Beauty is a beast

Will

Once the rope was down I felt small rocks hit my shoulder as I swiped at it and looked up to see black boots climbing down to finally lands in front of me. It was a teenage male, maybe a year older then me. He smiled as he crouched down in front of me.

"Hey you OK? What happened?" He asked as he looks at my ankle. I shook my head as I look up to the cliff where a boy with brown shaggy hair called down to the boy that was down here with me. "Hey Will, is she okay?" He asked as Will called up to him. "Its seems that she may have twisted her ankle. But ice and enough rest, should do," he then grabs his rope and tied it around my waist as he whistles for the rope to start being pulled up. I gasped at the sudden motion as I held tightly to the rope.

Once to the top the other boy who was younger then me by two years grabbed me and held me sit down as he untied the rope and passed the rope down as I looked at the horses that were looking at me. I blinked at them before turning my head.

"Hey I'm Bailey, this is my cousin Will. What were you doing down there and how did you get down there?" Bailey asks as I thought carefully. I can't say anything that will say my secret. If I did then they would leave or use me as a secret weapon. "Um...I was walking around here, cause I heard wild horses are out here. And I wanted to see them so I can draw them. And I was walking around the curve there" I pointed to the where the trail curved

"And this mare, this beautiful mare ran passed me and I kind of slipped and fell off the cliff. And that's when you found me." i finished as they nodded. Bailey got onto his horse as Will picked me up bridal style and put me on his horse which was stallion with blonde locks and black highlights. The stallion looked up at me as I held onto the reigns while Will got on and wrapped an arm around my waist to secure me from falling off.

Then we were off as they ran off towards the ranch that I had escaped not to long ago. The horse we were on was the boy's horse who had tried to welcome me when Will brought him out, but I just looked away from him and kept my head against the pull that they had wrapped me around when I first had entered. Jimber, I think his name was.

"So what's your name?" he asked as I looked up at him with my blue azure eyes. "Luna" I softly spoke as he nods as I notice a small blush appearing on his face as I chuckled a bit before noticing we were close to the Horseland Ranch. Once inside the fences, Will stopped along with his cousin Bailey, and dismounted from their horses as Bailey spoke. "Hey I'll take in the horses, you help her out to the house." Bailey then wrapped his hand around Jimber's reign and looked at Will who helped me off and wrapped his arm around my waist to see I was putting any weight on my ankle. When he sees he had me, he crouched down before picking me up again bridal style with my legs hanging lifeless over his arm. I hooked my arms around his neck as he smiled.

"Well Luna, you can stay here for a bit until that leg is healed up, which won't be long. I hope," He informed as I looked at him as my lips were parted a bit before I spoke. "I hope, I think your trying to get rid of me, How rude" I sarcastically said as he chuckles at my comment as he opens the door to the house and walked up the stairs to one of the many rooms that I noticed were either occupied or empty.

"No I'm not trying to get rid of you, it's just maybe your family are just getting worried for you." he added as he opened a small door where there was a bed freshly made waiting for some one to occupy it. Will set me down as I unwrapped my arms around his neck and moved myself so I would be in a perfect and comfortable. "Now I'm going to go see if I can find some spare pj's that my aunt might have, and then I will also grab some ice and bandages so I can wrap that ankle of yours" he then left me to the small lit room where I looked down to my lap and sighed. "Damn it, I should have watched where I was going. I wouldn't be here and also in this putrid form." I growled at myself and gripped onto the duvet of the bed and sighed. Yes, i know I was beautiful, I won't lie about that. But it's this beauty that I can't stand because boys will fall for me. But in my black mare form. People that would hike around the hills of our baring home, would be so in awe at my black coat. I was beauty in their eyes with beautiful azure eyes, showing nothing but the ocean. Whatever that is.

I then heard the door open to see the familiar blonde haired boy holding a blue plain shirt and grey shorts that were neatly folded. Along with a ice pack that laid on top of the pile of clothes along with the familiar beige bandages as he sets the pile down and looked at me. "I'll turn my back so I can give you some privacy but if I hear any trouble. I'm helping you right away even when you reject my help" he warns as I blush and nod as he turns his back to me. I slowly took off my dress as it pooled around feet and slowly slipped into the blue shirt, then pulled onto the grey shorts. I left the crescent necklace as I slipped off my black boots before getting back into my comfortable position on the bed.

"Ok I'm finished," I spoke as he turned around and walked over to the bed and sat on to the edge as he pulled my bad leg to him and started to wrap my ankle in the tan wrappings as he was using a steady hand as he wrapped the bandage tightly but carefully. I squeaked when I felt a tight sensation around the worsen part of my ankle. He stopped as he looked at me and widen his eyes before I calmed down and just smiled at him. When he was finished, he removed the blankets and told me to get under as grabbed a small fluffed up pillow and put it under my ankle to have rest it upon. He then put the ice pack onto the ankle where I felt the chilled temperature bag cool down the swelling that formed around where the spot was.

"Now rest Luna, and I'll check up on you tomorrow morning" Will then got up and walked out. Before he closed the door, I called out to him which made him stop. "Thank you, for helping me back there." I say before falling asleep into the fluffy bed as I felt the familiar darkness take over me.
