Andre looked up at her with a raised eyebrow but nodded "yeah that would be great" he said holding out his hand so she could help pull him up,he didn't trust his leg to support him at the moment "wait where'd you put Brea!?" A panicked look fell over his face

Fay took his hand gently and carefully helped him up, "I had to get you to the hospital on Double so the last place i remember her being was in the parking lot" She replied then remembered it was suppose to be a cold night. She felt bad for Double having to be out in the cold and panicked a bit not knowing if Brea had frozen to death . Brea curled her limbs up to her body to get a bit of warmth, She rested her head over her front legs as she watched her breath have a smokey affect in the cold air. It tickled her back as bits of snow began to fall, She cursed the stable hand and wished she had her blanket and Andre.

Andre swore loudly practically running out the door,his leg hurt like hell but it had started snowing,the only thing in his mind at that moment was getting to Brea,so he ran past Double and kept going trying to reach the stables . Double whinnied seeing a human hoping it was Fay,but it wasn't and he hung his head begining to shiver badly from the icy fragments that now dotted his coat,mane and tail

Fay followed, But she ran up to Double and quickly got him out of the pen. "Come on we have to help Andre" She said feeling bad that she'd left Brea out there, She swung herself on his back and hoped him moving would raise his temperature. She wanted to get Double in the warm barn as soon as possible . Brea felt her legs numbing and let out a nicker for Andre, She missed him and thought this was her fault he got injured maybe he left her because of it. After crying out a few times she kept her mind set on getting warm and kept her head curled up near her body, The snow was gradually getting heavier.

Andre kept running,picking up his speed the closer he got,he hoped Brea was okay or that one of the stable hands at least had the common sense to put her in a barn or stall,he stumbled a few times in the snow but didn't stop or slow 'till he reached the gate after another fifteen minutes "Brea?" he whistled for her trying to find the pasture or,hopefully,barn she was in . Double backed up slightly,tossing his head before he sprang forward,knowing that trying to run through snow was stupid he jumped again,bounding through it to where the snow wasn't so thick and he just had to pick up his hooves and extend his strides more,the cold made this painful but Fay hadn't told him to stop so he wouldn't

Fay urged him to keep going, The faster they went the quicker they could get him to the warm barn. She could see the ranch up ahead and spotted Andre at the gate and asked Double to slow down since the barn was near and the paths in the ranch had been cleared of snow, "Good boy" She said as she gave him a pat. . Brea looked up when she heard Andre, She let out a weak nicker. Her coat looked like it was completely white but it was the bits of snow covering her cold body. Bits of frost had formed over her face which was painfully cold

Andre ran over to Brea,jumping the fence to get to her,he kneeled in front of the mare and carefully tried to remove the ice particles from her nose and around her eyes "C'mon you have to get up" he whispered using his hands,which were now pink from the frigid weather,to brush away a much snow as he could from her flanks and hind quarters before standing back so she could move . Double made his way onto the paths and snorted turning his ears to her when she spoke as if he understood,there was one thing he did know though,the barn was warm,so he started walking towards it

Fay lead him to the barn and opened up his stall for him, "There you go bud" She said in a soft tone. She made sure the water in his stall was warm and that the heaters were on, She gave him some oats then rushed out to see if Andre needed help. . Brea struggled around as she tried to stretch out her stone cold front legs, She huffed as she tried over and over to get up but her legs were that numb she couldn't feel them. Her chest sounded wheezy with each breath, After a minute or two she managed to get up and swayed a bit but got her balance.

Andre hated seeing her like this,and for him being upset meant being mad so right now he was furious and would probably direct it at a stable hand later when Amber was taken care of,when Andre was mad he didn't yell,he spoke very quietly and it creeped a lot of people out but that wasn't what mattered at the moment,he took the mare's mane in his hand standing close to her side for some sort of support and started towards the closest barn . Double nudged Fay before going to his oats,munching away happily before laying down to warm himself up
