Winter's Mystery:
"Paige." Mystery turned her head around, wondering who had spoken with such aggression to the old mare. To her utter surprise, it was Grim. The tall gelding was obviously angry, and the filly wondered why. She had just fought with him, mocked him and his friends, and his position in the herd. Why would he reprimand the lead mare and not her? The yearling watched as he appeared to regain some of his strength and will back as he threatened Paige, who retaliated by biting at that ugly mule named Missy. The yearling snorted, wondering how biting the foal would help the situation. Oh well, Paige probably just liked inflicting pain on others. The tobiano snorted when the elderly mare quickly told everyone to shut up. "It's okay, Paige. We won't tell anyone what happened, but would you like some water for that burn? It looks pretty serious, and I'm sure your ancient flesh can't take much more abuse." She snorted, mentally high-fiving Grim and herself. Mystery trotted after him, shooting an utterly triumph look to Paige, adding a wink for good measure. “Looks like I’m staying in this in herd longer then you Paige.. Even Hades must not want to deal with you.” Since horses couldn't smirk, she decided a sassy mane flip would work just as well as she scampered away from the deranged mare.
Blue Moon:
Blue was watching the commotion from the other side of the herd. She was in no rush to defend her daughter- if anyone would need protection, it would be Paige. While the aging mare did have a nasty temper, Mystery's personality consisted of sass and only sass. With her friends and Grim on her side, there was no one Blue's foal couldn't defeat. She began to become concerned, however, when it appeared that the lead mare was trying to drive the fillies out. She began a slow trot towards the argument, her burden weighing her down. As the blue roan neared, she began to hear bits and pieces of the dispute. "..Mystery's rude and bratty behaviour.." The pregnant mare hurried her pace, attempting to end the fight before someone did something they regretted. Just as she reached the little group Grim lunged, biting at Paige's flesh in an effort to control her that surprised Blue. She knew he was gelded, scarred not only so he couldn't have foals but scarring his personality. As a stallion, Grim had probably been much more aggressive and dominant and while the small mare was very familiar with this type of behaviour, seeing it in Grim had shocked her. She reached out to nudge him as he turned and swiftly began heading towards Thunder and his mare. Blue sighed as Mystery quickly followed him, leaving her as the only adult standing against Paige. She turned and hastily pinned her ears, showing dominance that the calm little mare usually lacked. "Listen, Paige. As the lead mare you are in charge of this herd and I respect that and you.. But I believe that control had gone to your head. If you are attempting to banish young ones because they have done nothing except not praise your foals, then perhaps we need a new lead mare." She snorted, getting angrier as she went on. "I have no interest in your position but I do have interest in this herd, and if I have to be lead mare to keep it together, then I will. And let me be honest here- if anyone else becomes lead undoubtedly their first act would be to drive away you. I certainly would."
((I have risen from the dead and graced you all with my presence and po- Just kidding guys. xD I'm really sorry for not posting. I've been super busy with school and barn stuff, but I'm back now. c:))
Paige ignored mystery, she was being her typical bratty self. She was more interested in what was going on with grim and her friend. However distracted when Blue came over she frowned "who said anything about banishing? your foal needed to learn a lesson, a lesson many foals go through, a lesson many lead mares give. if she'd peacefully left the herd, she would have been able to come back after she realised what she'd done wrong, and she'd submitted. Your foal's bratty attitude said otherwise, and Grim just lost the plot" she muttered softly and walked off, lashing her tail as she walked closer to phantom. "I personally think it's a great idea Phantom" she smiled sweetly to her friend "time to get away from all these dogs" She grinned and then walked past them to where she had been headed, there was a small stream, she was thirsty, and ice was already forming on it. She lowered her muzzle to drink, a shock to her gut, it was really very cold.
(I'm killing paige of this winter, she's gonna fall ill.. I'm bored of her power hungry personallity... )
