Outlawed (Accepting)

[Mentally__Unstable]

Saya rides up to the castle and waits for the queen.

Emerald scowled and moved back towards her spot by the wall. "I will." she hissed and leaned against the wall. Within a few minutes she got that distant look in her eyes again and she looked like a fragment of her former self.

[sicksadworld.]

Frank chuckled and shook his head, pulling the blanket up over his shoulders and curling up like he usually did. He began to yawn quite loudly before slowly drifting off.
Diad nickered softly to Emerald, plodding over to her and placing his nose on her palm, his big brown eyes scanning her as he rested his leg.

Emerald hadn't noticed the large stallion walk over. She looked up and peered into his eyes, as if they held the answer to making the pain go away. With no luck, she looked straight ahead again, feeling the warm tears rush down her cheeks. She held in the sobs as she stroked the horse's thick fur. She felt as if her heart had been stomped on by the king's cavalry horses wearing their metal shoes. If there was one word to describe her now, it would be broken. Broken, but not giving up.

(( Bump... ))

[sicksadworld.]

Diad neighed softly and stood solid as Emerald stroked him, his lowered head wrapped round here as he nibbled slightly at the blanket, his tail swishing from side to side happily, he knew this girl was upset and tried his best to help her.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald looked back up at Diad through teary eyes as he neighed. She always felt as if horses knew her better than anybody ever could. It was that special 'girls and horses' thing. She wasn't sure what exactly it was about them. It might be the way their eyes melted her heart, or how their soft fur felt under her fingers. Or maybe the way they always seemed eager to please even if they were hurting. Maybe it was the grace and beauty in which they moved, the way the horse could give the best advice without even speaking a single word. They always held the answers, but whatever it was, it wasn't having much affect on her today. She stoked his neck and sighed, wiping away some tears only to have more come. "Have you ever lost anybody?" she whispered to Diad. "I don't think you have. And I envy you for that. Just be glad you haven't. It's the worst thing in the world. You do everything you can to protect them, but the most dangerous thing is the only thing you can't protect them from. It's them self, Diad. You can stop the arrows and the swords but you can't stop them. No matter how hard you try. And then you wonder why. Why did he kill himself? I know things were hard, but....but......" she sighed and started to cry harder. "I'm talking to a horse! I've lost Casper AND my mind!" she whisper shouted.

Finally making it to the tree Jay pulled both mounts to a stop. Jay let the reins slip from her grasp as she fell from the horse's back. Landing on her back her cloak fluttered around her and opened to reviel the knife hilt sticking out of her side. A large red stain had spread down her side as they were riding and now the snow around her was taking on the same color. Jay took some deep breaths and slowly she forced herself up and staggered towards the hideout. Swaying as she walked up the ramp Jay said in a hoarse whisper as she got to the top "Arowin." She looked around, and then finally completely exausted she collapsed. She kept one hand grasped fermly on the knifes bloodly hilt and she sat there concentrating on her breathing.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald looked up and wiped away her tears as she heard someone walk up the ramp. She couldn't be seen like this. The Hood needed her to be strong. When she saw Jay her eyes went wide. She scrambled to her feet and found her bag. She started to look for the needle and thread she carried, and when she did she rushed over to Jay. "What happened?" she asked as she looked over the wound.

[ET4252]

Jay looked up as Emerald came forward and asked her what was wrong. "Princey there decided to do something stupid." she answered with her usual humor. Looking down at the wound she wondered if Rebecca was watching the prince, cause there was no way she was going to. The knife was still stuck serculy in her side with her hand grasping it's hilt.
