Chapter 4

Fikia said, "So you're returning from your night stay with your prince charming?"

"Man you sound jealous, besides nothing happened, "Fira said.

"Then what that I heard outside his door about a kiss," Fikia said.

Fira said in shock, "You were spying?"

"Duh, you don't think I don't know how to do you?" Fikia said.

"No but I got to go now I'm going to teach Tommy to horse ride. Bye," said Fira who ran out of the hall in to her room before her sister could say anything. She knew that she was all ready going to have to go out the window so her mom didn't know she was going horse riding without her dress being done. She put on her pants and went to the window. She was fine with climbing down, she had done it many times before so she got started fast and when she was almost all the way down she heard a scream.

Tommy had screamed at her, "What are you doing? Do you know you could get hurt?"

"It's no problem I do this a lot to get away from my mother, "Fira informed Tommy.

"Sneaking out to see guys huh?" Tommy asked with sarcasm.

Fira said, "No, I do it to go horseback riding, to think or just to go down to the pond. Makes life easier to deal with my mother. Believe me everyone needs a break who lives with her."

"I do believe you I believe you very easily. Okay so what are we doing?" Tommy asked.

Fira smiled and told him, "Horseback riding. Come on."

As Fira ran into the stable Tommy yelled, "I don't know how to ride a horse though."

"So what does that matter?" Fira said then she heard Tommy sigh so she added, "Oh don't worry Ryan will get you a calm horse you won't need to know how to ride. Now where is Ryan? Man this might take a while, wait here, ok?" Tommy nodded so she took off to search the stable. As she walked, she called out," Ryan where are you?" soon she heard a snap so she looked up. There was a boy up in the roof cross bars Fira waved to him and he jumped down.

The boy said, "Hello Fira out for another horse ride?"

"Yes Ryan and this time I brought a friend. The only thing is he doesn't know how to ride," Fira told Ryan.

Ryan shocked asked, "He? Since when do you ride with guys last time I asked you said you never ride with guy and I said..."

"And you said never say never, I remember," Fira admitted to Ryan.

"So let's go meet this young man," said Ryan extending his arm and Fira knew what he meant so she grabbed on to his arm tight, for she knew what was going to happen. Ryan jumped up and when they landed they were right in front of Tommy.

Tommy scream, "What was that?!"

"Sorry to scare you Ryan is a..."she stopped and looked at Ryan.

"I'm a vampire," Ryan finished for Fira. Seeing the shock on Tommy's face he said, "Don't worry I won't hurt you or anyone around here I only drink people's blood with their permission and not much of it when I do." He saw Tommy's face lighten.

"Okay so which horse do I get to ride?" Tommy asked to change the subject.

"Fira will be riding Fireball, that one," Ryan said pointing at a black horse with a blood red mane and tail, then he added, "and you will be riding Demon while I ride Baby."

"WHAT?! Fira you said he would give me a calm horse." Tommy said in a very scared shock.

"I'm sorry the horses' names are wrong?" Fira told Tommy.

Then Tommy asked confused, "What do you mean the horses' names are wrong?"

"She is saying that the horse tempers are the opposite of their names. Baby is actually the meanest horse, there are only certain people who can ride him, and he doesn't like strangers too much. Diamond and Sugar are calmer horses but not as calm as Demon. One crazy thing is Fireball can be even meaner then Baby no one can ride her but Fira," Ryan said smiling at Fira. "So let's get a move on, shall we?"

"I'm not sure about this but okay," Tommy said as he went over by the horses. He reached out and petted Fireball and to Fira's shock nothing happened.

"How did you do that?" questioned Ryan.

Tommy said, "How did I do what? All I did is pet Fireball."

"That's the thing no one ever can pet Fireball but me that's why I have to take care of him and Ryan can't," said Fira.

"Really? Man I thought maybe it just didn't like for anyone to ride it but you," stated Tommy.

Ryan popped in and said, "She must like you, like some one else."

"WHAT?!" screamed both Tommy and Fira. Though they knew what he had meant.

"Okay fine act like you two don't know but you do. Fira go ahead and put out Fireball and I'll help Tommy with Demon," he heard Fira say okay and went with Tommy to Demon's stall and asked Tommy, "You do like her, right?" He got no answer from Tommy so he added, "You don't have to act like you don't besides she doesn't care, and she likes you just to let you know."

"I already know, she told me, but I'm no good for her she is royalty," Tommy said in disgrace.

Ryan said in shock and a low voice, "She doesn't care that your royalty or not, why should you? Besides you have a secret that even you do not know but you will find out soon but don't think it is too late to do anything about it for nothing is ever too late."

Tommy after staying quiet for some time said, "What do you mean?"

"You will find out soon enough," Ryan told Tommy as he left Tommy stand there to go get Baby.

Fira screamed into the stable from outside, "Hurry up I want to get going before mother and Fikia realizes I'm not in my room." Tommy and Ryan came out with their horses and Fira said, "Finally! Now let's go."

Ryan helped Tommy on Demon and got on Baby and told Tommy, "Let's go."

"What about Fira?" Tommy asked.

"Just watch let's go. "Ryan said and got Baby moving. Tommy started to follow Ryan but he kept looking back at Fira who was walking away from her horse.
