March 5, 2011 - Sorry about this. I noticed some mistakes so I fixed them. I had to delete the first chapter 6, but now it's back up. I put the original Chapter 6 up on February 22, 2011. If there are any more mistakes that you notice, please let me know.

Several days later, the majority of the Elys, meaning the boys, were out on the range fixing something their dad asked them to. Their mother is at school, gathering some work to bring home. Their dad was out with Wyatt at the hardware store across from Phills Fill Up. Apparently there is some new gadget the seems useful to have around a ranch, though the boys don't know what it is.

Anyways, as Jake followed behind his family with the black stallion several days ago, he wondered where the horse would go, if he would stay with them, or go back to the neighbors. It turns out that the man, Vernon, would like it if they kept the horse on their ranch. Guess they didn't want to take care of a horse with their son gone, who was the main carer of the stallion.

When they got to the ranch, Kit had come up the Jake and told him to release the rope that is attached the to the black. He did so, and the horse didn't leave, just wandered around, seeming to know where the ranch boundaries are. When they went to bed that night, Jake had went out and put the horse in the corral they used to introduce new horses to the ones they already have,

Now, days later, the horse was happy where he was. He was in the corral still, though he could leave if he wanted to, as they left the gate open. They did that when they noticed he seemed to gravitate to it throughout the day. The first, and last, time they had the gate closed, the horse had kicked at it, wanting in, so they now left it open, unless it was needed for a new horse.

While the brothers are out, and the parents too, Linc drove to the Dursley house. He remembered the black horse from the first time he saw him. He wants him. To own such an animal…the money he could get out of it. But first he had to get him, and as luck would have it, he is friends with the owner.

He drove up towards the front door and hefted his large self out of the car frame. He made his way to the door and knocked, huffing.

"Hi Linc, come in, come in. Vernon is in the kitchen eating. Would you like some lunch?" The woman, Petunia asked.

"Sure, Petunia." With that, Linc walked into the kitchen and sat beside Vernon. "So, Vernon, I saw that horse of yours a while ago. He a beauty."

"I know, though he's good for nothing. Thank the heavens I don't have him anymore." Vernon muttered, his attention captured by the food being placed in front of him.

"What? You don't have him anymore? Why ever not?" Linc could see his plan fail right there. He had been counting on Vernon to have the horse, but if he doesn't, then he'd have to find out who had him, and hopefully buy him.

"I don't have a use for him. We're rich enough to not have to work, and it would look bad if we kept him and used him for nothing." Vernon said around a mouth full of food.

"I'd of bought him. Who did you sell him to, then?" Please, let it be some person who is easily bribed. If that bothersome girl has him, I'll never have him. She'll have both of them…

"I sold him to the youngest Ely, Jake. Seemed to want him. Got some money for him. Don't really care, just glad I don't have the fr-horse here." Vernon stumbled over the word, forgetting the horse is actually his nephew.

"Do you have a bill of sale?" Fuck, that boy is just as bad as the girl..

"I have it. It's all official. I'll never get him back." Vernon sounds ridiculously happy about that.

Linc left the house in a bad mood.

He decided to just go over there and try the horse out. Nobody was home, so he was able to do what he wanted.

He drove the short distance and is relieved to notice the major horses and cars are not there. The black he wants is in the corral, though the gate was left open slightly.

He walked over to the barn, and found tack he can use on the horse. He walked back out and placed the tack on the rails. He then used the lead rope tied to the rails to tie the horse in place.

Once the horse is tacked up, he then mounts and lands heavily on the horses back.

The stallion panicked at the unknown person on his back, and bucked and reared, trying to get the man off his back.

He ran around the corral, and burst out of the gate, still bucking his heels. The man jerked back on the reins, tearing his soft skin around his mouth. The horse kept backing up as the man hadn't let up on the reins. His head is bowed towards his chest.

The man then jerked the right rein, jerking his head to the right. He then did the same with the left. The man kicked his side, trying to get him to run, but the horse couldn't as the reins were again bowing his head to his chest.

Jake has had a bad feeling since he and his brothers left for the range. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that it has something to do with the black stallion he now owns. He had been surprised when the man had sold the stallion to him. The man wanted two hundred dollars for the horse. Jake bought him, with the permission of his father.

Now, Jake and his brothers were on their way back home when Jake felt something, something to do with the bad feeling. He stopped Witch, and shushed his brothers. He listened intently, before setting Witch at a lope straight ahead. His brothers shared a look before following their little brother.

Jake skidded to a stop in shock at the sight in front of him. There is his new horse, all tacked up, with, of all people, Linc Slocum on him. Kit had told him that few people had ever ridden the stallion, and people that had ridden the horse without permission had been damaged somehow.

Sorry for the long wait. Couldn't think of any ideas for the chapter.

Please read and review.
