“I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me, it's all or none
There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening"
"''Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
She who dares to stand where I stood”

~xX Rai Xx~This lone mare was freezing, this lone mare had puckering wounds, this lone mare had no heart, and this lone mare wasn't alone. Rai stood hunched against pain and cold with her happy half sister, Vela, next to her. The fight they had just come out of had left one in a happy mood the other in a surly hissy fit. The one having the surly hissy fit was Rai. "Get away, Vela!" She snapped as the rabicano mare bumped her wounds. The pintaloosa snorted at her sister again before turning her rear to the wind. She had killed for what her third, fourth time? Fourth, but it made it no easier. Even if this death her hooves were bloodied with was only indirectly her fault. Rai had reared up and she had knocked the mare over with a face blow, she admitted that, but how was she to know the mare would die from falling? She didn't. Rai sighed and let out a lonely whinny before huddling closer to her half sister.

And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cause she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
She who dares to stand where I stood”
“See, I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside”
"And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do"

“Now what?
We're taking control
We do what we what
We do what you don't”
“It's time to lose your mind
And let the crazy out
(This place about to)
Tonight we're taking names
'Cause we don't mess around”

~xX Vela Xx~Vela ignored her glum half sister and pranced around. That had been a nice, clean little fight. Too bad Rai was only one who got to kill though, that was a pity. Yes a little blood on the hooves could get Vela quite pumped, until she felt the need to go and pick another fight. Then there was nothing but the need for blood. But why think of that now? Sure it was sorta a spilt as to who won seeing as Rai retreated and Vela and Reaper's fight ended neutrally. And the only death was on Parousia's side. The blood colored mare swung her tail as she thought and slowed her pace as she walked around Rai.

“Hot and dangerous
If you're one of us then roll with us
'Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
When we got our hot pants on and up”
“DJ turn it up
It's about damn time to live it up
I'm so sick of being so serious
It's makin' my brain delirious”

“I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right, don't need to look no further
This ain't lust, I know this is love
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?”

~xX Asha Xx~Asha quietly wandered into the clearing her father's herd hung out at. Already horses were coming back from the all out fight and it seemed that she and some of the younger horses were the only ones without wounds. She knew her brother was dying to get in on the action but was too much of a daddy's boy to disobey Reaper. She snorted quietly and looked back at the battlefield.
At least her mother had run when she did, otherwise she'd probably be dead by now. The near two year old filly shuddered when her mind's eye pulled up the picture of what cause her father's wrath. Asha's older half sister, Athena, laid dead at her mother's jagged hooves, Parousia crying out in rage.
"Murderer!" Asha squealed and shut her eyes, a lump rising in her throat. "Mother..." She whispered, unneeded tears trying to appear.
She wandered into the herd's ranks, staying away from her bachelor brother and his father's herd. Her uncle. She sighed and went to lay down beneath a pine.

“But if I tell the world, I'll never say enough
'Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do if I'd end up with you”
