Zorro
I whinny happily and bolt a few steps when she tags me. I laugh and chase after Shy, snaking my head with a smile. I whinny happily. It would have been nice if Maria was here with me.

Shy smorts bolting gead so not to be tagge

Maria glared coldly at Zorro. Her ears went flat back against her neck and she didn't even flinch in his direction as he took off. She wasn't a soft mare, No, she was mean, she was cruel and she was harsh. By now he of all should know that. She didn't run after another horse like Decoy did, Course she would if their life was in threat but not now, He was being a little childish. Was that not what mates did? protected each other.. Fine then, He could look after himself.. She wouldn't protect him, not from anything.. If that was what he wanted, it was what he'd get. On top of silent treatment. She didn't like being yelled at, and if she were punished, someone else would be too. She glared coldly at Decoy, if he couldn't see she was P*ssed off, than he was stupid... Her ears went back and she nipped the colt on the rump making him stand up. She didn't want to be in the way of Decoy, But she also didn't want to go to the ranch, so when Zorro returned, He might just have some trouble finding her. She wouldn't be where he left her. But she didn't care, He didn't want her protection. Though the Silent treatment might not last long, He certainly wouldn't get her protection back. That was for sure. She couldn't care less that he was a stallion, She did the same to Decoy, She did the same to her father before she left his herd. Unlike Decoy, She stayed with her father longer, Maria then left and found Decoy and stayed with Lori, Zach and Decoy. She never particularly like Zach incredibly much when she was there. As she moved with the fragile week old colt, She thought... Maybe she shouldn't have let Zorro cover her, maybe he was one of those stallions where he covers the mare, then if the mare does something the stallion doesn't like they're gone. She picked up a trot and moved towards the Forrest then down towards a few Ravines, of which she let the colt grab her tail and she went down first. She made it down and the colt followed silently as she moved quietly towards the ranches looking around and spotting the lady she stayed with for a while, her head tilted, the taste of apples seemed to form in her mouth and she kept walking towards Annabelle's place. Once there, She spotted the girl grooming one of the colts Maria bore, a few years back... one of which didn't die, She smiled and nickered and the girl greeted both mare and colt, Sorrow took a bit to get near, but seeing Maria was fine with it made him sigh and say hello as well. Maria then looked to the paddock she once grazed in, she flicked her ears as Anna went and unlocked the gate, The mare trotted in, colt at her side and she grazed silently. The gate was then shut but she didn't panic, she knew that when she wanted to leave, Anna would open the gate. Ears flicking she thought 'how would Zorro react to her being with humans?' She shrugged, not wanting to think about him for the moment, instead she nudged the colt and moved towards the apple tree which grew in the middle of the paddock. Her older colt was now in here and was playing with Rivas colt. Her ears flicked as she spotted a dark paint stallion. Her ears pinned lightly and she moved towards him. "Who are you? I don't think I ever saw you here before?" She frowned, the stallion was fixated on Riva's colt.
"What's His name mare?" The dark pain asked and waited Maria's Reply.
Maria frowned "He's not my colt... He.. was abandoned by a mare I know... His name is Breaking Sorrows.. What's it matter what his name is?" She asked with a frown.
"Was this mare by any chance a palomino, chestnut paint like the colt?" The brown paint asked still avoiging Maria's Question.
"Who are you?" Maria snapped wanting a reply.
"Tell me, is the mare the same colour as the colt?"
Maria glared "Yes... SHe looks like the colt, her name is-"
"Riva I take it?" He asked softly Watching.. Maria frowned and nodded, "I'm Sarge.. I'm the colts Father" he muttered with a displeased tone. "How is Riva, Last I sore she was skin and bones..."
Maria frowned watching. "I'm sorry... What? Your his father? Riva told us the stallion made her have the foal...? And Annabel wouldn't ever make a horse do that?"
Sarge shook his head "Annabel only recently rescued me.. Riva was a kind mare, I was her best friend for a year, That year she was taken away from that stallion she was with. One day She was tied up, and I had my saddle on and i was tied beside her, Once i was untied and unsaddled, They made me... Cover her, I was forced to do it... Two days i refused, and I was beaten, till I just gave in... I covered her, She lost all her trust in me because I did this, I told Her I wouldn't, that I'd rather die, But those men they don't just kill you, They beat you and they starve you.. They make you suffer slowly." He muttered "And From Riva's point of View, I did make her... But I never wanted to... Is she okay?"
Maria stood in shock and then woke up. "Rivas Fine.. I'm sure she'd love to see you again..." She said sarcastically. "She died..."
Sarge frowned "No She didn't?" He protested, not believing the mare.
Maria frowned, "No She did, She's okay now.. But she died.. She doesn't want to be alive, The stallion she was with makes her feel unwanted, She feels like she no longer belongs..." Maria told the stallion and turned around.
Sarge nodded "Hey, If you see her again.. Just let her know, I'm sorry... And that she's welcome to come here whenever she wants" he said then cantered off to his mare.
Maria nodded and walked off to the colts where she nickered gently.

Riva stood silently, listening to zorro she knew he'd pay for it. She shrugged and returned to grazing hearing hoof steps she smelt Decoy. Though she flicked an ear towards him, and she glanced at him, she kept grazing. Finally feeling rude, and she being one to dislike being rude looked up and looked at him. "I'm sorry I came back... I'm sorry I even came back to see you... I should have stayed where I was... I should have stayed on that ranch I escaped to see you before Image was born.. I shouldn't have come back... Maybe you would have been better... I only brought misery, I made Shy jelous, I almost died twice, once i did... I'm being mean, to not only you but Zorro too... And I shouldn't be.. I don't expect your forgiveness, I don't want it... I don't deserve anything, Not your care, your love, your compassion.... Any of it... God.... Image see's Shy more of her mother than me..." Riva said looking away.

Lakota whipped around and bolted after Shiloh smorting plafully

[dakotaawolven]

Decoy
I snort and stand completely still as Riva spoke. I shook my head as I stepped forward. "Riva, don't say that!" I tell her a little angrily. I keep walking toward her until I'm only a foal's length away. I stretched my nose out until I barely touched her. Then, I drew my head back. "Riva, I'm the one who should apologize. I shouldn't have gotten angry, Riva. I was just so confused, and really, really scared, I guess. Riva, I," I pause, not knowing what to say. I sigh softly and look away before looking back at her. "Riva, I love you. I do. But, losing you is hard. It's harder for me than anything I'v experienced. The only thing harder than losing you was losing Lori, Riva. Please, please come home. Even if Shy practically raised Image, she's still your daughter. She's our daughter. Please Riva. I love you. I can't lose you for good. It would kill me if you were gone forever," I step forward again and nudge her shoulder softly. i step back again, not sure how she'll respond. "Riva, you do deserve this. I promise you. You deserve this. But I don't deserve you. I don't deserve you, or Image, or any of this. I don't deserve you. But you deserve more than I can give you. I love you Riva. So does Image. Please, come back with me."

[beth.]

Riva looked at him silently before smiling sweetly, still unsure to what to say she made a small joke, something they used to do... "You practice that?" She nickered softly nosing his nose faintly but not stepping forwards, unsure what to do now she watched him before nuzzling him softly. "Count the stars tonight... That's how much I love you" she said gently, you can't count the stars, there are more than you can see, you'd lose count, you don't even see every star.

Decoy
I snort softly, laughing. "Nah, I didn't need to practice," I told her softly, nibbling her mane. "Come on, Image has herself locked in a stall and its snowing outside. Let's go back to our daughter, Riva," I nicker, nipping her playfully and bolting just out of reach. I smile and turn in a circle, waiting for my mate to join me.

Shiloh
I snort and nicker to Image again. "Image, come on. Decoy went to find your mother. At least you actually have your real parents. Mine are long gone," I say softly. I knew my Dam had died when I was born. I remembered wandering around helplessly until Maria found me. I remembered those things.

Decoy
I snort softly, laughing. "Nah, I didn't need to practice," I told her softly, nibbling her mane. "Come on, Image has herself locked in a stall and its snowing outside. Let's go back to our daughter, Riva," I nicker, nipping her playfully and bolting just out of reach. I smile and turn in a circle, waiting for my mate to join me.

Shiloh
I snort and nicker to Image again. "Image, come on. Decoy went to find your mother. At least you actually have your real parents. Mine are long gone," I say softly. I knew my Dam had died when I was born. I remembered wandering around helplessly until Maria found me. I remembered those things.

[beth.]

Image shook her head. "No, He went to find Riva.... My mother is already here... Shy is my mother... Atleast more of a mother than Riva ever was...." She snorted and looked away again "just leave me alone Shiloh" She grumbled softly.

Riva nodded, "Hey.. Where did Maria go?" She frowned softly, "You should Let zorro know she's not where he left her..." SHe said gently and pretending as though she wasn't going to get him back she walked then leaped sideways nipping his mane and then prancing off.

[dakotaawolven]

Shiloh
I snort and refuse to leave. "Image it is not Riva's fault she protected you. You should be happy you at least have both your real parents!!!" I let my ears go back a little, nickering harshly to Image. I kick at the stall door before trotting out to Shy. "Shy, Decoy went to find Riva, but I'm not sure it will go over well with Image," I snort softly, still frustrated and angry with Image. She had both her real parents and they loved her. I had two adoptive parents and my adoptive mother didn't care enough to come with her mate to see me. I shook my head and decided to trot off to find Maria. Where was she anyways? Did she think she could stop being my mother just because I sided with her brother? I shook my head and pushed myself into a hard gallop toward where I figured my mother would be. But, All I found was Decoy and Riva. I smiled softly and ducked my head as I slowed down, looking for Maria.

Decoy
I snort and laugh, whinnying happily as I nip her and race towards the ranch. I nicker to Shiloh as she gallops past looking frustrated. I look back at Riva, waiting for her to come after me.
