"Ok, here we go." Holden said as he lifted Amanda up and put her on Kali. He adjusted the stirrups to Amanda's legs. He put her feet in, "How does that feel?" He asked with a smile.

"Ya." Amanda said with a smile.

"Ok, now don't do anything until I get mounted." He said as he went to grab the mounting block. He put it next to Zera, and he climbed up. He gently sat down and adjusted, "Come on up Jason." He said as he scooted back in the saddle.

Jason slowly climbed up the block.

Holden quickly grabbed Jason and set him in front of himself. "You ok?" He asked.

"Y-..ya." Jason said a little nervous.

"Ok, let us ride off into the sunset." He said with a laugh as he gently kicked Zera's sides to make her go. "Follow me Kali." "Follow me Amanda." He said as he went out the gate.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shrugged, "We'll see...but most likely that will be the case since I don't really know who else could do it. You just have to be a good girl from now on. Alright?

Hayden nodded, "I promise Ill be good Solo. I prroommiissse~"

[Bovice]

Holden heard some rustling in the grass on the trail. "That better not be." He thought to himself. He opened his mind to everything around him, "If your an animal don't you even think about attacking me." He said slightly peeved. "Damn animals, they are swarming to me Solomon." He said narrowing his eyes. A low growl escaped his throat.

"What's wrong daddy?" Jason asked concerned.

"Animals, they hate vampires. They tend to attack." Holden said in a whisper so Amanda couldn't hear him. "Amanda how are you doing back there?" He asked looking at her.

"I'm fine." Amanda said sounding a little scared.

"Good, the trail is almost over. And we will take a break by the pond so the horses can rest for a few." Holden said.

[Evil Tink]

"Well..I'm sorry..."Solomon smiled, "I know you will..or at least you'll do your best to. While I'm teaching Holden his other powers, we'll slowly get some blood in you and hopefully also work on your aggression issues as well. Does that sound like a plan?" He gave her a slight squeeze, carrying her outside to the pastures. Varies horse breeds and colors roamed about or munched on the grass.

"W-which one is mine?" She stares silently. They were beautiful creatures indeed.

Solomon pointed to a light chestnut Holstien, "Her..she's a 4 year old Holstein; imported from Germany wher the breed is most pure.. I thought you'd like her. Her personality matches yours almost perfectly. I think you two will get along very well. Want to meet her alone?" He set Hayden down, letting out a few quick whistles. The mare trotted over with a nicker, "I can take her to the arena if you want to pet her?"

Hayden stared at the horse for a moment. She was ssooo beautiful. She reached out her hand to allow the horse to sniff it. She quickly pulled it back as the horse's ears flattened and she squealed. "Shh shh~ Ich würde nie solch ein schönes Geschöpf wie selbst verletzen(I would never hurt such a beautiful creature like yourself). Mag ich pet Sie bitte?(May I pet you please)?"
The horse snorted, "Ah,so verstehen Sie uns außerdem(so you understand us as well). Während I don' t mögen Ihren Geruch, you' Reziemlich nettes sich. Dieser Mann sagte etwas über ein nettes Mädchen. .was er über Sie sprechend(While I don't like your smell, you're rather cute yourself. That man said something about a cute girl..was he talking about you)?"
Hayden nodded with a smile, "Ja. Bitte?(Yes. Please?)" Hayden was pleased to find the horse lowered her nose again, touching it's velvety surface to her hand. "Ihre Nase ist so weich~(Your nose is so soft~)"
"Danke(Thank you)." the Holstein raised her head once Hayden's hand was removed, trotting a few circles near them.

Hayden looked over to Solomon, almost forgetting to answer him, "No, that's fine. I can tell she wants to stay with the herd. Maybe in a few days once they've all settled in. I love her though~ She's so pretty and she seems nice. I'll have to teach her English though.." She chuckled a bit, noticing how ridiculous that sounded, "Teaching a horse a language..that's funny, but I know she can do it." She looked to the horse with a smile, "Gehen Spiel(Go play)." The horse nickered and galloped off to meet up with the herd.

Solomon nodded, "She's picking it up from me, but if you want the task of completely teaching her a whole new language, have at it. She's yours after all. Do you have a name for her yet? She refused to tell me anything." Seeing Hayden shake her head, he picked her up again, "You'll have to think of a good one." He took her inside, wondering when Holden and the kids would get back.

[Bovice]

Suddenly Amanda screamed really loud.

"Amanda what's wrong?" Holden said covering his ears and turning around. "Rilov, stop nibbling on her dress." He said with a laugh. "Amanda it's ok. It's just one of Solomon's horses. He must of broke out of his stall." He said as he got down off of Zera. "Rilov what are you doing here?" He asked as he lifted Jason off of Zera.

"I was lonely."
"I'm sorry, you could of asked me to come along." Holden said lifting Amanda off of Kali. "Are you ok kiddo?" He asked holding Amanda.
"Sorry." Rilov looked down.

"I'm fine." Amanda said sniffling.

"Ok." He said giving her a hug. "It's ok Rilov, I think we are just gonna walk back." He said as he set down Amanda. "We are gonna walk back, is that ok you two?" He said also asking Kali and Zera.
"That's fine."

"I guess." Amanda said wiping her eyes.

"Can I ride Zera back?" Jason asked as he pet Zera.

"Sure, but just stay with me and Amanda." Holden said with a smile. He picked Jason up and gently placed Jason on Zera's back. "Now take it easy on him Zera." He said as he gently patted Zera's butt.

"Ok everyone let's head back." Holden said as he unclipped Kali's reins. He grabbed Amanda's hand and started back, with Kali and Rilov in tow. "Rilov broke out of his stall." Holden said with a small laugh in Solomon's head.

[Evil Tink]

"That little bastard...that's the third time today. I'm going to have to change the latch on his door." Solomon sighed as he set Hayden down, "I'll be right back..I think to go see if Jack and I can come up with a solution to our escaping horse." With that he headed back outside to the barn.

Hayden nodded, "Okay.." She looked around, wondering what to do.

[Bovice]

"He was just lonely Solomon." Holden said with a smile. "We should be back shortly, but we will have to go because I need to get Amanda and Jason to bed." He said with a sigh.

"What's wrong Holden." Amanda asked looking up at Holden.

"Oh nothing, after we get back with the horses we have to go home." He said with a small frown.

[Evil Tink]

"I understand...I'd offer to have you stay here, but I'm going to be up with Hayden all night trying to figure out how to..repair her." He met up with Jack, discussing various options with him before deciding on putting a pole on the track so Rilov couldn't push the door open. He tested it out a few times, and once satisfied, he waited for the group to return while Jack went to rest.

[Bovice]

Holden nodded, not that Solomon could see it. He closed his eyes and just listened to the wind gently blow. They made it back to the barn about twenty-five minutes later. He walked into the barn and stopped Zera. "You two wanna help me brush the horses?" He asked as he saw Solomon. He smiled slightly at Solomon, he started to take Zera's tack off. When he was done he put her in her stall. He went to take off Kali's tack.

Amanda nodded with a small yawn.

"Sure daddy." Jason said watching Holden take the tack off of Zera.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon leaned up on the door, narrowing his eyes as Rilov came sulking in, "Yeah, you're in trouble mister. I told you, no trails yet...Rita hasn't given you your check up. Now get." The horse slowly walked into his stall, his face in the corner as Solomon slid the door shut, latched it and put the pole down. Even as he went over to Holden and the kids, Rilov didn't move. "How was it?"

[Bovice]

"It was really fun." Jason said running up to Solomon. "If daddy say it is ok, can I come back and ride Zera?" He said looking up at Solomon with purple eyes. "Please?" Jason asked with a big smile.

Holden smiled as Jason talked to Solomon. He finished taking off Kali's tack, he picked up Zera's tack and took it to the tack room. He sighed as he put the tack in the right place. Holden leaned against a empty wall and rubbed his temples.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon crouched down to eye level, "Of course! I can even let you..adopt one of the horses, if you wish. Oh~ I just just the little colt, he's only a year and a half, so he's got a lot of growing to do, just like yourself. He's really sweet, like Holden." "Don't forget, I promised you the whip~" He gave Jason a quick hug, "He's not here right now, but I expect to have him and his sister delivered by the end of the month."

[Bovice]

"Really?! You mean it?" Jason said squeezing Solomon back.

"I know Solomon. I just don't feel good right now." Holden said with another sigh as he grabbed a couple brushes. He put on a smile as he left the tack room. "Ok Amanda, Jason I want you to watch me when I brush Kali, and then I want you two to brush Zera." He said with a weak smile. He was starting to get dizzy, but he shrugged it off. He knew it was because he used a lot of his power, earlier. He started to brush Kali, but he fell to his knees after a few seconds.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon hurried over, catching Holden, "You should've brought water with you, you're probably dehydrated. Come on guys, we'll have a light snack then you'll have to go home. I'll take care of the horses when you leave."Hayden, be a dear and grab a bottle of blood from the fridge? Holden is going to need it."

He carried Holden inside, knowing the kids would follow; after he she the stall doors of course. He set Holden down in the dinning room, looking to Hayden and nodding towards Amanda.

"Right!" She grabbed Amanda's arm, dragging Amanda to the kitchen, "Come on! Anne knows a wonderful ice cream sundae recipe!"

Solomon popped the top off the bottle, handing it to Holden once Amanda was gone, "Here."

[Bovice]

"Probably." Holden said weakly. He grabbed his head when he was sat down. "Thanks." He said as he grabbed the bottle. He quickly chugged the bottle of blood. His headache went away after a few minutes. "At least I didn't pass out this time." Holden said with a small smile.

Jason and Amanda followed Solomon.

Amanda was worried about Holden but was excited about ice cream.

Jason looked at Holden, "Are you ok daddy?" He asked.

"I'm fine, go and get some ice cream with Amanda." Holden said nodding.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden walked up to Anne, tugging lightly on the edge of her chef's coat, "Anne? Is it alright if I bother you for three sundaes? You just make the most wonderful ones~"

Anne looked away from the cake she was making and smile, "Of course! Let me just finish this rose, get it in a cool place, then I'll whip you up some ice cream~" She quickly finished the roses on the cake and stored it, moving about the kitchen and freezer, grabbing the necessary ingredients.

Solomon handed Holden another bottle, "At least, but you have to learn how to stretch your power to it's max without using all of it; which I will teach you in time...I should really have Hayden help you with it as well, she's a master at it."
