"can't believe it's Monday and where back in this hell hole already this sucks" "oh will you shut up complaining Di jeez your such a … oh hi Lysander" Idina rolled her eyes as iris's boyfriend walked up to them, her sister always became such a a girl round Lysander always batting her eyelashes and she had a bad habit of twisting her plait round and round, Lysander was just as bad he always blushed heavily around her "oh will you just kiss already jeez" Idina rolled her eyes and put her books away in her locker, she heard the sound of kissing and turned to see her sister in full make out mode "oh come on really right next to me, get a room" "how about we get a room huh Di" Idina jumped as hot breath blew across her ear, she turned to face Lysander's annoyingly handsome best friend Castiel "hi Castiel" she turned her back on him and shut her locker "oh come on Di don't turn away we all know you clearly have a thing for me" she felt his hand grab her wrist and suddenly she was pulled into his chest "its Idina and in your dreams lover boy now let go of me" she pushed as hard she could against his chest "Castiel I said let go " she looked up at his face and was startled , she watched his brow furrow "what" she tilted her head "your eyes, why do they seem so familiar?" "err maybe cause there my eyes" "no I've seen them somewhere else" a lock of red hair fell in front of his eyes and the image hit Idina like a blow to the chest "the red stallion" she whispered and without warning Castiel gasped and let go of her, she toppled backwards onto the floor "what did you say" he was looking down at her panic crossed his features only for a second, "oh not this again Idina" Iris helped her up but Idina wasn't paying attention she was staring at Castiel. "What is she on about" Lysander was looking at Idina as though she was crazy "nothing lys she's been dreaming about this red horse for a few weeks she says its asking for her help, every night it returns, if you ask me I think she's cracking up" Idina hurt by her sisters comment dusted herself and marched to her first class "nobody did ask you". For the rest of the day Idina's mind was filled with the image of the red stallion, she would find herself staring at Castiel, something she would never have done before and once or twice she found him staring back a look of confusion on his face but was it because she was looking at him?.
That night the same dream happened but this time the stallion wasn't there it was Castiel, his red locks whipping him in the face as he looked at Idina his eyes pleading with her "Castiel what's going on where's the stallion, why are you here" Castiel opened his mouth but nothing came out whether his voice got lost in the wind or he generally couldn't talk she didn't know "Castiel" and for the first time Idina felt sorry for the red head, the look on his face was nothing she had ever seen on his features she took a step towards him and like the stallion he retreated "let me help you cas please" suddenly castiel's grey eyes opened wide in terror and Idina knew immediately that there was something behind her something she would never see so instead she fixed her eyes on the man in front of her. Suddenly a hand clamped down on her shoulder and she started screaming, the snow began to get thick again she watched Castiel get lost in the snow and yet the hand was there it was now shaking her she was still screaming.
"jeez Idina wake up stop screaming you'll upset the horses" Idina's eyes shot open to see a face identical to hers staring at her in the darkness, she jumped up and cracked her head against iris's "ow jeez Di" but Idina wasn't paying attention, the look of sheer terror on castiel's face swam in her mind "well seen as your awake and I now have a concussion I'm going back to bed" Idina looked round at her sister scared "iris please don't leave me please" iris seeing her sisters face nodded and climbed in beside her sister "we haven't done this since we were kids" iris whispered, Idina only nodded.
For the rest of the week she was quiet something never heard of for Idina but she couldn't help it she was afraid if she opened her mouth she would scream, what was so scary that it had Castiel scared witless, she had always somewhat admired the red head for being tough and always imagined that there was nothing that could scare him yet that look of terror had been real she knew it but why and that's what bothered her the most, she could no longer sleep unless iris was in the bed with her and even then her dreams where plagued by the red stallion and Castiel.
Idina was sat on a branch in the only tree in the main paddock, it was her favourite place as it had a view of the entire property and at this time of year the snow lit everything up in the watery sun, it looked so beautiful, it was the only place she could relax and push the images in her head away temporarily. Her brown mare Kora was grazing nearby, Idina pulled out her sketchpad to draw her but as she put pencil to paper she found herself drawing castiel's face instead, she drew his eyes carefully her hand shook as she tried to push the image of the red horse out of her head and yet she found herself drawing the horses face on the same piece of paper. The shading of the horses fur was the same colour as castiel's hair, she didn't know how and she didn't know why but Castiel was most certainly connected to this horse, the eyes and the hair colour could not be coincidence.
"Idina get your head out the clouds" Idina jumped and looked down to see her sister looking up at her, she quickly hid her sketch. "What were you drawing" iris asked intrigued "err just Kora" "really?" "really" iris shrugged "ok, well any way come on we better get ready where meeting everyone at 3 remember" she knew that iris knew she was hiding something but the one thing Idina liked about her sister is that she didn't pry "oh yeah, why are we meeting that early anyway, the party's only at 6" "I don't know lys said it was castiel's idea" "what, ahhh" the sound of castiel's name and the fact that she had forgotten he was going to be there this afternoon had taken Idina by shock that she fell out the tree and landed face down in the snow, she flopped over on to her back and looked at her twin laughing at her, Kora next to her wondering what had just happened.
"anyone would think you had a little crush on Castiel" Idina's head shot up from straightening her sisters auburn hair and looked at her in the mirror "what do you mean" iris laughed "well, since last week you've been avoiding him, yet I catch you staring at him in class, and just then you fell out the tree at the sheer mention of his name" "I don't have a crush on Castiel" "oh yeah" iris challenged her sister "really iris" "then why do you say his name in your sleep then .. OWW" Idina had accidently burnt her sister but she didn't notice "I talk in my sleep" she frowned at her sister in the mirror " yeah it's the same each night, Castiel, cas what is it, what can I do, don't leave me" Idina sat down on the bed she frowned for a minute "girl you got it bad" iris poked her sister in the forehead " I don't have a crush on Castiel ok there's something about him, I don't know what, but it disturbs me".
