Chaos had started to slow with bolt, as sage had started to rein him in once the other stallion stopped showing much interest in running so fast. Chaos snorted and shield away too, at something in the trees, so his ears swiveled in that direction as his nose twitched. What was it?

Chloe noticed bolt wouldn't be stopping any time soon so she had to abandon ship. She jumped of and did a roll before hopping back to her feet. She wasn't even hurt. That was a first. She watched as bolt galloped off. Grace wouldn't be happy if she didn't return with bolt.

Sage grunted when bolt ran off. He made sure the girl has stood up and was alright before turning chaos around and chasing the other stallion. Chaos caught him easily, his powerful strides eating up the ground easily. He grabbed the horses bridle and slowed him down, bringing him back to the girl, still trying to figure out what was in the woods. "Did you see what that was," he asked. "I couldn't sme...see it," he told her, hoping she hadn't noticed his slip up.

Chloe took bolt from the boy. "Not really. All I noticed was a black furry looking thing with bright yellowish eyes." She replied as she vaulted back on to bolt. The stallion pranced around a bit.

Sage frowned slightly and sighed. "If it's another wolf, I'm going to say you have a problem with them," he told her. "I'd horse someone to like..catch and relocate them And do something to keep them out of here."

she then looked at the boy. "heres the thing the only wolves we have around here have a grey pelt and soft grey eyes. not black pelts or glowing ember eyes." she said " plus they've never been a problem before" she had bolt stand still before patting his sweaty neck

Sage frowned slightly and then looked back at the trees. "then what could it be? A bear? Coyote?" This was concerning, especially since werewolves were known for that eye color. And if people got suspicious, or there was a violent one nearby...he was in big trouble.

she looked at him confused. " we don't have bears. only wolves." she said calmly " i don't think i've ever told you my name" bolt pawed at the ground as he saw the glowing ember eyes again

Sage frowned slightly and then hummed, looking back at the eyes. Then he looked back at the girl and shrugged. "Well, all the grooms know who you are," he chuckled. "But I'm sage," he offered

Chloe looked into the forest. "Oh, well im Chloe" she said softly. She hated when the older grooms talked about her it made her uncomfortable.
