Author's note:
As absurd as the concept of a hucow is, I tried to take it quite seriously, to delve in the psychology of a hucow and her owner, in search of what this admittedly strange fetish means, at least to me. Therefore, beside the tropes of the genre (kinky sex, humiliation and de-humanization), you will find the musings of a young girl who chooses to become a cow in a quest for true love and a place in the world. I hope that the result is an original and refreshing take on the matter.
All kinds of feedback are appreciated, especially those about grammar, as English is not my first language.

12. The year of the cow
Despite all Cream Pie's attempt to broker peace between us, I and Cupcake had no intention of burying the hatchet. She started to be even bolder with Ava, just to rub it into my face. The bitch knew that I had no way of responding to that, because, to make matters even worse, Aidan now had just disappeared, who knows where. Not that I wanted to discuss the matter with him, anyway: I was angry at him too. The coldness that hovered in our enclosure despite the warmth of the stables was so blatant, that Aaron came to ask us what was happening. Of course, we could not really tell him, because cows cannot speak to humans, so he tried to guess, getting surprisingly close.
"You know what's the problem with you girls?" he said to me "That instead of fighting immediately when someone offends you, like us boys, you just store you anger somewhere quiet, until it overflows and makes everything go to shit!"
Wonderful, now I even had to listen to the cow whisperer.
"Why don't you just lay down your hooves and talk about it like adults?"
I mooed a "maybe", just to shut him up. He had been nice, really nice actually, but I was not in the mood for reasonable advice. I just wanted to smash Ava's face with my hooves.
After another, horrible, couple of days, it was Ava's turn to try and mend my friendship with Cupcake. She did not try to use words, probably because she was not fond of them. Instead, she had the brilliant idea of stopping to spread her legs for Cupcake. As soon as that became clear to her too, we had our worst fight yet, just when I had thought that it could not go worse.
Cupcake came to me and for a brief, really brief moment, I hoped that she wanted to make peace. Instead, she just burst into tears and accused me of having made Ava go away from her. Then, we fought. I mean physically. She jumped me and hit me with her fore-hooves on the back, while I jabbed her with my elbow. Cream Pie had to break us apart. We both cried ourselves to sleep. A part of me, just before dozing off, wondered how such a small thing could have turned us into such a nightmare. Perhaps it was the hormones, perhaps Aaron's theory was on the right track, but I was pretty sure that there was some important point that we were all missing...
The next day, probably both eager put a stop to other people's meddling in our affairs, we acted civil and almost cordial. Somehow, it was even worse than being openly mad at each other. Cream Pie, on her part, seemed paradoxically more miserable than we were. We both tried separately to explain to her that it was not her fault and she wanted us to think that we had convinced her, but we both knew that we had not. Anyway, I was not in the mood to cheer up someone who was sad because I was sad. It should have been the other way around!
The universe seemed to have pity on me by replacing Ava with Aidan.
"I am so sorry that we haven't seen each other for so long." he apologized, fetching me from the enclosure.
I did not even reply. He was probably taking me for a quick fuck and then forget about me.
"I was working on a surprise, you know?"
No improvement of the stables would move me from the glacial anger I felt. Speaking of cold, he pulled aside one of the curtains in the covered track that led to the breeding rooms and signaled with the crop to go out. It was fucking freezing! I immediately started shivering.
"Sorry, it's a bit out of the farm!" he said, fetching his coat.
I hoped that he would cover me, but instead he just put it on without a thought. Cows do not wear clothes, unfortunately.
Anyway, fully determined not to give him the benefit of my audience, I just kept walking. As he had stated, we went out of the corral. A part of me that I was determined not to acknowledge was quite curious about his intentions. It had been a couple of months since the last time I had a chance to be outside and winter had drawn all color from the landscape around the farm. Wonderful, just perfect to set the mood for sex. Feeling that I was going to freeze to death if we did not reach our destination soon, I broke my deep-seated cow training and started to walk faster, as wrong as it may have felt.
"You know? I have been having trouble with the farm's neighbors." Aidan was saying pleasantly.
Welcome to the club. I just noticed that my teeth were chattering audibly as he added:
"They don't like to have brothel a stone's throw away from home. Especially our kind of brothel. You know, they are a bit prudish."
We were now walking on the dirt road that led out of the farm. I knew that there was a country house confining with his property, whose entrance was on that very road. Did he want me to change their minds? It was hard to think in the cold. I was hugging myself in a pitiful attempt at keeping my body heat from leaving me.
"So they decided to move out, you know?" went on my lover, conversationally "It is really a pity, though, because they are not the only ones who don't want to live near a brothel, and therefore the price on their property just dropped."
We were in front of their gate. Finally! Wait a sec! That might mean...
"I, naive as I am, would have never predicted it. So I felt compelled to do something, repair the damage I had unwittingly done." he said, making his repentant tone almost believable "So I offered them to buy their house, at full price."
The gate opened and I turned around to jump on Aidan, eager to kiss him, forgetting just how terribly cold I was, as if his love could physically warm me up.
"Be a good cow, now, Gumdrop." he warned me, raising his crop.
Yes, yes, I would not let my impulsiveness ruin our perfect moment: I went back on walking. The house was quite big and was surrounded by a tall hedge. The previous owners were really prude! You could not see the farm from there, even though it was really close. As Aidan opened the door, a waft of warm air engulfed my body, now shivering uncontrollably. My confused skin felt as if it was sizzling, but I almost welcomed it, because it made Aidan wrap me in his arms.
We stayed like that for a long time, in front of the wonderful staircase that welcomed the guests at the entrance, Aidan kissing my head and stroking it, I imbibing his warm love. When I was feeling better, he let me go:
"So, as I was saying, I decided to move here."
I did not let him finish. I needed to kiss him, as junkies need their fix. He did not seem less eager to meet my lips either. He grabbed my hindquarters and hoisted me up. I did not care where he was bringing me, I just kept kissing his cheeks, his forehead and his neck. I was put on something slanted and narrow: the banister of the elegant staircase.
