Ever nodded, softly,"Sounds amazing."she agreed, grabbing the luggage and starting towards the cabins,"So Miss Cat, where ya from?"she asked, curious as she glanced about, her eyebrows furrowing when she spotted the police car, worries began to enter her brain. What could be wrong? Whose was gone that she hadn't seen in awhile? Miguel! She bit back a scream and pushed on, if he was hurt or worse dead, she would lose it and it would push her over the edge.

_{Sadie ended up heading outside, passing Aiden and the officer just when he said Miguel had been killed. She froze, icy relization creeping into her bones, she turned slowly and approached, brow furrowed. She looked towards the officer. "Miguel's... Dead?" She asked in disbelief.}

_{Cat's head turned, looking over towards the police car. "Los Angeles..." She murmured slowly, concentration on what was taking place. She quickened her pace a little bit so that they could find the room. "Let's just go inside and put the stuff down. Do you want to see what happened?" She asked Ever as they entered the dwelling.}

Ever nodded,"Please."she said, biting her lip as she hurried up the stairs. She led Cat to the bedroom next to her's,"We get our own rooms and we can decorate it however we want."she said, bouncing on her toes, anxious to go and see what was wrong. All the while she waited she prayed it wasn't him.

_{Cat nodded glumly. She just had a bad, gut feeling. Out of the blue she hugged Ever tightly in a real, genuine caring hug, in a true act of friendship. She then let the luggage fall onto the mattress and scrambled out of the room and outside. From there, she let Ever go first, and hung back. but nearby}

_{Aiden quietly thanked the officer for coming out to share the news and turned away. It was a shame to hear that sort of news, especially so close to the holidays. He knew quite a few people had grown fond of Miguel in the time he'd stayed around. It wasn't fair that he now had to share the news that the jockey had passed away. How did he go about doing this, especially to those as fragile as Ever and Keely?}

_{Sadie stumbled towards the stables, eyes wide with disbelief. She hasn't known Miguel all too well, but he had been a great guy and hadn't deserved this. Her eyes stung and a lump formed in her throat as she slumped down against a hay bale, head in her hands. The jockey didn't take well to anyone dying around her, it reopened old, painful wounds.}

Ever smiled, shocked, hugged the girl back. She hurriedly walked out to see the police car coasting out the drive, she practically ran the rest of the way to Aiden,"Aiden what is it? Aiden please tell me everything is fine and this bad feeling in my gut is fake."she said, bouncing on her toes as she anxious awaited the answer.

_{Aiden stared at Ever, expression one of pain. "Ever, if I said that, it'd be a lie. Miguel was in an accident last night." He took a shaky breath, finding it hard to keep a tremor from his own voice. "He was already gone when medics arrived," He explained quietly, gazing at her and waiting for it to dawn on her face. He knew she wasn't going to react well to this.}
