Victoria is now 8 years old and she was friends with Max and Lachlan til Victoria started to miss her own home. So one night Victoria knows that she wanted to go home and see her mother, Hank and her friends back at the meadow she grew up in.
"I miss my home." Victoria walked out of her unlock stall and said goodbye to Max and Lachlan as she galloped away from the barn she stayed with for 2 years and she was then away from the breeding barn and she was in the meadow, it was quite and dark that night.
Victoria: Where has the starlight gone, darkness it the time. How can I find my true mate? home is where I belong, lost into the night. Daddy I feel, so alone. You said you would be there whenever I needed you, wherever I call your name. You're not anywhere, I am trying to see through; just waiting to hear your voice. One word just a word will do, to end this night.
When will the dawn break, oh endless night. Seeing through my eyes; of the night, when you were by my side. Giuding my way. Father I need you to find my path. You said that you will be here whenever I needed you, wherever I call your name you're not any where. I am trying to hold on; just waiting to hear you speak, one word just a word will do. To end this night.
(Even you want the night to end, and then the sun will rise. Even you want the clouds to clear, and then the sun will come out.)
I know that this night must end, and then the sun will rise. Even it's so hard to say but the sun needs to rise, I really know the night must end. And then the clouds must clear, the sun the sun will rise. The sun the sun will rise!
Victoria woke up in the morning to see all the other horses were galloping and eating the fresh grass.
"I wonder where my mother is." Victoria galloped down the hills and saw that she stopped when she saw Hank staring at her.
"Victoria?"
"Hank?"
"It's me Hank, do you remember?" Hank asked.
"I remember you!"
"We've never seen you in 2 years, we fought you might have got killed or something."
"I wasn't killed or hurt, I'm still alive today."
"I'm so glad you're ok Victoria, I fought that I would never see you again."
"Do you know what happened to my mother?"
"Your mother's fine, and she's worried and thinking that you are dead."
"She's thinking that I'm dead?"
"Yes, the other horses think you are dead too. We'll tell all the horses that you're still alive"
"We should, but first. Let's go find my mother."
Ginger was looking at the grass she sighed "I wish Victoria was still around..."
"Mother! it's me Victoria! your daughter is alive!"
"Victoria?" Ginger then saw Victoria with Hank "VICTORIA!" Ginger ran up too Hank and Victoria and nuzzled her nose.
"I'm so glad you're alive, I fought you were dead."
"I fought you were dead too mother, what happened to you? did the man captured you?"
"He tried too, but Hank saved me."
"Thank you Hank, for saving my mother."
"Summer is almost over Vicky."
"Yeah, Fall is about to come in a couple of weeks." Victoria replied as she nuzzled Hank.
"Amber, Violet, Ruby, June bug and Twilight with their foals thinks you're dead too."
"Let's go tell my mare friends Hank." Victoria then galloped off.
"Wait for me Victoria!"
At the meadow near the lake the Shetlands and the other horses were happy that Victoria's alive.
"Hey everyone, my mate is alive!" Hank called as the horse cheered.
"Wow look at that you girls, our friend and hero is still alive."
"Hey girls, I've missed you all so much."
"We missed you too Victoria." June bug said.
"We fought you were dead."
"That's what we all fought you were dead."
"Nope, I'm alive today."
"But we're glad you're alive, and that the fact you are ok. You've been not here for 2 years and we got worried."
"I was thinking about all of you while I was somewhere else, I was in a barn with two new horse friends. They're names are Max and Lachlan."
'I know them, they're my only two friends that never be mean to me." Hank added.
"I heard from Max and Lachlan that they were friend to you til you ran away, and I ran away from the barn where they are and where you came from. Because I wanted to be back home, because you are all my family."
"I'm glad you came back to us, we fought you were dead and not alive."
"We all fought of that too."
"But I am glad we're back together." Hank replied as he nuzzled Victoria's nose.
"I'm glad to be back with you Hank."
"Me too Victoria, I'm glad that you're back with me."
"So Victoria and Hank, will you stay together in this meadow with us?"
"Yes mother, I will and take my father's place as leader of the heard with Hank by my side."
The horses cheered that Victoria and Hank are taking Black Beauty's place as leader of the heard.
"I'm glad that you Victoria that you and Hank, are taking your father's place as leader of the heard."
"I'm just glad I am back with you mother." Victoria nuzzled her mother and heard a mountain lion growling for food.
"Mountain lion!" Amber shouted as all of the horses ran away from the lion but Victoria and Hank didn't they have to fight it to save the heard from danger. Or the heard will all die trying to flee or fight.
Victoria and Hank started bucking, rearing and biting to scare the mountain lion. When the mountain lion tried to bite Victoria she read and stepped on it and it was very weak so Victoria threw it off of a edge and the mountain lion died.
"That's what you get for hurting my mate's father."
"We did it Hank."
"We sure did Victoria, I love you." Hank replied as he nuzzled Victoria and they hugged as all the horses came back from hiding from when they saw that Hank and Victoria have defeated the mountain lion.
"You to have got rid of the mountain lion, I've never seen anyone did that together before. Your father passed away while trying to fight off one two years ago."
"Victoria..."
A voice came from the sky as clouds begin to form into Black Beauty's face.
"Daddy?"
"You have forgotten me 2 years ago, and I've been watching over your mother and you with Hank together."
"Daddy is that you in the sky?"
"Yes Vicky, it is me in the sky. You're my true daughter and a hero."
"I am a hero daddy, me and Hank are heroes now."
"I've seen you and Hank fought off that mountain lion, and I am glad you two are not dead."
"Daddy who's the new leader of the heard?"
"You and Hank must take my place in the heard, as leaders. Because one day your mother can pass sometime at old age or something, so you gotta prepare yourselves for that."
"I will thank you daddy, for everything you thought me when I was a filly to mare."
"I love you Victoria, you're my daughter who has a heart that will go on with Hank's."
Victoria and Hank with the other horses watched as Black Beauty's ghost fade away, in the sky with the clouds.
"You'll do the right thing Victoria." Ginger nuzzled her daughter's nose as Victoria went at the top of the hill, she sighed as Victoria neighs as loud as she can as all the other horses neigh for Hank and Victoria as new leaders of the heard.
