Hey guys! Happy late Halloween! As a "belated halloween gift" or whatever, here is a new chapter of Fury! Happy reading!


Chapter Twenty-Eight






(knock) (knock) (knock)

A young, short haired brunette raps on the front door of Jack’s house, there is a look of concern and desire in the girl’s eyes. It is evident that she is searching for something and that she hopes that visiting this stable will end her search. It was just mere days after the black mare arrived at the stables.




Within seconds, the young, pretty, redhead known as Karilla answers the door.

“Hi! Can I help you with anything?”
“Uhhhh...Yeah, Is there a Mr. Jack Silver around?”
“He’s at a horse show out of town, and he’s not coming back until much later today. I’m sorry....If you tell me who you are and what you want with him, I’ll call him!”
“Ok...ok...that sounds good....My name is Janice.”
“Hi, Janice! I’m Karilla! What brings you to Six Gable Stables?”
“No sense beating around the bush......was a horse recently brought to Jack for rehabilitation? Black mare with white markings? About sixteen hands high?
“Yeah....yeah we did...her name is Blackie....She was rescued from Vincent Cormier’s ranch, you know? The guy that posted the YouTube videos of him mistreating his horses? Why do you want to know?”




Janice replies to Karilla’s question, and the answer she gives genuinely shocks her.

“You’re probably not going to believe this........I was ‘Blackie’s’ original owner.”

Karilla responds to Janice.....with a simple smile...





“Blackie’s original name is Princess.” Janice explained to Karilla. “Me and my family own a horse farm similar to yours in another county and were training Princess to become a polo pony, but....her temperament was always bad. She would constantly buck her riders off at random times and more often than not she wanted nothing to do with me, my brother, my boyfriend or my parents. We knew we needed outside help with training her, so my parents found this horse trainer in the Crystal Falls area.”
“And the horse trainer you found was......”
“When I first met Vincent Cormier, I actually thought he was really hot... (giggles)...I didn’t know he was a Hollister model at the time...but he claimed to have a good reputation as a ‘horse whisperer.’
“Really?”




“Vincent actually seemed like a very nice, sociable guy to me and even though he insisted on having Princess stay in his stable, I thought that I could really rely on him to take care of and properly train her....(sigh) little did I know......The first time he had a training session with Princess, I made sure to keep an eye on things.....At first, Vincent actually tried to be gentle with Princess and was going to try and pet her, but Princess got spooked and reared up.....At that nanosecond, Vincent got out his bullwhip and started to beat the living sh*t out of her, right in front of me, no less! I yelled at him ‘STOP!!! You’re hurting her!’ and Vincent’s response just wrote in stone what kind of a person he is, a cold-blooded animal abuser. ‘Toughen up! You need thick skin for this kind of job. Now stand back and shut the f*** up!’ I then told him that horses have just as much feelings as humans do. He just laughed and said that he couldn’t care less about the horse’s ‘feelings.’ No bullsh*t, he ACTUALLY said that! So I did what I had to, I told Vincent to cancel the other appointments and that I’m taking my business elsewhere. He just laughed at me some more and ridiculed me non-stop on my way out. ”
“What happened after that?”
“She was still too much to handle at home....in fact she was even worse....My family had no choice but to contact the ASPCA to take her away...For the time being, I was sad that Princess was gone but I was reassured at the thought that she was in safe hands. Once again, little did I know that the ASPCA put her up for sale and in a sick stroke of fate, Vincent Cormier bought her......Now...I’m just so happy to find out that Princess is now safe with you guys.....Can I...see her at least?”




Karilla mulled over Janice’s request, knowing well that the black mare was quarentined and then accepted.

“Ok...you can see her, Janice...but I wouldn’t get too close to the quarantine pen if I were you, she’s still unbroken...We just recently got her to calm down to the point where we can feed her, give her water, and muck out the quarantine pen without her giving us any trouble, but the minute she senses that you’re gonna pet her, mount her, or basically make physical contact with her in any way, she goes ballistic.




With that said, Karilla leads her guest to the quarantine pen so Janice can reunite with her horse. Janice is absolutely shocked, however, to see the sheer amount of scars dotting the mare’s skin.

“Oh no....what did Vincent do to you?”
“The scars are healing very well, but you can forget about trying to get those knots out of her mane and tail...”




“I’m afraid to ask this.....but.....what are you planning to do to her?”
“Honestly, I’m not sure yet.....the owner of this stable sadly believes that she may be too far gone already....but I got a secret weapon......my boyfriend, Mike.”
“Hold up, Mike? Michael Schaefer? I’ve heard about him!”
“Really?”
“Yeah, everybody on the Horsez4U.com forum has heard of him and how he was able to tame a dangerous horse that killed its owner! I had no idea that he’s your boyfriend!!! Yeah, if anyone can help you with Princess, it’s him! And.....I hope you don’t take offense to this...but I wouldn’t really expect that someone who, at least at the time looked like a Jersey Shore reject to be able to tame a horse, let alone a horse as unpredictable and dangerous as that bay Arab stallion.”
“HA HA!! Don’t worry, no offense taken!”




At that moment, Karilla's own knight in shining armor comes back from a trail ride with Fury.

“Hey Karilla! Who’s this?”
“Hi, Babe....This is Janice. She was the black mare’s original owner and she came over so she can see her again.”




“It’s nice to meet you, Janice!”
“It’s nice to meet you too! I’ve heard so many things about you! Is that Fury, the horse you tamed? He’s even more beautiful than I thought he would be!”
“Thank you.”




As Janice and Mike converse, Karilla walks over to the quarentine pen where the black mare is being kept. Staring into the horse’s beautiful dark eyes, Karilla is absolutley entranced with the beauty of the dark horse.

“You know what..... the name ‘Blackie’ doesn’t really fit you.....I really love your original name.... ‘Princess’ really fits you....How do you like that name?

And with that said, the black mare nods her head.....and Karilla reacts in astonishment.....





“You.....can understand me, do you?”
