"Raptor!" She screamed as she ran to him. She slid to a stop, falling down near him. She quickly stood up, and nudged him with her nose. Get up, get up, get up! The mare thought to her self. She whinnied loudly and pawed the ground, hopping someone would hear her and come. The sent of the wolves, and death lingered all around them. Along with the sent of blood and sweat.

Blaze whinnied loudly again "Someone! Help!" She cried out as she paced back and forth. Oh why?! Why did I run off?! This is all my fault!! She thought as she nudged Raptor with her nose again.

Raptor kept feeling very ... extremely harsh nudging and he opened his eyes groggily. "I'm awake stop poking me." He muttered lowly, dropping his head back down to rest his neck. His wounds hurt terribly but he just felt bad for blacking out. "I'm fine.." he murmured, his voice getting stronger by the second. He lifted his head, and, when his vision didn't blur, he heaved himself to his feet. He felt very dizzy for a second, his vision swimming. Then it went clear and he stood Stable.

"Oh thank god your okay!" Blaze cried out when she saw Raptor stand up. "I'm sorry that I ran off." The young mare mumbled.

(sorry so short)

(

Perfectly fine)

The stallion raised his head to look st her. "No I'm sorry, it's my fault you ran off. I guess we are even now." He laughed weakly, which quickly turned into a cough. He had JUST started healing from the gun incident, and now this. He shook his head to clear the cloud from his eyes

"How's your shoulder?"

"Obviously not very good." He SS dryly, shaking his head again. His vision kept going dark, and he saw stars instead of Blaze, or the Sky... or the ground. Raptor stomped a back foot, unhappy with his condition. He HATED being even the TINIEST disabled, but now he was like a guy that's returned from the army missing all four limbs! Raptor started limping back towards the herd, determined to get better. The wolf bites weren't too terribly bad, and the shot had BEGUN to heal so he might be okay

"I'm sorry." She put her head down and followed him. It's my fault he is hurt... She mumbled to herself.

"Don't apologize." Raptor sighed. "I shouldn't have pushed you. Also, don't worry. I'll get better." He said with a weak smile, laying down when he got back to the herd.

The next day Raptor woke up feeling much better, almost brand new. He stood, looking around to see if he could spot Blaze

The next morning, Blaze was standing by the river edge. The young mare took a long drink of the cool, slow moving water before walking back to the mares.
-

Once she reached the others, she whinnied aloud, calling them to attention.

"Today, we will make the journey home. If you want to go to your herd, Fine, do so. If you want to stay with Raptor" She nods to the stallion "Then do so. If you have a problem with anyone, report to Me, or Raptor"

Raptor took a deep breath and stood up straight. He wasn't going to be weak, knowing that at least one of these mares would follow him... or he would follow them. He glanced at Blaze. She looked so... independent. He gave a small chuckle, surveying the herd before walking over to a big sunbathed rock so he could look out over the plain. He knew which way his territory was... so he started walking. He didn't care who followed... he just wanted to get home.
