Ace of Spades
Spade watched, a little anxiously, as Hicktown seemed to stand still for a moment, watching the cave. He began to wonder if he should offer to go up again, when suddenly she spoke. Spade would have argued, but the words were accompanied with eyes, silently begging in their own sockets. Spade paused, thinking her words over.
It was very much against a stallion's instincts to run, so much so that he felt his entire body get pulled to the place in between Hicktown and the possible danger, and he probably would have, if they weren't on a mountain. Rash movements could mean the death of both of them. So Spade told himself not to be stupid. Of course he would have to run if danger came. He couldn't block Hicktown's escape path, so he had to move. But what if she was meaning to stand her ground?
Her next words quickly relaxed him, and finally, he shook his head. "I'll wait here. If anything happens, you run down. I'll be right behind you." He wouldn't budge on that.
