A/N: Short Sweet and To The Point.
Loving an Angel
Chapter 28: Catty
Casey POV
I slammed the car door shut as hard as I could and I ran into the barn. Where was he? Was he okay? I could her my family following silently behind me. They were worried, but they were worried about the wrong person. They were worried about me, even after they dragged me to the hospital just to find out that I was absolutely fine. I had bigger problems. Catty. He had fallen really hard and he might have broken his leg. I wasn't sure. I had fallen far enough from him that I really couldn't see what was happening.
I ran down the aisle to where I saw my trainer. She saw me and came toward me.
"He shattered his leg, Casey. The vet sedated him so he's asleep right now we needed you first before we could do anything more," She said. Rosalie put her hands on my shoulders and Alice was as usual right at my side.
"How bad is it?" Rosalie asked.
"Bad, we have to make a decision. You have to options in this case. I can go in and set his leg and we can try to fix it or we can do well you know…" The said as she left the stall.
"Fix him!" I yelled.
"Would there be any risk in having you fix him?" Rosalie asked.
"Yes, if things don't go perfectly we might still have to euthanize him and after that kind of procedure and healing he will never be the same. You won't be able to ride him and as he gets older he might be in pain."
"What do you suggest?" Alice asked.
"Considering that he is an older pony and isn't as strong as he used to be. The process of the procedure and the healing might be too much for him. I think it would be more humane if he was euthanized. I'm sorry I wish I had better news." The vet said looking down at me. The tears began to boil over my eyes.
"That's just a suggestion. He can pull through, it would be a miracle, but he can. I'll leave you alone to discuss it." She said as she went out the barn door,
"Rose we can't!" I said.
"Casey I think it would be better."
"Rosalie is right the vet said he would be in pain. You don't want him to live in pain for the rest of his life." Alice said trying to soothe me.
"Just think too your almost full grown. You'll have to become one of us soon and then we would have t sell Catty. Wouldn't you rather know he died loving you with you right here with him?" Emmett said.
"No I wouldn't! I rather him go on and live with another family!" I yelled at them. How could they do this?
"He wasn't going to live forever you know. Casey just some here. Look at him. He isn't fast asleep. Just look Case it hurts him. He doesn't understand what's wrong just that it hurts." Rosalie said. I looked into his stall. He laid on the ground his eyes were open but he looked tired.
"Casey just think of a wonderful pony like Catty who loved to run and jump and have so much fun being stuck in a stall for the rest of his life. He wouldn't be happy." Jasper said going us in the barn.
"But he'd be alive."
"Physically Casey, not emotionally. He would never be happy again." Rosalie said hugging me like she did when I was little.
"Your right I can't do that to him. It would be cruel."
"Sometimes, the best way to show someone you love them is by letting go Casey. And I know you love that pony, we all do. We want to do what's best for him." Alice said beginning to cry herself.
"Have you reached a decision?" the vet asked.
"Yes."
I was alone with the vet when she gave him the lethal injection. I stroked his face quietly. After the vet left and all the evidence of the blood from the injection was gone my family came in. Alice and Rosalie sat and stroked Catty too why I laid my head on his neck. Jasper and Emmett stood outside the stall crying. They really weren't as tough as they seemed.
"He looks so peaceful," Rosalie said. We laid his blanket over him and all of our ribbons and trophies were in the stall. His hair was still braided.
"He really was a great pony," Alice said.
"The best in the world." I said crying into his mane. I looked his eyes began to close slowly and I knew it was the end.
"Catty you're the best pony in the world and don't think I'll ever forget you because I never will! Never boy! I love you so much!" I blurted out quickly so he could hear. I hugged his neck as tight as possible and sobbed.
Nobody said anything for a couple of minutes. We all just cried.
"Casey I can hear his heart it stopped he's gone." Rosalie said. Alice put her arms around me and I leaned into her shoulder and we both cried.
"I'll never forget you." I whispered.
OMG I cried right through writing this and I still am! this has to be the most emotional chapter yet. sadly only two more chapters of this story before the sequel! I still need music and possible titles for the sequel.
Also I don't think I ever updated anyone on the person who stole this story. The account was deactivated before I got to yell at the guy, which is in a way good and bad. So no need to worry anymore!
