I'd never given much though to how I would die. But dying in place of someone I love, seems like a good way to go.

Anastasia Cavellier felt a little baffled as to how she ended up here - only a week into living into Hickstead and she had already gotten in trouble. She had tried hanging out with some girls downtown, attempting to make friends, but then they insulted her, and the only reaction Ana had was to sock one right in the face. Apparently, you're not allowed to do that. Or express your feelings that way. Ana tried to reason with Beth, her mother, that it was perfectly normal, but it wasn't. Even deep down in her bones, the teenager knew that the fictional girls of her imagination and books didn't do that, they just merely fought with their words.

Perhaps she should have fought with her words now too. If she had, she wouldn't have been standing outside some horse barn while her mother was inside talking to some important person about the possibility of starting there to 'heal'. Ana thought that was a bunch of bull, no, horse crap. She didn't need to heal. She was fine. So what if she had been kidnapped. So what if the father she had known had turned out to be a kidnaper. So what if he had touched her in ways that he shouldn't have? Those were a bunch of loaded thoughts, yet Ana stubbornly informed herself out loud of three simple words: "I. Am. Fine." And with that, she took an extra good kick at the ground, clocking some gravel and sending it scattering, unaware that she had an audience.

Julia had just finished another lesson with Gidget. The pony had been behaving herself lately, especially after their first interesting lesson. Moses was busy chatting with the Ledor-Kita girls, which was fine by her - the paint pony was still keeping her busy. She held out her palm flat with a peppermint, the pony mare gently taking the treat from the young girl. 

She glanced over her shoulder to see two people she didn't recognize. It seemed that there was going to be a new student at Helping Hooves. Julia turned her attention briefly back to Gidget, giving her gentle scratches on her bottom lip. All of a sudden, a puff of gravel and dust flew towards her, causing the pony to snort. Julia herself sneezed and turned to see where the commotion was coming from. The young girl could hear another voice mutter angrily that they were fine, causing Julia to step away from the pony to face the stranger. 

The older blonde teen wasn't who she was expecting. She glanced around her surroundings, making sure the teen was talking to her and not anyone else. "Uh, I know I'm no expert but, you don't look fine. Are you here signing up for riding lessons?"

I'd never given much though to how I would die. But dying in place of someone I love, seems like a good way to go.

Ana still hadn't wrapped her mind around the fact that se had not been alone, so when she had been muttering to herself and kicking gravel, she thought she had been doing so in privacy. As a voice broke out though, it became clear that there had been no privacy. Blue eyes looked up from the ground now, locking gazes with another girl now who was staring at her. She had a look on her face, as if uncertain of what to make of Ana, like a feral animal.

"How do I not look fine?" Ana countered, trying to not sound surly. After all, it wasn't this girl's fault while she was here. Technically, it was the fifteen year old's fault for her actions led her mother here and dragged Ana long with her. But Ana wasn't about to explain all of that to another girl, a stranger, even if she did seem quite harmless. The girls at her school had seemed quite harmless, and yet here she was, in trouble for punching one in the fact after they insulted her book, "I think my mum is signing me up for 'therapy lessons'," she replied now, and made certain to air quotes along with a good eye roll.

She stood there for a moment, before finally daring to offer, "I'm Ana. You are?"
