Jester snapped himself from his daydream. Looking down at Sapphire, he chuckled. A smile dancing across his face. He nodded, " If the suit fits.." He said with a slight chuckle. Circling around her, he groomed her back as he passed her by. Trotting up towards the ocean blank, he sighed. Pawing softly at the wet sand, water lashing up at his sharp, pointed hooves.

[Guest]

Sapphire stared at him as he walked past her and she flicked her tail again, her scent catching on the breeze. Shaking her head, she frowned, “Do you come here often? You…seem like you know this place well.” Sapphire walked over to him, though she kept her distance as the stallion’s hooves cut into the sand, admiring him for his strength and muscular build. He had a gentle personality for such a large stallion. Looks can be deceiving, Sapphire thought quietly as she revered his shining coat.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester turned slowly around, scanning Sapphire over, she smiled down at her. " No.." He said, taking a step forward toward her. " Do you trust me?" He asked lightly.

[Guest]

Sapphire stared at him curiously. “No?” She repeated, wondering why he looked so confident around her; almost like he owned the place. Shrugging it off, Sapphire flicked her tail to rid herself of the pesky horseflies and looked at him skeptically when he asked her if she trusted him. Sure, they hadn’t known each other long, but… “Yes, I do. Why?” Sapphire asked, taking a step towards him, head lowered a tad. “Is there something wrong?”

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester was hurt inside, he needed for her to leave. His brother was coming for them. " I-I need you to go.." He said looking at her striaght in the eyes. Jester sighed, clentching his teeth together. He heard a faint cry in the distance. Gasping he whirled aorund seeing his brother and two other stallions behind him. Jester snarled, turning back to Sapphire. " Go! Run! If he gets you, he will hurt you!" He said. Nipping her withers before leaping towards him brother, crashing into his side. As his brother fell harshly, the two other stallions darted passed Jester towards Sapphire. His a faint sneer of rage, Jester prowled the ground roughly before taking off after them. Flying past the two, he nudged Sapphire forward. Bucking up at one, cracking his jaw. Jester with his head low, and shaking rapidly. He side-stepped and reared up with the white stallion. Tearing at his neck. JEster soon striked out with a powerful hoof, bringing the brute down instantly. He snorted, looking up too see his brother standing. Jester sneered, quickly racing into the forest. He prowled Emerald awake, soon bringing her up quickly but gently. " Run!" He said with a glint of seriousness in his eyes. He took off again and seen Klaus; Jester's brother taking Sapphire.

Instantly Jester knocked him down. Pressing his hoof to the soft layer of skin near his throat. Putting all his weight on him.

[Guest]

Sapphire stared at him, utterly confused. “L-leave?” she murmured, staring at him, her confusion mounting. “B-but we just met…” Sapphire’s head flicked up in fearful curiosity as she head a cry. Three stallions were racing towards them, and Sapphire had already half-reared and turned on her hind legs, getting ready to dart. She nodded when he nipped her, but stopped a few feet away. “Jester! Come on, you’ll get yourself hurt—” Sapphire stopped in midsentence when she saw Jester had already thrown himself at the leading stallion, and she whinnied loudly. “Jester!” She turned around and bounded back towards him, only to see two other stallions racing towards her. Momentarily stunned from what was going on, and how fast it was going on, Sapphire faltered, but managed to gain her footing just before the other two stallions cut off her escape route and burst into action. Sapphire ignored the harshness Jester was inflicting upon the two of them. As soon as he left, Sapphire stopped and looked into the forest where he’d disappeared, not taking notice of the stallion Jester had first attacked until he covered her. Stunned, Sapphire attempted another escape. “HELP!” she screamed.


Emerald looked up at Jester, suddenly fearful. Where was Sapphire? “Where is my sister!?” Emerald snorted angrily at him. Instead of running, Emerald trailed behind him but stopped short when she saw another stallion forcing himself upon her sister. “Sapphire!” Emerald shrieked, darting forward, ahead of Jester, pinning her ears and rearing up to knock the stallion off her precious sister when Jester came up and did it for her. Sapphire stumbled forward and fell, shiny tears littering her golden cheeks. “Oh, Sapphire…” Emerald murmured, looking over her sister and nuzzling her sister’s neck. Whirling around, Emerald pinned her ears at Jester, ignoring the fact he was destroying the stallion that had forced her sister, “This is your fault! If I had taken Sapphire away from you when I first saw you none of this would’ve happened! She's so young! And now look what you've done!”

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester killed his brother, staring down at the lifeless body. HIs ehart ached but then again he didnt care. Then snapping words sliced his thoughts. He pinned his ears, sneering rather furious. He whirled around, rearing up infront of Emerald. He let out a raging neigh and landed infront of her harshly. His hoof slicing the earth, he bobbed his head. Jester sneered, eyes full of rage. " This!.. This is NOT my fault! I didn't mean for this to happen! I was trying to protect Sapphire! He was comign after you two anyways!! I was coming here searching for BOTH of you, hoping to keep you safe and out of my brothers way!" He snapped, muscles popping out of his large frame. It seemed as if he grew taller in rage, looking down at Emerald. Jester sneered, " Your welcome! I could have killed you myself! Which is what they were going to do!" He said, shoving Emerald out of his way. Jester trotted off..

[Guest]

Emerald flinched at Jester’s words and instinctively backed down, lowering her gaze to the ground. She glanced at the dead body of the forcer, gaze flickering back to Sapphire, who was laying on the ground, staring at it, her gaze completely blank. Despite the commotion and ruckus Emerald and Jester had been making with their words, Sapphire hadn’t moved an inch. “Sapph?” Emerald murmured, looking at her sister in a meaning-to-be-comforting way. “Sister… It’ll be all right. If he…if you…”

Sapphire looked up at her sister, “If I have a foal, Em, I’m leaving you. I don’t want a foal of force to be killed simply because the scar of another stallion caused it!” Sapphire’s voice raised at the end of her mini-speech and she wobbled to her feet. “So what if you know what it’s like!? You just fought off Jester and he was our—nevermind. He was MY friend! We needed a male to protect us, Em, because we both know that YOU CAN’T!” Sapphire, still with unsure footing, darted off, nearly stumbling over herself as she hurled past Jester, leaving both of the horses she cared about behind. And now she questioned herself: did she actually care anymore?

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester pricked his ears forward to ehar yelling, then the faint distant hooves beating fast upon the ground. Then he neighed loudly as somethign flashed past him. Widening his eyes, he noticied it was Sapphire. He snarled, leaping forward again. HE raced after her, his pace getting faster, soon he was a black blurr as he bolted past sapphire. Whirling around infront of her, he reared up, striking out his hooves. Letting out a furious neigh. Then landed softly, he looked down at her. " Do not go further! The band of stallions are only a few miles away from us! If you go that way, how will I know you will come back? Don't think for one second that I will let you go there, your madd if ya do.." He snapped. Then calmed down. " Don't worry, your not gonna have a foal. He didn't force himself into you, I made sure of that.." He said hsi eyes going serious. Jester stood like a forcefield infront of Sapphire. " Please.. Stay, don't go.." He said rather kind.

[Guest]

Sapphire ignored the hoof beats behind her, until they swerved in front of her and forced her to stop. She skidded on the grass and turned, about to bolt in another direction until she noticed her follower to be Jester. She stared at him. “He…he still…” Sapphire stuttered, shaking her head, plopping back down onto the grass. “I was scared…” Sapphire murmured quietly, refusing to budge, her eyes glazed over with tears. “I was scared I’d end up like my sister. I don’t want to have a foal unless it’s by choice…” Sapphire shook her head slowly and sadly. “He… tried…” Sapphire shuddered. “I was so scared,” she repeated.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester sighed, bending down. His knees buckled and he lay beside her. Plaacing his head on her neck. " He tired, but I would never let him force you.. Your too young and beautiful. I killed my own blood, for you, Sapphire." Jester said, guilt burning inside of him. He glanced over at Emerald, flicked his tail for her to come. He nuzzled Sapphire's head up. " Keep your head held high.. And nothing will stand in your way.." Jester said, standing up beside her. He shook himself of dirt and grass. Backing away only a feet inches.

[Guest]

Though she immensely appreciated his words, Sapphire found it hard for herself to be able to agree with the words. What if Emerald had been right? What if he’d tried to force her like his brother had? But he did have an extremely good point… He’d killed his own flesh and blood, like he’d said, to save her from being the victim of rape… He’d saved her so much trouble… Now, thanks to him, she would never have to go through what her sister did. When he told her she was beautiful, she turned and looked at him. “I don’t agree,” she commented quietly, “But I will never be able to thank you enough for saving me. Without you… who knows what would’ve happened. I owe you so much...What can I do to repay you for your kindness and sacrifice? I feel like I was unworthy compared to what you did... And there are still some out there, like you said. I'll stay away from them, if it pleases you. But there has to be some other way I can repay you...I'll do anything. I feel so guilty about making you kill your own brother, even if it was involuntary.”

Emerald looked back and stared at Jester as he motioned for her to come. “No.” Emerald muttered, shaking her head and turning around, moving off and away from the other two horses. She wasn’t going to talk to Sapphire for a while. Not after what she/d said. Emerald knew she could take care of the two of them.. she knew she could! She’d been doing it ever since their mother had left them, as well as their father. Why was it now that Sapphire deemed her inappropriate to lead? Perhaps it was simply the situation Sapphire had been in, but Emerald no longer cared. If her sister thought Jester could care for her better, so be it. Emerald wouldn’t help her little sister anymore. “Don’t come crying to me when he gets you pregnant.” Emerald said bitterly before turning and cantering off at a slow and easy pace.

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester let out hissing words as Emerald said that. He winced at the thought, but he knew he would never unless it was her decieson if she wanted that. Jester looked down at Sapphire. " dont listen to your sister.." he spoke loud enough for Emerald to hear, he stomped his paw harshly on the ground. " No... You dont need to repay me, you owe no depths here.." he said gently.

[Guest]

Emerald snorted. “Idiot,” she mouthed. Emerald snorted and flicked her tail, picking up a trot and moving away.

Sapphire looked up at Jester, “My sister? She’s not my sister. My sister is nice…and she cares…” Sapphire shook her head and looked up at Jester. “There’s nothing I can do? Nothing at all…?” Sapphire searched his gaze, suddenly afraid. “You’re going to leave now, aren’t you?”

[ major brainfart.. ]

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester shook his head, " No im not gonna leave." He said simpily. " And there is nothing for you to repay me. I done what I was supposed to do.." He said gently.

[Guest]

Sapphire looked at him, scrambling to his feet. “Are you lying?” sapphire looked at him, confused now. “emerald told me she’d never leave me, and she just did. What am I going to do… What is there to do… I’m all alone now. My sister left… How can I stay with you, if I’m only going attract attention from rapist stallions? I should really go… I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble, Jester.”

[°∞ßlûē•ßãbÿ•Døll∞°]

Jester stepped infront of her and sighed, " its your choice, if you want to go. I'm not stopping you, but if your gonna ho, please watch your self. And ill always be around, yell if your in need of help, ill come running.." Jester said, side stepping out of her way.

[Guest]

Sapphire stared at him incredulously. Did he really care that much? Was it true…? Would he come running if she was ever in need of assistance? Or what if she never called…would he leave it at that and pretend he’d never known her? Shaking her head, Sapphire murmured, “I’m so sorry that I got you into this mess. I should’ve suffered the consequences like a real mare, instead of running to you. You don’t need my problems on you.” Sapphire smiled gently. “Well, if you wouldn’t mind it…I guess I could stay a bit longer. You’re the first person who’s ever bothered to pay any attention to me—besides Emerald.”
