A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't updated! I've been really busy and when I did have time I had writers block that just wouldn'y go away! I still had it when I began this, so thats why it's not my best work. I know the whole horse thing is probobly really boring to everyone, but I won't be writing much about the horse maybe a chapter here and there, but they will acctually have some meaning and importance to them! I just wanted to find a way to introduce nine year old Casey adn this is the best I could do! I promise I'll update really soon as I'm going to start chapter 13 right now! I hope my writers block is gone!
Loving an Angel
Chapter 12: It Would Be My Luck
Esme POV
Time kept flying past us and it was hard to believe that it was exactly two years ago today that we had met Casey Marcks, who was now officially Casey Elizabeth Cullen! She had grown so much in the past two years, but was still extremely small and thin for her age. She had matured also and didn't need as much assistance in certain things, such as picking out her clothes, something Alice wished she didn't grow out of. The games we played had also matured, but they were still just as fun. Emmett and Casey still played baseball and football, along with a few additions such as soccer and tennis. She was about to begin the fourth grade and had made many great friends in school since she came back after living in that terrible girl's home for a month. She was very smart and enjoyed reading and writing and studied very hard with Jasper as her "study buddy" as they called each other. She also was very popular in school, but the fact that her family was inhumanly beautiful might have something to do with that. Things were great.
Casey kept us very busy and we were always running around somewhere! She was always going somewhere. Her friends houses or dance class or up to the barn. Her favorite activity is horseback riding and actually it is my least favorite. I could just see her getting paralyzed or killed by that animal, and there's always the possibility that we might kill the horse too! She had just switched into an advance riding class and was learning to jump on the new pony she just started riding, named Catty Wumpas. I hate watching her ride, but I'm afraid if I leave it will just happen to be the day she gets hurt!
Rosalie and I were in the Mercedes driving Casey to her horseback riding lesson. She was excited because it was going to be her first jumping lesson where they actually jumped; I on the other hand was not so excited even though it was going to be a low jump it might as well be fifteen feet to me! We got out of the car and walked into the barn. My throat started to burn with thirst as I sensed the horse's blood around me. I quickly diverted my thoughts from the blood and back to how much I hated that this just had to be the thing Casey picked to do as one of her hobbies. Casey went into the tack room and brought out her saddle, bridle and brushes to clean the horse with. The horses were always skittish about us when we were around them, but Catty didn't seem to notice. Emmett always teased that Catty's trust in us was a sign that we would own him some day, but I always disagreed saying that we would never own such a thing. Rose pat his nose gently and fed him a peppermint as Casey worked on cleaning him and tacking up. We then walked with Casey as she led the little grey and black spotted pony into the ring and mounted him. Rosalie and I sat as they began riding around the ring at the different paces. They each took turns jumping over the cross rail placed in the precise center of the large riding ring. I closed my eyes when it was Casey's turn and didn't open them until Rose touched my arm telling me it was okay.
"You know Esme you don't have to come and watch her every lesson someone will always be here if she does get hurt, you don't have to torture yourself." Rose said as she watched as each horse cleared the jump effortlessly.
"I don't care it would be my luckā¦"
"I know; it would be your luck if she ended up falling the one time you weren't here." She said sarcastically.
I pushed her gently on the arm and we laughed as the lesson came to the end. We walked back down the aisle in the barn to the very end where Catty's stall was located. Casey was already hard at work cleaning her favorite pony when we arrived with a big smile on her face.
"Guys it was so cool!" She said.
"Really, tell us all about it!" Rose said with her enthusiasm as strong as Casey's.
"It was like flying and it wasn't that hard Catty took care of me!" She exclaimed hugging the pony around the neck closely. I would suffer through watching her risk her life if I could see her smile this wide and be this happy every time she was on or around that little horse. She seemed to fit in really well with the barn setting and she seemed to enjoy it too!
As we pulled out of the barnyard we began to talk about school, as she would be entering the fourth grade in a short week and would move to the upper version of her school with many new kids.
I bet you can guess where I'm going with the next chapter! If not well heres a hint read the last sentance again! Ahh get it? Good! Okay so everyone reveiw and tell me what ya think! I promise any future horse chapters will be 10000% better than this one you all just needed to meet Catty! I chose Catty's name when I first started writing this srtory and I was possibly going to switch horses fronm flash to catty, but I'm keeping my Flashybo, so thats why the horses name is Catty Wumpas! Oh and Catty is a POA (pony of the americas) if you were wondering! He's adorable!
Finally finished Inkdeath and I'm re-re-re-rereading eclipse so I can take an AR (acceledrated reader) test on it! we are also reading The Giver in my class and it's pretty good a but confusing though ;)
