(Look on part 3 for ranks)

Soon all the horses where asleep peacefully, and the world around them was peacefully. But not for long, as a huge black ghost stallion stepped in to Beauty’s and Comet’s cave.

Beauty looks up to see the Black stallion standing over her.
“Comet!” she said as she stallion looked at her then at Comet
“Hello” said the Stallion.
“You!” said Comet as he looked at the Stallion as he gets up. “Step away!”
“Why?” asked the Stallion and steps one step back, as Beauty stands up.
“Night Sky!” said Beauty as she looked at the stallion.
“Yes?” said the stallion looking at the 2 horses, “how do you know my name?”
“It’s me… Beauty!” said Beauty as she looked at her brother
“Beauty!? But your dead!” said Night Sky.
“Yes! You get my gift! You are a ghost!” said Beauty as she looked at Comet.
“I’m Comet.” said Comet.
“Yes, you.” said Night Sky.
“Would you join the herd?” asked beauty.
“No! Not with HIM has leader!” said Night Sky as she trotted out of the cave with Beauty following, Comet close behind.
“Wow!” said Comet as she trotted up the trail to the rock the call the herd from, and stops at his little dip, and beauty walks to hers a little bit closer to the other end of the rock (so comet is at her flank).
“Herd!” yelled Beauty as the first light of dawn showed glowing on her fur as she was standing there. As the herd started to get out of there caves.
“Who is HE?” asked Spirit
“My brother Spirit.”
“Really?” asked Layal
“Really!” said Comet
“Any way! This is Night Sky-“

“No!” yelled Silver Star and Comet as they looked at the sky
“What?” asked Beauty as she looked back at Comet, then down at Silver Star.
“The dawn! And the stars…” said Comet to Beauty
“What about the dawn and stars?”
“Today it will bring a fight, the stars are show you rearing, look.” And pointed to what looked like Beauty rearing
“Your right!” said Silver Star, “I was another horse rearing, close to Beauty!”
“Who was is?” asked Jessie
“Maybe me?” Asked a huge stallion as he walked in to the pasture
“Leader, Star, please don’t hurt Beauty, Please” said Night Sky as she trotted after the stallion.
“Sky, if you want to be Leader, you have to do what I say! I say fight!” yelled Star as the rest of the herd came in to the clearing.
“Try!” Said Beauty as she jumped down form the rock with Comet standing where she was on the rock, looking down.
“Ok, he’ll make you wish that you where never here.” Replied Star
“We are all ghosts, now leave!!” yelled Beauty as she galloped after the 2 stallions to where an old fence was.
“We should rebuild that.” Said Comet trotting up.
“Yea, We’ll go tomorrow, the herd, every one.”
“Ok, Beauty…”
“Yes?” asked Beauty as she turned back to look at Comet
“Why did you pick me for deputy?”
“Who else would be good, and can still keep there ranks, I trust you too,-“
“Beauty!” yelled Spirit as she trotted up. “Good your ok, lets have Layla look at you any way-“
“I’m Fine.”
“Ok, I’ll be back later,.” said Comet as he trotted to Beauty’s and His cave.

~*Morning*~

“Luke you ride me. That should have every one having someone.” Said Beauty.
“Yup!” said Luke.

~*Next week*`

“Good, good. Thanks you.” Beauty said as she thanked the ghost humans as she started to walk home away form the Pasture.
“Come again!” yelled Comet as she trotted away.
The herd started to graze again…. But there was 2 eyes looking at the herd from behind the fence.
“Yes, she is there…”

Hope you ride the next story to find out who, or what is looking at the herd.
