Tyler stumbled slightly towards the girl, righting himself quickly. He set his face in a determined line. His handsome featured looked set in whatever he was going to do. "I won't hurt him." He said stoutly, striding out of the stall.

she watched him leave, a tear rolling down her face. "Tyler... what are you going to do? you just met me and you don't know my Father" she stood up and grabbed his arm. "and, whatever you do, i want to be there to see it." Titan trid to help Abby by nipping Tyler's shirt and giving a slight tug, then a harder one, right into Abigail

"Re, well you might not like what I do." Tyler made a slight face. "If your money is as interested in money as you say he is, everything will work out." He muttered, striding towards his cabin. He disappeared inside and came out wearing a.... tuxedo... Tyler made a face, adjusting the collar before walking towards the office. He opened the door, looking at Abby's father. "Hello sir, I am here to make an offer to buy this Stable." Tyler cleared his throat. His deep voice and small beard and mustache helped at this point...

"How much?" his deep voice giving a nice first-impression. "and why this junk yard? never mind." he said grabbing the keys to the house "take it. i was about to take my daughter somewhere else anyway. somewhere more... peaceful" he pushed past Tyler and walked into the barn. "Abigail Grace Tyler. get over here" he grabbed her by the arm and walked to the car, trying to get her in

"Ah, well, she can't leave without her horse. Do you have a place for it in the new 'spot' you're going?" Tyler's voice was dangerously low. He walked towards the shorter man till he was standing face to Face to face with him, his eyes narrowing. "It would be... unnecessarily rude to separate her and her money winning champion. Think of how much cash you'd lose if you got rid of the one horse that won you money..."

"would you rather me leave her here so you can make her mind? here!" he pushed her harshly toward him, making her fall at his feet. Abby whimpered in pain. "take her. never wanted her anyway" Abby burst into tears" "her Father, should she even call him that anymore, swore at her then yelled, "hush child!" he threw a bag at her then got in the car and left without letting Tyler talk.

Tyler looked speechless. As soon as the man left he picked up Abby and hugged her. "I'm so sorry..." he whispered, not even knowing what to think or do

Abby hugged him back, forgetting how to let go. her knees went weak as it finally sank in: her father sold the stable to Tyler, then technically sold her along with it, then left. tears rolled down her face and she couldn't hold herself up anymore, her leg muscles abandoning her.

Tyler caught the girl before she hit the ground, carrying her to the tack room couch. He laid her down, his face stricken with grief. He had no idea her father was so horrible... he took a deep breath and left to go tend to his horse

Abby curled up on the couch, crying, and listening to Titan pace in his stall.
