*New character*

Mystery followed West and Dixie quietly, when they reached the other end of the forest she stopped next to Dixie. Her heart stopped for a minute as she saw Angel with.. Flame "Oh no" she said to herself. Then West got her over, when Angel stood next to her Mystery used her muzzle to scan Angel to see if she was injured yet "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" She asked with a worried face as she tried to stay hidden behind West so Flame hopefully didn't see her

Angel nuzzled mystery back "no I'm fine. He didn't touch me" she said looking back at flame from behind west.

Mystery smiled gratefully when Angel said she was okay "Okay good" She looked Angel over once more before looking back at the two stallions "West, would you like me to take Angel and Dixie back to the herd?" She asked quietly so hopefully Flame wouldn't notice

Dixie kicked Flame in the chest "don't ever touch her again" she turned and flicked her tail. Flame watched her. "You're still mine" he said quietly. Dixie turned towards him and pinned her ears "never." Flame tilted his head to the side "remember. You are still my lead mare" Dixie winced and shook her head -West can't know about this...- Flame stepped toward her and she stepped away, bumping into West. "Help..." she whispered quietly to West

Scarlet tossed her head then slid to a stop at the finish line. She lowered her head "yeah! I can be fast, but I can also be faster!" She turned and galloped back towards the starting line, throwing her head, her mane and tail flying.

West stood in front of Angel and Mystery, tensing as Dixie sprang forward to kick the stallion. At Flame's words a disgusted look came upon his face, which quickly turned to a cold anger that blazed in his eyes. West took a few steps forward till he was face to face with Flame. He was definitely the bigger of the two, and he looked a little bit angrier as well. "You get your nose out of my herd or I will have to beat it back, understand? Dixie is NO ONES, none of these mares are owned by anybody. They aren't an article to be thrown around." West snapped, his ears pinned

Dixie stepped back and huddled against Mystery

-

Flame snorted "like anyone could be free. Any horse who was once mine is mine forever, right my sweet lead? Right Mystery?" He rolled his brown eyes "that mare is fat too" he nodded towards Mystery

West lifted his head, his expression steely and cold. "Alright Mr. King of the World. I am sorry to splash water on your fire, but you don't own the grasslands. Neither do you own any mares. Have fun being an idiot in your own way, but do it without involving the mares I take care of. Not thank you, and have a terrible day." West snarled, turning and walking off in the other direction. "I think I'll just go relax in my own land, with mares that CHOOSE to be there." He muttered just loud enough for Flame to hear, stalking off through the bushes.

Cannon let out a squeak as Scarlet took off. "Hey!" He complained, rushing off after her. It was too late, though, and she crossed the line well ahead of him. "Yeah- you can be faster." He panted, flicking his black tail to swish off a pesky fly.

Rebel ran from the terrifiying storm, his spindly legs carrying him far from it. When he had clamed down, he slowed to a trot, then a walk. Breathing heavily, Rebel stopped. What was that? Was it another storm? No... This sounded like other horses. Rebel topped a rise and quickly ducked back down, for there were eabout twenty horses maybe two hundred feet away. Rebel slowly peeked over the crest of the hill and scanned the horses for... Rebel didn't even want to think about that at the moment. But he couldn't get it out of his head! There had to be a horse similar to him somewhere, right?
