A/N: Hello again! Ready for another chapter? This story is evil to write because of Vaughn's odd schedule on the island! I wish he was always there, it would be a lot more entertaining. Don't worry though, I will squeeze in as many Vaughn and Chelsea moments as I can while he IS on the island. Other than that, I'll try to make the days go by quickly. (: thanks for reading! I love you all! And I appreciate your reviews! Thank you!

Chelsea POV

The next morning I rolled out of bed at 6 am and pulled on my clothes for the day, and got ready quickly. I patted Mello's butt when I passed by him and he jumped up and followed me out the door.

Before even checking the animals I walked to town, where I saw Gannon outside at his work bench.

"Hi, Gannon." I said quietly, not wanting to startle such a large man wielding a hammer.

He turned, "Hi Chelsea! How are you?" He grinned. It was still so funny to me, such an intimidating man had such a sweet attitude.

"I'm okay. I was wondering if you could build a fence for me? Like a big area I could plant grass in for the animals to graze?"

He smiled broadly, "Of course I can. How big do you want it?" He asked.

I thought for a moment, I hadn't really even summed up the size I had available.

"Hey, nothing's going on right now, why don't you take me up to the farm and I can size it up myself." He offered, already walking towards the farm. I followed obediently and noticed his hair was already completely gray, and he was going bald. I felt bad. He was in his 50's clearly, so it wasn't entirely abnormal. It just seemed odd to me, his daughter couldn't be more than five years old. I wondered the story behind that.

"Eliza is probably still asleep, it takes more energy than I have in me to wake that angel up." He said fondly, as if hearing my thoughts. I wondered if he she was difficult to wake up because she liked sleeping, or because she was so precious while asleep. I assumed the latter judging by his dreamy smile. I blushed a little, feeling like I was intruding on some private thought. I had never seen someone love their child this much. That sounds depressing, but in all honesty it was new to me.

We reached my farm and I walked up to the large grassy area next to the barn.

"Just here." I gestured largely to the area.

He nodded, "Pretty big area, you're gonna plant grass in here?"

I nodded, and watched him calculate things in his mind.

"This isn't too tough of a job. I'll have to gather materials for a while today though, I'll be over around 3 o'clock. Tell that brother of yours." He explained.

"I sure will, you can talk to him about the price, too." I smiled.

Gannon laughed deeply, a hearty belly laugh. I appreciated it.

"See you!" he said walking off.

"Bye!" I called and walked towards the horse barn. It was nearly 7:30 now.

I opened the door and went in, and took the two mares outside again, using the same rope and tied them to the same post. I rubbed their snouts a little bit before I went back in the barn for the steed.

I narrowed my eyes at him as I walked in, he already seemed rambunctious. I held out my hand to him and he just stared at me.

"Look, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Either way, it has to get done. I'm trying to clean out your living quarters, this is for you. I'm the good guy, here." I muttered walking towards him, he shuffled away.

"Alright, so the hard way," I mumbled and held both arms out. He snorted angrily. I held the rope tightly, ready to throw it around his neck. "Come on." I muttered inching closer and then tossing the loop.

He whinnied loudly and reared, then charged past me to the open door.

I groaned and ran after him.

"Shit." I muttered as I saw the steed charge towards the field of crops. Mark would be livid. Speaking of Mark, where the hell was that bastard? This is his farm. Why am I the one chasing a crazy steed around? Oh yeah, because I'm the one that pissed him off…

"Get back here!" I yelled, picking up speed as the horse made a sharp right, narrowly avoiding a row of turnips. I was relieved that he hadn't destroyed the crops yet. I had a chance to save them.

"Stop!" I yelled, continuously. "I just want to help!"

I probably sounded like a crazy person, yelling at a horse that I just wanted to help it. I was making such a racket that I'm sure everyone in town could hear me.

"Please!" I shouted, the horse was now trying to run behind the barn.

I was getting tired of chasing it everywhere. I ran in front of the barn to intercept it when he came around. I ran in between the coop and barn and collided with the charging horse. I was slammed backwards into the field and I crushed a few crops. The wind was knocked out of me momentarily and I took a moment before I sat up, gasping for breath and looking around for the crazed horse that was probably wandering around town wreaking havoc on the islanders.

To my surprise, and dismay, the steed stood still with a rope around its neck. On the other end of the rope stood Vaughn.

"You should be more careful." He grunted. I stood up, brushing the dirt off of myself, and looking at the potatoes I destroyed.

"I should," I agreed "but I just have so much playing with crazed animals. I can't get enough."

He sneered, "It isn't crazed. It's been mistreated."

"Oh, like I didn't notice that." I snapped.

"You were chasing it around the fucking farm!" He yelled.

"I had to take it from its barn to clean its disgusting living area!"

"There are other ways to do it! You could have killed yourself!"

I sucked in a sharp breath, and bit my lip.

His eyes softened for a moment, "Are you alright? You fell pretty hard."

"I'm fine." I snapped, reaching for the rope.

"Whatever you say. Just be careful." He grumbled, eyes falling dark again, as I snatched the rope.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." I muttered as he turned to walk away.

Suddenly he stopped and turned around, there was an emotion in his eyes that I couldn't really decipher up until this point; pain. "I don't know why you think you're fucking invincible. But you're not. Shit happens all the goddamn time."

And he walked off, leaving me confused as hell, with a steed that was beginning to get restless.

Vaughn POV

I could hear the screams coming from the farm as I began to walk down to the dock to catch my boat. It was time again to leave the Island of Hell.

"Stop! Please! Stop!" I wasn't quite sure how to react to whatever the hell was going on up there. But if she was getting raped or something and I just walked on, I would be an even bigger douchebag than I already was.

I sighed and began walking to the farm. I swear to fucking God if she is not being murdered, I will do it myself. If I miss this boat I will have a very good chance of losing my job, and having to stay on this island with Mirabelle and Julia forever. I shuddered at the thought.

I arrived on the farm and saw the mares outside their barn again. I walked further in and saw Chelsea get rammed into, by a fired-up black steed.

She hit the ground with a shatteringly loud thump and didn't move for a few moments. My eyes widened, but I watched as the horse began running in her direction again, it would trample her.

I threw my lasso around its neck and yanked back, it reared and snorted but slowly backed up to my side and stood.

Chelsea was sitting up now, looking around, confused. She must have had the wind knocked out of her. Jesus, it's like every time I saw her she was doing something stupid as hell, and I had to fix it.

Her eyes settled on me, and narrowed. Why the fuck was she glaring at me? All I've ever done was help her. And insult her, but she insults me, too. God, girls are fucking impossible.

She stared miserably at a pile of dirt that used to be a crop. Her hair was all over the place, and she was futilely trying to wipe dust off of her pants.

"You should be more careful." I grunted at her.

To my surprise, she looked sad for a minute, instead of saucy, "I should," she mumbled, "but I just have so much fun playing with crazed animals. I can't get enough."

There it was. There was her attitude. Back on track with that, she never disappoints.

"It isn't crazed, it's been mistreated." I narrowed my eyes. I hate when people accuse animals of things like that.

"Oh, like I didn't notice that." She snapped, hands on her hips. She just riled me up so much, I couldn't stand it.

"You were chasing him around the fucking farm!" I yelled.

"I had to take it from its barn to clean its' disgusting living area!" She snarled, accusatory.

"There are other ways to do it! You could have killed yourself!" I shouted.

She recoiled, and bit her lip, breathing deeply. Her green eyes were even bigger than usual, and the shone with an emotion I couldn't quite put my finger on…

"Are you alright? You fell pretty hard." I asked quietly.

All previous emotion fled her face, "I'm fine." She snapped, and reached out for the rope with a long pale hand.

"Whatever you say. Just be careful." I grumbled. She was so stubborn, she never listened to anything. She got knocked to the ground by a fucking horse, and she still thinks she's just fine. She reminded me of my mother. She always used to do whatever she wanted to without thinking of consequences or anything. She always brushed it off, too, if I tried to say anything to her about it. I was not in the mood to think about that today, I mean, I always did, every single day, but I just didn't want to today… so early, too. I began walking out of the farm.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine." She mumbled, as I departed.

My mother had said that to me a few hours before a serious car crash she had gotten into. She almost died from that, and I would have, too. She just wouldn't listen. I stopped and turned to Chelsea.

"I don't know why you think you're fucking invincible. But you're not. Shit happens all the goddamn time." I said to her, and walked away, still thinking about her eyes and the emotion I couldn't quite understand until just now; pain.

A/N: Hmmm maybe Chelsea and Vaughn are similar. They are just both too stubborn to realize it! Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this chapter. Anything you particularly liked or disliked? Anything you would change? What do you think is going to happen with Chelsea and Vaughn further on? Anything you wish to tell me, I'd love to hear. Reviews are my favorite. Thank you all!
