Sky High Stables Welcome to the Sky High Stables. I'm Maggie, the owner of this here lovely place. I've just begun a program a few years ago that I know is successful. I have wanted to help people who are struggling with addictions since I was a teen, and now that I have that chance to do so, what better way than with horses? So please come and settle yourself in, it doesn't matter the addiction, I just want to help one and all. I currently only have 15 horses at my stable, so if more than 15 people come, I won't accept them. Also I cannot and will NOT board horses, since there's no more room.

Alli "Come on Alli it's time to get up young lady!!!" Was the first thing that the young girl going by the name of Alli heard in the morning after she had just come back last night from rehab. Groaning she slowly opened her eyes and sighed before yelling back at her mother, Maggie. "Alright.....I'm ********>" Getting out of bed, Alli went over and opened her window drapes to let the early morning sunrise in, then pulled open the window screen, sighing as a light cool breeze hit her. "That feels nice....a better waking up start than being yelled at by mother...." Alli said as she walked away from the window and to her dresser.
Pulling out some pairs of jeans, tops and socks, as well as other accessories, Alli began sorting through things that she liked and didn't like anymore, since her taste in style had changed ever since she started her bad habits. Once that part was finished, she grabbed at a pair of black shorts, purple tie-dyed top, black socks, black and bright green arm warmers, as well as the same leg warmers. Once fully dressed and ready after also putting on some make-up and wristbands, Alli went into the bathroom to brush her hair and teeth. Flicking the light on as she entered, she grabbed her blue toothbrush before snatching the toothpaste and putting a small amount onto the bristles of the brush. Half an hour had passed by when Alli had finally finished taking care of herself.
Heading downstairs and into the kitchen, she didn't speak when her mother said good morning and how are you to her. Instead she went and grabbed a bowl, some fruit and a box of cereal. "I'm glad to have you back sweetheart...." Maggie said as she kissed her daughter's forehead. Allie just glared as she peeled an orange by hand, the cereal already been poured. "Whatever....." Alli muttered to herself as she began eating. "Oh, and don't forget that we're having visitors over today later.....so please be on your best behaviour.....if you can...." Alli looked at her mother with a raised brow when she said that. Continuing to eat, Alli ignored her mother for the rest of the time, her eyes just blankly staring at the wall across the table.

Sarah
A soft tune woke Sarah. It came from her cell phone which was stuck under her pillow. She slept in a room with two other girls, one a permant member of the McCoy's and the other a four year old that would soon be moving out to a new and permant home. The McCoy's now had seven children at their house, three girls and four boys, the only actual biological children of the couple being two of the boys. Sarah was the oldest girl and she helped out with making meals for the family. Normaly she was the first kid up, only today she had even more reason to be up earily.
Without waking the other two girls she quicky grabbed a pair of jeans, a striped green and white t-shirt and a pair of socks. She took a small pink bag and her clothes to the bathroom. She locked the door and turned on the water, waiting for it to warm up. Once she had finished with her shower she got dressed and unzipped the pink bag, inside was an assortment of gauze and bandages along with her knives and razor blades. She had gained the McCoy's trust enough that she was allowed to use knives, but they were counted each day so that they knew if one walked off. She had found other ways to get the knives and razor blades. Her most used knife was a blue pocket knife that never seemed to dull. She picked up the knife and pressed it into the soft skin of her elbow. A sharp knock at the door scared her and her fingers slipped, a line of crimson flowed from her arm. "Hurry up in there Sarah we've got to get the other fed." It was Annie McCoy, with her light lyrical voice.
Sarah held her arm over the sink and pushed her pocket knife back into the bag. She grabbed a bandage and after running water over the cut she pressed the bandage tightly over it. Hurrying back to her room she pulled off her t-shirt and pulled on a green long sleved shirt before putting the t-shirt on over it. She quietly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, opening the fridge and starting to make eggs.
"Are you excited about going to Sky High Stables today?"
"Of course I am Annie. It'll be so much fun. I can't wait."
Matt
Matt rolled over and landed on the floor with a loud thump. He had spent most of the night tossing and turning. He had promised Sarah that he wouldn't drink anymore but he had gone back on his word and she had caught him only a day ago, to drunk to walk. Instead of the yelling he deserved she had helped him in the house and upstairs, she had come up with something to get him out of trouble with the McCoy's even though they knew the truth. Groaning he sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at his 16 year old roommate, one of the two biological childern. The younger boy hadn't woken up, which was good.
Matt grabbed his clothes, a worn pair of jeans, plain white t-shirt and a pair of dirty socks. He hurried through a warm shower and dressing before he raced down the stairs, not much carring that the other kids were still asleep. Neither Sarah or Annie looked around at him, they both knew who had come down stairs. He poured himself a glass of orange juice and sat at the counter. "Moring Annie, Sarah." Before they could reply a four year old girl still in her PJ's sauntered down the stairs. She rubbed sleepily at her eyes and walked up to Matt. He picked her up and sat her in his lap, she was still partialy asleep and she curled up in his lap. "Good morning sleepy head. What would you like to drink? Apple juice?" She nodded her head and he stood, still carrying her. He poured her a small cup of juice and sat back down, never once having to shift her or having to get help from someone else.
Soon the other kids followed, some dressed and some in PJ's. Matt saw to all the drinks while Annie dished out hash browns and bacon, and Sarah passed out eggs, putting cheese on some. "When do we have to leave, Annie?" Matt knew Sarah wanted to know the answer to the question as well. Some of the kids were still too asleep to pay attention, but those who did looked at Annie. They were used to having Matt and Sarah around to help all the time, even the two biological boys. But now they were both going away and the kids weren't very happy about it, they would miss them both.

Kristen
A soft calm voice, woke up Kristen, with a lite push on her shoulder. "Sweetheart, It's time to get up..." Kristen opened her eyes slowly, seeing her mother their smiling. How could she be so happy after her husband had an affair and got married just about a month and a half ago?
Kristen groaned and rolled over to the other side. Sighing, Kristen's mother, Katie, got up and left the room, closing the door behind her. Kristen now was fully awake. She layed in bed, letting the sun hit her, staring up at her cieling, thinking. "Oh, no!" Kristen gasped. She swung her covers off her and hit the ground with her feet, and running to her calender. November 2nd was circled. Her calender for the month of November had a bay horse standing under a red, orange, yellow tree. Kristen frowned and went over to her closet, pulling out a pair of dark wash jeans, and a bright blue t-shirt, with some pair of blue socks. Kristen, walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind her switching on the light. Kristen took her red toothbrush, from the toothbrush holder and, applied some toothpaste on the bristles and then started to brush her teeth. She took out her blue pocket knife, and gently pressed it against her arm, sending the blood flowing down. She let it spill into the drain for a minute or so, wiping the blood off her arm, and quickly to a bandage from the cuboard. She placed the pocket knife on the counter before going into the shower. Once done she got out and dried herself and her hair, brushed her hair and then got dressed. Once done, Kristen made sure everything was packed in her suitcase, including her set of first aid kit, and 2 small knifes.
Kirsten pulled a chair and sat down, her mother handing hr some bacon and eggs. "You excited for today?" Katie asked sitting down infront of her. "Does it look like I'm excited?" Kristen answered back, glareing at her mother. "Honey, I know your upset about everything--" "But your not?" Kristen said, cutting her mother off. "I wasn't going to say that Kristen!" Katie said, still keeping her voice calm. All Katie got in returned was Kristen rolling her eyes. Kristen finished her breakfast, washed her dishes and then got something to drink. Her emotins were all mixed up.

Alli Once she finished breakfast and cleaned and put away some of the dishes, Alli walked outside to get some fresh air. Sighing as the same cool breeze hit her when she got up this morning. Upon hearing a window sliding open, she looked to see her mother pointing to the stable. "Sweetie....could you go and feed the horses please.....? Thanks....I love you...." Maggie said before pulling back in and shutting the window. Alli gave her mother the finger before she sighed heavily and trudged over to the stables.
Pulling out her Mp3, she put in the earbuds and cranked it full blast to the song 'Hypnotize' by System Of A Down. Opening the door, she was greeted by one of the many stable cats that slept there. "Hello Muffin...." Smiling Alli pet her quickly before sliding open the other door into the stable. As soon as she walked in, whinnies, snorts and neighs greeted her. Picking up the bucket for the food, Alli went into the feed room and began preparing their breakfast. One by one, she got them all fed and watered, and finally finished with that task, Alli went and sat by one of the stalls. Muffin coming back over and purring softly. "I wish I wasn't back here ya know....? This place has bad memories....." Alli said sadly as she switched the song over to Lonely Day.
25 minutes in, Alli's mother came in and walked into her little office. "Al......did I get any phone calls last night or this morning?" She asked, slightly out of breath. "Um.....I think so....those 2 families phoned in to confirm that their kids were coming here around 11:30ish today.....oh and Mike called again....." Maggie nodded at Alli and smiled before disappearing again into the office. Sighing Alli stood up, fixing her top and brushing off any cat hair or shavings from the ground. Glancing down, she found one of Sammie's kittens walking around. "Hello cutie...." Alli said while smiling and carefully picking up the kitten into her arms, cuddling it as it meowed softly. She held onto the brown colored kitten as she walked down the aisle of stalls, looking in at the horses.

Kristen "Honey, cheer up." Katie said coming over to her daughter and hugging her. "How can I?" Kristen snapped galreing at her mother tears foaming in her eyes, her lip starting to quiver. "My life is horrible!" She yelled, stamping her foot on the ground. She wriled around and ran out of the house, the wind hitting her face. "Kristen!" Katie yelled from the door, the wind blowing her voice away, as Kristen raced a few miles. Tears fell down, Kristen's face. Out of breath, Kristen started to walk, a old barn just a few kilometers away from her. Kristen started to walk towards the stable, and slid the door open. Sweet smell of sugar cubes, and the smell of her long gone horse still filled the stable. Kristen hadn't been here in years, since she stayed with her auntie Susie for 2 years after her horse, Twilight, died due of colic. Sniffing, Kristen walked down the isle, looking in stalls, at times, when she passed. She stopped infront of the mare's stall, and she started to cry. Her midnight blue blanket and halter were hanging on her stall door. Kristen opened the stall door and looked into the stall. Flash backs came into Kristen's mind, of her once beautiful pure black mare, standing in her stall, always welcoming Kristen in the morning with a whinny and a nuzzle. Kristen smiled more tears coming down. "Why did you have to leave us Twilight?" Kristen asked in a whisper.

Sarah
"We're suppost to be there around 11:30 so we have to leave here in about an hour, just enough time to for you two to finish packing." Annie leaned against the counter facing Sarah and Matt.
Sarah had taken a seat next to Matt and rested her chin in her hand. "Yeah I've got a few more things to pack." She hated leaving the McCoy's house, it had become a haven for her, but she couldn't handle putting the other kids in an uncomfortable place. She didn't want her habits to be picked up by the others, she couldn't ever forgive herself. She looked around at the kids, most of them understood that Matt and her were going off to what they had been calling a "camp" but none new why.
Matt
The little girl in PJ's looked up at Matt. "Where are you going? Will you be back? I don't want you to go."
Matt smoothed the blonde hair, "Now, now sweety I have to go away for a camp. I'll be back don't you worry. Tell you what, you can call me anytime Annie and Bill say it's ok. If you want you can draw a picture and ask them to mail it, I'll write you a letter so you'll know what we're doing at camp. It'll be like I never left here at all. Ok sweety?" She nodded her head and took a drink. He kept one arm around her and the other sitting on the table.
Bill, Annie's husband, came in from outside. "I've got all the bags you had ready packed. Finish eating and get finished packing so we can get going. The babysitter called and cancled so we've got to drop everyone by Grandma's house before we can leave." He kissed Annie and grabbed a cup of coffee.
Matt sighed and nodded, at least the kids spending a day at Grandma's would mean they wouldn't concentrate on him and his sister leaving. He stood up, setting the little girl on his chair and pulled Sarah to her feet. "Come on Sarah we've got lots to do." He led her upstairs and turned on her nearly automaticaly. "What did you do?" He motioned to her long-sleeved shirt, knowing she was covering something up.
Sarah
"Matt it's nothing, just a little scratch. I didn't do it on purpose, I slipped." Sarah rolled up her sleeve and showed him the band-aid. "That's it ok, that's all I did. I needed it you know that." She rolled her sleeve back down and turned away from him to her room to finish packing. "Go pack Matt."
She knew he hadn't listened when he followed after her and sat on her bed watching her pack. "Don't do it again Sarah, please. I don't like you doing that."
"Well I don't like you drinking, Matt. I'm trying to stop, I just can't. It's hard." She sat on the bed next to him and he placed an arm around her shoulders.
"I know it is. That's why we have to go. This stable will help, it has to. Get back to packing, I've finished completly." He squeezed her shoulders and watched her get back to work.

KristenSighing Kristen held, Twilight's once blanket, holding it close to her and breathing in her scent. "I miss you..." She muttered. It seemed like hours Kirsten standing their, but it was only minutes. A tabby cat, came up to Kristen, puring, and rubbing her head against Kirsten's leg. Kristen smiled lightly and picked Missy up rubbing her head gently. "I'm sorry I left without saying good-bye, Missy." Kristen said. In return Kristen got a lick on the nose. Sighing, Kristen put Missy back down on the concrete ground, still holding Twilight's blanket. She put it back down on the stall door, and then slowly walked into the tack room, wich was on her right. Lieing their on the saddle rack was a dusty worn brown english saddle, and ontop of it was a matching bridle. Tears flowed down Kristen's eyes as more thoughts of Twilight entered her mind. Missy meowed softly as she sat next to Kristen, looking at what used to be Twilight's tack.
