Sorry that Fury's twentieth chapter is so short...I hope you like it anyway!


Chapter Twenty





While Jason was out and about the forest, The rest of the friends had some SERIOUS catching up to do. Even though they are all engaged in the social network phenomenon, they all agree that nothing truly beats an in-person conversation. Mike begins to tell everyone what he’s been up to and then tells an anecdote on how he crashed his motorcycle a few weeks ago.

“...and after the fiasco with me trying to fix it myself, which is how I got this cut on my arm, I finally gave up and took Karilla’s advice. I finally called a mechanic.”
“Are you okay, otherwise?” Marissa asked.
“Marissa, I’ve been practicing Mixed Martial Arts for about thirteen years now, I can handle a few scratches...”

Suddenly, Jennifer points out that a certain someone has returned....

“Hey look! Jason’s back!”





Mike looked back to see Jason mounted on his new horse Buddy cantering back to the stable grounds. Holding on to the reins with only one hand in a true Western fashion, there is a visible look of eagerness in his face.




“What’s up, J.?”
“Mike, I got something to tell you. I saw something incredible!”
“How incredible?”
“Pretty damn incredible if I may say so myself!”
“.........Ok, I’m convinced. Can you guys give me and J. a minute?”




“So, what’s up?”
“I don’t even know where to begin....while I was taking Buddy out for a ride, I saw a herd of wild horses grazing on the other side of the cliff!”
“Wild mustangs, huh? you’re pretty damn lucky!”
“But that wasn’t the only amazing thing I saw. Straggling away from the herd was possibly the most gorgeous stallion I have ever seen. It was a pure white horse, I could tell by the pink skin around his muzzle...”
“Wow...”





“But one thing is really bothering me though, why was he so far away from the other horses in the herd...I thought he was the lead stallion, but when he ran away, the other horses didn’t follow him....And I also noticed this weird black mark on his flank, it may have been a brand...”
“I’ll tell you what, we can ride over there and see if he came back! It’s worth a shot!”





Jason and Mike saddled up their horses (well, maybe just Jason because Mike always rides Fury bareback.) and set out for where Jason found the herd.

“Where did you say they were again?”
“The wild mustangs were right along that shallow cliff on the other side!”
“Alrighty then! Come on, Fury!”




Sadly, they were in for an unfortunate surprise when they find that there are no wild horses by the Cliffside. They all must have detected Jason and Mike coming and vacated the area.

“Damn! They’re not here!”
“Well, wild mustangs are pretty skittish animals J. The moment they detect that a human being is coming, they scatter. That’s why I said that you were pretty damn lucky that you managed to see an entire herd.”
“Let’s go back to the stable, maybe they’ll come back here to graze tomorrow...”’




Dejected, the two boys rode on....
