"I take an unsteady breath, pulling out my gun and twisting it over and over again in my hands, trying to find comfort. If I even remotely mess up this weekend, my horse is . . . oh God, what'll they do to her? Hurt her? Kill her? Would I be able to do anything to stop them? What - when - how- I stop my hands, drop the gun on my bed and enter my closet. I find a simple lavender dress that flairs at the hips and twirls when I walk or spin. I slip my gun into the pocket Dana sowed into the dress for that exact purpose. I look at myself in the mirror, then throw my dad's jacket over it. I stare at my reflection. My dull brown hair. Bizarre eyes. Zero curves or any sort of appealing body shape. Mother has nothing to worry about. No boy would ever find a girl like me attractive. I don't stand a chance." For Mute - Revised, the plotline and characters are almost exactly the same as in Mute, but this is rewritten and includes more personality. If this piece is continued then I will add the same continuation(s) to both works. Thank you, and enjoy!

Have you ever experienced the wind flapping through your mane and forelock as you gallop through vast plains and over rocky slopes? Have you ever known what freedom feels like, knowing that it isn't free? Of course you haven't. You aren't a horse-shifter like me. Well that so called freedom can be taken away any second of any day. In the blink of an eye, and you probably won't even know it. But I do. It happened to me. Like yesterday, when I was caught by the people that run the Wild Mustang Round Up. It isn't a beautiful sight. But I am. My coat, black as night, red as fire in sunlight. My mane, dark as coal, wild as the wind. My tail, as dark as ebony, that can't be tamed. My spirit? Ha, it is as wild as wild can be. I. Can. Not. Be. Tamed.

Alex: Going to the beach with my friends for a week before sophomore year of college seemed like the perfect way to take control of my life and get out from under my parent's thumbs.

Fuck... A craped car. Full of family and friends,sitting on the LAP of my bestfriends dad. Moving around to get comfortable, I felt something poke me. His hands on my waist making me freeze. I move a little more to see what happens... Testing the waters because I've had the longest crush on him. I remember where we were but bags everywhere, I couldn't see anyone so...logical they can't see me...Right? I took the chance and arched just a little. His hands slowly moving towards my inner thigh but stop half way,giving them a squeeze. I can feel the poke getting harder. Knowing I have the same effect on him as he does on me. "Alright made it to the first Gas station..." my mom says This gonna be the longest 8 hour drive of my life...

I shuddered. It had never been so dark, nor so quiet before. There was always the light of the moon to guide me. The sound of the wind against the trees. I shook the thought from my mind and continued further into the wood. Then I saw it. A white light spread across the ground in front of me. The clouds had parted from where they were, revealing the moon at its fullest. I stared in awe. It had never been so bright. The ambiance began to come back. The wind began to dance with the trees. I closed my eyes. The scent of oak filled my nose and exhaled through my mouth. The aroma filled me with exhilaration. It filled me with something I couldn't explain. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Although it was something I wasn't used to feeling, I craved it deeply. I felt happy. I felt as if nothing else mattered than this moment. I opened my eyes. Everything seemed clearer. I could see the particles of dust flying in the beam of light that shone around me. I wanted to stay here for longer. I wanted this moment to last forever. Until I saw the wolf. It was hidden among the fold of trees behind me. It stared at me in aggravation. It's brows furrowed in my direction. It's face, livid with anger, revealed a set of unpleasant and sharp teeth. It began to move slightly forward. The wolf bounded towards me. It happened so quickly I had no time to react. It's limbs outstretched. It's teeth bared. My body, paralyzed from fear, refused to move. My lip quivered, urged to call for help, but no help would come. I was too deep into the woods. No one would hear my screams. The thought was soon interrupted by the wolf's teeth digging into my side.

~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?

One day, my whole life got flipped upside down-all over one tiny little thing. It was December. I remember it perfectly. Well, mostly... After that, I wasn't just that weird, lonely student anymore. No longer that nerd hiding out in her own bubble, where science was the only thing that made life worth it, and the only source of genuine affection came from a childhood friend. Just like that, I became one of the hottest names on campus, with all the glory and the shadows that came with it. And I owe it all to one person. Calum Hughes. Rich kid, totally obsessed with racehorses, who promised me the moon and made the stars seem within my reach-even though I was just some regular girl from Louisville, Kentucky. I fell for him, hard. He was magnetic, pulled me in without even trying, swept me off my feet, and I thought for sure I'd hit the jackpot, just like my dad was telling me. Then, overnight, Calum flipped the script on me too. He shut me out, treated me like I was nothing. Turned out, I hadn't bet on the right horse, no matter what my mom believed. But I was stuck to him, chained. I couldn't leave, so I had no choice but to endure his two-faced games Since he crashed into my world, I've hit rock bottom more times than I can count. Yet, weirdly enough, he's the one who's always pulled me back up too. Now, I've got the chance to shake everything up again-but I'm not even sure I want to anymore. My name is Rhiannon Carter, and this is my story.

River: When I least expected it, my angel finally walked into my orbit, looking like a prayer come to life.
