Tina:  Nell, believe me you have nothing to worry about.  At the moment I am not thinking of meeting or being with anyone.  All I want is a peace of mind and the time to spend with my daughter before she grows up and leave me.  And I want to stay with mom and dad and look after them in their old age.  I want to do this Nell.  No one is forcing me to do it.  I love it here believe me I do.

Nell:  Well if you say so Tina but you know the offer is open for whenever you want to come.  I will be waiting for you.

Tina:  Thank you Nell I know my love.  By the way how is Damian?

Nell:  Oh he is fine; he couldnt come with me because he needed to hold the forte while I was gone.  He sends you his love of course.  He might come with me for Christmas if dad doesnt mind seeing him!!

Tina:  Nell dad is an old fashioned guy you have to understand that and he wouldnt say a thing if you bring Damian with you I promise you.  He has accepted you the way you are and he loves you.  All he wants for you is to be happy and successful, so give the guy a break.

Nell:  Ok, ok Tina I know that.  I might just bring him with me then.  Now can we go and see the horses.

Tina:  Well of course lets.

Nell took Tinas hand in his and walked with her and Shiraz to the staples.

When they got there everything was very quiet and dark. 

Tina turned a low light on and guided Shiraz to the empty place and said welcome home Shiraz I am happy to have you, you are going to love it here.

Nell looked at his sister with amusements in his eyes and was thinking my god how sweet could she be?

Tina was a bit apprehensive and deep in her heart she was scared really scared but she didnt want to show it.  She checked on all her horses and left Storm till last.  Nell feeling her troubles got hold of her hand and squeezed it reassuring her and giving her support.  He too was a bit worried.  He didnt know what to expect either.  Tina opened the door to Storms staple and switched her torch on him.  The horse was lying on the straw on the floor.  Tina came closer to him and bent down so that she could see or hear if he was breathing.  Nell was behind her and still holding her hand.  Tina put her head as close as possible to Storms head and listened.  She tried to stop her heart beating so that she could hear Storms but nothing, silence.  Her eyes widened and her stomach ached. She looked at Nell horrified and put her hand on Storms neck to check for a pulse but again she couldnt feel a thing.  Nell stepped in and he too examined the horse to the best of his ability and he came up with the same results.  Storm was feeling actually cold and definitely there was no life in him, but Tina didnt want to believe it.  She panicked.  She got her cell phone and dialled Ashdons number.
