Chapter 1-Vae family drama.
Daisy had changed since her transformations from vampire back to normal. She didn't feel so... thirsty, and angry. She felt a sense of relief and peace come over her, like she was at peace with everything she did, as well as going back to being kind and caring. Some things had changed negatively though. She went back to being nervous about guns, almost completely. Daisy could no longer work up the nerve to use one like she did back when she and Miller had gone back to Worssenfield to repower the Ruby Sun. The recoil fumbled her, and even to hold a small 9mm she felt antsy and nervous.
Not that it even mattered to her husband anyway. Miller enjoyed greatly seeing Daisy bring pain with a rifle but he knew that it was indeed, her thirst for blood which powered her instinct and nerve to shoot and take a life.
But now, Daisy was back to how she always was naturally; kind, caring, sweet and all these qualities no matter what happened to her. Yes indeed, Daisy was always optimistic even in the worst of times. However, she wasn't hopelessly or naïvely cheery. She cried and got sad when something terrible happened to her, but she never outburst into a fit of rage. Now, whenever she was mad, she would look away, take a deep breath and count to 3, and say what she needed to say.
She never usually had someone to annoy her constantly, until now.
Barnyard.
Ever since DJ had freed her of the vampire spell, he had been trying to approach her with something to prove.
"You know, I freed you." DJ would say whenever they were alone together, "That's more than Miller could ever do. Why don't you see you belong with me?"
Daisy looked away, controlling her anger. "DJ…" she said quietly, "You had your chance, you blew it."
"Yeah, but can't I have another one?" said DJ "He'll never love you like I do. Let me be your cowboy again."
"Yes, DJ." said Daisy, "No one will ever love me like you do."
DJ smiled.
"No one will ever hurt me, cheat on me, and leave me and use me as some tool like you did." replied Daisy,
DJ's smile turned into a scowl.
I'm giving DJ a piece of my mind! Daisy thought.
"You know what you are DJ? Pathetic." Daisy began going off on DJ, "You are a pathetic little vampire. Look at you, Rosey's been nothing but patient with you and you are hitting on me. You're not very nice at all DJ, and what you did was a low-blow. How selfish are you? Thinking that you could just take away my happiness like that. That shows me you'll never understand love. Never. You took me, and took advantage of the love I gave you. Now our family is dysfunctional. So leave DJ, because Miller is a better lover than you'll ever be."
"DAISY!" DJ got on his knees, crying "Please come back! I can't live without you!"
"No!" said Daisy, "Now I've found someone new and you will never break my heart in two again!"
DJ sniffed, "I didn't mean to. It was a Vampiric entity. I loved you more than anyone else will. Why can't you see that?"
"Because if you really loved me, you would've taken care of that at the first time it ever happened." replied Daisy
DJ got close to her, "I can show you a good time more than Miller can."
He put his hooves on her hips.
He crossed the line.
Daisy gasped, then shoved his hooves back and ran off crying.
"Daisy!" called DJ, chasing her and crying too. "I didn't mean it I'm sorry!"
Daisy ran back into her and Miller's stall and locked the door. DJ knocked frantically.
"Daisy!" he cried, "Let me explain! I'm sorry!"
There was silence for a few minutes, an eerie silence. Then the stall door creaked open.
"Daisy?" asked DJ
It was Daisy, but not like herself. She had a Colt Python revolver in her hands, trembling. The gun shook and she could barely keep it straight, but it was pointed at DJ.
"Just… go…DJ." Daisy said timidly
DJ was shocked, but knew he had nothing to fear. She would never pull the trigger.
"Daisy, you know you wouldn't do that." said DJ, still crying. "How could you point a gun at me?"
"Go…DJ.." Daisy said more firmly.
"You know you still love me." said DJ, "Let's end this and get back to the way things were."
Daisy looked through the sights of the gun at the bull she once loved. She remembered the laughs, her kids, Valentine's Day…
Like a guardian angel, faithful and true. they had sang.
Had she been wrong all along?
She lowered the gun.
"Yes baby, yes." said DJ,
Daisy lowered the gun, but then it all snapped, and reality hit her.
Cold reality.
It was all smoke and mirrors.
She remembered being scared and alone. The trucks surrounding the Barnyard, when he left for Hollywood, never dealing with the entity, and the adventures he put everyone through to satisfy his wants and needs!
He had been using her as a trophy wife!
And then, when she had finally found someone who understood her, who actually cared. DJ had stomped his face in.
Miller. Her Miller.
She remembered how sad he looked when he found out she was married to DJ at Wachita. She remembered that he vowed to love her even if she got married, that he would never be jealous.
She remembered how he took DJ's beatings because he didn't want to hurt her. HE LET HIMSELF BE HURT AND SCARRED JUST BECAUSE HE LOVED HER!
Daisy realized at once that her true love had been Miller. Ever since they first met.
Flashback.
Daisy had just met DJ as a calf. She had the daisy in her hair, and was exploring the new place. In the back of the Vaes' farm, she heard a noise.
"Go!"
She looked around to see young Miller running a military obstacle course. A .223 sniper rifle was slung on his back. Daisy watched in awe as he scaled a rope and ladder, but then stopped when he saw her.
He dropped down in front of her. An army hat was on his head.
"Salutations!" he said excitedly
"Huh?" asked Daisy, confused
"It means, 'Hi!'!" said Miller
"Hi!" said Daisy, interested in this young bull. "I'm Daisy!"
"I am Private Millervich Ruizcho! Sniper!" said Miller, "I have a cool rifle!"
"What's a rifle?" asked Daisy, curious
"It's uhhh.. a gun! Like a pistol!" replied Miller
"What's a pistol?" asked Daisy, smiling
"It's like a small gun! Like this!" replied Miller, making his hand into the pistol gesture.
"Ohhhh... like in the movies." said Daisy, giggling. She liked this boy.
"Yeah!" said Miller, excited.
Daisy giggled, "I like you. I think you're cute."
Miller looked disappointed, "Ohhh, Sarge says I'm not allowed to have crushes."
Daisy frowned, "Well why not?"
"He says that'll distract me from my training." said Miller, frowning. "But… maybe he'll make an exception for you! You're very pretty!"
Daisy giggled, "Well…" she thought, "Maybe we can play together when you are here!"
"Ok!" said Miller
"Daisy!" called Rose, "Come over here and play with Lane and Reven!"
"Come on, come join us!" said Daisy
"Ok! Let me just finish up training!" said Miller, and ran back to the obstacle course.
Daisy went back to where young DJ and young Reven were playing.
"Hey Daisy!" said Reven
"Yeah hi Daisy" said DJ, lovestruck.
They played for hours, but Daisy couldn't take her mind off Miller. Suddenly her head felt a little… off.
"Oh no!" cried Daisy, "My flower is gone!"
"I'll find it!" said DJ, and he began looking everywhere.
Daisy began crying, but Reven comforted her.
"We'll find it." said Reven.
15 minutes passed, and the small daisy was nowhere to be found.
"I'm sorry Daisy," said DJ, "There's nothing I can do."
Daisy sat sad and ears down for a while. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
She turned around. It was Miller!
He held out something for her. It was her daisy!
"Oh Miller!" cried Daisy, putting the delicate flower back. "Thank you so much!" She hugged him, and he hugged back.
It was the beginning of their loyal, durable and everlasting love.
Barnyard, present.
All of things ran through adult Daisy's mind in less than a millisecond. She lifted the revolver and fired. *BAM!*
She hit DJ square in the chest, who recoiled back in agony.
"I will never be your girl, ever again." said Daisy
She fired twice into DJ's arms, her aim was steady and pinpoint.
"That's for hurting my man, and trying to have sex with me."
She fired two shots into DJ's legs,
"That's for cheating on me, and leaving me all alone all those years."
She cocked the revolver for the final shot, which was pointed at DJ's head.
"This," said Daisy, "Is for trying to WISH ME BACK TO YOU!"
She fired.
All was quiet.
Daisy looked shocked at herself. She dropped the revolver, it clanked on the floor.
DJ was certainly not dead, but he bled profusely on the floor, and groaned in agony.
"Oh….DJ." Daisy said softly, in horrible regret. It was not out of love that she regretted shooting DJ. The bull that bled and groaned in agony before her was her beloved husband's little brother. She had just shot her brother-in-law six times.
Miller would never forgive her. Oh god, she could see it all now.
The instant divorce, him hating her.
In her mind, she heard Miller say the words she would have thought to have never been spoken.
"Daisy, how could you? This marriage is over. I never want to see you again!"
She started bawling, just kneeled down and started crying intensely. She didn't know what to do if Miller wouldn't be sympathetic with her. She would never be able to live down that she ended the perfect marriage with her one TRUE love. Come to think of it, she would never love again.
That's when she heard hoofsteps. She turned around, it was Miller.
Miller looked in horror at the scene before him. A smoking revolver, his beloved wife crying and sobbing, and DJ bleeding and groaning in pain.
Knowing both DJ and Daisy, it didn't take long to piece together what happened.
"MILLER I'M SORRY!" wailed Daisy, "I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! HE TRIED TO MAKE ME HAVE SEX WITH HIM AND TRIED TO SAY THAT HE'S A BETTER LOVER THAN HIM! PLEASE PLEASE DON'T LEAVE! I'M SORRY! I'M SO SORRY!" Daisy cried on her knees, hugging Miller's leg.
DJ, in all his pain, expected Miller to say something like "Daisy, you were wrong for shooting him. But DJ, you were wrong for trying to hit on my wife. Grow up and don't do it again." and then walk away and that would be the end of it.
But Miller didn't.
Instead, he went into Pig's kitchen, and started rustling around in there.
"What's… he doing?" said DJ, curious
Daisy stopped crying and looked, she heard the stove turn on.
Soon, Miller came back with a glass bottle full of salt. He walked over to where DJ and Daisy were.
"DJ," Miller spoke firmly, "Did you try to HIT on my wife and make her cheat on me?"
"Yes." said DJ
In an instant, Miller broke the bottle of salt over DJ's head, and tons of salt flew into each of DJ's open wounds.
DJ screamed and rolled around in agony. He felt like acid had been thrown all over his body, and the pain in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.
"You like touching my woman huh?" said Miller, "Can't get over her Twilight boy?"
Miller walked away from DJ and back into the kitchen. DJ tried to crawl away but found that the bullets had fractured his bones, making it impossible to move.
Miller came back with something off the stove. It was a pair of needle-nose pliers that had been heated until the metal was red hot.
"Now," said Miller, "You tried to wish Daisy away from me. That was a real shitty move. You know I never would've done that if I was in your position. Just goes to show who the bigger person is. Now…" Miller kneeled down next to DJ; the pliers still red hot. "…let's see about getting those bullets out."
Miller stuck the red hot pliers inside DJ's head, where the bullet had lodged itself in his skull. DJ felt all his thought and memories become fire, and it was like his head was in a pit of molten lava. Miller dug around until he felt the bullet and pulled it out. DJ gasped for breath.
"Now," said Miller, "About the chest one. If I were you, I take a deeeep breath, and hold it."
Without warning, Miller jammed the pliers inside the chest wound. DJ felt as if he could die from the pain. His heart beat faster than it had ever before, and he was gasped for air. Miller found the bullet and pulled it out.
Miller quickly pulled out the bullets in DJ's arms and legs. The pain almost made DJ want to saw them off completely.
By now DJ was well aware that his big brother wasn't gonna be nice anymore.
"Are you done with all this?" Miller asked, "Have you learned not to fuck with someone else's girl?"
"Yes! Yes!" snapped DJ, "Dammit! I'm sorry! I thought there was another way! I thought all wrong!"
"Good." said Miller, and he went over to his stall and got out an Insta-Heal vial. He injected DJ with it. In moments, DJ was good as new.
"Wha-What?" asked DJ, as Miller helped him up. "You just tortured me and now you're being nice to me?"
"Yeah." said Miller, "That is the exact thing I could've done to you back at all those times you beat me down, but I didn't because I loved and respected you both. I don't need to be an asshole to you any longer, and neither does anyone else."
"You're confusing." said DJ, "How could you torture me like that?"
"Well if someone came and tried to steal your woman," replied Miller, "wouldn't you do the same?"
"Touche" said DJ
Miller walked over to Daisy, who had her ears covered and her eyes shut tight to avoid seeing DJ in pain and agony.
He tapped her on the shoulder, she looked up, "Are-are you mad?" said Daisy, timidly
"No." said Miller, "I love you, but I've taken care of business. We can go back to being nice to DJ."
"Oh thank you Miller!" said Daisy, hugging him. He had shown her kindness and forgiveness. "You're the best husband ever!" she turned to DJ, "I'm sorry, Lane, for shooting you. I was scared that's all."
"That's ok, Daisy." said DJ, "I'm sorry for trying to hurt you. Can you forgive me?"
"Yes." said Daisy with a smile.
"That's what I like to here." said Miller, and he hugged them both.
