Ranger lifted his head with a relieved expression. "Your herd needs you... but with them. Let's go." He said quietly, growing antsy as all the humans started tacking up their horses. He trotted away silently, flicking his silver tail and stopping before turning to wait for Angel

Angel looked at the humans tacking up and cantered up to ranger "we need to loose them before we get to the herd" angel said before cantering in the opposite direction to the herd.

Ranger nodded, cantering fter her. He lengthened his canter so he was speeding across the ground, but his hoofbeats were still quiet. Ranger's silver mane and tail flew out behind him as he ran, his hooves flashing forward. He went into a small woods and slowed a little, coming out the other side and looping back around. Ranger went through a couple more patches of forests, waded through streams and skirted around lakes before going towards the herd again.

Mini sighed and pulled herself up off the ground. She swished her tail and sighed again. She walked in the opposite direction that Grayson had come and left. She stopped and looked back at the opening, part of her hoping that Grayson would walk out of the woods. She shook her head. She wasn't happy there and she knew she would have to find somewhere else to be. She started in the direction that the herd was in when she heard hoofbeats. Mini froze and scanned the area. "Whose there?" She asked. She had to be close to the herd by now

Ranger slowed as they got closer to the herd, stopping when he saw Mini. "Just me and Angel." He said quietly, glancing back every once in a while as if looking for something. He really hoped the humans didn't track them

Mini nodded slowly and let out a breath she hadn't noticed she was holding. "Ok. Mind if I follow y'all back to the herd? I... wandered... and got lost." She tossed her frosted black mane from one side of her neck to the other, her coat giving a slight shimmer in the patch of sun

|
Ranger tilted hios head slightly, not fully believing Mini but nodding anyway. "Sure." He answered cheerily, springing back into a trot, his silver mane and tail fluttering out behind him as he moved
|

Mini followed him with a sad expression on her face. Her eyes darted from side to side. She didn't want Grayson to be following them or Fiona be following her younger sister to a strange herd. -I never should have gone back...- she thought as she followed the stallion

|
Ranger got back to the herd and slowed to a walk, glancing at Mini and seeing a sad expression on her face. He tilted his head slightly before looking at the herd, flicking his long tail.
|
| |
|
|
|
Mini lowered her head, deep in thought. She lifted her head when they got to the herd and she trotted past Ranger for a few steps, looking back at him and tossing her head, almost daring him to follow her. She didn't care if she looked like a weirdo as she jumped into a gallop towards the stream. She slid to a stop and looked down at the water
