The stallion had slept most the morning, a good rest is what he needed, the afternoon skies smelt like rain though the sky was still blue, the palmino mare once at peace seeing her colt sleeping, she had paced to the creek not far, audits flicked as she drank from the river

Lip softly qivering, as he softly breathed as he laid on his side, grass dancing each time he breathed out, audits softly flicked as he was in a deep strance but soon, the thudding of ground shaking caused the stallion to awake, popping up quick to sit on his legs, hues wide as he turned around to see his mother drinking at the river, he sighed out and smiled before whipping his head around audits perking in shock as a hot tempered mare stood before him.

'great' was all he could think of, as his features soured at her yelling of words, audits pinned as he stood to his hooves, golden hues looking over the grey dam that looked like she had steam boiling off her coat and nothing but cold harsh hues daggered towards him. "I didn't do anything to her! She hurt her leg and when I tried to bring her home, she told me to leave! How is that my problem'' he huffed as he eyed her down.

Hearing all the bickering, the palomino dam turned her slender frame to see Dell's mother inraged at her son. Audits pinned as she trotted over ''That's enough of your nosense! Leave my son alone!'' her soft hues glared in a protective warning towards the other dam, her plumage rose and flicked high over her hantches. ''Where ever Dell is, it's her own fault, not my son'' she sternly corrected the grey dam

Though embarssingly the stallion felt himself wanting to sweat with his mother trying to defind his ''honor'' he simply rolled his orbs before planting them back at the grey dam.

The looked towards the two wanting to know where her filly was, and it was her darkest nightmare to loose another foal. The sky beamed down to her pelt, tears built up in her hues. Delta just doesnt not come home, she gives a warning or something he must of really hurt her. For he was the only one there and they only one who could of seen it all!

Ukai wanted her answers ans she wanted them now! As the breeze blew her mane tangling around her audits, she pinned them back in anger and a spoke to get the truth out of him she knows thats not the full story

' ' ' Dell doesnt just not come home... I want to know what you'd done to her.. And if she is still breathing along if she ever returns ' ' ' Ukai cut right in the middle of it, bursting out with sorrow and her tears leaving a mini flood to the grass. ' ' ' I want to know the the full story of what you did to her ' ' ' Her voice was come but very sad along with the tear sound as she spoke to the young stud wanting her foal to return safe and sound that was off the list for sure though..

The palomino mare's audits pinned more sorrowly for hearing the worry in Ukai's voice, she understood. She closed her hues softly and allowed herself to fade into the background as she stood by her son.

Comanche's audits watched the pain of the tears of the grey dam rolling down her face, his audits realxed as he let out a sigh, he wasn't fond of this mare but, it hurt him to see her so worried about her daughter, for he could only imagine what he own mother thought when he didn't return until the next morning as well, he left a lump in his throat as he tried to block out her harsh accuzations "Ukai.. I would never hurt Dell. I love her'' he sighed out, knowing she would never understand.. his black forelock danced over his frame as a breeze blew over their heads ''I know you have these...'' but he paused. There was no use arguing with his mare about how she should or shouldn't let Dell be, he bared his teeth in his closed muzzle before he sighed ''I heard her calling for me last time me and you exchanged some words... I ran for ever before I found her laying down in the dark red forest about 50 miles from here.'' his golden hues looked towards the dams hues ''I seen her bleeding, I think she hurt her leg or maybe her side, she was caked in mud. I approached her, I tried to give her a flower to help with healing but all she did was angrily snap at my face and told me to leave, that.... that she didn't love me anymore''

The stallion's hues watched the dams expression, as he softly reached his muzzle to hers to wipe a tear from her cheek ''I can take you to where I last saw her.... if you wish'' he nickered.

The black young mare was in fright for herself the wind had picked up a bit tracking mud from where she'd once laid. But there was nothing to help herself, she was open and without any defense she was mostly hopeless from her own count of skills. A proper mare is all she was taught not a way to life in the wild, though Delta didnt wanna become one of those stuck up mares she adventured free on her own. Perhaps thats how she won over the heart of the colt? But her pitty party was enough, her legs crumbled under herself as the last wishes from her mind were cleared and flushed down the drain where all of her other hopes and dreams had been placed. Ukai her mother killed all of them, dell wanted to be herself but likely like every other filly she'd know was ripped and placed the same way she was.

<br>

<br>

All dell could remember was being little and wanting to go and rough house with the other colts but to be such mare like it was unpropper for her to bite or kick, and manners always come first before defense. The other fillies would go and pick flowers and put it in each others hair, but when dell tried to fit in it was always a push back. While dell got hurt, the fillies made fun of her and called her names. For perhaps you've heard the story of black beauty? Its a classic to tell to your foals, anyways they'd twist around the story and call her " Black ugly " and it stuck to her. The young colts never even wanted to get such a near to her, they called her " Ugarella " after Cinderella of course who would one day turn into a beautiful little filly and went to a new herd and found her prince charming. The colts meant that as she'd never find a mate nor a stud even willing enough to have a foal of her own with her. But Comanche was the only one who ever cared to ever say " Hello " or to nuzzle the mare, but the most. To love.. Thats something she never had and never experience even from her own mother, perhaps thats why she she keeps pushing away Comanche, he's her knight not her prince charming. She didnt have to do anything or tweak anything for him to love her, he just does it. Though he's the popular stallion everybody wants a piece of and its likely he will move on soon, but the thought always counts..

<Br>

<br>

Ukai whined looking at the young colt, a feeling that he was pittying her in some sort of way but all she was wanting was her filly back, but as he spit that dirty word of " love " out of his mouth that got her a bit pissy and it burned into her features trying to make it seem it wasnt okay. But at the same time she wanted to sip her lip for that was the only way she could get to Delta .

The stallion had slowly moved his frame away from the upset dam, he himself was shocked she didn't strike out for him touching her coat, maybe she wasn't such a awful nag, he pondered. Audits perked as he almost regreted going back to where he last seen his sweet Dell... he only hoped this time she would listen. He sighed as his head turned to the right, seeing his mother who had nipped at his mane, her blue hues read worry and he knew what his mother was thinking, he nuzzled her and promised her not to worry this time.

Golden hues flicked back to the impaitent grey dam, ''let's go'' he snorted as he picked up a trot, his tail flagging behind him, for a moment they seemed to march in rythum, trying not to read to much into this, for he knew as soon as they reached Dell, he would get a mouth full from the dam, maybe even both of the mares. Rolling his hues, he almost tripped for he didn't see the hole in the feild ''Careful there's a hole'' he nickered as he tossed his head some to look at Ukai before planting his hues towards the woods in the far distance, it has been almost 2 days and the black filly had not come home, he hoped nothing happened to her... he felt a tight bubble in his throat at the thought before pinning his ears and telling himself not to even care after the heartbreak he just endured.

After 10 miles of them trotting away from the herd in the mist of the day, they both was tired, she kept asking about her filly and the more she got worried, the more Comanche got annoyed. ''Almost there'' he assured her sturnly before coming to a halt, standing tall, a gust of chill breeze pelted against them, audits perked as he closed his hues and took a deep breathe, flicking an audit, he turned his head and looked to Ukia ''Through the tree to the right, go about 20 steps till you see some golden flowers, she was there behind some bushes'' he nickered. He hesitated for a moment and paced a few steps towards the woods then choose maybe it be best he stay here, he looked to the grey dam once more and offered a small smile.

Ukai followed the stallion growing warm to him some, but she was still angry against him but is understanding his feelings for Dell help her understand why Dell acts the way she did, but the one thing Ukai could never figure out from the start was.

<br>

' ' ' Why do you care for Delta? She clearly doesnt have the same feelings for you. While.. I hate to say it but, there are many other mares you can sneak off with in the herd that are much prettier and much more of a respect. Great foals come from great mares. ' ' '<br>

She said not trying to say that Delta wasnt any of those things once so ever, though Ukai didnt think much of Dell. But if Comanche is to grow in a month or so, Kai will kick him out. Its just a matter of time, All dells life the light gray studied her foal from the time of birth till now, when shes out of her grasp. Delta was never popular and Comanche from the start was the crush of them all. Although Leva was very hesitant around, the stud watching his every move and making sure he didnt get to close to any filly. Then Comanche took over Dell and she left, and went off on her own.. Is that what Comanche could be using her Delta for? Trying to get away from Leva so he can pick up another mare on the way and dump poor dell? No.. They have been together long enough that Leva had left him, if so he would've done it by now. As they stopped so did her worrying.
<br>
As the stud spoke a few words, But stopping and smiling to her showed that he was unsure. It must of been a nasty fight, but if he claims to love her and still then he better show it.

She nipped at his face, smiling some as she got a good grab onto his mane, thick strands settled in her saliva and almost being cut off by her sharp yellow teeth, Pulling him out from some trees. Weaving around the trees, that stood in front of them.
<br>
Letting go of him, she smirked to him. Slapping him with her bleach white plumage, dragging against his side. Being a bit flirty? Perhaps. But still knowing her filly was lost in the deep forest her voice called out ' ' ' DELTA!! DELL!! ' ' '
<br>

Dell was turned around in the light mornings fog, birds chirping deep into the sky as the dew on the grass stands damped her lower leg, as well as the strands tangling around her lower legs and hoof. There was a chill in the air, and a the smell of flowers from a near by meadow, that sat right in the middle of the forest along with a pond and it was a nice day. But another struggle for Delta..

<br>
Delta was laying down on the heavy meadow where fresh and new grown grass stood. Nibbling on it some as the morning dawn glimmered on her muddy black pelt that was also drenched in blood that stained her forehead from when she fell down, along with her snake bit thats venom traveled without her body with out no knowing that she may survive it. She'd just be cleaning her wound when she heard her mother, it was clear as daylight and she sounded happy! Not upset, not mad but happy some what. All Delta needed now was help with her leg mostly, She had been a mile or two from Comanche and Ukai, but she didnt know it for the fog messed with her vision.
<br>

Reaching her long legs up, they ached trying to stand up the pain wiggled without her body, Telling her that she was weak and possible not going to make it, but it was worth the shot. And yelling back wasnt going to do much, other make her desperate, and what if they cant find her in the clearing? Or find the clearing at all? She needed to find them and if she broke down at least she would be at least one step closer so its easier for her to get help right off the bat. As she stood her weak legs wobbling down, she pushed off into a soft canter. Her gates where so smooth and graceful you would never guess that there had been any injury to her once so ever. She went and was pretty slow but as her mother kept cooing her name she followed it, and came close that it almost blew her ear drums out. Bursting through the thick forest trees and the sticks cutting her lower legs and blood leaving a clear trail from where she was laying to right where she was standing. She found the large bush where she was laying and lowered her head sticking it down and smelling it. But as a sight and a click of a hoof, wait no.. Hooves!! She tossed her head up and bounced over to the other side. But as she jumped she looked up and stopped dead, lifting her injured hoof up.
<br>
She looked dead clear of them both, she first looked to Comanche as tears drained from them, while he looked somewhat stressed to see her again, and her gray dam trotted right up and nuzzled her - ' ' ' Oh.. Delta are you alright? ' ' ' Ukai asked - Delta nodded rubbing her face onto her mums back before slowly limping over in front of Comanche. The trees blowing as she raised her muzzle to the stud trying to touch his, before ramming her body onto his chest. Her foot lifted as she whimpered and cried to him, just waiting for him to push her off for what she had said and done to Comanche, and did so poorly without saying shes sorry. Though how was Dell ever going to make it up to some great stallion like him? He's probably already moved on.. But just she can hope he still loves her

( Its so long.. Sorry lol )

haha that's quiet ok! Great Post! this is getting good! XD)

Golden hues softly blinked as Ukai spoke to him, resting a leg as they both paused just outside the woods, he sighed '' I care for her because she is different, she is beautiful and I just don't want to sneak off with mares for the reasons you think'' he found himself pinning his audits some yet he was confused, did Ukai not think her foal was beautiful? then again... she thought of Comanche not right for her dell, maybe she has other plans for her daughter but still.. he couldn't help how he felt.

The stallion had looked away for this wasn't the time to start another war with the grey dam, audit flicked as he turned his muzzle back towards Ukai to answer her but was caught short ''I d...'' before receiving a nip to his frame, raising a brow before feeling her latch on too his thick mane, he quickly stood tall and on all his hooves, clearly confused by what was going on as she pulled him towards the woods, looking down to eye the mare at his shoulder he then looked back towards the woods, as in rythum they weaved around trees before stoppping

Nostrils flared, as thoughts and questions swarmed his frame, he closed his hues and shook his large frame before his golden hues locked onto Ukai's orbs and caught her smirk, he felt his mouth drop some as his cheeks flushed a bit red, before he closed his frame clintch his teeth and gulped.

Forcing his hues away and into the morning of the woods, he felt himself starting to sweat, feeling the dams tail flick against his thick body almost flirtatiously his spine caught chills, orbs looked back to Ukai as his heart began to race, feeling the tingle sensation her plumage left behind made him shake his pelt as his mind was brought back to reality when the grey mare called out for her filly. 'what just happened' 'is this why the grey dam alwasy heated him?' 'she wants him to herself?' 'No, that's crazy to think' he pondered as he quietly followed the dam to where he last seen his sweet Dell.

Audits flicked as he and Ukai come to a pause, there she was, almost swallowed by the fog stood his sweet black coated dell, he took a slow breathe to prepare himself for some more harsh words, he closed his hues after seeing Ukai nuzzle Dell.

Golden hues shot open feeling Dell's muzzle glid across his, he peered down at her, audits perked before she threw herself into this chest, standing there as she clung to him, he couldn't help but forgive her. Hearing her cry almsot broke him, his golden hues peered over to Ukai before he lowered his frame over the black mare's neck holding her in a tight hug, forelock fell over his frame as he clsoed his eyes, just feeling her warmth, her scent as he whispered ''It's okay.. I'm here'' though he was there with his sweet Dell once more, the actions with Ukai still played heavy in his mind.

Delta | Mare | 3yrs | Mentions: Comanche, Ukai, Open

Ukai looked at the colt up and down, her pelt still a bit dirty from the night before, watching her filly and the stallion be reunited was strange that he'd just quickly forgive and sweep her right under his wing again and baby her. Though thats what he'd like then so be it, Ukai could be like that and better. Looking the stud up and down as his back was soaked with the tears of Dell she got a little jealous of the attention that was given to dell. And to be sly and sneaky she'd pace off in a slow walk, rubbing up against his side head on his rump while her plumage dipped around his lower leg tangling beneath him. As feelings for him began to develop, she was playing a mind game on his for a reason. But what could be that reason? Shes almost twice Comanches age but acting like they are the same.

Delta whined and cried her soul out, feeling terrible for what she'd have done to Comanche and all this just to be taken back again was amazing. ' ' ' Comanche.. I dont know what love is, so i cant say i love you. I dont understand why you love me, thats why i cant say i love you. I dont want you to hate me, thats why i say i love you ' ' ' She softly cooed, and it was true! In her earlier state meant she explained she was never raised with love so she didnt have the correct right to say she loved him for her words were louder then her actions so it was clear to her that maybe saying she loved him kept that feeling that he'd show her what it exactly means. But no she's still clueless even her heart is begging for help to need to know at this point.

Delta | Mare | 3yrs | Mentions: Comanche, Ukai, Open

Ukai looked up to the sky a bird sweeping over the clouds before landing flat on a branch clinging to it with it nasty claws, but as Comanches words stung to her audits she'd look to him. Perking her tail up in a high place trying to show off some, as he stopped keeping a steady trot and pacing in front of him, high black plumage dragging over his cheek bones, before stopping and looking back with a small giggle. Taking off to a canter with a little buck, audits sensing the river behind her as she made a smooth turn bouncing out into the water. Coat instantly damp to the touch hooves sinking down into the sand below.

' ' ' Come on Comanche! ' ' '

Delta nodded to a response of Comanche's words she understood some now, and could feel that way if she had too, or just now she felt her feelings for him. As the young handsome colt offered to stop dell dropped to the ground, wanting to rest some as her leg still bothered her a ton. Pelt getting stabbed by a stick that was under her rolling down, her legs out and her neck stretched as she reached up and gave the stallion a good lick to the muzzle as she rested her head to take a smooth nap.

She slowly sighed, as his towering body blocked the sun from her body feeling somewhat good as it was nice to be out of the sun for once and not have it beaming down onto you all the time like 24/7
