When I had woken up in the morning, I found myself sleeping right next to Sam. Sam was facing towards me, with her hand resting on my chest. I moved one of my arms to see if I was still sore, and it was a big improvement since yesterday. I could actually flex my arms without hardly any pain at all today, and I knew it would probably be an all right day. Whatever I was going to be doing with Sasha today though, I have no idea, so there is no telling if I am going to be having fun today, but at least Sasha seemed to be fairly nice. Although, I knew that we would probably be doing a lot of Vlad's work though, but I was fine with that, at least I didn't have to train with him until tomorrow, so I could rest a little longer.

"Danny, time to get up," I heard Sasha holler as she came through the wall. She noticed Sam lying next to me, and she smiled at me. I just went intangible through the bed, so I wouldn't wake Sam up, even though I was surprised she didn't wake up from Sasha yelling into the room. Once we got into the other room, Sasha sat down on one of the chairs.

"You might want to bring her out here you know, because she is going to get really bored in there."

"Hey, did you have anything to do with that air?" I asked her suspiciously.

"What, the coldness? No, why?"

"I dunno, just seems like something you would do," I said, and I went into the other room so I could get Sam. I was feeling a lot better today, and I was hardly sore at all, which seemed weird for me to heal that fast, but it was a good thing, so I wasn't going to worry about it to much.

"Sam," I said to her, and shook her gently. She slowly opened her eyes, and she yawned, then stretched.

"Were you even sleeping?" I asked her.

"Yeah, kind of, I woke up after I noticed you were gone, but then I drifted back off to sleep again, it is hard to tell if it is day out or not since there are no windows," she said, looking around the dark room.

"Yeah, I know. Hey, you probably want in the other room, right? Because Sasha and I have to get going in a few minutes."

"Yeah, that would be nice," she yawned and then stood up out of bed, and once again stretched.

"I take it you slept good?"

"Yes, and you look a lot better today Danny."

I smiled at her, and then took her through to the other room, where Sasha was still waiting for me.

"Ok, lets get going," she rushed, and took my hand after she had gotten up. Sam ignored it, and just watched as we left through the door. Vlad was on the other side, and he nodded at us, but didn't say anything. Sasha led me to the back door, which was made totally of glass, and it actually looked pretty cool, but as long as I was in Vlad's house, I wasn't admiring any of his things. She opened the door, and slammed it, and I squinted expecting it to shatter into pieces.

"Don't worry, because even if it did, I would laugh since Vlad would have to buy another one," she told me, as she still lead me in the direction of a barn.

"Where are we going?"

"To get horses, we aren't working today, Vlad just wants us to use this day for you to get to know me better, remember?"

"Yeah, I guess. But I don't know how to ride a horse."

"Yes you do, it isn't that hard. When you want to turn to the left, you pull the reigns to the left to the right, you pull them to the right. When you want to go, you gently kick the horse's side with your foot and the harder you kick, the faster it will move. When you pull back on the reigns, the horse will stop."

"Ok, I think I have it," I replied, a little worried about falling off of the horse.

"Don't worry, the horses are all good, they aren't mean or anything. Besides, it is really fun to ride them, and we can talk on the way, huh?"

"Yeah, fine by me."

Sasha opened up the huge barn doors, and you could hear horses neighing inside the building, and hooves hitting the floor.

"How much horses does he have?"

"There are forty in here, and you can pick your own. Although, I was going to suggest our horse named Sam," She laughed.

"Yeah, very funny," I said sarcastically.

"Actually, really, she is a good horse, want me to show you her?"
"Sure," I agreed, and followed her down rows of horses. She stopped at a black horse, and pointed at her, "That is Sam, the only black horse we have. Well, the only pitch black horse. This horse has not one other color on it."
"Wow, weird," I said, but didn't want that horse. Yes, it's name was Sam and all… but I wasn't going to be having things named after her.

"You don't want her?"

"Not really."

"That's fine, you can go look, and let me know which one you like, because you will probably pick out the one horse that is hyper."

"There is one horse, huh? I bet I can find it."
"You go ahead and try," she said, and I saw that she was getting out a horse next to Sam, "But you aren't getting it, because I have him right now," She said, and led the horse over to an area where everything was hanging on a wall, including saddles, reigns, ropes and everything else that you just might need for a horse one day. The horse she had was really pretty, he was brown, with black speckles all of him, and he had a white patch around his eye. I looked at him, for a few minutes, but then decided to walk around, and find a horse for myself. I saw the horse I rode on the day I came here, and her name was Misty. I didn't even want to think about that day, so I passed by her really fast, choosing not to remember that day.

I turned a corner, and saw a horse that caught my interest right away. Her name was Phantom, and she was all black, with a white stripe going down her back, and the tips of her mane and her tail were also white. She had one green eye, and a bright blue eye that was really bright against the black fur. She was a pretty horse, and I opened up the stall, and she backed away to the corner.

"Having troubles?" I heard Sasha ask, and she came walking up behind me with her horse.

"Why is she backing away?"

"I don't know, I have never even rode this horse before. She has never allowed you to put anything on her, so I thought for it to be a bad idea to try anything. You have just picked out the weirdest horse in the barn," she laughed. I was determined though, so I stepped inside the pen, and stuck my hand out, but didn't get to close to the horse. The horse slowly moved her head forward to sniff my hand, and then she stepped forward to me. Once by my side, I pet her, and she was really soft. Her fur wasn't rough like other horses, it was more like a velvet feeling, which was really weird, since I had never known of a horse with fur like that before. The horse bent down on the floor, and waited for something. I looked up at Sasha confused.

"She wants you to get on her I think," she told me, although she didn't sound as though she was to sure of it either.

"But I don't have a saddle or anything!"
"Get on her, she doesn't like them, just try it," she suggested, and shrugged.

I looked at Sasha a little concerned, but then I hoped onto the horses back and she stood up. I lost my balance and had to grab ahold of her neck to keep my support. She didn't seem to mind, and Sasha just smiled at me, and kicked her horse's side to make it move. She rode it out of the barn, and my horse just followed, as though she knew where I wanted to go. She caught up to Sasha, and her horse really fast, and we were riding next to each other. When the river came along though, Sasha stopped, and so did we.

"You like this?" She asked me.

"Yeah, it is cool, but I wish I could control her!"

"You can, you can make her run, because I know you can kick that horse's side."

"Yeah, but left and right?"

"Figure it out on your own, I am sure you can," she said, and kicked her horses side again, but this time, mine just stood there, as though she wanted me to figure it out.

"You are one weird horse, do you know that?" I asked her, as though she was going to reply, and she just neighed at me, and I kicked her side, and she went running really fast after Sasha and her horse. I held onto her neck tight, until we slowed down.

"You okay?" Sasha laughed at me.

"Yes, but can you explain to me why we are riding horses, when we aren't even getting to know each other?"
"We will, we can talk right now," She said, slowing her horses pace down, so it was easier to talk.

"What are we going to talk about now?" She asked me.

"I don't know, whatever you want to talk about."

"Ok, then if we are going there, I want to know about your life a little. Did you have any sisters, or brothers?"

"Yeah, I have a sister named Jazz. Which, she is probably worrying about me right now," I said, and for the first time, remembered about her, and how her and my parents were probably looking for me.

"Oh, did you guys like each other?"
"She got annoying, because she was always getting into my business, but now that I think about it, if she would have know about Vlad and all that, at least she would know where I went. I should have told her more," I said, and got mad at myself. Why was I being such a jerk to my sister, who was only trying to help all the time? She was like a friend to me, and I am sure if I tried to like her, she would have been really nice.

"Ok, we can get off of that, how about Sam and You?"

"Haven't we talked about this before?"

"Yes, but why not talk about it more? I just want to know more about you and Sam, that is all."

"I don't want to talk about that either right now. Why can't we talk about you for a change? Why does it have to always be about me?"
"Ok, you want to know about me, there is nothing left to know about me! I am just a kid who can't live a normal life, that is about all."

"Fine, we can talk about me, but not about the people I am involved with, Ok?"
"All right, we don't have to talk about that. If you want to, we can talk about your interests if you would like. Just tell me some things about yourself."

"There isn't anything I would like to tell you. We aren't like friends or anything you know. I don't trust you learning about me still."

"What has gotten into you all of the sudden Danny? You used to think I was just fine!"

"I don't know what came over me," I said, and I got confused. I didn't even want to say those things, but something was telling me to say them.

"You are kind of weird Danny," she said, and turned away from me.

"No, Sasha, really, I'm sorry, I don't know what that was all about."

"Danny, look at your horses eyes," she said, changing the subject, and Phantom's eyes were both glowing brightly.

"Wow, that is weird," I said, but then changed to something else, "You want to stop and sit down somewhere to talk?" I asked her.

"Yeah, sure, why not," she said, and we hopped off of our horses, and I noticed how dark it had gotten.

"What time is it?" I asked her, looking at the sunset.

"It is 8:30, how fast time flies, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess," I said, confused. That was really weird, because just a few minutes ago, it was bright out. Sasha and I sat down on the grass, and she turned to me.

"Danny, have you ever liked any other girls, other than Sam?"

"Yeah, why?"
"Because, I was wondering… would you kiss me?"

"No, I can't Sasha."

"Ok, I will be right back," she said, and she left into the woods, came back, and looked like Sam, but I knew it was Sasha.

"Sasha!"

"Come on, it will be no different, I promise. I have never kissed a guy before in my life! Please Danny, just this once? No one will know."

"Sasha… I think it is time to go back home, I am to be back by nine, remember?"
"That is Vlad's schedule Danny, not ours. I can keep you as long as I would like to. IN fact, after you kiss me, we can go back, Ok?"

"Fine, but it is going to be fast," I told her, and didn't even want to think of betraying Sam.

"That is fine by me," She said, and she put her arms around me and pulled me in, to kiss me. When she kissed me, it was just like Sam's kiss though, as though Sasha could copy everything from someone and I totally forgot I was kissing Sasha. I returned her kiss, and put my arms around her too, but then I realized what I was doing. I broke free from her, and stepped back.

"You like my kiss?" Sasha asked me.

"How do you do that?"
"Because, I can do that if I want to. I like your kiss Danny. Maybe you should ditch Sam. I think we would be good together, don't you?"
"No, there is no way," I said, and headed back towards my horse, wanting to get out of there.

"Come on Danny," she said, and she walked up to me, and grabbed ahold of my arm.

"Sasha, stop it, what is wrong with you all the sudden? You used to like Sam with me!"

"I'm sorry Danny," she said, but then she leaned over and kissed me again, but this time I pushed her away. Phantom got up, and her eyes glew.

"Danny, what is wrong with you?"

"The question is, what is wrong with you Sasha?" I said, heading over to Phantom, but Sasha followed me still, and Phantom didn't like it. She walked in between the two of us, and I was a little surprised about it. Why did this horse want to protect me so badly, when I didn't even know the horse that much yet?

I hopped up on her, and she started to run away from the scene, as though she knew what I wanted. She wasn't headed back to Vlad's place though, she was running into the woods…

Ok, there it is! Big surprise coming next, and I need 5 reviews please!
