Star In The Dark

Star In The Dark~

My dark body streaked through the forest, the full moon's light filtered through the trees, dappling on my dark coat. I was nearly impossible to see as I ran, and occaisonly I threw galnces behind me. The black demon followed, its red eyes blazing in the moonlight. It was gaining on me, coming closer and closer...
I emerged into a clearing, my head lowered with exaustion as I stumbled to a stop. My sides heaved, and my bosy was soaked in sweat. Or was it blood? No... It was my sweat. I looked behind me, sure the demon was right there, waiting to kill me.
But it was gone. I raised my head slightly and looked towards the distant mountains to see the sun rising. THe demon always disappeared when the sun rose. I sighed and stumbled to a stream, drinking deeply after I cooled down. Then I laid down, exaustion closing my eyes. Yet I did not sleep. I waited, too frightened to drift off.

After a few minutes, I raise my head, eyes scurrying over the landscape. Still nothing in sight. I struggled to my feet and whinnied weakly, listening for an answer. I lowered my head and began to graze, keeping a wary eye out for the demon that haunted me at night.

Star In The Dark~

I hear him adn my head shoots into the air, my nostrils flaring. I struggle to get to my feet, but I am so weak I just give up. One dar, blue eye fixed him with a hard stare.
"Who are you?" I demand, my voice hard. I am weak and alone, and here comes this stallion, no doubt just wanting to breed me, using me as if I was a tool to merely carry his offsrping.

I prance in, carrying my feathered feet high. The chains on my body rattled, and no one could see my eyes, for they were covered with a bandana. The sun gleamed on my midnight black coat, shimmering slightly because i was sweaty. I had come a long way. I come to the spring the mare had been at, lowering my head to drink I take a quick drink then raise my head up alert. Although I could not see because of the bandana, it always appeared I knew exactly where everything was. My nostrils dilate showing the reddish pink color inside. I could smell her and the other stallion...along with something else..I snort and raise my tail bolting forward a few yards. I come to a instant stop with my head raised high and ears tilted foreward all the way. Gazing around the meadow my head stops...pointing at her I stood like a statue at first cause I could smell the thing's scent on her, but then my muscles relax and I lick my lips in understanding. I nicker softly with a question note in it* "Are you okay? Do you need assistance miss?" *My deep soft voice asked in concern. I had a lead mare already, and we were of evil aliance, well...more of a nuetral aliance, I would never harm a mare unless they were rabid or harming my family. Family always came first. I stand where I was and did not move for I did not want to scare her*

(sorry not picture

looks concern at the mare with her weak voice''i am last ember my lady,all you all right?''look over and see the new stallion and snorts''who may you be?''i say shaking my wings showing how big i was.''Can you see this mare is hurt?she dose not need you trying to court her.''i am not concentrating on courting her but helping now that i see she needs help.

[Guest]

~Fantasy~

My covered head turns to the other stallion and I growl with warning "Do not insult me invalid. If simply asking her if she is alright or needs help is courting her. Then you are doing the same thing." My deep voice crys in dismay. I stood where I was and did not move. I kept my voice low so I would not startle her. I flick an ear in the direction of the woods*

[Guest]

sniffs and turns to the mare but stops halfway''what was that?''i say in a tight voice i turn to the woods lower head and pricks ears to the dark side of the woods.glares into the darkness my eyes burning into them.''probably just a rabbit''

I nicker to her again and paw the ground softly. I lower my head and sniff at it, my breath making small dusty clouds rise around my head and up into the sky blue morning. I raise my head again and take a deep breath as a slight breeze comes in from the mountans. I catch the scent of an apple tree, I then notice the apple tree, I look at the mare then at the stallion and snort. I rear half-way up and spin on my hind quarters towards the tree. Cantering smoothly over to it, my tail raised high behind me like a black shinning flag. Stopping under the tree, my roundly shaped hooves crunch on the dried leaves. I approach a low hanging branch and carefully choose a bright sparkling red apple. Picking it carefully, I trot back to her my hooves clicking on the sandy rocks by the gurgling stream. Laying it down by her I back up and sigh softly with comfort

mutters''show off''rears into the air and paws the sky my red wing make gusts of wind and takes off in to the blue sky and circle above them.

Watching his wings beat the air above, I toss my head up and down snorting while I do it. I bring my head back facing her. Concern started to cloud my mind. To get rid of it I focus on getting sweet water to her. I approach her slowly and cautiously, pawing the soft earth next to her gently I begin to make a hole next to her. After digging a desired hole I line it with clay. I go to a soft leafed tree and pull a branch off, trotting back I then line the hole again with leaves. Smiling I walk quietly to the stream and dipped a gourd into the sparkling water, the gourd hung around my thick neck at all times...well while I traveled at least. Turning around slowly back up the sandy hill, my hooves make deep impressions in the sand. Going to her and stopping at the hole, I pour the cold, sweet water into it. Sighing once more I back up and lay down a few feet from her.

I snort while they talk, ignoring the apple the one put down by me. I watch Last Ember take into the skies and look at the other stallion.
"Hello," I say, my voice still a little tight and weak, "I am Star In The Dark," I say, shaking my mane before laying my head back down on the ground with a small sigh, keeping my hard eyes on the stallion before me and Last Ember circling overheadin the skies.

"Hello Star in the Dark." My head turns towards her, and instantly I lunge up to my feet. I now knew what the smell was on her. Backing up a few steps from her, I look around in the surrounding woods. "He's following you isn't he." I say through tightly clenched teeth. Ignoring the stallion above me. My nostrils dilate trying to take in all the scents of the woods. Finally relaxing I turn back to her, my dark coat quivers for a second. Remaining away from her I stand still. Had I infuriated her? I asked myself.

My whole body goes tense as I watch him lurch to his feet and I pin my ears, baring my teeth, sure he was going to attack. When I see that he didn't, I close my mouth and relax my ears forward slightly.
"If you mean a demon... Then yes." My voice is curt, holding suspicion and distrust in it as I look him over, my body still tense.

~Fantasy~

"Do you mean to tell me that you don't know who sent it?" Looking skeptically over at her. I lower my head thoughtfully. "Well then again most horses don't...." Sighing I back away from her. Did she not see all that I had done for her already? Showing in my actions that obviously I was not even thinking about touching her let alone harming her. I shift my weight, the sun catching on the chains on my back they glint for a second in the sunlight then go dull again.

I roll my eyes slightly, then struggle to get up. My strength fails me as it did before and I sigh.
"All I know is that that thing has been chasing me for well ver a month!" I eye him skeptically.
"Do you know anything else about it?" I ask. A part of my mind scolded me for being rude, and for a second I found myself admiring his courage. Then I shake my head, throwing the thoughts away for at least the moment, adn fix him with my hard gaze again.
"What is your name?" I ask, suddenly curious.

[Guest]

~Fantasy~

"Yes, I know very well where it comes from and what it is." I look gravely at the ground. Sighing I turn to her. "My name is Fantasy" Bowing down to one knee for a few moments. Grunting when I get up, licking my lips I sneeze and shake my head. "May I add, you must be a very cunning mare to out smart that Demon from &*#% for over a month!" I grin at her for the first time. If she could see my eyes, she would see admiration in them.

[• Echo]

I toss my head.
"You have to be tough to make it through the world," I say with a small snort.

Nodding my head I look behind then turn back to her. Pondering whether to go or not, I back up a few steps then wheel away and walk down the sandy shore. My feet grinding quietly in the sand and splashing softly when the water washes up on them. She didn't seem to take to kindly to me and I had no intention of making her mad. I take in a deep breath and exhale slowly the soft sweet smells of the different grasses.

I watch him and sigh, then glance up at Last Ember overhead. With another sigh, I see the apple and eat it slowly. After a few minutes I start grazing quietly, suddenly noticing how ravenous I was.

Shaking my head I turn around. My father always taught me to never give up. And thats exactly what I'm doing, Giving Up! I musn't. I try until she actually tells me to leave. I thought to myself. Trotting slowly to her I smile kindly. "Is there anything you need Star? I hope you dont' mind me calling you that?" Bringing my head down I sniff at some green grass, deciding it was fine I start eating it. My teeth clicking together as I ate I sigh relaxed. Till I realized it was noon time, then a worried expression crossed my face. I have to get her to shelter before dark. I realized.

I jump a little when he calls me by my nickname, but ignore it.
"No, no, it's fine..." I say, frowning slightly.
"And I'm fine, I'll just stay here," I say, laying my head down, closing my eyes momentarily.
