty. I trust you lightning to tell me when they get low on water. You hungry?" I asked the orange pony and she nodded as I only smiled and I walked out and grabbed several flakes of hay and I walked back in and set them down next to her and she looked like she eyed the hay a little before she started to eat it.
"So at least you are eating so that's good. Let's see what time it is." As I walked out of the barn and looked at the sun I found that it was getting close to dinner time since the sun was now at a 135 degree angle. Well I used up a bunch of my day taking care of them all. Well they needed the help so who cares. As I walked towards the house I then remembered the spray painted word and the broken windmill and I sighed as I was then forced to start on the windmill.
As I climbed up it with the boxes one at a time I started to replace the wood surrounding the middle. I was seriously about to hunt down those motherfuckers and kill them. As I then started to replace the broken spikes that connected the wood in the middle I realized I had bought more then I needed but I just shrugged it off as I then finished fixing it and I then started to take the stuff down as the wind started to spin it once more and I only smiled as I got everything off but I then frowned as I stared at the spray painted word.
"I'm going to need some help with this job…" I muttered as I then walked into the house and I dialed up one of my friends. "Hey Frank how you doing?"
"Doing good man. What do you need?" he asked.
"Those little brats spray painted the word 'bitch' on the entire left side of my house if you are looking away from it at the front."
"Those little motherfuckers."
"So think you could help?"
"Sure. Want me to ring up some of the others?"
"You could if you want. Thunder is not able to help with harvest tomorrow. He went into work overload and the vet said he needed a few weeks of rest but I gave him the decision and he wanted to rest."
"I forgot you taught your horses to speak to you through neighs and clops."
"Well it is really useful. This might be the first harvest I need help with."
"Well that just means your human for asking for help."
"Yeah and I also had to free some mares from a trailer today as well."
"What happened?!" he then asked.
"Trailer being pulled by a truck sped by the farm and I smelled blood coming from it. So I followed it on lightning and I then shot his front left tire and as he came to a stop I forced him to open the back since he was still on my property and as soon as I saw the condition of the mares I knocked them out,, took them back to the farm, and brought back his truck. They had wounds everywhere. One of them had three broken legs, they all had bite marks, and they all had knife wounds on them."
"Holy shit. Need any help with them?"
"If any of you guys don't mind sure. But they were all also dyed as well. Permanently."
When I find that motherfucker I'm going to beat his ass."
"He probably already left and is miles away by now. Also I think those little brats have finally gone too far."
Finally you agree with us. They should have gone too far when they killed your chickens every month. In fact it is getting near for them to do it again right?"
"Yep. In about 2 weeks they will strike once more. They had also broken the windmill recently as well and I had just finished fixing that earlier."
"And your father was the one that had made that from his own hands! They are so going to pay when I catch them."
"Well they did come onto my property multiple times without my permission and destroyed private property and killed some of my animals… and I had recently turned in the paper saying we could shoot them."
"We are not going to kill them unless we have to. So how many mares did you save?"
"A total of 6 of them."
"… Motherfucker…"
"I know right. So ring up the others and come over in the morning tomorrow. The sooner we get the harvest done the more apples we save from those ungrateful brats."
"Okay then. I'm calling in the big guns for this task. Might want to call your brother about what those brats did to your pa's windmill as well. We will need a lot of muscle for the stakeout."
"I was going to call him next. See you later Frank and thanks for the help."
"No problem." I heard the click meaning he had hung up so I then started to ring up my brother and I heard it pick up.
"Hey John it's me Andrew."
"Hey bro how you doing these days?" he said.
"Good… those brats… had broken pa's windmill and I just finished fixing it earlier today." There was silence for a few seconds as I then held the phone away from me.
"THOSE LITTLE FUCKERS DID FUCKING WHAT?!" he yelled as I then brought the phone back to my ear.
"Yep. And we are going to need your help to catch them when they come and kill the chickens again." I said.
"I will leave right now. Just let me tell my wife and son where I'm going. Good thing we finished harvest yesterday or else I wouldn't be able to help."
"Well my harvest starts tomorrow and my friends are being called in to help due to thunder not being able to work."
"Work overload?" he asked.
"Yep. Vet says rest for a few weeks. I need to also call in the vet to check in on a few mares I had saved earlier today and to check and see if lightning is pregnant."
"Wow there back up for a minute. Saved mares?"
"Yep. They were all very badly hurt and I had knocked out the perpetrator I think since they were on my property and they are currently all unconscious in the barn all except for one… seeing the mares hurt really made me snap a little."
"Then I will need to tell my wife and son to pack up as well cause you're going to need my wife and son to help take care of the mares until they are healed."
"Why your wife and son?" I then asked.
"Cause they have been learning how to be vest even though there are no animals on the farm. So we will leave tomorrow morning and get there the next day."
"Thanks for taking your time to come brother."
"Anything to help my little brother with the family's farm and to get revenge on those brats for breaking pa's windmill."
"I should also tell you that the mares I had saved… were all dyed different colors." Silence for a few seconds and I thought he wasn't going to yell… but yet again I was wrong.
"WHAT?! WE ARE GOING TO BE THERE TOMORROW!" And with that I heard a click as he hung up as I then sighed before placing the phone back onto the wall and I sat down in the chair and looked at pa's rifle on the wall over the fireplace. I'm most likely going to need to use that when we have our stakeout. But for now let's worry about the farm.
As I looked outside I found out the sun was starting to set and I then realized I must have been on the phone for a couple of hours. As I walked out of the house and walked over to the barn and walked in I found lightning and thunder neighing into the stall the mares were in.
"well time for me to close up. You two want to stay out or be put into your stall?" I asked them as I walked over and I then realized that all of the mares were now awake. "Glad to see that you are all awake. Well before I lock up I might as well feed you all before I forget." I said with a smile as I walked over to the hay area and I collected two flakes for every pony and horse and I walked over and set two flakes down with each of them and I could see that the other 5 mares looked afraid of me. "I am not going to hurt any of you. I'm trying to help you all heal. Hey lightning. Guess who's coming tomorrow."
She neighed.
"No not Leroy Jenkins! My brother is coming tomorrow along with some of my friends."
She neighed excitedly.
"Calm down lightning. Well I'm going to lock up the barn door. Thunder I want you to make sure that they all stay safe."
He neighed.
"Fine if you watch them you can get some treats in the morning."
He neighed.
"Fine I'll give you some of the fresh apples we harvest."
He nodded.
"Good. Well good night everypony and everyhorse." I said as I walked out of the barn and I closed the giant barn door and I locked it and placed the key in my pocket and I walked back into the house and I changed into shorts and a T-shirt and I placed my hat on the stand next to my bed and I got in and fell asleep.
