Chapter 20: Stall Guest
Casey POV
Leaving? How could we be leaving? Were they ever going to tell me that we were moving? So many questions ran through my head as I ran down the street praying that no cars came by, especially no expensive cars driving way over the speed limit. I really hoped that they wouldn't come looking for me. I just needed to be alone for a while. I needed so time to think. To sort everything out in my head.
I walked up the long gravel driveway to the barn and opened the door. I was extremely happy that we had picked for me to ride at the barn right sown the street. When I opened the door I saw that the barn was in was in complete darkness. Everyone had gone home for the day leavening the horses nibbling on hay in the quiet night.
I flipped my hair, drenched from the rain, out of my face and fumbled around trying to find the light switch. I found it and flipped in on. A few confused faces stared at me. I walked down the aisle to the very last stall. I heard a familiar greeting and saw my favorite spotted face. I smiled and wiped the tears from my eyes. Catty didn't need to see me crying like this, I wasn't a baby.
I undid the latch outside of his stall and let myself in. I walked over to Catty throwing my arms around him in a hug. He pulled his head away from me and back to his hay. I laughed quietly. Classic Catty. I stroked his neck and back silently deep in thought for awhile, before retreating to the back of his stall and sitting down in the hay.
I sat quietly watching Catty eat just thinking. How was I going to be able to leave him? My school and friends, well I would go to a new school and meet new friends, but with Catty I didn't know what I would do without him. A bond like ours is a once in a life time thing. I would never find a better friend than that pony. I loved him so much. Nobody, certainly not another pony, would change the way I felt about him.
I soon began to drift away into sleep. I was almost in the comfort of unconsciousness when I noticed something. Catty had grabbed the blanket that hung in the front of his stall. He walked toward me and placed it on my lap.
"Thanks boy," I whispered gently stroking his nose before falling asleep.
The next morning I felt a pull on my sleeve. It was still dark outside and I looked up to see Catty. He pawed at the ground. He was bored. I laughed at him and stood up. I realized that there was hay on my lap and Catty was jerking his head. Offering my breakfast.
"Catty, you really are a great host, but I'm not a horse. I don't eat hay and I don't live in a barn. I think it's time I go home," I explained. Had I gone insane? Talking to a pony. Well, he was an exceptional listener and had a good sense of humor. I gave him one final hug and walked toward the door. Catty began to paw the ground and whinny.
"Do you want to come? I'm sure nobody would mind if I borrowed you," I said grabbing the lead line from the front of his stall. I clipped it to one side of his halter and tied it on the other end. I led him out into the yard after leaving a note on Catty's stall door explaining that I had taken him for a trail ride. I sung up onto his back and nudged him in the rips and we were off.
I took him through the back woods it was longer and I knew I was in big trouble. The Cullens were probably looking for me everywhere! We trotted through the woods and I saw the treetops Jasper had taken me to two years ago. I would never forget that day. It was the day that I came face to face with the Volturi and had promised that by the time I was an adult I would be a vampire. I never regretted that promise.
I urged Catty forward and we cantered through a field. His canter was unbelievably smooth. It was like sitting in a rocking chair that was moving forward. I had no problem riding him without a saddle. I often rode him bareback like this when I had to put him in the pasture. His was inconveniently the farthest away from the barn and even though you get there fast when you ride you still have to walk all the way back.
"Hey boy we're here," I said seeing the house at the end of the trail. I reached down and pat his neck. As I rode into the yard I saw Rosalie looking out the window. She rose from her seat when she saw me and came running out. I leaped off of Catty's back and ran to her.
"I'm so sorry Rose," I sobbed as she hugged me.
"It's okay, but if you ever scare us like that again," she stopped as Emmett had come from behind her and was giving us both a bear hug.
"Emm can't breathe," I choked out and he set me back on the ground.
"Well who do we have here?" He asked eyeing Catty as he stood there debating whether or not Esme's flower garden would taste good.
"Emmett be careful!" Rosalie snapped and Alice hugged me from behind.
"CASEY I MISSED YOU!" She squealed.
Carlisle and Esme stood on the porch. Esme ran to me and took me in her arms. So cold, but yet warm at the same time.
"Alice will you take care of Catty why we all talk inside," she asked her arms still around me. She took my hand and led me inside. I knew I had been wrong to say that I didn't want to be a Cullen, but I also knew that I was forgiven.
"I'm so sorry, but I just needed to get away and think," I said sitting on the couch with Rosalie and Edward.
"We understand that, but we had no idea where you were," Carlisle replied.
"I know I should have come home, but I wanted to sit with Catty for a little while and I fell asleep; I guess maybe I should have called," I explained. "I know what I did was dangerous, but I couldn't think it was too much. I just wanted to be with Catty, I love him so much and I don't want to leave him."
"I know you don't want to leave but we have to. I know you understand that. We can stay an extra two weeks so you can ride Catty in the show, but we will have to leave right after that and Catty will have to stay here." Esme said softly. I would still have to leave, but Catty and I still had two weeks together. I smiled at her.
"Stupid horse!" I heard Alice yell form outside followed by a crash. We all jumped and ran to the door. Alice was lying in what was left of the shed and Catty was cantering around bucking. I ran down the stairs and he came trotting right to me.
"What did the evil vampire try to do to you?" I asked smiling at Alice who stuck her tongue out at me.
"He wouldn't let me ride him!" She yelled back.
"Correction Alice, he let you ride him you just had no idea what you were doing!" Emmett said laughing.
K everyone if you are reading this you have found the bottom of the page with my inportant information! I have had a few requests for Bella to be in the story! Well, I did think of this, but I realized that having a little human girl in the events that happen in Twilight and the others I'm not listing all the books too tired for that. So I was thinking that maybe if you all want more of Casey that I can have a sequal! The sequal would include everything that happens in the books, but of course you have to remember that accroding to Alice the guture is always changing so me adding a characetr into the seris can change quite a few thnigs! Nothing too major though just changes like Casey goes with Alice, Jasper, and Bella to Pheonix or somthing! So don't be terrfied or anything! I'm going to post a poll on my profile asking if you want a sequal so if you want more remember to vote and if you absolutely hate my writing (i don't understand why you would read 20 chapters of it though!) remember to vote no!
IT'S ALL UP 2 U GUYS! I'M CONTENT ETHIER WAY!
