Re: For The Love Of Only Him [Mature, Only Those Willing To Commit]

[Saviour]

"Bye" I sigh the words, stroking the belly and hind quarters of Forever Strong. "Can you take me away from here? Take us somewhere where we can be free, without the annoying hassles of everyday life?" I say, more to myself than to Forever. But he did seem to understand, because he began walking. Who knows where to, or how far. But we were headed somewhere. Somewhere we could be free, without the hassles of everyday life.

~An Hour Later~
I release Sun into his paddock, then sigh, watching him canter off, whinnying to the other horses. I knew I would have to take him out again, if Taylor didnt come home soon. The sun had set, and its last rays of golden light iluminated the barn. It was still humid out, hot and sticky. The persperation from my forhead made my hair stick to my face, and I turned on the hose, letting the water run over my head. When I finished, I filled up the rest of the water buckets, and threw fresh hay into thier stalls.

[Saviour]

I must have fallen asleep. The rolling shoulder blades and hoofbeats of Forever Strong lulling me to a deep slumber. For when I awoke, the terrain was completey unfamiliar. Heck, there were even a new type of trees! Forever had stopped, grazing in a patch of clover. I rub my fist in a circular motion across my eye. Still tired. "Where are we?" I lift my eyes to the sky, a small, ending sunset peeking over the mountains. A nicker pulled from the vocals of my gelding, and he nipped my leg. I look down and slide off his back. The air smelling of cool water and moist Earth. Where were we?

[Spritz]

After bringing in the black mare, I watched her eat, her black coat shining. I guessed that she was half arab, by her delacatly dished face, and her large brown eyes. The sun had comepletly set now, and I sighed, knowing what I would have to do. Grabbing a few bottles of water and a granola bar from my truck, I stuff them into a saddle bag. I grab my headlight, and head back into the barn, taking the saddle off of its hook, and also swinging a bride over my shoulder. I approach the black mares stall, a grim look on my face.

[Saviour]

I slip around a cliff face and into a small crevice in the rock. A cool breeze lifting my hair. I jump violently and turn around, friendly eyes gazing up into mine. I push him back and walk away from the eerie darkness. "I am not going in there" I snort and grab a wild rasberry. Tasting the sweet bitterness and throwing the stem playfully at Forever Strong. "What shall we do with this freshly found freedom?" I giggle and jump into a sprint. Racing Forever to who knows where. My chest heaves in labored breath, and I slow to a jog, then walk, and finally a stop. He slows as well, then turns and trots to me. Snorting to clear his nostrils and showing me his back. "Alright, let's find somewhere to stay for tonight" I grasp his whithers and lift myself onto his back. Burying my cheek loveingly in his coat.

[Spritz]

The mare snorts, then quickly paws the ground. She knew what I was going to do, and she had been trained when I rescued her. I open the stall door and quickly tack her up, her black coat gleaming. She watched me with curious eyes, and I placed the saddle bag on her back. Leading her out of the stall, I bring her outside, then jump onto her back. Her ears flick back to me, wanting to know what I wanted her to do.

[Saviour]

The cool night air nipped my cheeks, causing them to turn a faint pink. I roll over and bury my face in my gelding's warm fur. "Can't we find somewhere else?" I ask with annoyance. He snorts and lifts his head, lipping my shoulder gently. I sigh and hug his neck "I know but I'm cold" I murmur and cozy up to his belly. He responds by wrapping his neck around me to keep my body heat up. I felt much better, and drifted into a light sleep.

[Spritz]

"Go girl." I say, my voice low and encouraging. She breaks into a steady canter, heading towards the dark woods where I had last seen Taylor. I shouldnt have left her, and I felt terrible. The mare kept at a steady pace, breath even. We entered the woods and I pulled her back, turning on my headlamp and shining it into the dark woods. "Taylor?"

[Saviour]

A voice violates my peaceful seclusion. "God Damnit" I snarl, cussing. I rarely used such fowl words, but they were appropriate in my eyes. "Come on" I usher Forever Strong to his feet, and mount quickly. With a quiet click of my tongue, he leaps into a gallop away from where the voice protruded. I knew he would hear the hoofbeats. It would be in my typical luck.

[Spritz]

(So is she running away from him?)

[Saviour]

[ yea cuz she thinks he is coming to take her back ]

[Spritz]

(But he is)

Black Rose whinnies, her voice shrill in the silent night. "Taylor!" I say, more commanding than gentle. "Please come back! I'm sorry!" I say, though I wasent sure why she was even mad at me. What had I said? That I liked hanging out with her and that I had to go to school? I was so confused. Girls in general, were confusing.

[Saviour]

[ I know ]

I roll my eyes and grip Forever's mane. He stops. "Leave me alone! I hate my life! I want to be away from everything for a while!" My voice tipping in a warp around sorrow. Great. Now he knew how screwed up my life was. Way to go, Taylor! My geldings shuffles his feet and turns. Anxious to begin sleeping once more.

[Spritz]

I hear her voice, and move towards it instinctavly. "Really? Your just going to run away into the woods without any water or food, no shelter? Do you know there are mountain lions around here?" Seeing Forever, The mare steps forward and near to the gelding, whickering softly.

[Saviour]

Forever throws his head roughly, bumping my chest slightly. "I do know that, I simply don't care! Leave me to die" My voice now uncaring and throwing itself around pitches. "And I don't need anyone else! I have the one person I truly love with me right here" I say in a more normal volume.

[Spritz]

"Its a horse..." I correct her. "And no. You dont want to die." I say, and turn the mare around. "But, I suppose if you want me to, I'll leave you here. Oh, and I saw a couger print on the way here. Just thought I'd warn you."

[Saviour]

I laugh and shake my head "And now you think I am stupid. I won't fall for that 'I scare her then she will come running home' Crap" I say, hysteria playing on my face. "And I am sorry, you don't even know me, I am screwed up ok? And you don't need to pussy-foot around me." I growl the words.

[Spritz]

I turn to her, eyes bright. I had seen a couger print on the way here. "Come back. Im not lying, I saw one. And I can show it to you too. Really, my life is messed up too. But dont go sulking around, thinking that you're doomed and dying. You have your whole life ahead of you, just come on."

[Saviour]

I sigh and shake my head slowly. "I don't want too" My voice was now soft, barely above a whisper. In the moonlight, my eyes were glossy with tears, but with everything I had left, I forced them away.

[Spritz]

"Why? Why dont you?" My voice was soft, and I slipped from the saddle, landing lightly on the ground. The mare shook her mane, nudging my back with her muzzle and nibbling my shirt. I stroke her velvet nose softly.

((g2g))

[Saviour]

The intake of breath seemed to echo forever through my mind. "I don't know... I don't. I simply don't" A solemn shrug ended the fury in my eyes and soul. My voice was shaky in regret and confusion.
[ whyyyyyyyyy =( I can't get on tomorrow btw, sorry ]

[Spritz]

"Hey, its ok." I move closer to her and place my hands on her shoulders, staring into her eyes. "Its ok. It will all be ok, and I'm not just saying that." I wasent sure what else to say to comfort her, but whatever was wrong, I would be here for her.

(sorry so short)

[Saviour]

I look at him as he speaks, and as soon as he finishes, I throw myself into his arms. Hugging him tightly and resting my head on his shoulder. I sniffle slightly and close my eyes tightly.

[ same here lolzzz ]

[Spritz]

I bit suprised by her sudden embrace, it took me a moment to figure out that I was comeforting her. I hug her tightly, trying to make her feel secure in my arms. Feeling her tears wet my shirt, I sigh. "If you want, you can stay in my bunk house tonight. I mean, if you dont want to see your grandpa... Whatever, I have an extra bed." I hoped that didnt sound really weird, asking her to stay the night with me.But, if she wanted to, I was ok with that.

[Saviour]

I shake my head lightly "Thanks, but Grandpa wouldn't like that" I say softly, still holding him tightly. I didn't really know why I was, it was all a blur to me. All my memories of anger and what I didn't know was hidden pain flooding back to me. I was numb to my surroundings and the cold. I lift my face from his shirt, thinking he might not like me crying into it. "Ssorry" I say quietly, looking down.
