A/N: I hope you liked the last chapter and once again the killing scene is in this chapter but it isn't horribly bad. I hope you like this one!

I looked at the bloodstain then I examined my body, I had nothing no cuts or bruises then I peered into the

stall to my right and the stall shavings were soaked with blood! There was so much blood it started to run in

my stall. Who was in my stall last… Ezra. NO! It isn't Ezra it can't be! Tears were running down my face. It

can't be her it just can't. My voice was crackly and stuffy. It felt like I died inside. She was my friend, the only

one who really listened to me. My heart was in my throat a hollow sad heart that I thought could never be

repaired. In my head I repeated one line over and over again. "It can't be her it just can't" I backed into a

corner in my stall. My face was stained with salty tears. I felt like nothing. The same feeling ran through my

body of when Honey died.

"I saw what happened" an anonymous voice behind me stated.

"What?" I turned around to see Spit Fire a new horse David had bought a few weeks ago.

"What are you talking about." I said shielding my face away from him hoping he wouldn't see the tears."

"Do you want the entire story Gem?" "It is a horrible thing and I don't know if you would want to hear it." Spit fire said

"Tell me Spit Fire I need to know the whole thing." I said quickly

"This is how it started: Paul the stable hand came through with grain and gave everyone grain. David told Paul

to give me the Athlete grain so I could perform better the next day and it would help my joints. Paul gave me

the regular Strategy grain so I didn't eat it. And I saw you started getting sleepy and I wasn't getting tired at

all. Did you notice any different taste to your grain Gem?"

"No I didn't notice any difference." I replied

"Well I think Paul put something in all the horses grain to make them tired. So they wouldn't wake up when he

was slaughtering his next victim!" Spit Fire said dramatically which didn't help matters at all

"Oh my gosh, you are…are right." "How could Paul do this!" "Tell me what you saw, did you see anything?" I said rather quickly

"I was just getting there I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't move so I tried to wake up Ezra and she

didn't move so I watched and waited and Paul came in the barn with a machete in his right hand he opened

Ezra's stall abruptly and raised the machete high in the air and with all his strength he blasted it down through

Ezra's neck like a hot knife through butter, then her carved an X on Ezra's shoulder then he started to slice her

into pieces for his amusement I guess. He is a sick sick man. And I am sorry you lost your best friend." Spit

Fire stated

It seemed like Spit Fire had no emotion but I examined his face and a tear ran down his strawberry roan coat.

I cried right in front of him I wasn't ashamed, if a stallion will cry right in front of a mare he has courage any

other stallion I know would hide his face and be ashamed. I couldn't believe just like that Ezra is, gone. I

turned around and looked out of my stall the mink ranch truck was driving away once again with my best

friend in the back of it. David came in by me and held a treat to my face I couldn't eat at a time like this so I

pushed my face into his chest and held it there taking in the moment of being safe and content. David always

made me feel better now what? Who am I going to talk to when I need it or someone to get the best gossip

from and most of all where am I going to get another best friend like Ezra and Honey? The day moved like

molasses I felt useless and sad. Then something happened that had only happened that once before. Spit Fire

said

"Hey Gem ah… um… how are you doing?"

I turned around and looked at him with a weird look.

"You want to know how I am doing?" I said astonished

"Um yeah what is wrong with that?" Spit Fire said

"Nothing I just thought, well never mind I am doing alright." I said

"Well, um yeah that is good." "That is good right?" Spit Fire said

"Yeah it is good." I said giggling at the end and then turned around. Wow I didn't think I would ever even

smile again! Then it seemed like Spit Fire made everything okay and he seemed to be the only thing on my mind.

A/N: I hoped you liked this one! Lots of drama huh? I know my slaughter scene really crapped out, I was

hoping to have something scary in my story but it didn't work. But now you have to see what happens! EW

Yay so much idea's! I can't wait to post again!
