"Really?! They never give up! C'mon! We gotta run!" I say as i nudge the newcomer infront of me. "move!" i looked behind me as i can see the clumsy humans trying to catch us. I smirk as I vreak into a strong canter.

Rocket flicked his ear at the sound of voices. Human voices. They were chasing something, most likely a WME, into the woods. "Now's my chance to have a little fun", Rocket grinned to himself. He took off at a controlled run in the general direction of the voices, and trailed the humans quietly from a distance.

Hana lifted her head. She thought she heard something out of the ordinary. "Stay here" she said, giving Lady a slightly firm look before standing up and heading out of the clearing and into the dense forest. She heard human voices and a few panicked whinnies. But she wasn't going to get up and run until she knew what was going on. She walked cautiously in the direction of the noise, careful to stay out of the way.

Lady rolled her eyes and huffed at Hana's comment. As soon as she was out of sight, Lady silently slipped into the woods, taking a wide arc to Hana's right and closer to the people. It was time to do something interesting. Wether Hana wanted it or not, Lady wasn't going to sit around and be an innocent child forever.

Mocha lifted her head and gazed over the fence. Out of nowhere, a paint WME went streaking out into the hills. "What was that?" Mocha stood up and trotted over to the edge of her fence and watched the mare disappear into the trees. A few minutes later a group of people headed out into the trees in a similar path. They must have been after her. "Why would you escape? It's scary out there" Mocha murmured to herself. But instead of heading back into her stall, Mocha stood at the edge of her fence and gazed out into the trees. She was curious.

Gale's ears perd up in a blur, was that? yes it was, humans on the chase for a poor equid. He left his trail on which he was running and spun right back around, friggin humans! why did they have to be so possessive? racing at almost break neck speed he blurred past the Mare who was once again pasing at her fence, he halted for a seconded and nodded to her before running after the humans mumbling and growling to himself. He ran past a stallion who was grinning quitely to himself and following the humans, but he payed the trouble maker no heed, his hooves pounded on the hard ground and he let out a long threating winny before throwing himself among the humans to destrack them from what seemed to be to mares running away from them. Gale dance out of the throng of horses to see what the humans would do next, go after their mares, or try for the wild handsome stallion.

Rocket stumbled as a grey WME stallion went thundering past him and out in to the middle of the humans. Playing hero he assumed. "He's going to get himself killed!" Rocket thought to himself. If the stallion needed help he would offer it, but until then, he would remain hidden. Rocket continued in the wake of the humans, deciding on how exactly to cause havoc without getting caught.

Peeking through the bushes, Hana could see men chasing two WMEs. Suddenly, a stallion thundered in and attempted to distract the humans. Brave but foolish. She followed carefully, making sure the humans didn't head back towards where she had left Lady.

Soon, Lady was right behind the humans. She noticed a few other WMEs had arrived and were attempting to help. She then spotted a young stallion who looked like he was enjoying himself, and attempted to make her way over to him.

Mocha's contemplation was disturbed by a wild WME stallion, who went rushing past her. She stumbled backwards in surprise and watch him head up into the forest. Okay, now she really wanted to see what was going on. But it was evening, and it was scary enough when it was bright out. Mocha stood at her fence's edge and stared into the trees. It would be easy to jump the fence and head out in to the hills.. but it was too risky. Mocha settled to watch the trees from here. Maybe she could see some of what happened?

I smile as I dodge quickly aroun a tree, causing the human closest behind me to collide face first into the tree. I let out a happy whinny and quickly rear as I feel a rope around my neck. I spin around while still rearing and dart back through the startled humans and see other equids. I wink at the closest stallion as I shake off the rope and charge at the nearest human.

"Wait! Nizhoni!" I pant lifting my head. "Their on horse back!" I pause a minute in my speech but my legs never stopped in their run for freedom. The sun had suddenly and un expectantly grown hotter and hotter. My legs wobbled and My neck just missed a rope as i pressed on. "Nizhoni! Their to fast!" I pant and my eyes droop with each blink "Too.. Too fasttt..."

[Caskett]

"Oh, okay, I'm glad you're not hurt." Forest twitched his ear and another leaf gently drifted to the ground. The collision didn't seem to have injured either of them, thankfully. At least they hadn't passed each other by-this WME sounded like he had been by himself for a long time. His excitement at seeing another Equid made Forest wonder why he had been on his own. Did he get kicked out, or simply decide to leave? What if he was some sort of bandit or escaped human's pet? Why was he on his own? Most Equids preferred not to travel alone, if it could be avoided. I won't tell him about the band I saw, yet the colt decided. Better to wait and see what he wants or if he reveals more about himself. "Yeah, I haven't got anybody to travel with either" Forest agreed, then added, "I just left my band a few days ago, but now I'm looking for water." Maybe Charlie had recently been to a water hole and could direct him there. Or, even better, they could go together. Safety in numbers was always a good rule to go by. And, with Charlie's tough looks, other stallions probably wouldn't bother them. It must have been nice to look so fearsome and battle-ready. All the mares probably followed an Equid like that around for days. Forest wondered if Charlie had any mares, or if he was just scouting ahead for them. "I'm really fine," he said, and smiled at the pinto's compliment. He had always assumed mares preferred a more flashy coat. "You look so fierce with the red and yellow on yours," he started, unsure about what to say. Equids didn't usually compliment him on his coat. "I wish I could stand out more... Hey, would you like to look for a watering hole with me? I haven't had a drink since last evening, and I'm super thirsty. Plus," he added, squinting across the valley in the direction of the sunrise, "the sun's coming up and it looks like it's going to warm up a little today."

[~Trompy]

I sighed, glad to know that Forest was okay. "Hehe, yeah. I've been on my own for a long time, so the company will be much appreciated." I pointed towards where I had came from with my tail. "There is a small stream over that way, I have been following it upstream for a couple of months now. There isn't much water in the stream thanks to the humans, but there is enough to go around. I'll spare you the details for now." My thoughts ran back to my mate, and I lightly shook my head trying not to think about it. I don't want to seem like a downer, I just really miss her... I'll tell Forest about her soon. He's probably out here looking for mares, and knowing that I had one might be against the purpose of his travels. "Come on, lets go get that drink! I could use one now too after that run!" I neighed in a laugh-like manner. As we started walking back towards my point of origin, I thought about how wonderful it was to talk to someone other than myself for once. This is going to be fun!

Gale knew he shouldn't be enjoying himself, toying with humans, but he was actually having a blast. Weaving in and out of their in sufficient horses, he made a giant ruckess, he saw the mares leading humans into trees and laughed, well wasn't this swell!? a rope almost caught his neck but he caught in his teeth instead and yanked it, pulling the man of his horse. He was in his own world of was before him, finally after concentrating, what his mother had told him long ago came back and his foot work picked up in qualty, he movements became more sharp and acurate. once he was satisfied that the humans were left in ruine's and chaos he sliped out of the pack of horses and bolted, his winny rang high in the air, filled with laughter and amusement, and then he dissapeared into the trees. Finally now that he was by himself he relaxed, but no for long, something he couldent sence had been driving him crazy of late, and he found himself pacing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, he didn't even notice that he was once again by that mare fence and was pacing the tree line.

"Great!" This day was just getting better. Water right around the corner and a companion to share it with. Forest ducked his speckled nose and followed Charlie deeper into the woods and away from the cliff edge. Now that it had warmed slightly, the rest of the mountain's inhabitants were beginning to creep out of their burrows and dens and shells and show themselves. Birds twittered in the branches above their heads and swooped from tree to tree. Grasshoppers and crickets sprung from the blades of grass the Equid's hooves disturbed as they walked, but few flies bothered their sides. Forest even spotted a mule deer and her doe trotting gracefully through the trees. He sighed. "Why do you think the humans would ever want to tear this down? It's so beautiful and quiet here. I don't think I would mind too much even if they, like, camped or visited here. But instead they ruin it for everyone. They're so selfish. Where will we all go when the trees are gone? How will we eat or sleep? I don't want to be a human's pet for the rest of my life. I'm too young to belong to someone else. I haven't even decided who I'm going to be. I don't want a human to decide for me." The thought of leaving this paradise was too much to bare. Equids had lived in the mountains for centuries; human's didn't have the rite to come in and force them out. Forest realized he might have overstepped, but it was too late. He wasn't sorry either, although that's what he said. "Sorry to rant. It's just, like, out home, ya know? But I think I see the stream over there.
