Jackson listened to her words and sighed softly. "Well.. That means we have to help you. We aren't letting you go in there alone." he told her.

Forest closed her eyes and then opened them again, falling quiet. Spartan stopped, knowing she had zoned out. He flicked his ears and stood there, chomping on his bit a bit and swishing his tail, trying to get her to snap back to reality. Forest felt the twitch of her stallions tail hit her face and she snapped back to life, shaking her head and clearing her throat "Let's just.. Keep going.." she muttered as she sped up to a canter, keeping her seat as they hurdled a log.

Jacksons eyes widened "Uh.." he muttered "Is there anyway around it?" he asked before the mare took off, jumping the jump, Jackson holding on for dear life before noticing he hadn't died and laughed "Yea!" he shouted excitedly.

As they ran, the sky grew dark and thunder rumbled. Spartans eyes widened as he sped up more. Forest shook her head "Whoa! It's okay Spartan! Easy!" she yelled to him over the pouring down rain as it started. The stallion ran through the bit, pulling his head forward and yanking the reins out of her hands. "Shit!" she yelled before trying to grab them and leaning to far forward. Her horses fur being way to slick for this kind of weather and her saddle sliding right out from under her and off of the stallions back. Forest then just used all the legs muscles and arms muscles she had to stay on the studs back.

Jackson noticed the saddle come off and his eyes widened "Holy shit!" he yelled before looking a Lillian and Matt "Someone get the saddle?" he asked.

Forest eventually managed to reach the reins and yank back, making the stallion come to a sliding stop in the newly formed mud. Her clothing soaked now. Both stallion and young woman breathing profusely as the girl hopped off and patted the stallion down, making sure he was okay. She had cuts and thorns everywhere from the thickets and branches but was okay other wise.

Lillian gave her a look, coming to a rugged halt. "I don't care if it's your mother that's in there. MY mother is in there as well and I don't care if you think that you need to do this alone. Because you sure as hell don't" She told her quite harshly.

Matt nodded, "I agree Forest. We are your friends and we are here to help keep you safe..." He murmured, loud enough for her to hear. Suddenly Matt just closed his mouth and didn't say another word.

Whisper followed Spartan in a cantar but not too closely. She kept her distance but was startled by the low rumble of thunder. Whining loudly to let Lillian know of the upcoming weather change.

Lili looked up at the sky as small water particles began to drop down onto the group. Suddenly Spartan took off. "Forest!" Lili yelled, dashing after her. Whisper hit full speed after Spartan, dust kicking up from under her feet.

Matt ran the best he could get his mare to, grabbing the saddle quickly before it hit the ground. He lay his hand gently on the mare's mane, rubbing gently.

Lillian reached for Forest's hand. "You good?" She asked her, curiously. Watching her resituate herself on the horse's back, she noticed all of the cuts and thorns.

Forest looked at the three as they came running up. She finally caught her breath and patted the stallions neck "You're okay boy.." she spoke softly to him before taking the saddle from Matt and nodding in thanks. She then walked back over to the stallion, somehow she had managed to keep the saddle pad on. Swinging the saddle back onto the stallion and tightening it. She sighed softly and then limped around the stallion once more, making sure he was okay once more. She swung back on with ease, wincing at pain slightly. She then sighed softly and clicked to Spartan "There's a small cabin just up ahead.. Theres only two beds.." she coughed a bit as they walked on. The thunder rumbling on and on. She patted Spartans neck to keep him sure footed and calm.

Jackson looked at Forest "You good?" He asked only to earn a nod in return. He just nodded once and kept walking onward, not getting close behind Spartan.

As they got to the cabin, there was a small shed with 4 stalls in it. "Put your horses in there." She spoke as she got off of Spartan and untacked him, walking into into a stall. Afterward she had found some horse feed in the back and put food in all of the horses buckets and then gave them a little bit of water. She then walked into the cabin and sighed softly.

She looked around, it was rather cozy to her, two cozy king sized beds, deer heads on every wall for decoration along with posters and pictures and paintings of western and hunter things. She walked in and over to the countrfied bathroom, look at herself in the mirror, she took her jacket and shirt off before just standing there in her bra in the mirror. Forest looked at the small cuts she had scatted, pulling out the thorns, small and sort of large.

Lillian checked up on Forest, checking over her body for any major injuries. She seemed to be okay other than her limp and the scratches from the thorns and sticks. Matt rode up beside her, giving her a look of reassurment.

Lili nodded slowly and rode up next to Jackson. She gently ran her fingers over his mare's neck. "She's gorgeous," She said softly, her own mare walking slowly like the others.

Matt trotted up to Spartan and Forest. "Are you okay?" He asked softly, looking over her. Her dark brown hair, tousled and messy. The cabin appearing up ahead. They approached and Matt hopped off of his mare. Both Lillian and Matt placed their horses in the stable and walked back out with the other two.

Lili walked past the others and into the cabin with Forest. She sat down with a soft plop onto one of the king-sized beds. She laid back and stared at the ceiling. Matt approached and sat down on the other bed. Lillian's eyes travelled over slowly to the other boy, a small smile played on her lips.

Jackson smiled at Lillian before walking over to her and ruffling her hair, chuckling. "What ya staring at me for?" He questions and chuckles. He then saw Forest come out of the bathroom and speak before just nodding at her. He watched th way she moved for a minute, seeing that she was bleeding through her shirt. "Forest. You're bleeding." He told her. The young woman looked as her side before covering the wound "Old wounds the thorns scratched open is all.." she told the trio before walking out to the couch and moving the table. I then fold it put and grab pillows and blankets for myself.

Jackson frowned "She seems to have a hard time trusting people.. But im sure she's been through some shit.." he tells the others before looking at Lillian "I'll sleep with you if you'd like." He says with a growing smile. He then looked at his brother "You should go see if she's okay.." he told his brother.

Lili giggled softly before turning over on her stomach as Jackson ruffled her hair. "No reason," She said softly. She then noticed Forest come out of the bathroom, along with the blood that had begun to bleed through her shirt. Lillian sat up on her butt to look at the three of them clearly.

Matt's eyes traveled over from where he was sitting to where Forest was standing. He looked her up and down, seeing the blood. He heard Jackson's words and nodded, standing up. His height giving him several inches on her own.

"Hey, how you feeling?" Matt wondered, sitting down at the table with her.

Lillian's eyes had traveled from Forest and Matt back over to Jackson. She laid her head gently down on his bowed legs after he had sat down. "I'd love that" She murmured softly, looking up into his forest green eyes.

Forest looked at Matt as he walked over before just nodding "Yeah.." she spoke softly before getting a bed read on the pull put couch "You can have the bed in there. Im fine with sleeping right here." She told him softly. Forest then put her pillows down and sat on the bed.

Matt gave her a soft look. "Forest.. no." He stood up. "You have the bed, get as comfortable as you need to be. I'll take the couch" He murmured, walking toward her, picking up the pillows she had sat down.

Lili smiled as he pulled her upward. She shifted slowly in his arms. Her lips curled upward into a smile. "I've missed you Jacks..." She murmured softly into the crook of his neck. Lillian gently wrapped her arms around him.

Forest looked at him "I'd rather sleep in a room with a thousand venomous snakes.. then in a room with two love birds.."she told him "So, ill take the floor then.." she told him before taking one pillow and putting it on the floor, sitting down and then laying her head on the pillow. She was stubborn, very stubborn. Forest wasn't one to budge easily. She then got up to grab a blanket.

Matt grumbled to himself. "Well, I guess if you are sleeping out here then I'm just going to come out here and sleep with you because I'm not leaving you alone out here all by yourself," He told her sternly, before sitting down beside her.

Lili snuggled closer, passed out. Her arms wrapped tightly around him, her head laying snuggly in the crook of his neck. She moved slowly, turning around so her back was facing him and so it looked like they were spooning. She sighed quietly letting his warmth consume her once more as she drifted back off to sleep.
