There's more to life than books by Kalan

Jake slammed his book shut with a sigh as he heard the high pitched giggling coming from downstairs again. It wasn't the noise that annoyed him, it was the tone that seemed to erupt out of them that grated against him and interrupted his studying. He was trying to work on an essay about the impact of magicians and magic coming out into the real world from where they had been hidden secrets. The more he read through the harder it was to try and come up with what he wanted to say when it all came down to it. It seemed as if it was just as impossible today as it had been the day he had first heard about it and not even watching various videos and one live demonstration had changed his mind about the fact.

The first time a magician had come forward it had been of course dismissed as nothing more than a skilled sleight of hand actor. It had only been after several tests and, though not confirmed, an apparent private military investigation of those who claimed to have the powers. It had been one time that he had felt some amount of disgust as he watched the news stations flash person after person doing impossible feats. By the end of it he had turned off the TV and retreated back into his studies as he tried to ignore the fact his rational world had been turned upside down. It made him frustrated and angry all at once as his classes started to reflect the differences.

Such as the class he was working on at the moment. He was stuck trying to write an essay about how the world had changed. What laws had been enacted? Who had become the leaders of the movement? How did it change the way the military worked? It was driving him insane trying to come up with enough things to write to flesh it out to reach the target length to at least give him an A. No matter how he felt he wasn't about to let his grades slip just because he thought an idea was ridiculous. He went back trying to work out exactly how he'd work out his argument to keep people from questioning if he'd done his research or not. He really didn't have to do research, he was stuck living with his very own introduction to the world of magic.

Another burst of giggling made him wince and then look up and towards he door. Why was Lisa here? There was no reason that she should be hanging out with Jane, his older sister, they weren't even the same age! He sighed and tried to go back to writing without thinking about the day that Lisa had happily bounced into the kitchen. The fact she'd come out to his parents had been a source of annoyance for him. Her magic was useless in his eyes and he was still half convinced it wasn't real. That somewhere there was someone who was having a huge joke at the world's expense. He leaned back and started typing again as he waited for the chattering girls to finally be quiet.

Lisa leaned back against the couch while she watched Jane form dancing horses of fire that danced around the ground for her amusement. She hadn't found it hard to get in good with the older girl at school. Ever since she'd come out as a mage she had seen Jake's sister standing outside of most groups and looking a bit lost. It was a shame considering that the girl had a quick wit and was always happy to chat. She was finally in Jake's house! She smiled a little shyly at the senior while she wrapped her arms around her legs and watched the magic horses rear and dance along the floor. One even looked like her own little Arabian mare. Jane was thoughtful like that when she displayed her magic.

"I don't know how you do it. Aren't you scared of magic?" She asked and rested her head right against the top of her knees while regarding the other girl.

"No, I mean I was really scared when we decided to come out, but it hasn't been as hard as I thought I would." The horses disappeared as the older girl sprawled out and made a face. "Well beside people acting weird around me. That part I could do without." She sighed softly.

"Well at least your family is supportive right?" Jane tilted her head a little bit curiously while she tested the water of leaning the conversation towards Jake.

"My parents are, and I think Jake thinks I'm faking it somehow still." Jane moves her hands up to pull at her pony tail and tightened it. "The last time we talked about it my parents were happy to find out I could do some pretty helpful things."

"Jake thinks you're faking it?" Lisa blinked her eyes rapidly at that, she thought Jake was smarter then that!

Lisa was a short pretty blond girl, her hair was cut into short spikes that she gelled on her hand and before high school she'd always been considered pretty. Once high school had started she found herself pushed to the back of what most people considered attractive. There were plenty of tall long haired girls that took most of the boys' attention. Those she had considered friends soon left her alone. She was too short, too opinionated, too weird. The weird part came from growing up on her parent's farm and spending almost all of her free time with the horses that she cared for. She loved them and they loved her just as fully back. It made her happy to be around them, she wished she could get others to like her as easily a the horses.

The only person in the entire class that didn't make fun of her and seemed to enjoy her company the few times she had a chance to offer it was Jake. He was sweet in a distant sort of way. He seemed to more be concerned with studying, his grades and losing himself in books. He'd come to the farm to do some research once and she found herself easily won over by his easy going smile and gentle ways. She hadn't met anyone in high school who had seemed to be both polite and easy going. His quiet voice had made her start to hesitantly fall for him, but when he'd asked her after her horses often after that she was entirely fallen in love. He never failed to inquire after certain horses by name and it meant the world to her.

"Oh he's just..Jake. I don't know how much you see, but he can be a little pest with the way he refuses to think about anything besides those books of his that are threatening to take over his room. He's tried I guess, but he still doesn't seem to care about anything besides his books." Jane drifted off and seemed almost hurt before shaking her head a bit.

"That doesn't sound like him, he's always really polite to me. You know, asking after Easter and he's thoughtful." She hesitated for a few moments but didn't add anything else beside that.

"You're not his sister. You should try being his sister. Then he just loses himself in those books of his. Your horse is different, that's a real animal he can touch. My magic is something he thinks about as if it were a joke." Jane flicked a finger a little bit, "Besides he's probably still working on that paper for four-H."

"No, I don't think that's it. He seems to like.." Lisa snapped her jaws shut and felt her cheeks darken to see the older girls dark violet eyes staring at her piercingly.

"Ohhhh, you like him don't you?" Thankfully there was only a hint of teasing in Jane's voice while she shifted on her hips a little but didn't bother to deny it. "Oh, Lisa...you really should try to restrain yourself. Jake's kind of odd you know. I don't think he'd ever really be interested in girls or even boys for that matter."

Lisa opened her mouth to talk but Jane distracted her with a swirl of magic before they went back to their companionable silence and at time laughter. Jane's words stung a little bit while she wrapped her arms more securely around her legs. She tried to figure out a way she might be able to get some attention away from Jake's books and towards herself. How hard would it be? She swallowed and decided it might work better if she just outright asked him what he thought about her. He seemed nice enough to her, perhaps he secretly liked her just as much and was just too shy about asking her out. He certainly didn't seem to ask anyone else out!

Jake wandered downstairs about an hour after he'd heard the last of the giggling from the pair of girls coming from the downstairs. It had taken him ages to finally finish up his essay and felt he could take a break without much lingering guilt. He didn't find the room abandoned as he had hoped, instead the girls were crashed out watching a movie. He stifled a groan as he padded towards the kitchen to avoid disturbing them or finding himself being teased or drawn into the movie. He had other things to do. He got all the way into the kitchen when he heard light foot steps behind him and he paused in the act of opening up the cabinet to glance over to see Lisa holding a mostly empty bowl of chips in one hand.

"Oh hey, Lisa." He gave a grin, it wasn't in him to be rude to the girl, he just preferred to be alone.

"Hey, Jake. All done with our homework?" She tilted her head a little while shyly moving into the kitchen and reaching for a bag of pretzel's.

"Yeah, it took a little time, but I finally got it done." He gave a lopsided smile while opening up the fridge on his search for a snack.

"I don't get how you do it, I mean you're way too exact. Don't you ever take some time to just relax and enjoy yourself?" She started pouring their snack while he pulled out some makings for a sandwich.

He liked Lisa alright, she wasn't as shallow as most of the girls in his class so he was far more likely to talk to her then the rest of them. She was even more interesting then most of the guys. She actually knew about horses and her farm. He'd spent a while there learning what she knew and found out that she had quite a lot of intelligence behind her quiet fade. It was unsurprising that she got such great grades in everything but math, but lately he'd gotten the feeling that she'd grown more interested in chatting with him. She went out of her way to make sure she was available to talk with him and never missed a chance to put herself forward when he needed a lab partner.

"Well you know how it goes, I like the idea of getting into the best school. I don't' want to end up going to community college." He gave a grin and set down his choices from the fridge. "How's Easter doing? She doesn't still have that sore hoof does she?"

"Oh no, she's actually due to get covered this weekend. We found a stallion that's compatible with her. We're hoping that she'll throw a good filly, we've waited for a while before letting her at her first stallion." Lisa's voice seemed almost casual, but the look in her eyes didn't match her voice.

"Oh that'll be awesome! I hope for the best. Are you going for a show horse? Or just wanting the experience." He didn't have to feign the interest in his voice at all.

"Umm show horse hopefully. The stallion's a real mover." She leaned against the counter so close that Jake almost felt the heat of her body so that he moved himself away a little to keep a polite distance. "Hey..uh..Jake. I had a question."

"Oh? What's that?" He moved to open up the loaf of bread and figured she was probably going to ask if he wanted to come and see the covering or birth.

"Umm..you know how homecoming is going to be coming up right." The voice was halting and hesitant causing him to pause. "I was hoping that you'd, you know, want to come with me?"

"Lisa.." he started as he felt his stomach turn over in a lump. He didn't want to have this conversation with her.

"No, I mean, Jake." She swallowed and her fingers gripped the bag of pretzel's tightly in her hands. "I really like you. You're nothing like everyone else. I just...I think we'd be really good together. I mean, if you want too. I know I'm probably not your type..."

+++++

Lisa thought she was going to be sick. The moment she opened her mouth Jake had started to look at her with wide eyes that showed a slight rim of white around the edges. It was as if he wasn't sure what his reaction to her should be. She instantly regretted ever bringing this up, he obviously didn't want to go out with her. The flash of panic in his eyes made her stomach clench up and she shrank back in against her herself as she waited for him to tell her exactly why she wasn't good enough for him. She tried to figure out if she could find a way to slink back into the living room where Jane was still watching the movie. Then she saw something worse in her eyes. Pity.

"Lisa...you're a really nice girl.." He started out and he moved back away from her. "It's not you, but I'm not really ready for a relationship."

"No..no that's fine." She babbled and took a step back as her face started o burn red.

"I just don't see any reason for it. I mean it'll distract from both our school work and it's not really that useful of an emotion you know. We're going to graduate soon and we have other things to work on." He tilted his head and his tone actually turned patronizing. "You've got to understand that I'm not into settling down into any sort of relationship. I don't think I ever will."

"Not useful.." She trailed off as her humiliation turned into confusion.

"Well exactly. It'll just cause trouble and end up becoming a problem. I need to concentrate on my school work. I'm not going to be stuck in this town forever you know." He turned away to start making his sandwich as if she didn't exist. "I'm sure you understand."

"Y-yeah, I guess so." She felt her throat tighten as she forced the words out. She didn't want to say them but all she could feel was mortification at his cool dismissal of her feelings.

She managed to stammer out a few words to excuse herself before she backed out of the kitchen and stumbled towards the living room again. She flopped down on the other end of the couch tense and unhappy as she could hear him making his sandwich. Didn't he even care how badly he'd hurt her feelings? Maybe he just didn't care about her feelings, all he cared about was his books. She closed her eyes while the show went on and she heard Jane shift on the couch, but the thankfully hadn't said anything. It wasn't until there was a final clattering sound Jake left the kitchen and some of the tension shivered out of her.

"What happened?" Jane hissed the words out to her and she flicked her eyes over to the stairs before back to Lisa.

Lisa shrank back against the couch and she tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to blur her vision. It was in a choking voice that she started to explain what she had just done. She felt even more stupid as she explained how she had pinned her hopes on going to the dance with Jake. A hand slipped over her shoulders and then pulled her in closer to the older girl's side as she began to cry. She had never felt as foolish as she did in that moment. She could hear the sound of foot steps upstairs while she tried to burrow her head just under the edge of his shirt and the hot tears rolled down her soft cheeks.

"Shhh its okay, Lisa. " The older girls voice was murmured against her hair as she was rocked back and forth against her side, "He just doesn't know how wonderful you are..."

++++

Far later in the evening after Lisa had left Jake ventured out of his room again. It was about time he was able to leave his room. He felt a bit bad about being so sharp with her, but he had thought of all the people in his class that she would be that one that would understand. He didn't really want to deal with the messiness of a relationship, he'd always made that clear. At least that's what he had assumed, but the moment he saw the dark red face and the widened eyes he'd reassessed the situation. Why couldn't she just be happy that they were friends? It wasn't as if he was the villain here! He took his plate down into the kitchen to find his older sister waiting on him.

"Did you have to be so cruel?" She asked as she stepped forward to block the exit from the kitchen.

"I wasn't cruel, I was just being truthful. I'm not going to lie to her!" He put his plate in the sink before turning to the fridge. He did his best to ignore the fact she blocked him from leaving, he knew from experience if he pushed her too much she'd get snippy.

"You could have been nicer about it." Her voice was still disapproving as he pulled out the jug of juice. He forced himself to ignore her as he poured a glass of the fruit punch.

"I told her how I felt, I can't help it she overreacted. I like her as a friend, I don't see any use to have a relationship." He kept his voice even.

Why did she always assume she was the boss whenever their parents left on a business trip? It was as if she thought she was the person in charge of everything and he had no say in anything. He never could figure out if it was because she was the oldest or the fact she could use magic. Whichever the reason he found himself starting to grow more frustrated with the attitude. He frowned at his glass before taking a sip and slowly turned around to find her staring at him with an almost pitying expression on her face. He didn't rise to defending himself until she broke the silence.

"There's more to life then sticking your nose in books, Jake, you're missing out on a lot of it. Why don't you take the rest of the weekend off from studying? Hang out with Lisa?" The suggestion made him almost laugh.

"I don't think she wants to see me right now, besides there's midterms starting next week." He frowned a little at the taste of the juice, great and to make matters worse it was starting to go bad by the taste.

"I think she will. I think you both are going to have a great weekend together." His sister gave a little smile as his world started to swim with darkness and he found himself struggling to grasp onto his consciousness. What the hell had she done?!

"Wh-what..." He stumbled slightly before her hands moved to catch him and slid a hand right under his arms to support him.

"You'll see, let's get you out of here before that potion takes effect." His last thought was that something was horribly horribly wrong and then the darkness took over his mind.

Jake woke up slowly and felt his naked body pushed against something hard and scratchy against his chest. He moved slowly and felt his body shift as if it felt heavy and strange. There was a sound of snorts and hooves around him and he finally got his head up to find himself staring at the worn siding of a stall. The scent of horse was rich on the air as he drew in a shuddering breath and panted it out again. He pushed his hands down into the clean straw as he forced himself up onto his knees and started to stand up when he heard movement behind him. He whipped around to see his sister leaning over the edge of the stall door.

"Don't worry, I've arranged things so they'll think you're supposed to be here." Her words weren't in the least bit comforting as he opened his mouth to ask who was they but found his tongue heavy. "Looks like it's right on track."

He opened his mouth to ask what was on track when he became aware that things weren't behaving the way they should be. Hundreds of ants seemed to be crawling over his skin, it itched, it tickled, it sent shudders down his spine and made him squirm back against the straw and part his lips open a bit wider to suck in a swift breath. His eyes flickered over towards his sister who shifted her gaze over his body in an almost clinical look. He started to squirm trying to get at the itch that was rolling along him. His skin felt tight and he looked down in shock as he watched a spot of darkness start to run along his chest where the heat was the worst. His lips peeled open as he let out a sharp cry of protest.

It almost looked like a spot in his vision, except the spot grew and spread wider as fur began to push out from his body, flat and a dark glossy black as it started to spread along his chest and arms and he could feel a slight ache in his fingers. They thickened, swelling as his nails started to grow harder and darker, more hoof like, his two middle fingers began to pull together and he let out a soft sound as the skin spread between them to form one thick finger rather than two. Before he could deal with even that the thick nails rolled down to start to form a single hoof. The fur coated the back of his hand as the joints felt heavy and strange, flexing them and let out a cry of shock. His shaft started to plump up in reaction to the change and he was left writhing and trying to hide himself in the hay.

He could hear his sister as she shifted and looked over him as he dropped his hands down while his entire arm changed. No he didn't have hands! Hard dark hooves started to form right at the ends of his hands and they rapidly lost all feeling. The blackness of the skin and fur started to spill outwards to run along his chest and belly, it went all the way up towards his neck where he lost sight of it. The next shock was his neck thickened and grew larger so that he felt his head growing higher into the air. Something soft and silky brushed against him while a mane seemed to form. He was changing space! Why was he changing shape? He groaned out as he felt his cock growing harder, almost painfully hard as the heat and itching never stopped.

He spread his lips a little, they grew heavier, thicker as they opened and he ran his tongue over them, licking just against the edges. They almost felt loose and he went cross eyed trying to watch, even as the noises of the barn grew sharper. He could hear his sister's breathing and the sound of shifting animals around the barn. He twitched an ear to follow the noises instinctively. He twitched an ear! His tapered ear swiveled to one side on its own and the weight felt odd on top of his head. He felt a tear roll out of his eyes as he tried to move a hand up to feel but they were hooves. All he could do was move them on his head to feel what had happened. They had grown and pulled up higher on his head. He was left watching in horror soon saw his nose growing broader and his lips pressing out.

His nose broadened from a line that ran down to a short spread nostrils, growing broader as the ebony fur spilled over them and his lips opened as an ache started to form in his jaws. His teeth drew inwards and his tongue felt heavier thicker, trying to move it to find out what was wrong when he felt a gape in his teeth themselves! He was losing teeth! No they were being drawn inwards! He shook his head roughly and opened his lips to beg his sister to stop and horrifyingly a whinny erupted from his lips, loud and rasping. He moved his arms trying to cover his mouth in his horror, but his elbows wouldn't bend right! A large heavy muzzle rested on his face as his eyes blurred and changed into something else.

An itching sensation went along his head and neck, his hair pulled up in some places and grew out in others. A long thatch of it grew down to spill along his forehead so that he was. Why was she doing this to him?! His eyes felt strange, to the sides of his head so he had to turn his muzzle slightly look down his body as his feet started to grow warmer, almost hot and he stifled another embarrassing whinny as he watched his toes thicken, the nails spread and joining together into a solid black hoof as he lost feeling. That was the most disturbing part. The loss of sensation terrified him as he kicked and twitched his entire leg.

He tried desperately to move his toes, tried to flex them but he couldn't even feel it! He moves his legs and his hooves just grazed against the leather without a feel for the material beneath it and then there was the strangest sensation of pressure building. It started on his legs and moved up in a line, trailing against his spine so he tried to arch up but the restraint across his chest kept him in place. His legs grew heavier and heavier until he watched his foot lengthen, the hoof at the end going farther away as his knee drew closer to his body. Making what used to be his toes his entire foot, or hoof rather as his ankle grew larger and stronger, both of them seemed strange. The joints weirdly put together so that he tried to flex them and pull them up.

So entranced was he with the legs that he missed the changes as they started to trickle and tease over his balls and hardened cock. It was only when he felt a brush of fur against the head of his shaft did he turn his attention and watch black flesh start to roll over his girth and terror welled up inside of him. His cock was hardened with strange humiliating pleasure as the dark black flesh and he shuddered with a low groan. The dark flesh spread over his tip and made him squirm as a clear drop of precum bubbled up to spill down against his stomach. He was done worrying about being watched. All he could do was watch in that horror as his body continued to change and rapidly grew larger.

Jake felt himself growing more sensitive, even the brush of the tip against his stomach caused him pleasure as warmth started to grow in his belly, but even as he watched his swollen cock started to retreat. He saw a thick roll of flesh starting to form at the base of him, and licked his now thick and heavy lips. Even as he thought it the dark length started to retreat back towards it, pulling along his belly. The sheath pulled up just over the girth of him while his balls started to grow massive just in front of his eyes. He'd been so worried about his cock he was lost in his other changes until he had to lunge upwards. His forelegs pushed against the ground as what had been his feet now worked as hind legs.

His body worked strangely as it felt larger and heavier. He looked over at his sister to find her looking smaller as pressure suddenly flooded him. He tried to turn his head around on his long neck and watched as a long glossy tail spilled outwards from the curve of his haunches. The edges of it brushed back and forth against his knees while he squealed out in terror at what was happening to him. How could his sister do this to him!? The icing on the cake was the fact he could feel his heavy dark girth swaying under his body and half out of the pouch of his sheath.

"Get some sleep, Jake, tomorrow you're going to start having a relaxing weekend." He glared at his sister with outrage in his eyes. "Don't give me that look, I think you'll find you've really needed this. And don't worry I made sure no one will question you here. I think this is going to do you a world of good." He watched her with horror as she moved into the darkness of the stable and away from him. What did she mean?!

++++

Lisa woke up with her eyes still slightly reddened from crying last night. Although Jane's soft words and comfort had helped somewhat it hadn't touched on most of the pain that she felt after being snubbed. At least it was Saturday morning so she had the rest of the weekend to not deal with school and seeing Jake. How could he be so mean? How could he just make her feel as if she were a foolish girl? It took a few minutes to want to get out of bed before she drug herself out of her covers and heard her father calling to her from downstairs. His voice came up to her loud and clear.

"LISA! Get up! Onyx is in the stables, he arrived last night late." His voice was so loud it almost vibrated the floor boards. She frowned for a moment at that. Wasn't he supposed to arrive this morning? "Are you going to stay up there all day?!"

"No, Dad, I'm coming!" She stumbled towards the shower as she remembered finally. Onyx was supposed to arrive either in the morning or late last night. That's right. Why had she forgotten that?

It took her longer to get ready today than normal, it felt as if she were moving backwards a she tried to get dressed. She really wanted to crawl back into bed, but the idea of being able to handle Onyx was appealing. The stallion was a beautiful animal, one of the champions in the tricounty area. He'd caught her eye at the last state fair while he ran through the jumping competition with a smooth movement that she had envied. It hadn't taken long to meet with his owners and make a deal to cover Easter. They'd have him for a full week while she was in heat to make sure she got with foal.

She came down the stairs to find her father getting ready for work and pulling on his shirt while he gave her a smile. Breakfast was still left over on the table despite it was nearly ten am. She leaned up to kiss her father off to work before she went out towards the back door. The very thought of food made her stomach roll instead of sounding appealing. The moment she reached the backdoor she noticed her father frowning at her and giving her a long look as if ready to call her back to demand she eat something. Thankfully he didn't say anything once she was out the door and saw her lovely grey mare cropping grass in the paddock. That sight definitely cheered her up.

"Hey girlie, how's it going?" She called out sweetly towards the mare to see the graceful head lifting upwards in answer to her call.

"Mind you don't set Onyx loose on her until I get home, Lisa! That stallion might hurt you if he found himself faced with a mare and no one else to stop him." She tilted her head back to grin at her father.

"I won't, Dad, but I'm going to go give him a good grooming. I only got to see him from behind a stall door last time I saw him, he's such a beautiful horse!" She called back before heading towards the stables where the doors were opened up wide.

She found it odd when she didn't see a trailer left over from the stallion being dropped off, but it was probably for the best. Her father would get royally pissed if the grass was killed just to have a big bulky trailer sitting right on the lawn. The stalls were all empty except one large loose box that was set well back from the rest of the area. It had been prepped last week for the stallion's visit here, she didn't want him getting worked up at seeing a gelding or mare and possibly hurting himself. She bounced up to the stall and stood up right on the first rung to look in on the midnight form of the animal that snorted and peered over the edge of the stall at her.

Lisa forgot for a moment all of her problems with Jake and everything else that was going on when she looked at the smooth graceful lines of the stallion. The thickly arched neck and the keen eyes caught her attention first while she let out a shivering little breath of pure pleasure. The animal was gorgeous, each line of his body was perfectly muscled and balanced as he pawed at the straw and his ears went straight up in the air. She leaned forward over the edge of the stable and extended her hand before making a soft clicking noise to try and coax him closer to her. He let out a strange sort of noise before sticking his head forward with his broad nostrils flared open wide not towards her hand but towards her. He was even sweeter then she could imagine!

++++

Jake flicked his ears up at the sight of Lisa and he let out a breath of relief. Surely she'd figure out he wasn't a real horse, after all she knew all about them! The moment she leaned forward he went towards her and opened his lips to talk, but instead a whicker came out of his throat. The very sound of it made him wince while he tilted his head a little bit to one side to see her better. Her hand moved down to brush against the edges of his nose and he avoided the touch with a snort. He whickered against desperately trying to get her to take a good look at him. He wasn't a real horse! She just needed to take a good look at him! She'd see! All she had to do was take a good look at him!

"Aww hey there, aren't you friendly." She rubbed along his chin even as he tried to dodge the movements, "Are you getting restless fella?"

He had spent a long restless night trying to figure out how to undo the latch to the stall door. He had always thought of himself as smart, but here he was stopped by a simple latch lock that he couldn't get his lips around. He'd wanted to cry and he had kicked at the door a few times before he'd gone back to his pacing. How could his sister do this to him? He didn't want to be this way! It had only been when dawn came that he realized how bad of a position he was in. The sun came up and Lisa's father had come into the barn to let the mares out. He was sure that he'd question why there was an extra horse! Instead he had peered in and tossed down some hay, grain and water with a rough pet against his cheek.

Why was no one questioning his presence here? Did they just assume that he was supposed to be there? It wasn't right! They should have questioned him being there! It was all Jane's work, he knew it. He stared as Lisa rubbed against his nose and felt some of his respect for her leaving. Why didn't she question what was going on? Instead she scratched against the underside of his chin and then ran up along the curve of her cheek and then behind the tapered ears. He couldn't help but lean in against the touch before her voice reached him again. Her soft chattering finally reached his ears and made sense.

"Well, let's get you out and exercised. We're gonna get the tickles out of your feet so you aren't rough later." She said with a chipper enough voice before moving away from his stall.

He looked after her with a slight feeling of confusion as she walked into what seemed to be an empty stall. It couldn't have been too empty, he could hear the sound of things being shifted and moved around out of his view. His nostrils flared a little bit to try and figure out what she was doing and then stopped himself. Why the hell was he sniffing the air? His questioning snuffles were soon answered in the form of the Lisa coming out with her arms full of gleaming leather tack before she nudged the door closed behind her. He felt himself blanch a little bit at the sight of the saddle. She was not thinking about riding him!

++++

Lisa found a saddle that she figured would properly fit the big dark stallion and a clean bridle. At least riding would take her mind off of what had happened last night. No matter how bad her day, no matter how hard it became, she'd always have the horses to make her feel better. She had to shift her burden slightly to open up the stall and almost lost it when Onyx lunged forward with a soft snort. She grinned and moved her hand up to rest against his nose to force the stallion back by walking forward. Even watching those powerful muscles rippling along the edges of his shoulders and over his barrel like chest made her savor being around him.

"Easy on, we'll get you fixed up!" She laughed playfully.

She slung the saddle over the stall door and moved the bridle up after catching the dark forelock. Up close he smelled just like a horse should and made her murmur soft nonsense words to sooth him while he let out soft whickers and snorts. He was probably just upset at being in a new place and having a strange person around. She rubbed beneath his chin to see him prancing in place while she tried to calm him down. Her fingers traced their way upwards just along the smoothness of the fur along the underside of his chin. His fur was so soft and silky it was a treat to rub and stroke over. She luxuriated in it.

Once he'd settled down she slid her fingers deftly beneath the curve of his cheeks and slipped the leather of the bridle over his head. Her other hand gripped his forelock lightly to keep him in place as she started to buckle the straps behind his ears and along his cheeks. She pulled the straps tightly along the underside of his muzzle and pressed the bit up against his lips. He gave a snort for all the world as if he were offended and she let out a soft laugh of amusement and tickled him under the chin. She brushed upwards until she gripped lightly on either side of his chin and the stallion spread his lips with a whicker before the bit slid into his mouth securely.

"There see? That wasn't such a bad thing. Poor boy, your worlds all switched about isn't it?" She crooned the words down at him before swinging the reins over his neck and turning towards the saddle. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll feel better once we have you out and taken a few rounds around the farm."

++++

Jake wasn't sure which was more humiliating. The very tone of her voice she used on him or the fact the cold metal bar was over his tongue and between his teeth. He tried to shove it out while she kept up those soft baby noises at him. How could she talk to him like that? He wasn't an idiot! Yet she kept chattering at him as if he were one. He snorted and tossed his head a little as she stepped back and gave it a shake back and forth in an attempt to dislodge the bridle from his head. His tongue pushed harder against the bar of metal to his horror he drooled slightly on himself and he stopped trying. Didn't she realize that he was a human being?! He wasn't behaving at all like a horse!

"Here we go! There's a good fellow, who's a good fellow?" The voice crooned and made him flatten his ears.

Something thick and soft was thrown over his back and he turned around to see her settling a pad onto his back. He remembered it was a saddle pad from the last time he'd been here. A saddle pad! On him! He tried to shift away only to feel something heavier than the pad be thrown over his back. The metal buckles clicked together as the straps hung down on either side and he shifted at the foreign weight. She didn't give him any chance to adjust, instead her hands went down under him to grab the other side of the strap and then pulled it over. The sudden tightening made him grunt out a little and pinned his ears backwards.

Nothing could prepare him for the sudden rush of scent that flooded his nose. He jerked his head upwards and felt the knee shove up against the curve of his side almost to the point of painful. He let out a breath with a sudden puffing noise and opened his lips. Outrage flooded him as he realized Lisa had made him exhale so that she could pull the straps taut beneath the curve of his belly. She shifted the saddle and moved it about securely while he shifted in the stall and let out a low sound in his throat. This was the most humiliating thing he'd ever done! His ears remained well back as her hand moved up to hold the reins just under his chin.

"All set! Let's head out for a good ride and we'll see what we can do to pass some time hmm?" He voice was chipper and bright while she gave a tug against the reins that made him stumble forward a step.

He glared at the hand gripping his reins as he was lead out of his stall and onto the hard packed dirt of the stable floor. His hooves clopped against the ground as he felt how all his legs worked in time with the others, even his tail bobbed along behind his haunches. It wasn't until he was pulled outside that Lisa gathered the reins up at the base of his neck and he felt the weight on the saddle alter as she placed a booted foot into the stirrup. Oh god she was going to ride him. He almost sidled away, but by then it was too late. Her weight had shifted and she threw her leg up and over his back so that her rump settled firmly into the saddle and she pulled the reins back to keep him in place while he tried to prance away. It wasn't until he heard the clucking sound and the push of the heels against his sides that he realized she wanted him to go. His ears burned dark red before he stepped out onto the grass.

++++

Lisa gripped her legs in against the sides of the stallion as he shifted and shied about. She had to smile to herself at his spirited prancing and simply reined him in before letting him step forward. His ears were still back, but she could excuse those as being in a new place with a new rider. It couldn't have been easy for him to adjust and trying to figure out what was going on. She moved a hand down to rub against the side of his neck before straightening up in the saddle and giving a sharp nudge with her heels. The stallion was still a smooth mover, despite the way he tugged and turned about in protest to the firm commands of her hands on the reins. She finally moved her weight a little and pulled the crop out of her boot to give him a light tap right against his rump.

"Come on, fella, you're good. Maybe you just need to have a good run to help you calm down." She leaned forward a little bit and gave her heels a sharp nudge inwards before tapping with the crop.

The stallion startled and she leaned forward as he gave a sudden leap forward and started out at a trot as if surprised at her own touch. He snorted and she carefully made sure he was downwind and away from the paddock where Easter was grazing. She didn't want him getting into trouble while her father wasn't home. Stallions could be surprisingly hard to manage when it came to being around a mare and the last thing she needed for her day was trying to deal with him without some help. To her relief he didn't seem interested in yearning towards the paddock as she guided him towards the bridle path that ran around the entire stable. He really was a nice smooth mover once he'd stopped fighting her.

She let Onyx set his own pace after the first fast trot she got out of him. He seemed to pick a smooth cantor as he moved along the paths and wound his way steadily closer to the edge of the fence line. She savored the feel of his muscled body moving beneath her own as at times he tried to fight the reins and in those cases she used a firm grip on the reins and a light touch with the riding crop made him settle down. The only true bad habit he had was he kept dropping his head down and pulling against the reins until a fine white froth formed along the darkness of his lips. She spent nearly two hours working her way around the paths and setting him through each of his paces in turn. It was the gallop though that she savored the most.

His body extended beneath her so that she felt the way the muscles rippled beneath the ebony coat. Each time he extended his legs she would lean forward over him and urge him on before they bunched up again. Her eyes narrowed down a little to try to keep the wind out of her eyes as she put her weight more evenly distributed on the stirrup. Her entire body moved in time with the stallions and for a moment she felt the glorious sensation as if they were one creature rather than two. His breath came out in hot snorts beneath her while she let him twist his way down the more difficult paths that lead towards the lower portion of the farm. For a moment she forgot all about Jake and what he'd said to her, forgot about everything except the heat of the stallions body and the feel of him tearing across the dirt.

++++

Jake felt a mingling of pleasure and humiliation at the feel of his muscles being stretched out as he ran. The weight of Lisa on his back was negligible when compared with the power of this new body. His mane was caught in the wind that went tearing past his head and his nostrils spread open wide to be able to suck in each shuddering breath. It might have been pleasurable to feel such a powerful body at his command if it wasn't for the feel of the heels that dug in against his sides or the hands that guided him with firm pulls against the reins so that his head was pointed towards where she wanted to go. His every move was dictated by the rider on his back who kept a grip on the reins so that the bit dug in against the corners of his lips.

He fought against it as he wanted to be able to go where and how he wanted too! The pull of the reins that shifted the bit soon has him shifting his teeth and moving the piece of metal around the edges of his lips. With horror he felt how his lips started to show froth, the white saliva drooled along the chin as he ran so that he couldn't find a way to lick it off. He shook his head to send a few drops out from his muzzle and his ears went back down flat against his head. It was horrible! Instead of slowing him down so he could at least wipe the disgusting stuff off on some grass she kept him going. His breath came out in snorts and he realized he sounded like nothing else but an animal! A common beast! He wanted to crawl into a hole.

His coat itched as he felt it start to show a coating of sweat from his run and only after his lungs started to burn and legs felt less sure did she let him slow down. His chest heaved as he was allowed to walk down towards the barn. His hooves kicked up puffs of dusts until the gritty dirt ended up coating against his dark sides. Some places showed wet patched against his chest and he finally felt some relief as he walked towards the stable. Lisa's hands kept a firm grip on the reins as he became aware of her murmured words of comfort and nonsense like she would talk to any animal. The leather creaked against his back as he came up next to a pasture where horses were grazing near the fence line.

"There's a good boy, handsome fellow, feeling less restless now." To his horror she leaned forward to brush her fingers right against the side of his neck soothingly.

He rolled a dark eye back at her and tried to ignore the patronizing words and tone. It was humiliating and disgusting all at once. His ears flicked back as he felt them burning hot and he traveled up towards the main barn. His body was at least tired, perhaps he could just sleep and she'd leave him alone. He was already planning on how he might be able to hide away for the entire weekend in the hopes that Jane would change him back when a scent suddenly hit against him. It smacked him in the nose and he tucked his haunches down with a soft squeal. It was intoxicating, rich and thick on the air as his nostrils started to draw in faster. He twisted his head and strained towards the fence while Lisa's hands suddenly pulled the reins back roughly. He didn't care! He wanted that scent!

+++++

Lisa had let herself slip into the numbness and enjoyment of the stallion's movements beneath her and the quiet day around them. The worries and humiliation she had felt from Jake had been soothed away by the stallion's spirited run and she could almost forget that she'd have to see him on Monday. It wasn't until they came up along the fence line that she forgot the way she'd been taking him towards the barn and realized her mistake. The stallion suddenly froze as his nostrils flared and his head went up high. His entire body went tense and she looked over to see Easter with her head up just a dozen feet from the fence line. She gripped the reins and cursed herself as the stallion started to turn his head closer to the fence line.

"Onyx! ONYX!" She called out as she moved to grip the reins and yank his head backwards. Why hadn't she remembered to take him the back way!

The stallion threw his head back as if annoyed and started to shift his weight about restlessly while his tail lashed back and forth behind him. She could feel the way he was prancing under her as she tried to pull his head to the side away from the fence. His muzzle opened up while he half reared up and dropped back down again. His ears were up and it was only made worse by the whickering call of the mare in the field next to him. She gripped the reins harder and gave another pull back as the stallion pushed his way towards the fence. She saw a glimpse of his brown eyes rimmed with white as he whickered back towards the mare with an almost desperate air to him.

Lisa swallowed a little bit as she tried to control him and barely succeeded into getting him to walk forward. She only managed that since he seemed to have spotted the gate that lead into the pasture. How was she going to get him back into the stable? Easter was whickering and trotting right along the edge of the fence in her attempt to get towards the stallion. Her ears were up and she struggled as the stallion suddenly lunged towards the gate with a snorting noise. She swallowed and looked down at him. She had him in a bridle, he should be tired out, if he was tired he should be alright covering the mare without hurting her. She'd seen stallions cover mares before without a huge group of people surrounding them.

++++

Jake felt his eyes roll slightly in panic as the closer Lisa's mare got to him, the hotter that scent got. It was like nothing he had ever tasted in his life, it was rich and sweet and flooded his nostrils until he forgot for a moment he was really a human. He could feel his sheath peeling back until the thick crown drooled out and weighed the sheath down. He whickered back towards her almost desperately, he wanted closer to that scent! He needed closer to it! He fought the reins until he heard her calling out the stallions name and froze. What was he thinking?! He wasn't an animal! He wasn't getting turned on at the scent of the mare! That was impossible! He was a human! He couldn't stop his bodies reactions though.

To his horror Lisa slipped out of the saddle to his side and he could feel his dark onyx cock drooling out of his sheath. Was she looking at it? Could she see how he was reacting? He suddenly prayed with all his heart that she never realized that he was really Jake. She gripped his reins and he tried to will himself to continue to the stables. If he just got there he could ignore the scent of her horse, but instead she suddenly moved to open up the fence! He tried to lock his legs in place as he gave a soothing noise and moved to pull him forward. He didn't want to go forward! He wanted that fence between him and Easter! Instead he felt his body moving forward towards that intoxicating heated scent and flared his nostrils open wide.

"That's it, easy boy, easy." The soft voice came in that patronizing tone as he was pulled into the paddock. More of his cock drooled out of his sheath until he could feel it swaying back and forth beneath his dark stomach. "Shh it's okay, it's alright."

Jake wanted to take comfort from the sound of Lisa's voice but he couldn't, he couldn't get over the fact he was drawing in that scent of mare in heat and his cock was growing harder and thicker. She moved a hand just under his cheek and gave it a gentle rub along his fur. She was close to him until he could feel the warmth of her body just against his side. Why had he never noticed how lovely she looked? The softness of her breasts, the curve of her hips? Her touch was so light against his fur that he felt his mind growing confused at the scent of in heat mare and the sight of Lisa. He'd always been able to control his thoughts and emotions before, but suddenly he was a slave to them! He flexed the base of his cock until he heard the slapping sound as it pulled up to hit right against the underside of his chest.

Viscous precum drooled out against his sweaty chest and even against the line of the saddle band that was firmly wrapped beneath him. His reins were pulled as his head was guided away from Lisa's lovely body towards her mare's curved haunches. He breathed in the scent and his upper lip suddenly peeled back as he sucked in her scent and lifted his head up higher into the air while he panted out short heavy breaths. The glossy mare's tail flicked to the side and in horror he watched as her dark tear shaped folds were bared to him. He couldn't be thinking this! He couldn't! The lips flared open to flash her clit out to him before they were pursed together again. His body trembled as his body moved without his control and shoved forward to draw in a deep breath of her heat scent.

Easter's tail jerked all the way to the side so that he didn't get any way to escape the winking cunt that hovered in front of him. The fingers moved away from his reins and he rolled his eyes in a panic to see Lisa moving up to the mare's side. Was she just going to watch him? Watch him fuck a farm animal? He wanted to sob in denial, but the mare pushed her hips back so that his velvety lips were pushed right up against her folds. He drew in that fertile scent with great flares of his nostrils so that he felt some part of him slip away. His cock slapped against the underside of his belly again so he felt the sudden splash of precum hit his forelegs. He pushed his tongue out to suddenly drag over her folds and curled up and between them.

Between the scent and sight of the mare, and the sight of Lisa's body so close to her his mind was overwhelmed with instinctive urges. He peeled his lips back and tossed his head up to suck in that scent again before instinct took over. He shifted onto his haunches a moment before his forelegs slid up and over the glossy furred haunches and his chest pushed over her. He couldn't stop himself, his tail was lashing back and forth behind him as he leaned forward towards her neck. The saddle pushed against her as he felt his cock harden and jerk up to start stabbing right up against her inner thighs while he pranced. He wanted her! He wanted to feel the heat of her wrapped around his cock! He rocked his hips while part of him wanted to sob inside at his own disgusting desires. His cock bumped and pushed between the mare's haunches while he pulled at her with his forelegs.

A hand suddenly wrapped around the tip of his cock and he squealed out in shock, his head turned to the side to find Lisa beside him. His classmate was holding his cock and aiming it for him! Her fingers rubbed right under his thick tip and he wanted to yank away and run. He wanted to run as far away from this place as he could get, he didn't want to fuck a farm animal! He almost had the will power to pull away when he felt his tip push up against something slick and hot. His ears went back and he whinnied out in shock before his hips crashed down to drive deep inside of the mare's body. The walls spread open around him as he forced his cock into that tight channel.

There was a lewd wet noise as his cock squeezed into the mare's cunt as she tensed and pushed back against him. It was impossible for him to do anything except force every hot silken inch of his cock into her body. The walls squeezed and clutched around him as he used his forelegs to pull himself forward to slip deeper inside of her. Lisa's fingers moved away from him as she scrambled back and he squeezed his eyes shut. In that single thrust he lost his virginity to a common farm animal with his classmate watching from close by. His ears flattened as he drove himself in until his medial ring drove into the outer lips until he was almost balls deep inside of her. With a groan he pulled his hips back and felt the suction of the internal muscles trying to hold him inside.

His head dropped down to rest against Easter's shoulder as he started to drive himself back into that tight passage and he could feel it forced to stretch around his heavy cock. The slow steady motions of his hips drove him deeper into her passage while he started to breath out in short puffs of breath and heard the mare squeal out under him. When he thrust forward hard enough that he could feel his heavy balls slap up she almost jerked forward and a sudden rush of dominance ran through him. He moved his teeth down grip right against the base of her neck to keep her in place. His hips rocked and he drove himself up until his balls could feel the wetness that had started to ooze out from her passage and left him trembling with pleasure.

For a moment he forgot that Lisa was watching him lose his virginity as a horse, forgot that anyone else was there. All he could think of was that he was driving himself as deep as he could possibly get inside of the shifting mare beneath him. His tip blasted out hot rushes of precum to splatter right inside of her passage and drooled all the way up towards the cervix before he pulled out again. He could feel her own wetness and his precum had started to froth the wetness right up along the edges of her folds. It slimed up his cock while he drew in each and every breath of the sweet heat that flooded into his mind. He wanted her! To possess her! To take her and breed her! This was his mare!

Jake's teeth clenched down harder and his eyes opened up to see Lisa standing so close to the mare's shoulder. Her eyes were wide and not trained on his fore body, she was looking beneath the mare to watch him fucking her. He felt his eyes well up with tears as the pleasure couldn't take away his horrified embarrassment of his first time being watched. His first time was forced with a common animal and he just rode out his desire for her with faster thrusts. The slapping sounds echoed in his ears as his balls were constantly hammering against her splayed outer folds and his tip pushed roughly against her cervix. The silken muscles started to milk and squeeze around him as if they were trying to suckle him even deeper.

He arched his back and flagged his tail up higher in the air behind him as he felt the walls start to milk around him. Lisa moved back and he suddenly realized she was about to watch him cum inside the mare. He tried to hold off, he wanted to hold off! He knew if he came he'd risk actually impregnating Easter. But the walls started to pulse tighter and tighter around him until he could feel the ripples running through her. He flattened his ears and released her neck to suddenly squeal out in shock as he felt his balls pulling up between his hind legs. The sensation ran all the way up along his spine as the first quiver passed over his glossy dark body.

Jake felt his cock tip spread open wider until it was wedged tightly right up against the cervix, his urethra jutted forward to lock right up against the opening there before he forced up the first hot wave of cum through his cock. It erupted out of him in hot waves that splashed up against the opening of her cervix while his balls heaved to force up more of his virile sperm through his cock to erupt inside of her passage. He shifted on his hind legs as his forelegs jutted to either side and shuddered in time with his orgasm as he gave a lurching thrust forward right into the passage so that his cock tip wedged harder right up against the opening of the cervix increasing his pleasure.

He'd never experienced anything so intense in his life as he could feel the thick gouts erupting from his tip to coat the inner passage and the mare beneath him shifted and shuddered. He could feel her body sucking his semen deep into the fertile womb. The thick drooling cum started to slowly taper off as the eruption of seed slowed down and started to grow thicker instead. The gel like mixture pumped out of him and he realized with horror that it was going to seal all of that rich cum inside of her. Panic rushed through him and he threw his head back before trying to pull himself backwards. His hind hooves clattered against the ground as he pulled steadily until he felt the slimy ebony cock pulling free from her body and Lisa let out a little squeak.

The mare stumbled forward just as he yanked his flared tip free of the suckling passage with a lewd splattering sound. His humiliation only increased he felt a thick strand of cum connecting him to her for a moment before he dropped onto all four hooves. His ears flattened down as he looked at the splayed folds he'd just taken. They were still partially open as thick pearly ropes of cum drooled free from them to splatter right on the ground between the hind legs. He flared his nostrils and shuddered all over. How could he do that! There it was right in front of him, the proof he had just bred a common farm animal. To make it worse Lisa's hands closed on his reins and gave them a light tug to pull him away. What had he done?

+++++

Lisa had been in a state of shock and strangely arousal watching the large stallion taking the mare. She'd never been so close to mating horses and never realized just how large one could be until she watched as the shaft sinking into her mare. It was only when he pulled out that she could breathe again and watched as his massively spread tip drooled out what was left of his orgasm before it started to pull up into the sheath. Easter didn't seem to take any harm from the sudden mating, though she walked a bit awkwardly away as she gripped the reins and gave a little pull against them. She needed to clean the stallion up before her father got home and lectured her about not being careful enough!

The stallion seemed almost as in shock as her as she lead him out of the pasture and watched as his dark glazed shaft was pulled higher until it was entirely inside of the sheath. She gave a little bit of a look back as she pulled him up into the barn to push into his stall. It was only then that she could relax and know that her father wasn't about to come up the drive and lecture her about what had just happened. She gave a slight smile as she looked at the dark face and tied the reins off on the edge of the stable and rubbed a hand against his sweaty side. He smelled of sweat, sex and horse all mingled together and almost disturbingly he kept watching her.

"Good boy, Onyx, good boy! I'm going to get you all nice and clean now." She murmured softly while she moved back to pull the saddle off his broad back. His dark coat was covered in white splashes from his dried sweat.

Once she'd stripped the tack off she went out to fill a bucket full of water and started to work on washing his dark coat with a sponge. The stallion moved restlessly and snorted as he tried to get away from the attention, but each time he did she gave tugs against the reins to hold him still. She moved along the edges of his chest and even down along his haunches. The cool water soon worked to get the sweat off of his coat while she started to work in on his underside as well. She could see his sheath was sticky from the mating, a thick froth of mingled wetness has been left behind right around the thick edges of it. She swallowed a little bit as she worked the water upwards along the underside of his belly and then started to move the sponge inwards towards the sheath itself.

"Easy boy, easy..." She murmured softly.

++++

Jake relaxed slightly as he felt the water working over his itchy sweaty coat. His embarrassment was still teasing the edges of his mind, but he forced himself to relax into her ministrations. It was all he could do to let himself swivel his ears around a little bit and then lower it down so that she could finally work against his sides. He couldn't even wash himself. All he could do was remain here and think about everything that he had done to that mare. Even that made him restless, but not with humiliation, it was with something else entirely. He wanted to know what it would feel like again, he wanted to take her again! How could he already be thinking about mounting the mare again? He wasn't truly paying attention to the cool water until he felt it brushing right up against the edges of his sheath and startled slightly with a snort.

Her fingers moved up to cup under his sheath as the sponge worked right over the dark edges of his sheath. It rubbed and moved higher up as her fingers moved along the edges of the thick opening. It was a shock and he tried to jerk his head free from the reins to get her away. Instead the fingers started to sink into the edges of his sheath and spread them open so that they started to strain and stretch while her fingers pushed deeper into his sheath. The fingers spread wider before they reached and wrapped right around the edge of his cock. He squealed out a protesting sound as his shaft was pulled out from its home and felt the disgusting feel of the sticky cock being pulled half way out. It was only when his softened dark girth was half out that she moved the bucket up.

He jerked and then half reared as the bucket suddenly was tossed and water splashed all along his belly and coated around his cock so that some of the mess was removed from the area. The cold wetness dropped down along the edges of his hind legs and his cock swung free as Lisa's hand moved back away from the area. He was left twisting his head and tossing it up into the air as he snorted roughly and stared at her in consternation at what she'd done! There was no dignity left to him after that move and as she straightened up she saw her smile a little bit. She put the bucket to the side before moving his hands towards his head to stroke against his cheek softly. Her touch was so light against him that he couldn't' help but relax slightly into it despite his outrage and humiliation.

"It's okay, good boy, its okay." She murmured softly into his ear as she peeled his bridle from his head. "You know, I wish I could find a guy like you." She sighed a little bit and rested her forehead against his own. "I don't think there is one though."

+++++

The pair spent the day with Lisa fussing over him, but she was always gentle, always soft in her actions and the sound of her voice. He couldn't help the way that he reacted to her and nuzzled against the curve of her hip and the feel of her hands when they stroked along the arch of his neck. The soft voice often talked to him and he got the feeling that she spent many times talking to the horses rather than people. The loneliness struck a chord in him as he listened and found that without a voice it was easier to pay attention to the little nuances of her body language and to the emotions behind her voice. By the time the sun started to set and she reluctantly kissed his soft nose good night he found himself staring after her with longing.

Had she always been so sweet? Had she always been so gentle and easily hurt? She never spoke about him, but he had the sensation that he had hurt her far more then he intended. How could he have been so idiotic to do that to her! She had offered him everything and he'd thrown it away. As darkness wrapped around the farm he found himself looking forward to the next day and having her come to tend him again. Her gentle touch and soothing words made him forget how much he wanted to be human again. It was to his shock when dawn came he was back in his human form and in his own bed with the memories of the day before lingering in his mind. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world to get out of bed and skip his books in favor of getting dressed.

He barely said a word to his sister on his way out. The memories of his time as a horse had started to fade away piece of by piece like a strange dream as he took his car to the farm. He got out and felt elation upon seeing his school mate out in the pasture rubbing Easter down, but she didn't seem to share it as her face fell slightly upon seeing him. It didn't matter, he'd make things right with her. His tongue felt tied as he tried to explain himself, how much he cared for her, loved her until he came to an awkward halt and lowered his eyes under his attempt at an apology. To his shock she felt her fingers slide through his hair in a feather light caress.

"I always knew you were the one I wanted.." They were the greatest words he had ever known.
