'You don't get it, girl, do you? This is my life. I'm trained to kill.' Heck thought.
BANG!
[/b]
Heck's Angel just stood there as the gate swung open. He reared and spun into the ring. Once his front feet hit the ground, he threw his hindquarters up.
Vlad easily stayed on. He knew Heck's moves and he leaned forward when Heck reared. He leaned back as Heck bucked. Every move Heck did he quickly moved with him.
Heck turned in a tight circle once his hind hooves where two inches from the ground. he slammed on the brakes after a few circles and glanced at the clock as he threw his hindquarters up a split second after he stopped. 4:006 seconds.... His slowest time in most of his career.
Vlad stayed on still moving with Heck's Angel. He leaned back a little when Heck slammed on the brakes. He was already ready when Heck bucked again. He glanced at the clock as well and smirked slightly.
'One of his slowest times... Didn't think i could stay on for so long....'Heck's breath was slightly ragged, but he reared up and jumped forward. He took off bucking and twisting himself around, doing anything he could think off to get the boy off.
'Why..... is... this.... so.... hard.....' he thought to himself, not wanting an answer. He looked at the clock again. 6:325. Less than a second and a half. He tried slamming on the brakes, rearing up and whirling around to face the other way. He threw his hindquarters up and threw them around.
Vlad moved with Heck's Angel easily and stayed on no matter what. He really didn't feel like landing on the floor, hard. He watched the corner of Heck's eyes.
Zack's mouth opened in surprised that Vlad hadn't fallen off. "Wow... Didn't think he was this good....." He muttered to himself as he kept recording.
A loud buzzer sounded. Heck stood there and didn't move, panting. He couldn't believe it, but he wasn't going down without a fight. He threw his hindquarters up and took off again. He started to ram himself into a wall as two mounted riders came in and rode up to Heck and Vlad. As Heck moved closer to the rail, one of the riders reached out for Vlad.
Vlad reached out for the rider but didn't grab his hand in time as Heck pressed his leg to the wall. He flinched slightly feeling something wet roll down his leg. He cursed under his breath as he felt sharp pain go through his leg.
'Heck's Angel... Stop.... Its over... Stop running around so i can get off....' He thought to the horse.
Zack quickly stood up noticing Vlad got rammed into the wall. "Crap.... Thats his bad leg..." He muttered as he turned off the camera and ran down toward the railing. "Vlad!" He yelled as Heck's Angel was coming down the railing, toward Zack.
Heck slammed on the brakes as the second rider rode in front of them. He put his head down and gasped for air. His legs shook slightly and he took one step backward.
Vlad panted as he watched Heck droop his head. He patted the horse's shoulder. "Thanks for the ride..." He said still panting. He glanced at his leg and flinched when he moved it slightly. He looked up to see Zack's worried look. "I'm fine." He said calmly as Zack ran over to him.
Zack was leaning on the rail a little. "Man. How's you leg? That hit didn't reopen the wound did it?" He asked worried about his friend.
Vlad shrugged. "It hurts like Heck is all i gotta say.." He said calmly still petting Heck's Angel's shoulder.
One of the riders dismounted. "Can you get off?" he asked, handing the reins of his horse to the other rider.
Heck knew he was now trapped, but all he had to do was back up and he'd be free, but he had no energy to out run the two horses.
Vlad looked at the rider. "Ya i think so." He said before sliding off. Once he hit the floor his legs gave way and he fell to the floor. His eyes shut tightly and he put his hand to his leg, now he could feel something wet on his pant leg.
The rider caught him. He looked at his companion and nodded. He watched the rider start to ride off and Heck start to follow them. He looked at Zack. "You know him, right?" he asked.
Zack nodded. "Ya. He is my friend." He said jumping over the railing and landing on his feet. He quickly went over to them. "Dude. Your dad is going to kill you... Once he finds out.." He said standing next to Vlad watching him worriedly.
"Ya ya.... I know..." Vlad muttered opening his eyes and looking at Zack. "Don't tell me you got that on camera right?"
"Then i'm not telling..." Zack said calmly.
The rider nodded. "No one has beaten Heck in a long time... He is a smart horse and doesn't need the announcer to know he wins or looses. I imagine he threw a tantrum since he lost." he said, looking at Vlad's leg. He helped Vlad back onto his feet and looked at Zack. "Need help out?"
Vlad nodded slightly. "I know of Heck's Angel's history... He is my favorite bronco.... I know his movements, that's how i won..." He said calmly.
"You never told me that.." Zack said as he quickly went to his friends side. "Come on... Lets get your leg checked out..." He said as Vlad had his arm over Zack's shoulders. "I'm sorry i pushed you to ride Heck's Angel.
"Well you never asked.." Vlad said smirking a little.
"I can check it once we get out of the arena. Let's go." the rider said, walking toward the gate.
The boys followed quickly but not so fast Vlad's leg would hurt.
By the time the boys were out, the three horse were out of the ring and Heck was being led to his stall.
