Gena stood in the quiet barn isle waiting. The only noise was of the horses pawing and neighing to one another. There was one person that Gena needed to see very badly, Taylor. She had heard the news from the vet but she needed to talk to Taylor. Shaking her head, she waited.

Taylor's eyes were blood-shot, her throat was sore, and her heart was broken, as she walked back to the barn to find comfort in Skylar's only foal, Tempest. She wished that she could rewind time and ride Skylar one last time, bringing tears to her eyes again. Taylor was so absorbed in her hurt and loss, she almost ran into Gena. "Oh, sorry, Gena. I was just going to see Tempest," she said in a hoarse voice.

(Yes, she was put down because of Navicular Disease, Google it)
The silence suggested that someone had just died, making everything worse for Taylor.

(It's only supposed to be me and Super, so you need her permission)
Since the sun was almost set, and the wind was whistling eerily, it made that stable feel spooky, sending goosebumps all up Taylor's arms and neck.

(This is just us and please do not post in here. To ask Trophy a question you need to PM her sorry)
Gena looked up to see Taylor walking over. "You can talk to me Taylor." She wasn't going to come out and say that she knew. She wanted Taylor to tell her herself first. Gena was touched by how she tried to hold up and she was trying to be calm. If anything happened to her horses she would be a mess.

Taylor crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Gena with no expression. She couldn't help but smile when she heard Tempest's familiar high-pitched whinny coming from the other end of the barn. She saw the eight-month-old filly sticking her head over her stall door, looking out at Taylor and Gena. Taylor sighed and looked back at Gena. "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm fine," she said, colder than she had expected. (I aged her a bit so she didn't need to nurse anymore, hope that's okay  |

Gena nodded, "Alright, why were you crying?" She nodded toward the foal to suggest walking over to her. Gena went to the stall door and smiled at the foal. A small breeze came through the isle and pulled at her black locks.

Taylor shrugged, avoiding Gena's eyes. She watched Tempest look at the with pricked ears and bright eyes, but even that couldn't make her very happy now. Taylor swallowed and listened to the sound of horses moving around in their stalls and nickering.

"Taylor you know you can tell me anything. I am here for you." Gena put her arms around her student and held her softly. Her breath was warm although some cool rain fell outside in the wind.

Taylor shook her head, and pulled out of Gena's hug. "You wouldn't understand. I didn't just lose a horse when she died, I lost my best friend. My very first horse, and I've owned her for around seven years," she said, shaking her head.

Gena shook her head, "Taylor, you do not understand. I have been riding and have owned horses for many many years. I have had them pass away before. It happens. Yes, it feels like your heart is breaking. It does feel like a piece of you was taken away. I know. You need to understand that everyone eventually goes through this. Maybe they lost a horse, a family member, or a best friend. You have to learn from it. Learn to know that you loved her as much as you could and her, you. I saw the way you were together, I know you were best friends. She is in a better place now but she didn't leave you alone. She left you with a horse that you can help to grow up and love in honer of Skylar. She left you Tempest Taylor." Gena allowed her to pull away but looked her right in the eye. "Don't run from the pain. Don't turn your back on everything you know. Love life, for Skylar."

Taylor thoguht about what Gena said, but still frowned. She didn't know how to deal with all of these emotions that she was experiencing, even if Gena was trying to help her. "Well, I'd like to go back home, so I can at least be with my mom. I already lost Skylar to some disease, and I'm losing my mom to cancer. I want to be there with her," she said bitterly, watching Tempest nibble on a bit of hay. "I'm not selling Tempest, but I don't think I can stay here anymore." (She won't be gone for a long time |

"Do you want to leave her here for now?" Gena let her bitter voice fly over her head. She knew she was sad but now angry too. She turned to watch the foal eat.

"No, I'm taking her with me," Taylor said, looking at Tempest with her swollen red eyes.

Taylor nodded and opened the stall door wordlessly. Tempest, realizing that her owner didn't have treats, had lied down in the straw bedding and started dozing. Taylor sat down next to her and stroked the filly's neck slowly.

Gena walked up to the stall, "We all care a lot about you Taylor. I want you to know that when you come back, we will all have missed you and will want to help you feel completely happy again."

"Thanks, Gena, that means a lot to me," Taylor said quietly, looking at her while she stroked the filly's neck. Tempest sighed and put her head in her lap.

"You are really lucky to have Tempest." Gena smiled at the two, "You can call whenever you want to talk. I should get to my lesson but I will miss you Taylor."

"Bye," Taylor said, watching her leave. When she couldn't hear her footsteps, she hugged Tempest tighter and started crying into her small neck. Tempest stayed completely still, listening to her sobs.
