It was already noon, when Jezebel found Jake in the kitchen, staring into his coffee, without anything to do. He already trained a bit with Hell to behave better at hand, but she was stubborn, just like her mother. Maybe that's why he got the task to care for the mare until someone wants to buy her. However for now he had nothing to do what drove him crazy since his nightmares returned . It was nearly impossible to resist the urge to take drugs right now. Just doing somewhat against the pain. He sighed. That wasn't the life he ever imagined, no, it was far beyond what anyone'd call perfect paradise.

„Jake? Everything ok?“

„Why ya still asking Jez, ya know the answer already.“, he murmured burriying his head under is arms. „Well...dunno, maybe I wanna hear another response?“

„Then don't ask again, I don't wanna disappoint ya all the time.“

„However, instead of sitting here around, you could do something.“

„And what does the big boss suggest?“

„Watch out Jake! Anyways, I thougt of Ace.“

„What's wrong with him?“

„He's extremely unchallenged. I suggest ya to work with him again. I know you still have the connections, so why don't you try to get him back into film buisness?“

„Mhm..“

„C'mon. I can't watch this stallion rot in our stable. Hes' too talented for such a fate.“

„I know. But it's not that easy. Have problems with communicating for a while. I can't speak with him, he doesn't understand anything and so it goes for me.“

„... Maybe you should give it a try again? Maybe he's just as frightened as you.“

„Frightened of what?“ Thats what made Jake looking into Jez' face.

„Frightened of loosing the only one he loves who's still by his side. And by encapsulating himself he trys to avoid the pain if it happens after all.“

„ Sounds.. plausible.“

„Tz.. Plausible. If thats all you have to say to my these well then, just let him rot in his shelter.“

„Hey.. I didn't mean to-“

„Yeah yeah, it's ok. I'll go, have to do some things..“

It doesn't matter what she'd tell him, he wouldn't come out of his fortress. She knew, this evening it would escalate again. The alcohol and drugs would win over and maybe no propably the emergency would visit them again after his excess. She sighed. Why was she doing that? Accepting his addiction? She already heard Ilays voice in her head, cuz he asked always this question.

'Why? Well, because Sam would have done the same for me..'

It was late night when Jezebel woke up. Everything was dark though it was full moon tonight.

And she was awake, what annoyed her pretty much. Those sleepless nights that overcame her sometimes began to get on her nerves. „Well, I just go to the beach, breath some fresh air of the sea and then I can sleep again..“ she murmured to herself.

Said and done, now she stood in the darkness, clouds where hiding the moon just some few wholes opened the wall so that a small light could reach to the sandy floor.

Suddenly Jez got goosebumps. It was a bit cold outside and she just had panties on.

„Damn it. Great idea Jez, welcome your cold tomorrow.“ she said to herself since nobody seemed to be at the beach.

Suddenly she nearly jumped out of her skin hearing a scream she never heard before. „What the hell?“ It nearly sounded like something harpy like. But even more strange.

To make it even worse, there suddenly appeared a shadow, changing direction directly to her.

'Oh my god'

She couldn't think of anything else, but she recognized the rearing something in front of her to late. Again that terrifiying scream. The shadow was it owner, who now reared over her, she just saw some black hooves, a scream, and she stumbled back.

„HELP!“

„Why should anyone help ya, you are alone here..“

Again she screamed, now so horrified that she nearly got a heart attack. What was happening here? A kidnapper? Sourcerer? Not funny there are so many horses out here with magical abilitys as well as sourcerer. DEMONS?

Suddenly a hand made her stop screaming, but not harsh or brutal.

„Hey, calm down Jez... It's just us, Ace and Jake.“

„What? YOU? You damn BASTARD! You creeped the hell out of me! I got a heart attack. Do ya wanna KILL me??“

He immediately remained silent. It wouldn't make sense to try to explain anything until Jezebel calmed down. And that would take a while, he really scared her to death.

After an half hour, Jake could finally speak again to defend his stallion and himself.

„Listen darling, we are practising a bit. I.. I thought about your words.. well and it didn't took me long to get an offer of an agency. So Ace has a job again and now we rehearse a bit.“

„That does not explain why he has blue glowing eyes, screames like a harpy and trys to kill me with his hooves!!“

„Potions.“

„Wha- wait what? But why?“

„ Ever watched Lord of the rings?“ After she nodded he continued „Heard of Nazguls? The black riders on their black horses. Ace gonna play a similiar role in a fantasyfilm. Can't remember the name but they are beginning soon, so I have to teach him to be horrifiying as hell. I didn't plan ya as his victim... Sorry for that..“

She still was breathing heavily. „ At least you're doing something... you are so damn happy that you were so important to Sam otherwhise I'd expelled IMMEDIATELY!“

„You can still do that, there's no need for me on HHS. I just create one problem after the other. Don't look like that at me, you know it's true. I'm the cause that some people don't like to buy some horses! Because they don't understand why you still let me be here, even if I'm totally fallen for the bad.“

„Well.. I see you are sober.“ She interrupted or answered him blank.

„What?!“

„ I need some sleep. Don't fright any other ones, exspecially not Ilay.“

With that she turned around and walked back to the stable, suddenly very tired.

„Hey.. why are ya doing that?“

„What?“

„ Accepting me with all my faults?“

„I already said that... Good night.“
