Two Weeks Passing

“Mmm...Mmmm..Giovanni. Oh my, Oh my...”

The black haired woman stood in front of the Grooming table and looked at every inch of her. Snow Caballo’s looks. Her beauty. It was desired by all and Giovanni knew it. The girl struggling once again. She always found her self struggling when he was near.

“She is ..beautiful..I..I must possess her..I’ll pay anything.” The black haired woman turned to look at Giovanni. “Money? I have several young ponies that I will trade. Please..Let me have this Mare.”

“No...no.” Giovanni smiled and ran a hand along his Mare’s back. “You should consider your self lucky that I am even letting you see her. She is my beauty and my prize. I will enter her into the Westbridge show. It will Start soon enough.”

“Breeding? Have you decided on a stud to put her with? I would gladly pay for a young colt or filly from her.”

“Now that...might be arranged at a later time, Mistress Raven.”

“But when? Tell me...is she a pure pony? Has her hymen been taken?”

“She is still a virgin pony and will remain so until I take her. Anyways..” Lowering the table and attaching the lead rope to her harness. “I need to put her up. She is..becoming restless. And when she is restless..she becomes disobedient.”

“I could stay and help you train her. It seems that she is in need of it still.”

“Of course she is. I only just got her a while ago. It takes time to train a good pony.” Giovanni pulled her forward. “Come Caballo.”

“Beautiful...just watching her walk is ..like..like..You have no idea what I am feeling inside right now.” Raven smiled. “I am...as you say...feeling great desire.”

“Yes..she instils that in people. But..I can not let this kind of talk be spoken in front of her. I want her pure for the Westbridge show. I want her not to even hear...the sounds of..pleasure.” Forcing her into the stall and closing it. “No...She is..my guarantee for..a win at the show.”

“Of course..” Raven smiled. “Just...keep me informed about her breeding status. I’ll pay you now..Just for the privilege of having a first chance at her when you are breeding her for sales.”

“I believe...” Locking the stall door. “That can be discussed in my abode..so come my dear mistress Raven. And you..”looking at his gagged and harnessed beauty. “Behave my beautiful pony.”

A glare was her answer. The girl shifting, unable to get off of her hands and knees thanks to the harness. Giovanni chuckled and led raven off as his response. He didn’t owe a pony any more explanation than that.

James found his way over to the stall after the pair had left. He looked at the pathetic sight before him and frowned. Leaning against the stall door, he sighed. He felt so horrible inside. He should be loyal to Giovanni but seeing this girl in such misery was heart breaking.

“Caballo...Why do you do this to your self?”

Looking up as best she could. The girl shifted and grunted when she felt the harness pull against her nipple rings. The gag making her silent. James looked away from her quickly. If he watched her for too much longer, he might ungag her..and then he would be punished.

“You know I can’t help you, Caballo. It is too late for you. By now..you are thought dead by that world outside of this place. Master Giovanni would make seem so. Please..Please Caballo.”

Looking at her again through the bars of the stall.

“Please stop fighting him. I don’t like to see you in such pain all the time. You must give in..”

That look in her eyes. His heart lurched as he looked at her. How her white curls fell around her cheeks. How she trembled. How the moisture made her eyes sparkle. She cried for her self as well as him. It was well known that he was a prisoner here of his device.

“It is that spirit that Master loves so much about you. But I fear it is that spirit that will see you killed. Master Giovanni won’t let you go. He will never let his Snow White Caballo go. You know this. You can make this easier on your self. Don’t you crave the freedom that the other’s have?”

Her sigh hear. She closed eyes and the tears fell down her cheeks. She was such a pathetic sight. On her all fours there in the middle of the hay. Her tail flowing behind her. The girls body shook. James unlocked the Stall and slid the door open slowly.

“I can not ...do what you want me to. But I will remove the gag for you must drink and eat to maintain your health. That is my job.”

She flinched away from his hand when he reached out. James’s heart pained again. That was Giovanni’s doing. He would slap her with the quirt and grab her harshly instead of using a gentle hand.

“No Caballo. I won’t hurt you. I will never raise a hand to you.”

Soft, delicate fingers working the straps. He pulled the gag/Bit away from the harness and she gasped. She worked her mouth slowly open and them closed but she didn’t speak.

“Please Caballo, Drink..”

Trying to gently lead her to the trough inside the stall. He knelt down beside her and she slowly inched forward.

“You need to drink..and eat.”

Much like a human would do for a pony, he scooped the water up into his hand and held it to her lips. She was thirsty but this humiliation was so much to bare. James’s eyes pleading with her. He pressed the cool, purified liquid to her lips. Giovanni would not serve his ponies unfiltered water after all.

“I know you aren’t happy. But you would be even less happy if you were to die.”

Whispering low to her. He continued to hand scoop the water for her, slowly. Reluctantly drinking. She coughed at first. Her throat was dry from the gag bit.

“As bad as it seems..Caballo, it could be so much worse. I’m not..trying to make an excuse for Master. It’s simply the truth.”

What excuse could he make for kidnaping and taking them from their lives? He knew for a fact that she had been reported dead. Authorities found her body..eaten by sharks. Seren Angelus was gone. Giovanni’s pockets ran deep enough to insure that.

“Will you eat for me? You must have something..”

He glanced at the food trough. It was sterile and clean. Her salad was inside it from the morning. It looked wilted and brown on the side of the Lettuce though.

“I’ll get you some fresh food.”

James rose and pulled the Bowl plating from the trough. The girl stayed there by the water as he did. She didn’t look up at him. She kept her eyes on the water and watched it ripple about as fresh drops fell in from the spigot.

“Even master would not want you to eat this food.”

Closing the Stall, unwillingly so. He didn’t want to but if Giovanni was watching on the Camera’s he would question why James tried to help her escape. The boy wanted to deep down. He had never felt for a pony as he did her.

It was strange to feel after so many years of serving Giovanni. But what could he do? That silent question burned in his mind. What could he really do to help her? The answer was nothing really. He wasn’t given freedoms him self. He barely left the island unless it was to go with Master Giovanni to a show. He would then stay with the ponies and care for them.

He couldn’t do anything at those foreign stables either. They had guards. Human ponies were valuable and their owners didn’t want them stolen. James pushed the thoughts from his mind and cleaned the food bowl/Trough in clean water before putting more salad inside it. He chopped up the carrots for her and chopped the Lettice leaves. He added tomatoes and put in a bit of cheese very quickly.

She wasn’t supposed to have it but a little wouldn’t hurt. Plus she needed it really. She needed the calcium from the dairy. Once he put the salad makings away in the fridge, he carried the food back to her stall and returned to his spot beside her.

Looking at her silently. He didn’t put the trough back in place. He kept it in his lap and reached for her halter. She flinched back again and he frowned.

“No Caballo, I don’t hit for that. Please come forward..come here..before me..”

Her stomachs growl came loudly. James picked up a piece of the salad in his hand and rolled the tomato and some of the cheese in the Lettice leaf.

“Caballo is hungry..She must eat. Being sick would only result in much worse treatment later when she is better. Master would make her better. Even if he must tie her down and force Medicine in her.”

Her warm breaths on his hand. He sighed and pressed the wrapped Leaf to her lips. Her thoughts told her she was betraying her self by letting him do this with her. But she was hungry and she didn’t want to die.

That wasn’t breaking her spirit if it was self preservation. She had to eat if she was going to escape this place one day. James smiles when he felt her chewing the offered food.

“I can reward Caballo for being good. After you eat this all..and drink some more. I will Groom you..and wash away the Harness. You can stretch and walk. Even Master knows his human Ponies must do this.”

The food fell into her empty stomach with a clunk. She swore she could feel it. But his words were distracting her from that starving growl. James put carrots in his hand next and continued to feed her slowly. With the occasional drink to wash it down, he had her eating the whole serving of food within that slow hour to pass.

He had lost track of time really. Just sitting with her and talking to her. He was giving her the last of the salad when Giovanni came walking over.

“I see James Gentle hand has convinced you to eat and drink, Caballo.”

“Master..” James put the empty trough up before he stood slowly. “She needed to eat.”

“I know this.” The man chuckled. “Mistress Raven will be staying the night and tomorrow morning..you will saddle her and prepare her for Mistress Raven to ride.”

“Yes Master Giovanni.”

“Until then..Groom her for the night. Let My Caballo stretch her legs and lead her outside first though. Make sure she walks behind you as a good pony should. After that, you may Groom her and put her away for the evening. If you must..feed her supper by hand..I want her fully ready for the morning.”

“I will see to everything, sir.” James nodded.

“Very good.” Giovanni said.

Giovanni then leaned down and grabbed her harness. He patted her head with his other hand and scratched gently even though she strained to fight against this hold of his. He loved to caress her and touch her.

“Such a beautiful Snow Caballo. My Snow Caballo. The quicker you learn this lesson..The sooner life becomes so much easier for you my Pony.”

The urge to spit in his hand was great but she refrained. He would punish her and not let her walk. She hadn’t stood all day. Her body was hurting. Giovanni ran his hand over her back and gently stroked the silky soft tail.

“A good massage..when you groom her. I imagine her muscles are stiff, James.”

“Yes sir.”

“I want her tail washed as well. Do not forget her beautiful mane and tail.”

“Never, Master.”James smiled and nodded. “I shall use the shampoo and conditioner you picked specifically for her.”

“Giovanniii..”

“My guest calls.” Giovanni patted and scratched her head again. “Good Pony..”

Said as he walked off. The girl Trembling with new anger again. This humiliation never ended. Not even one semi-peaceful moment, without him, could happen for her. James sighed and knelt down beside her as he started undoing the harness. He was extra careful not to hurt or pull the nipple rings when he pulled the leather straps from them.

“There..Now you can stand..No harness.”

Holding the leather pieces up. He hung them to her stall side by her extra, fitted and monogrammed, halter. He then attached the lead rope to the harness and nodded to her.

“Come on now. Caballo must walk..”
