I recieve an urgent call from an anonymous person about an abandon/abused horse stuck in what seems to be a jumble of wood and wire. I groan since I am not feeling the best, probably have a touch of a cold, and start off. I follow the directions and drive for about half an hour before I finally turn down the property with the correct address. I do not immediately see the horse, so I get out and start looking around. I am just looking through some scattered bolts and things when I smell a stench, that of something very unclean and possibly rotting. I follow the rancid odor until it suddenly stops. I look around me and see the horse, a mare. She was in quite a mess, fencing wrapped on her leg and flys already tearing at her slowly. I walk over as slowly as I can manage and get close enough to shoo the flies away, however, I hold back. I look down at the starving animal and speak "Hey girl, how'd you get yourself in such a mess? I think I can help you, but I am going to need your trust. Can I just shoo these flies away for a start?" I know I am talking to a horse but it seems right.

Star snorted, ears pinned against her skull. She lunged, well really raised her head and pushed it out in that direction, snapping at the girl. Kicking out with her free back leg she tried to stand, her hooves sliding in all directions on the muddy ground. Her free back leg got caught in a piece of wire, her front knees slammed into the ground when she fell. Back on her side she tried again but now with both back legs entangled to some extent in the wire the results were the same, her energy was gone. Laying on the ground with her throat dry she could only pin her ears and watch the girl.

Hey, so since the humans can't understand that the mare's name is Athena, could I maybe have Emilee call her that, not knowing it is actually her name?)
Emilee
I smile softly and stroke her neck instead. Then, I go back toher belly. I was right. She's pregnant. I smile softly and give her the last treat. "Sweetheart, I won't hurt the baby. I promise. I just wanna help. Will you come back to the ranch with me? There's more treats there," I smile softly and look around. The ranch wasn't too far, but it might be too much for her. I think about it for a few moments before deciding to let the mare choose.

{{haha yah that's what I do in horse RPs is pretend like I named them that. XD}}

Athena listens to Emilee's soft voice. She takes the last treat Emilee has and savors it, eating it slowly, wondering if it would be her last. She heres the lady say, Come home with me. She perks her head up and slowly starts walking. Ready and willing to go anywhere that her baby would be safe. Athena nickers for the women to follow.

Emilee
I smile and walk beside the mare, one hand on her neck at all times. I did this so she could tell when I was turning or slowing down, for I hadn't brought a halter or rope. So, I just used my hand. When we got back to the ranch, I ignored everything else going on and led the mare slowly into the barn. Then, led her into a warm, freshly bedded stall. I waited to see if she would come in to it. The straw was warm and dry and perfect for her. "I think I'll call you Athena, beautiful girl. It fits you," I say softly.

[A N C H O R L E S S]

Athena walked into the stall, feeling a little nervous as to why she was being put into a small space. But it made her feel safe as well, Knowing nothing could hurt her. She walked in, laying down as soon as she got all four hooves in the stall door. She gave a large sigh of relief to finally get off her feet.

Emilee
I left the stall only for a moment. I returned with a bucket of grain and a flake of hay. Setting both near her, I sat on the straw beside her and gave her one more treat. She was thin and needed the food I set out for her. I would give her more later, but she needed to eat slowly so she wouldn't colic.

Cody was still sitting on the step. His flashbacks were getting worse now, and he was going into a panic attack. Nothing like this has happened for years. He clenched his teeth ad shut his eyes, curling himself up and grabbing his hair with his clenched fists.

Emilee
I heard something and stood up. I stepped out of the stall and promised the mare I would return. I looked over and saw Cody. "Cody! Oh my god!" I say it quieter than I thought I was going to. But, I bolt over to him. I sit down on the step and wrap my arms around him. I gentle pry his hands from his hair and hold them in my own. I have my arms wrapped around him and his hands in mine. "Shhhh, calm down. Calm down, Cody, its okay. Its okay. Shhhhh," I whisper to him as if I were talking to a frightened horse. I keep my arms wrapped around him tightly. I had an idea of what was happening, for it had happened to me several times after my parents' death. I had woken up from nightmares and onetime I almost killed myself. I hold onto Cody in hopes it might calm him a bit.

[ryukrem]

Cody's rapid breathing started to slow. Tears were pouring down his face. Usually he would just brush it off if he saw someone he liked come over, but this was different. His heart was beating a mile a minute, but not in a good way for a change. He started shaking now, the panic attack at full force.

Emilee
I sigh softly and pull him closer to me. "Hey, its okay. Cody, do you hear me? Its Emilee. Its okay. I'm right here. Shhhhh," I hold him tightly to me and whisper. I take one of my hands off his and run it over his hair softly. I did this a few more times and held him tightly, hoping he would calm down.
