Rani

I walked into the barn as usual, when I noticed something was off, Jinger wasn't there sticking her head out. I ran over and saw she was down, and rolling.

"P-PETER!" I screamed, undoing the door and racing in, undoing the head collar latched onto the side, I went down by her head, and she gave me a breathy, painfilled whinny.

"Shh, shh, shh, girl. You're okay." I murmured, "We gotta get'cha up though." I got the head collar around her and with a bit of man-power from Peter and Jasper we got her up and I walked her back and forth in the barn, keeping her walking as Char was on the phone with George the vet.

"Why don't you let her rest?" said Alice stupidly,

"'Cause when a horse is down for we don't know how long, rolling like she was, she could have colic, which is the twisting of the intestines, which could've killed her, if we didn't get her up and moving. So shut up Alice." I snapped at her,

"Jazzy are you gonna let her speak to me like that?" she squawked,

"Ta be honest, I don't exactly blame 'er, Alice." he said as he sat on the bale of straw outside her stable. I kept her moving for god knows how long, when George finally showed up and gave us a diagnosis,

"It unfortunately is colic," I closed my eyes at that and focused on keeping her moving, I noticed her breathing wasn't as heavy, which was a good sign, "but seeing as Rani caught it early, she should be fine in a few days, but monitor her, because you know it might reoccur. Don't feed her but give her plently of water. If anything worsened, Mrs Whitlock you know what to do."

"Thanks George." I called quietly as Char walked him to his car and put her back in her stable but took her feed and hay-ledge out. I vaulted up and onto her trough and over the next few days kept vigil over her. She went back to normal after that much to my relief, I lessened her feed for a while and then got back into her stable, with her. I was falling asleep down beside her, since I hadn't gotten ANY sleep the last few days, she went down onto her side, I slipped from her shoulder to her neck and fell asleep.

JASPER

I jogged out to the barn, finding Jinger's door open, I went over and smiled at the scene. Rani had finally fallen asleep, but she had her hand between Jinger's muzzle and cheek, shavings in her hair, over her clothes. I got my phone out and took a photo and sent it to Peter and Char, and they came out. I walked into the stable and put my hand on Rani's shoulder, I scooped her up easily,

"C'mon Dapple, let's get ya to bed."

"N…no wha' 'bout Jinger?" she protested weakly, Char came up and kissed her forehead,

"I'll watch her, she should be up and about soon, get some rest Titch."

"M'kay." she murmured as she snuggled into my hold, I turned and went out the barn, and brought her back to the house, I put her in her bed and kissed her forehead, taking in her hay and warm apple scent and her boots off.

"G'night Dapple."

"Night Jay."

She slept for about sixteen hours, having been up 3 straight days. I had missed being on the ranch, the smell of dirt, hay and horse; a welcome from the smell of fumes and hundreds of humans that surrounded me constantly. She came out to me on the porch, with a pair of three quarter stressed out jeans, a blue paint-splattered tank and her hair in a fishtail. She turned her back on the railing and jumped up. Her eyes saw the colour of my eyes, I hadn't needed to hunt, for about two weeks, which was a major stretch from three days back in Forks.

"You need a hunt, Jay." she whispered as her warm finger ran under my eyes. She looked calm, but underneath, there was worry, pain and a small amount of calmness.

"Why do you feel pain?" I whispered back, standing straight to stand between her knees, she gave me a tired smile and shook her head,

"It's stupid."

"It's probably not, Miss Rani. Tell me?"

"I…it hurts me to see you in pain. I don't know why but, ah forget it." she shook her head and tipped her head onto my chest, I brought her in for a hug and whispered into her toffee coloured waves,

"I'll go tonight with Emmett and Peter." she nodded and kissed my cheek,

"Thank you Jay." We sat there for about twenty minutes and then her stomach groaned.

"Titch come get some breakfast." called Char from the house, Rani sighed but moved anyway. I followed her in, Peter had the radio on and Phillip Phillips was playing,

"Oh I can play this on my guitar." she exclaimed as Char handed her a bowl of cereal and started to cut fruit up, while eating her cereal, she started to play the chords on an imaginary guitar, mouthing along with the radio, till Peter shoved a spoonful of cereal into her gob and caused her to choke.

"Eat." he laughed.

Okay so sorry this chapter is shorter than the others but it's kinda just a filler. Don't forget to make me happy and review. You know you want to...
