Chapter 1: Back on the Track
"I don't want to write a essay about living on a farm.."Aidan said,groaning,flipping her blonde and blue hair over her shoulders.
"Then copy-paste some stuff," Ryan said,grinning his signature grin.
"Yeah,I guess,It's due by the end on the summer." Aidan said, climbing on the bus,she sat down leaning against a window and started on her essay.
'...I dont live on a real farm, as apposed to a working farm. We have dogs,Chickens,and a goat. It's not really all it's made out to be. We don't really rally horses...Or catch wild ones. We dont even OWN one....' She wrote,and her pen fell out of her hand as she fell asleep.
"Aidan,"Ryan nudged her with his converse,"Get off the bus!" He shoved her notebook at her and pushed her into the aisle.
She scurried off the bus,running down the dirt drive,"Man,I can't BELIEVE I FELL ASLEEP!" She yelped,hurrying.
"Hey,Aidan," Her neighbor Charlie waved,and she ignored him.
"Not now,Charlie-jock." She yelled,running faster.
She heard a nicker as she slowed,cming into the large dirt area that split the drives....The round pen wasn't empty.
"What?" She stared as the horse bucked around the pen,her Dad watching,hands in his pockets.
"WHAT IS THAT?" She yelled.
"A horse.A stallion. They were gonna drop him off to slaughter...don't see why.He's only three." Her daddy shrugged.
"He's a mess! Lookit him!I don't want any other horse on this farm except for Thunder," She yelled,running in the house.
"Don't worry about her,She'll come around," The farmhand said,taking off his gloves.
He sighed and walked inside,"Aidan," He said,sitting down.
"Yessir?" She was doing dishes,
"You don't have to have no part of that horse in yonder." He siad.
She turned the water off.
"But know that Thunder isn't coming back,and This horse needs somone,I ain't gonna take care of it."
She growled as he went upstairs.
She went to sleep on the couch that night and left early for her friend Allie's house.
"Hey Aidan,What's up?"
"Stallion.Shut up and let me sleep on your couch." Aidan crashed.
"....OK..."She said,raising a brow and conitueing her chores.

When aidan come home that night,the stallion was panting,in a cold sweat,nickering softly on his side.
"Hey,Stallion..?" She asked,panicing softly.
"Your choice." Her Daddy said from the railing.
"You ***! You knew he had Colic!" She yelped,getting water and a rag and walking inside,nearly forgetting...Blanket. Sweat it out and don't let him roll.
"He nearly killed Sam Today. He's in ICU with three broken ribs.and a punctured lung." Her Daddy said.
She ran in with a light blue blanket,sliding under the gate,she sat by the stallion and put in on him,snapping a lead to his halter,she pulled him up and began to walk him.He tried to get down and roll,"C'mon,don't give up now," She said,walking him around and around.He panted and tried to roll over..and over..And she jerked him back up. Her dad went inside after a while.
"C'mon,"She said.

The following morning,Her father came out to see her feeding a apple to the horse,then vet standing beside her.
"She called me at about three." She said. "The horse lived." She added.
Aidan snorted,"Like he cares about Spirit."
"That THING has a name now,ey?" He said.
"Spirited Miracle," She said,stroking the chocolate and white stallion,that had obviously been brushed down and washed.
"Of course." He walked back in.
"SHORTAY! Heard you got a horse." Charlie was ocming fast up the driveway and her dad was going into the house..The vet had left.
"Yeah." She answered,walking out to the barn to get a hackamore and a blanket and austrialian saddle,hanging all up on the railing,she jumped the fence and tied Spirit to a piece of rail.
"Oh,He's broke?" Charlie asked,flipping his white bangs out of his eyes.
"Nope." She said simply,putting the blanket on him.
"Is'nt it dangerous?" He asked.
"Yup. " She said,loading the saddle up and buckling it and sliding it back to his hindquarters and testing it,acting like she was going to get on. He did'nt react."Great," She siad,pulling herself up,"Untie him,CharlieJock."
He did as told,looking suspiscous.

She pulled up on the reigns and turned him in line,walking out of the ring.
"Is this a good idea?..." Charlie asked.
"Shut up,Arcaine,"She snapped,using his real name...a seldom thing.
He backed up immedately.
"Ready,Spirit?" She whispered,holding onto the saddle and kicking him in the ribs. He reared up and she landed flat on her back,gasping for air she could'nt have...
