A/N: What even is this plot?
--------------------------------------------
It has barely been half an hour since you had arrived at the Wings of Freedom Horse Ranch, which you had inherited from your unknown and deceased relative. And you have gotten into some trouble already!
The fault is not your own, of course. It is whoever decided it was a good idea to put a muzzle on the dispirited horse; 'Titan Brat', that's at fault here. And thanks to that, your hand is bleeding.
Holy heck, that's a lot of blood!
Even though you pressed on the horse bite hard as you could, your blood continued to spill like a broken faucet.
This is bad.
Really bad.
You call for help, but nobody responds.
You started to feel woozy as you take out your phone.
Before you could emergency dial, you black out.

?????? POV:
Cute?
CUTE?!
I am NOT cute!
How DARE that human imply that I was cute?!
I am HANDSOME and MASCULINE!
As I was seething in my 'sanctuary' (the one made from the finest hay), I heard a commotion. Curious, I went to the door of the stall; but even on my hind legs, I could not reach my head over the polished wood to see what was the matter. Whoever built this made it too high! I'll order my servant to fix that later. Right now, there was a more pressing matter to attend.
"What is going on out there?!" I called out to the horse demon in the stall beside me. The humans call him Crow, but all horses have another name- one that is known to us horses only. Since he is contracted to me, I named him Butler. I hated my original horse name, so I ordered Butler to make it so the humans named me what I wanted: Earl Grey. That is the finest name for a noble horse such as myself. It matched my pedigree.
"Our new 'master/mistress' had been bitten by Hunter, mi'lord." He answered.
"Good."
?????? POV:
"Oh well done, Titan Brat!" Called Leviathan (Heicho). "Is she/he okay?!" Cried Potato (she liked the name that the humans gave her over her horse name). "Hunter! Why would you do that?!" cried Ocean (Blond Coconut). "Somebody do something!" Freckled Jesus panicked. "Hunter, are you alright?" I groaned at Three Bamboo Hat's question. How typical of her to worry only for me. She is so obsessed with me that she insists that her horse name is 'Huntress'. But this is a whole new level of obsession- to the point that she disregards the fact that our new master/mistress is hurt!
I was too ashamed to reply, so I sulked back into the darkness of the stable. I didn't mean to bite him/her! It just felt good to fully open my mouth again after I was forced to wear that stupid muzzle. I feel so guilty!
Crow/Butler's POV:
I snickered at my contractor's attitude towards our new mistress/master. But I was intrigued at what the human would do next.
Would they scream at Titan Brat?
Would they curse the heavens over the pain?
The master/mistress just hissed through his/her teeth and clutched the bleeding appendage. She/he called for help, but the other humans were too far away from the vicinity to hear.
Oh?
He/She fainted.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
How utterly amusing!
It was at that moment I smelled their blood.
My eyes flashed at the scent. Though it is not a requirement to drink blood like a vampire, it is still delicious to beings like me since it tastes very similar to the actual soul (which tastes ten times better than the blood). I could smell a little bit of their soul earlier when they tried to pet me, and it was absolutely delicious! But now that I smell his/her blood, it was immediate obsession. But alas, I was already chained to a bratty colt- whose soul is now second-best compared to this (y/n)-human.
I will have to get closer to her/him, possibly even make it so that I become her/his favorite horse. That way, I can learn more about them. Once I learn what it is they desire, I shall reveal my true nature and propose a deal.
But I cannot do that if they die of blood loss, now can I?
So I stuck my head over the gate, and used my mouth to grip the latch. Once it clicked, I walked forward, pushing open the door. This caused the other horses to fall silent.
"Butler? Since when can you open doors?" Questioned Snufflelofagus. At that moment, the sound of Earl Grey rushing out of his hay pile met my ears.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING BUTLER?!" He demanded.
"I am going to assist our new mistress/master, sir."
"How? You don't even have hands! And how dare you not tell me that you can open doors?!"
"You never asked, mi'lord." I responded politely, even though I would rather ignore the brat.
"Well open my door then! THAT'S AN ORDER!"
How troublesome. It is obvious that the human needed immediate help. Plus, it is more difficult to open a stable door from the outside. But the young master gave an order, so I had no choice. I could have transformed myself into a human temporarily to make this process faster, but that would blow our cover to the other horses that I am a demon horse. Besides, if I couldn't obey an order, what kind of servant would I be?
Unfortunately, my chance to save the human had been taken by 'Shorty'. He may be one hell of a tiny horse, but he definitely has unnatural strength! He kicked down the door to his stable and galloped over to the unconscious human. I could have done that too, but then that would be unbecoming of a noble servant that I am.
"TCH! Of course you'd choose the brat over our new master/mistress." He snarked.
"EXCUSE YOU?!" Earl Grey bellowed in a high pitched tone.
"Naturally, the young master comes first." I responded. "My horse name is Butler for a reason, you know."
"It should be changed to {[(CENSORED)]}." He replied. How rude!
Shorty proceeded to trot over to Titan Brat's stall. Once there, he kicked down that door with his back hooves.
CRASH!
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Hunter screamed.
"Shaddap and help me, Titan Brat! We need to find the other humans."
Third Person
The two started to run towards the exit. As they ran, the sound of wood getting smashed met their ears. Turning their heads, they saw Huntress running after them. "I'm going with you, Hunter!" She whinnied.
The trio were stopped by the gargantuan doors of the stable. No matter how many times they kicked, the doors wouldn't budge or break. Blond Coconut examined how Crow opened Earl Grey's stall and copied what he did to open his own door. Once it was opened, he joined the others.
"We need to all push together!" He exclaimed. The three horses proceeded to lower their heads, and push at the doors. They moved only a little bit. Ocean knew that he was too weak to do it, so he opened the stalls of the other horses instead.
Meanwhile, Earl grey and Crow were standing over the unconscious human. "*Sigh*. I suppose I ought to help too." The colt bemoaned. "My reputation will be ruined if I let the human die." Then he turned to Crow. "Butler, I order you to save the human."
"Yes, mi'lord."

To be continued, maybe!
