Xqulth: So thank you for your reviews once again! I don't think there will be footnotes this chapter…kinda makes my life easier BUT oh well. School starts tomorrow so I probably won't be updating as much as quickly. It's actually a miracle that I got this much up as fast as I did… . .

Anyway, thanks for the review xbrowneyedvampirex

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

After lunch, I handed drake over to Stevie Rae and I went off to band. However, band was over almost as soon as it started for me. Which meant, I went to equestrian studies quicker. Was I mad at the Vamps for giving Drake a schedule so similar to mine? Not really. Did I hate Drake? No, I just dislike being around the same person for long periods of time. I walked into Lenobia's stable and sat on a barrel that we had there for racing. I pulled out my iPod and put my ear buds in, clicking the play button on the click wheel. Seeing Z walk in I waved and smiled. All of them were third formers, except for Drake, who just walked in.

Do you memorize theatrical lines
that seem to lead them in
Play the role with the good girl heart
oh the tangled web within
Who was it that lead you on
that made you want to hurt me so
Who are you out to forget
who's forgot you long ago

Everyone heard the sound of flying hooves and turned to see Lenobia come riding in on Larka, the black mare I had been in charge of last year. I walked over to Larka and Lenobia, taking Larka's reigns, patting her nose and nodding to Lenobia.

"Good evening, I am Lenobia, and this," She pointed to Larka, "is a horse."

I had heard this speech before and tuned her out knowing she'd tell me what she wanted me to do after she got them started. I tuned back in when she said, "Are there any questions?" No one answered, "Good. Then follow me."

Do you still feel it
calling in the act tonight
do you still feel it
seems like you've done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
seem like you've done this before
You've got breaking hearts all but down
and you've done this, you've done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore
You've got breaking up all but down
I can't love a thief anymore

I swung my leg up into the stirrup and pulled my body up into the saddle. Following them into the stables, I resisted the urge to hit Drake in the back of the head as I went to the tack room. Swinging out of the saddle, I untacked Larka and grabbed her halter from next to her stall. I led Larka from the barn and turned her loose into the paddock. When I came back, the students were hard at work mucking out stalls. Lenobia came up to me,

"Come meet the horse you'll be using this semester."

Do you collect the souls you've lost
in the top of your dresser drawer
count the number of tears displaced
on lonely bedroom floors
where the shape of your heart once was
slowly takes the place of you
will they hold the memories now
of the love I though I knew

I followed her to a large stall near the end of the row. Inside was a beautiful dark grey mare with a black mane and tail. I walked up to her in awe slowly with my hand outstretched. Behind me, I heard Lenobia say,

"This is Luce, she's a three-year-old Lipizzan I just bought recently. I figure you could help me during class on her. She'll take a bit of work, but considering how much time you spend here practicing fencing on my hay bales," She gave me a mock-stern look, "I figured you wouldn't mind."

"I'd love to Lenobia, thank you so much." I said, turning around only to have Luce head-butt me from behind.

"There's nothing for you to do today so make friends, Rei." With that she left and I went to the tack room to get a curry brush. Luce leaned into the brush with every swipe. She munched on hay as I sang softly with one of my iPod ear buds in my ear.

Do you still feel it
calling in the act tonight
Do you still feel it
Seems like you've done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
seems like you've done this before
You've got breaking up all but down
and you've done this, you've done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore
You've got breaking up all but down
and I can't love a thief anymore

I didn't know anyone was behind me until I heard Z's voice, "Rei, are you coming?" I jumped and turned all in the same movement,

"Wha?" I asked, my accent slipping,

"The full moon ritual?" I blinked and then it dawned on me,

"Oh yea-." I gave Luce one last pat on her back and went to return the curry brush back to the tack room. When I came back, me, Stevie Rae, and Zoey left to go to the Full Moon Ritual with the hope of not being late.

You make breaking hearts look so easy
You've got breaking up all but down
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
You've got breaking hearts all but down
You've done this, you've done this before

The most you could hope to be
now just a bitter sweet memory

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

Xqulth: Sorry for the short chapter, I wanted the Full Moon Ritual in its own chapter. The song is Breaking by Anberlin. So I will have a link to a picture of Luce on my profile if you're interested. Review all! They are what keep this fic alive…and the fact that I'm bored…not the point though. Oh! I got Burned the other day and just FYI, AMAZING! I'm actually Scottish so it makes it even better…Well, I'm Scottish via blood but sadly I'm an American and am stuck with a stupid American accent… *grrrr*
