Sneak peak into my side series for “The Runt”: Family Line
i’ve decided to gift to you guys this little drabble sneak peak of Family Line, my side series for The Runt 🥹
Artax whinnied as he galloped around the small arena, bucking wildly as he tossed his head and reared, once again throwing Jesse off of his back and into a nearby thorn bush. The yearling snorted as he cantered around in circles, trying to find an escape around the fence but there was none, he charged towards the wood but then skidded to a stop at the last minute — he wanted to jump but he didn’t know how to.
“Stupid fucking horse!,” Jesse cursed, standing up in the thorn bush as he threw a stick covered in barbed wire at Artax, hitting the poor horse in the withers and causing a nasty laceration running from his withers to his mid-shoulder.
The yearling screeched, spooking again as he galloped to the far corner of the arena, rearing and tossing his head again, blood spilling from the fresh wound.
Artax could feel the metallic taste of blood in his mouth as he tried to spit out the harsh bit that had been jammed into his mouth, spooking at the sight of Jesse hopping the fence and trying to grab his reins, the yearling whinnied again, kicking at Jesse as his ears pinned backwards. He was clearly terrified and he didn’t want this man anywhere near him.
“Jesse what the fuck is wrong with you!,” a younger voice echoed throughout the ranch
The bay mustang’s ears pricked up, his nostrils flaring as he heard the sounds of Vi struggling, yelling about something but he couldn’t quite make it out, but all he knew was that she was angry, more than likely angry at Jesse, she was being held back by an older man, a man who was much older than both her and Jesse.
Artax remembered how a few nights ago she took care of him, how she helped him calm down and settle into this funny thing that these people called a stall, it had comfy bedding in it but there wasn’t in food or water in his stall unlike the other horses stalls who had plenty of food and water in them. He also remembered how she tended to the nasty grazes in his knees from the day he was rounded up, and that she’d given him the name “Artax”, and that somewhere out there there is a little girl who will love him.
He wondered where that little girl was if what she said was true, where was his little girl?
