Mystery raised her head to see West, Dixie... and two new horses? She looked at the white mare, the mare looked so familiar... Mystery knew this mare, but couldn't remember her name so Mystery paniced, turned away and grazed to blend in with the herd

West looked at Dixie, then the white mare, then the foal. "Well I'm glad you are together again." He finally decided on saying, shifting his weight to the leg that wasn't injured

Macy lifted her head over Dixie's back. -Mystery?- Macy thought as she studied the mare. Dixie turned her head to Macy. "you good?" she asked her. Scarlet followed her mothers eyes to Mystery. Scarlet gathered her muscles and bounded to the mare. "you were in our old herd, weren't you?" she asked

West looked sideways. Wait, they were talking about Mystery? He guessed that was bound to happen... West's herd was a herd of outcasts, pretty much. He took in the mares that got kicked out.. or decided to leave. It was certain he would get a few or the same herd...

Dixie stood as Macy pulled her head off of Dixie's back to graze

West checked one more time to make sure everyone was okay, then leaned down and took a bite of grass, chewing thoughtfully

Mystery looked down at Scarlet "I was... Your mother and i were born and raised in the same herd.. But when i was only three thats when i was stolen from the herd by... Him.. A couple years go by and i see her again.. But not how i hoped, the stallion who took me took her.. We planned to escape, i got out, i thought she did too.. Though Macy.." Mystery looked at her old friend "I havn't seen you in years.. And those wounds tell me... You didnt get away... Im so sorry" tears went down Mystery's face as she said this

Dixie eyed him. "if you had to choose a lead mare right now with any of the mares in the herd, which would you choose?" she loved asking those kinds of questions but she never did anymore cause no one would listen

West glanced at Dixie. He cleared his throat. "I would love to answer your insanely hard questions... but I cannot, because it would possibly make some mares feel bad... some mares might start resenting me... and overall the moral of the whole herd would fall apart." West put it very carefully, trying not to offend Dixie

"oh... ok" Dixie gave a weak smile. Dixie turned to Mystery. "how is it that i don't remember you then? were you guys friends before i was born?" Macy looked at her old friend. she walked over and nuzzled her
