Chapter: Life Changes- Part 18

Hello my dears! <br />
How was your week Mine pretty quiet but stressful with my boss. He's just an idiot, but he has to understand that ^^ <br />
<br />
I had diligently uploaded pictures here, e.g. Michael and Kira from Angel Sanctuary, but nothing has been updated yet. Got a long ladder here. Hope it works next time. <br />
<br />
Otherwise my head is full of short stories, e.g. Zetsuai's own ending (it's a Yaoimanga, if that doesn't tell you anything), a sequel with Everlyn and X * g * (name is not revealed), or something with Yugi and Seto Kaiba. <br />
Let's see, what would you like to do? <br />
<br />
<br />
@Sylvie <br />
Thanks for your picking! Nice to hear from you! Hope you continue to like it so much. When will you get something new? <br />
<br />
@ Melody- mouse <br />
The peace won't last too long, then chaos breaks in by helicopter ^^. But before that, this and that will happen;) <br /><br />
So, let's go on. Greetings to the others! <br />

Part 18- Bellatrix <br />
<br />
I went back inside and prepared dinner. The day had ended calmly and without serious incidents. The BladeBreakers had trained a lot, and Kenny fitted Tyson and Ray's blades with new stabilizing rings. I wanted to dine with the others and then throw myself on the couch and watch a movie in which Mel Gibson played a man whose face and life were destroyed in a car accident. His wife and son were killed in the process. Only a little boy could he win his trust and friendship. That was exactly the right topic for me. Tortured hearts that despair and yet only want something: satisfaction and a person who gives love. Love, it comes in many ways. <br />
<br />
But this makes you happy and that was the only thing this man really wanted. But because of the other people who called him a monster because of his disfigured face, this was not possible.He withdrew and became a hermit. The only one who took him as he was, as his friend, had brown, tousled hair and was his dog. Here we go again, I thought. The animal doesn't care at all! It doesn't pay attention to outward appearances, like us humans! In the animal kingdom, appearance seldom plays a role, even if it had a meaning in some species of birds. Animals were grateful that they were treated well, that they were friends, that they cuddled. Found love words for her. It was enough for them. They didn't need more to be happy. But why was it so damn complicated with us two-legged friends? I could only guess at the range of answers why that was the case. To put it briefly, I thought that it was probably because we humans had the more complex structure in terms of our perception of wellbeing. In addition, we created more and more opportunities to talk and have fun. Be it cinemas, amusement parks, adventure vacations or sports.People also worked a lot to create luxury and standards. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, people were replaced by machines and became unemployed. A lot of things just fell by the wayside in these fast-paced times and when I looked at people like that, I thought that we were more likely to develop backwards. Class society still exists and whoever doesn't quite fit the picture is, however, marginalized. For those affected, this is shown in countless tirades and ranges from gossiping to beatings and other mental and physical atrocities. This is how this person is then shaped, made ready. As far as I thought in this short version. Of course, all of this was only scratched on the surface, but it reflected a behavior of our highly acclaimed culture and related exactly to the film. I sighed, went to the couch and watched the movie. <br />
<br />
Later, after the movie, I marched over to the stable.The boys were already in their rooms, only Kai had showered and blow-dried his hair. I took a light jacket and sturdy sneakers from my room and went back downstairs, in the direction of the garden gate. It was now 11 p.m. and I wanted to check on Elisa, who had seemed suspiciously restless to me for two days. After Khon Linor's kick, I missed further complications as long as my mother, who was also an experienced horse, was missing. I went into the stable and just switched on the lamp above the pretty mare's spacious box. Elisa raised her graceful head in the weak light and eyed me curiously and kindly. I went into her box and felt her stomach. It felt round and plump. But there was no movement in him. The foal is probably resting too, I thought. <br />
<br />
Human babies also have very active phases and then very quiet again. So I wasn't too worried. There was still no mare's milk dripping from the mare's udder, which could have suggested that the mare would give birth soon.Nevertheless, Elisa winced when I touched her and I was certainly not allowed to touch her udder. She was really very nervous and tense. Suddenly she groaned and groaned heavily, turned slowly in a circle and pushed me away. She tried to rub her stomach against the wall of the box or to kick her back hoof. I went out of the box and watched the behavior for a while. Now I was on the alert and ran into the tack room to get my emergency kit and blankets. You had no way of knowing what was going to happen, so I calculated situations that could get complicated. The mare calmed down again, only a tremor went through her body. I built a few bales of straw in front of her box and made a blanket to sit down there and keep an eye on Elisa. The mare groaned at irregular intervals and it was now clear to me that these were contractions. They had started and her body showed no further evidence that Elisa would soon foal.And then I heard a bubbling, splashing sound from the box. It was so far! Too early! <br />
<br />
Kai had just lay down and crossed his arms under his head. He stared thoughtlessly through the slanted window at the dark, star-draped sky. He looked after the clouds bathed in silver in the moonlight when he heard a noise. He jumped up immediately and listened doggedly. But it was only Lyn who went down the stairs. So he lay down again and pulled the covers under his chin because he was a little cold. <br />
But when, twenty minutes later, he didn't hear the girl coming up the stairs again, he became nervous. He didn't know why, but because of his nature he preferred to know where the people around him were. Kai looked annoyed and got out of bed again. Dressed only in light pajama bottoms and a black body-hugging shirt, he went to check on Lyn.As he passed, he put on his shoes and marched down and through the garden. There was no light to be seen in the stable. But then he noticed the light glow in one of the rear stall windows and went through the pit lane to the light. When he stopped in front of the box, his breath caught. "What .... is ..... a birth .....? <br />
<br />
I suddenly saw Kai standing in front of the box. I yelled at him to help me. I was holding the foal's delicate, frail forelegs and trying to get it out of the womb. Elisa was terribly nervous and she was tormented by strong contractions. Excited and plagued by pain, she kept turning in circles. So I could hardly keep up and could use some strength. My clothes were covered in blood from the placenta that was still attached to the mare. I tore it off now and glibbled it fell into the straw. I noticed how my strength was exhausted and my grip waned.But I had to pull the foal out because the mare was so scared that she didn't help. The baby could choke his mother's womb because the oxygen-filled amniotic sac no longer existed. "Kai! Do something, hold the mare tight, brace yourself against it!" I called to him. Kai dived to the head and clung to the halter, braced himself with his full weight against the mare's chest, preventing her from turning. Elisa groaned and gasped, her eyes rolled with fear and pain and the whites came out. I pulled with all my might and freed more and more of the skinny legs. Suddenly Elisa plopped down on the straw with a loud, deep moan. <br />
<br />
“Shit!” I got nervous. The mare wanted to pinch herself in the stomach to massage him and relieve pain. "Massage her stomach," I ordered Kai. He knelt next to the mare and rubbed her stomach vigorously and looked at me, startled. Now something like helplessness and panic could be seen in his otherwise thoughtful eyes.But I didn't have time to ponder Kai now, I had to get the foal out of this situation. <br />
<br />
I pulled and tugged at the delicate front legs with the greatest care and soon I saw the foal's little mouth. I exhaled a little. Soon I had the hardest behind me. I kept trying - and suddenly cried out in a daze. What was that around the kid's neck? What was it that closed their throats? “No, oh no, oh no! No!” I dragged out my words, I was no longer able to think, I was shocked, too close to tears. The umbilical cord had already wrapped itself around the foal's neck in the womb and thus strangled it during the exertion. Took his breath away. I didn't understand anything anymore. That must have happened shortly before, maybe an hour before the birth? The rest of the little body fell into my arms and I sat with the foal's head in my hands. Kai didn't seem to understand either, for he sank into the straw and crouched there and looked at the lifeless animal."Quickly, get out with it before Elisa notices what had just happened. If she can't sniff it now, then she may not even notice that her foal is dead ....." But inwardly I thought that the mare knew it, would know if her baby didn't come back. It was unnecessary to think like that, I was fooling myself and Elisa. Kai understood and we pulled the little one out of the box and put it in another. I wrapped a blanket around the limp body, but looked at it first. It would have come to Khon Linor. Dark brown, presumably, with a black mane and tail. A little mare with a little star on her forehead. A collection of
