The twins were supposed to clean out the stalls daily but had not done it at all this week. Jane had pointed this out to Faith and instructed her to do a better job with the children's chores. Faith said that she would see to it that they were done.
She decided that she would do it the first day. That way, she could not be accused of assigning things that she would not do. And she would pitch in occasionally to clean them in the future.
She did not mind cleaning the stalls. She had been around horses her entire life and this was just one aspect that people get used to in the horsey life. The horses were in the field at the moment and she was working on the first stall.
It was hot in the barn. She opened all of the doors to get a breeze blowing through it. That helped, but it still didn't cool her off enough to be comfortable.
She thought about taking off her top and shorts. That would help but she hadn't planned very well for the day. She was wearing panties under the cutoff jeans so that would work. But she had worn a halter top and removing that would have left her naked from the waist up. Under normal circumstances, she probably would have done that but she knew that she couldn't risk having the twins find her so exposed. And she also didn't want to go back into the house. The twins were happily watching TV and she didn't want to risk drawing their attention by walking through the house and having them follow her out to the barn. She would just suffer in the heat.
She got the stall cleaned out and spread some fresh straw on the floor before starting on the second one. By the end of the second stall, however, the heat was unbearable. She went to the door and cooled off for a moment. She looked around and saw that the twins were nowhere to be seen. They were obviously still watching their favorite shows. What had seemed like a risky act earlier now became a necessity. She peeled her shorts down her sweat covered legs and then pulled her top off, hanging them on hooks in hopes that they would dry before she had to put them back on to return to the house.
At last, it was bearable. She blushed a bit as her heavy breasts swayed on her chest as she worked, knowing how wicked it was to be nearly naked outside, but at least she wasn't burning up. She cleaned out the last two stalls and was spreading the straw in the final one when she heard the giggling. She turned to look and froze as she saw two grinning girls at the door of the stall.
"What a pretty pony," Cinny said. "And she even started preparing herself for us."
"Yes. A beautiful filly," agreed Linny. "Nice lines."
"Okay, girls," Faith said as she looked crossly at them. "You've had your fun. Now go find something to do while I finish up."
"Oh," said Cinny. "We already have something to do." She closed the stall door and slipped a padlock into the latch, clicking it shut. "We have a new pony to train."
"You're not funny," Faith said, raising her voice. "Let me out of here this instant or I'll tell your mother."
"Oh, you can tell her," responded Linny. "But it will have to wait until next week."
"What do you mean?" asked Faith, feeling a cold chill snake down her spine.
"She was just here," explained Cinny. "She packed a suitcase and headed for the airport. She said something about an emergency in Europe. She hopes to get home next week but it could take longer."
"We looked for you," said Linny, "but we couldn't find you. We assumed you had gone for a walk or run or something. And Mom couldn't wait. She had a plan to catch."
Faith silently groaned to herself. How was she going to control these imps? Especially when she was trapped and nearly naked.
"Have faith," said Cinny. Then she giggled. "Actually, we're the ones who have Faith. But we can take care of ourselves and we'll take care of you too."
"Yes, we have Faith," Linny giggled with her sister. "Now be a good little filly and give us your boots and panties."
"I will not!" Faith said indignantly. "Give me the rest of my clothes and let me out of here this instant!"
The two girls turned toward the door and started walking to it. "We'll get them; either the easy way or the hard way." They kept walking.
"Wait! You can't leave me here!" The girls just kept walking and quickly disappeared into the sunlight. Faith collapsed against the bale of straw that she had been working on and fumed. How dare they?
Chapter 4
It was growing dark when the girls returned. "We're cooking chicken. Would you like some?"
"Of course I would. Now let me out of here," Faith demanded.
"We will. The price is the rest of your clothes," said Cinny.
"Not a chance," retorted an angry Faith. "But when I do get out, you two will have a lot to pay for."
"Suit yourself," said Linny. Then, the two girls turned and left the barn again, turning off the lights as they went.
Faith continued the examination of her stall. There must be some way of getting out. But, try as she might, she could not find any. The stalls were solidly built. Plus they had bars across the top. The bottom four feet of the walls were wood. Then steel bars extended upward another six feet to a wooden rail that held the steel bars that formed the roof. All of this ensured that she would not be able to climb her way to freedom. "Why would they have bars on the ceiling?" she wondered. Horses don't need them.
It was daylight the next time she saw her captors. She had spent a miserable night trying to get comfortable on the little straw bed that she had fashioned in one corner of the stall. And after the sun went down, the temperature dropped. It had been a chilly, uncomfortable night for her and she hardly slept at all.
"Bacon and eggs for breakfast," said Cinny.
"Want some?" asked Linny.
"You know the answer to that," replied Faith.
"Then may we have your clothes?" asked Cinny.
"You know the answer to that too."
"Oh well," said Linny. "Maybe you'll want lunch." Then they left a brooding Faith alone in her stall.
By lunchtime, Faith's stomach was grumbling. She desperately wanted to eat. She was even more desperate for water. She had not even had a sip of water in almost twenty four hours.
"Grilled cheese for lunch," said Cinny. "Want some?"
Faith refused to hand over her remaining clothes and the girls turned to leave again. "Wait! Can I at least have some water?"
"You can have all of the water you want," replied Linny as she held up a water bottle. "The price is the same."
Faith slumped against the wall and groaned as she shook her head. The girls left her alone in her thoughts.
The afternoon grew hot again, which did nothing to help her thirst. She was sweaty again which she knew was just dehydrating her faster. Her lips were dry and her tongue kept sticking to the roof of her mouth. By the time dinner came around, she knew that she was defeated. She removed her boots and socks and pushed them through the bars. She took a deep breath and slid her panties down her legs, leaving her completely naked. This was how the girls found her.
"Oh, lookie!" squealed Linny in delight when she saw her very naked cousin. She picked up the clothing and set it on a table out of reach of the stall.
Cinny held up a water bottle to Faith's lips and let her start drinking. Cinny raised her free hand and lifted Faith's left breast, enjoying its weight. Faith reached up and grasped Cinny's wrist, pulling the hand away from her body. Cinny reacted immediately by pulling the water bottle away from Faith's lips. The captive girl whimpered as she realized her dilemma and released the offending hand. The hand returned to claim the luscious breast at the same instant the bottle was returned to Faith's lips.
