Terror Smile stood in her stall, Hailey Levine crouched beside her. Aiden Smith leaned in the doorway, watching Hailey. Out in the stable yard, Kyle Collins was leading the fiery young colt, Furious By Nature in a circles. Becky Andrews beside them, monitoring the colt and his groom. Michael Turner was riding Whipped Cream at a walk, around the yard as well. Other than the sound of hooves hitting the stone pavement, the misty morning was silent.
Aiden spoke softly after awhile, "When are you planning to work her for the Breeder's Cup?" Hailey looked up from the bandage wraps she was putting on Smile's front legs, "I am thinking about sending you guys out on Monday... but just so she gets out not really for anything intensive." She stared up at Aiden for a second and waited for him to answer. When he didn't, she turned back to wrapping Smiles legs. Suddenly, a loud call sounded across the stable followed by a loud bang. Hailey's head shot up and Aiden turned around quickly.
Furious By Nature had gotten loose and the yearling was now charging back into the broodmare and foal barn. Kyle ran after him, while Becky was sitting on the ground leaning on the barn. Hailey cut the excess bandages and taped the bandage. She flew out of Smile's stall after collecting all of her supplies. "Go check Becky," she snapped at Aiden before setting down the supplies and running into the broodmare barn. Furious had stopped in front of his stall and was now pawing at the locked door. Hailey spotted Kyle who was sneaking up beside him. The bay colt glanced at Kyle and then purposely took off in the opposite direction towards Hailey. She sidestepped in front of him and grabbed his lead rope. The giant colt was surprised as the rope went taut as he attempted to jump past her. Hailey led him back to his stall, which Kyle had opened and was waiting for her. When she put him up, he reared up in anger of being pinned up but when Kyle stroked his neck he calmed down.
Hailey walked out of the barn and headed towards Becky, whom was still on the ground and Aiden who was crouched beside her. Kyle followed closely behind. Michael had tied Whipped Cream up and was now heading towards all of them, too. Hailey crouched next to Aiden. Becky had put her arm around Aiden and was attempting to stand. "What happened?" Hailey asked. "Furious got free and bucked. She doesn't remember anything else after that."Aiden replied. Kyle spoke quietly, "He kicked her. I don't know where." Becky rubbed her head with her free hand. "Guys, I am fine..." Aiden looked down at her. "No you aren't... We need to get you inside." Hailey looked at Aiden, "Can you get her inside to the lounge?" Aiden nodded without looking away from Becky.
Aiden eased Becky up slowly and started walking her to the house. Hailey sighed heavily and went into the barn. Kyle followed but instead of stopping at the stable phone, he continued to Furious's stall. He whinnied at his groom's arrival and threw his head. "Settle," he whispered. After Hailey was finished with the call she visited Furious. "You sure are Rising Fury's son." Hailey reached over and patted the colt's neck and then turned around and headed inside. Kyle stayed with the son of The Natural and Rising Fury, not intending to leave him until necessary.
