Fury

[Fraroc]

Could it be....yes....the wait is over...This is post is not an excuse....it's a CHAPTER! Anyways, this semester in college has been absolutley horrible for me. For once, I'm not under a ton of stress so I decided to stop beating around the bush and finally take the pictures for Chapter 36 of Fury....I sincerely hope you enjoy it!


Chapter Thirty-Six









The weeks and months following the passing of the jumping exam were filled with nothing but rigorous practice and training for Kevin, Jason and Jennifer…With the competition drawing nigh at a little more than a month away, everyone at the stables, even those not involved were on edge….One afternoon, about four weeks before the competition, Jack called everybody into the dining room for yet another meeting….

“As you probably are all aware, the teams are going to be six people each. Jason, Kevin and Jennifer are obviously half the team, so you’re going to be paired up with three riders from another stable and today, they're planning on stopping over by here to get acquainted with their teammates, so I'd like you to all be kind enough to give them a big Six Gable Stables welcome!”

With almost planned timing, the doorbell to Jack’s house had rang.

“Ah, that’s probably them right now!”





Jack walked outside to answer the door. He recognized the middle aged woman as the owner and proprietor of another horse stable in the Crystal Falls region….As soon as Jennifer reached the edge of the patio, she found herself reunited with someone she would have never expected she would ever see again…..

“Oh. My. GOD!!!! It’s….MARISSA, GET OVER HERE!!!! IT’S SARAH AND MELANIE FROM HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!"




Likewise, Melanie Gauthier and Sarah Sherwood, the two female riders that accompanied the middle aged woman had similar reactions…

“Oh my god….Marissa? Jen?! AAAAAAIIIEEEEEE!!!! ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE’VE SEEN YOU!!!”
“We haven’t hung out since before we all went to college!!!! This is awesome, I can’t believe it! You guys were interested in riding too?”
“Yeah, we’ve always been!!!”
"Oh my GOD!! How come we never knew?!"
"I guess we just never got around to it!"


Karilla, having graduated high school in 2012 while Marissa and Jennifer graduated in 2009, wasn't quite sure why her two best friends were suddenly freaking out over the two female riders on their team. She sheepishly walked over to her friends in the hopes that they could give her some level of clarity. Thankfully, Marissa was more than happy to introduce her to Sarah and Melanie.

“By the way, this is Karilla. She also went to the same high school as all of us, but I didn’t meet her until I started riding here.”

To her surprise, Melanie knew who she was.

“I think I remember you, Karilla.....I knew that you had an interest in horses, but because you were a freshman while all four of us were all seniors, we never really talked in high school……In that case, it’s nice to officially meet you!”
“It’s nice to meet you too!”
“I’m Sarah, nice to meet you!”
“Likewise!”




After the girls all gave their introductions, it was the guys’ turn…Mike, Jason, and Kevin all walked down to the edge of the patio to introduce themselves to Marissa and Jennifer’s friends.

“And these…are the stable’s cowboy hunks! This is Michael, Karilla’s boyfriend. This is Jason, Mike’s best friend. And this is Kevin, Mike’s brother. Jason and Kevin are the ones on our team. Mike, Karilla, and Marissa aren’t a part of this. ”

Jennifer wasted no time introducing the guys to their friends. The boys all exchanged their handshakes and hellos to Sarah and Melanie.

“I’m surprised to see there is a good amount of men riding here…and….some pretty good lookin’ men to boot!”
“Thank you, you’d be surprised how much we get that….”Mike replied to Melanie.
“By the way, wasn’t there supposed to be three riders coming?” Jason asked.
“Yeah…he’s going to be coming soon……..unfortunatley.” said Sarah.




Within five minutes, an exuberantly expensive SUV pulled up to the front of the house…The driver side door swings open….and a brutally handsome, muscular man wearing cowboy boots, blue jeans, and a white polo shirt walked out...While the six friends from Six Gable Stables were looking forward to meeting the third rider, Sarah and Melanie both scoffed in disgust.

“And THAT….is Giuliano Balducci, the third rider from our stable….He’s my ex-boyfriend….You guys are probably not going to like him.” Sarah explained.
“Why not? We don’t even know him yet. I think we should give him a chance before we meet pass any brash judgment on the guy.” Said Mike, playing the role of peacekeeper.
“Let’s just say ….he tends to get on people’s nerves.”




Giuliano walked up to the group in a haughty “I’m too good for everyone”-esque manner…However, Mike was willing to give him the benefit of a doubt by introducing himself…

“Hey man! I’m Mike!”
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Okay…..not the talkative type, I see…”




While first appearing to be uninterested in meeting anyone, Giuliano’s eyes lit up as they focused on their target…

“Hey...Red.” Giuliano beckoned to Karilla.
“Yeah?”
“What’s your name, gorgeous?”
“Karilla”
“I’m Giuliano…I really gotta say Karilla…you’re pretty damn hot…..You know if you ever need someone to give you some company, I’m here….you interested?”
“Yeah, I’m aware that I’m pretty damn hot…..I’m pretty damn spoken for too…”




“What?”
“In case you didn’t know, Karilla is my girlfriend….”
“Oh…sh*t….sorry, man….But you gotta admit, your girlfriend’s fine!”
“Yeah…thanks.”




Giuliano slinked stealthily away from Karilla and Mike in record time….

“Okay Sarah was totally right, I only talked to the guy for two seconds and I already don’t f***ing like him.” Karilla told her boyfriend.
“AGREED. I already know what it’s gonna be like having him around here….not pleasant.”




Later in that same afternoon, Sarah and Melanie made the decision that it would be best to introduce their best animal friends to their human friends…

“The Appaloosa is my horse, Pepper! I know, it’s such a cliché name…”
“Names aren’t important, Sarah…All that matters is that you love your horse and your horse loves you! By the way, she sure is beautiful!”
“Thanks!”
“The yellow dun horse is mine, her name is Blossom!” Melanie spoke up.
“She looks a lot like Raven, my old horse!”
“Isn’t Raven Kevin’s horse?”
“She is now, but she used to be mine before I got Princess….Blossom really is a very pretty girl!”




Mike, Kevin and Jason took turns petting Blossom and Pepper with the girls…However, at that moment Giuliano showed up…much to everybody’s chagrin.

“What’s up, bros?!”
“Nothing much Giuliano, just making some new friends, that’s all.” said Kevin.
“Well, if you guys want to see what a REAL horse looks like, come follow me.”




Jason and Mike shrugged their shoulders and followed Giuliano, almost as if they didn’t really have a choice in the matter….Giuliano lead the two men to the other end of the paddock, where Giuliano’s beautiful black horse stands.

“That right there, is my horse. His name is Hercules...”
“Pretty fitting title for a horse like him!”
“He really is very beautiful, Giuliano…” Jason interjected.
“Trust me, I know. I’ve heard it all before...Obviously being a Percheron, he was worth a lot of money, but he was worth it in the end…He’s helped me a great deal, especially with the ladies if you know what I mean…”
“What do you mean?” Mike asked.
“Oh come on, you mean you can’t figure it out? A stud like me riding a beautiful black horse? Man, the chicks are ALL OVER me! Heh, why do you think I even got into riding in the first place?"




“What?” Jason asked with an angry tone.
“Yeah, man. Riding horses? You’d be surprised how many chicks are into that! Anyway, I gotta run.”




Jason looked at Mike with an angered expression on his face, clearly he did not enjoy what he just heard Giuliano say.

“Is this guy for f***ing real? He literally ONLY got interested in horses just because girls like guys who ride and that’s the ONLY reason?! God out of all the reasons…..and another thing, you don’t f***ing treat a horse like it’s a goddamn sports car. It’s a LIVING. THING.”
“Ugh…tell me about it bro….I’m gonna say the same thing I told Karilla a few hours ago….Having him among us is NOT going to be pleasant.”




As much as I don't want to admit it...I feel like we're coming into the homestretch of Fury and this current storyline might be one of the last before I conclude the story It's been a great three years since I've started this web series, and be assured, so long as this site is around and people are willing to give my writing skills a chance, I might try and write different stories, maybe using The Sims 2 sometimes! Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated!
