Writhy's Wrath part 2

Zack POV

I was on my way home from a business meeting. The sky was dark with rain and I had to drive slowly. Suddenly my phone buzzed. It had been off all during the meeting it seemed someone had called.  I opened my phone one call from Meghan, I smiled what could she want she never calls wile am away maybe she misses me I laughed. I picked up the message. "God damn it Zack" I winced oh shit...I am in trouble "please pick up the phone this is important" I heard the crash of thunder in the background, why is she on the phone in a storm??? the pure stupidity. "Please there this huge storm and Nyx she said she felt someone or something's presence," what could that mean, whatever it is it not good, she knows all it's kind of scary. "Please" she begged "if you get this call me back, please I am really worried and scared. Bye"

My face filled with worry. I am still 1 ½ hours away but with the weather 2 hours. Damn it. I drove faster, this can't be good, and she is never scared or at least she does not admit it openly. I could hardly see the road but I knew this road so I drove over the speed limit.  "Please don't let me hydroplane, only one emergency a night." I drove faster.

20 minutes later I was almost at the stables. Maybe 40 minutes more. Maybe I should call her and see if everything is ok. I dialed her number. RING..Nothing please pick up RING..Come on you always pick up RING.. I drove a little faster RING.. "HEY"…."oh thank god Meghan you picked up i…" " I am sorry but I am not hear right now, but if you leave your name and number I will try to get back to you, thank you good bye….." no. not good. BEEP. "I am on my way, please call me back." God I hate that stupid messaging system fools me every freaking time.

30 minutes later, the storms had stopped, this drive felt like it was taking 30 years not 30 minutes maybe if I call her again. I dialed. RING…nothing; my eyebrow knitted together RING…  I heard a click, "thank God, Meghan i…" "This is not Meghan, but this is her phone" I heard a man voice say. "Who are you." I was not happy. "Who I am is none of your business" "did you hurt her tell me!"I her him chuckle "nothing a little band aid won't fix" "you son of a. you gonna pay for this, when I find you I.." and phone was cut off. I dropped my phone in the seat beside me. Come on old on Meghan 20 minutes and I'll be at the stables just hold on.  I sped down the wet roads. Not my best driving but it got me where I needed to go.  At this speed I'd get there in 10 minutes. I was racing the next set of storms they were on my tail but I would get back before they reached the farm.

I saw the front gate and sigh of relief went over me. I drove in and parked the truck and ran into the barn I saw all of the horses except Writhe Wrath and Dia. Where could they be? I ran around the barn, till I saw Nyx's stall. I stopped there. She awoke. " I felt you coming." She said with worry in her eyes. "Where is she…she said she'd be right back. There were gun shots and screams I don't know what going on I can't trace her thoughts or…the mans." Her voice rang with guilt and fright. "it's ok Nyx it's ok." I patted her neck. "Where did you last since her thoughts? I need to know." "It my fault she should not have gone searching for him I told her.." "No Nyx it not your fault now tell me where is she?" I last sensed her out by mine and Writhe Wrath's pastures." I patted her neck "thank you". I ran out of the barn and the rain was picking up again. I   pulled up the hood of jacket and ran out to the fields.

Soon I was nearing Writhe Wrath's pasture when I was a crumpled shape in the ground.  No, was the only word that went through my mind. I ran over to the shape to find in my Meghan. I felt her forehead she was catching a fever from being out in the rain so long. I began to pick her up when she started waking up. "no….owch" I put her back down carefully. "Thank god your awake….what happened..?" she put her hand to her head and that's when I saw the blood on the ground and the lump on the back of her head. I grabbed her hand and held it. "don't touch, your bleeding." She moaned in pain, she looked like she just was in a fist fight. "Zach.." I was back "yes?" "g..go f….f…f..Find Writhy…now he is hurt." "no I am helping you first you hurt as well, another flash of lightning lit up the sky. I saw the hurt in her eyes. "No!! he was shot…protecting me and I told him I'd be back with help….so go help him NOW." She screeched she was getting angry, but there were tears forming in her eyes. She looked so helpless. She tried to get up with her newfound strength. I put my other hand on her to stop her from getting up. I didn't need her to get inured again. "If you stay here and promise me you won't move I'll help him first." She stopped moving; I let go of her hand and I took of my jacket folded it up and put it under her head. It would hopefully be enough to stop the bleeding and keep her from injuring herself on the ground. "Keep that there I'll be right back please don't move." I got up and started to search for Writhe Wrath.

I found him on the ground with young Dia by his side. I ran over. His head shot up at my footsteps. "Easy boy easy it's just me. I am not going to hurt ya boy, easy." I made my way over slower. I could now see the bullet wound right above is right shoulder. "What a brave stallion you are. Protecting Meghan like that, it was very good of you." I walked up to him and put my hand on his neck and lightly rubbed it. He whinnied so softly I could hardly here it. I kept rubbing his neck.  The rain picked up again but the thunder and lightning were gone. I dialed the vet's number. "Hello Dr. Jason Leverett, this better be good Zach it's 3 am. And I know your never the one to make vet calls that always Meghan." Ehh he had a point there. I normally just called him just to talk. "Hey Jason I know it 3 am but it's an emergency, Writhe Wraths been shot by a ……robber." "I'll be there in 10 minutes." He hung up. I looked up and saw little Dia shivering. "Come on girl come over here." She walked over and sat in my lap and looked at me with worry. The poor little foal had been through a lot this evening so I let her stay in my lap. I began to pet her short mane. Her sparkles were absent and I knew she was sad. "Well girl now all we can do is wait." But all I could think about was Meghan lying on the ground but neither of them could be moved so I stayed where she told me to go, because she told me to help Writhe and I knew it better to listen to her and not put too much stress on her currently fragile body.  I wrapped my arms around the foal body and she placed her head on my shoulder.  The rain began to come down in sheets and it was cold rain. My eyebrow knitted together please hurry Jason.
