Crackle stood in a corner of the Stallion den. His head was low and his eyes on the ground. He was hiding in the shadows as usual, the white part of his coat giving him away and it wasn't the first time he wished he could be invisible to everyone. The only reason he was in this herd was cause he knew they very rarely ever saw the likes of Jackal. He missed his first herd but he felt safer here then he did in his own herd. He was afraid to move, scared that some one would notice him. His ears were pinned and he looked as if he might attack if you came to close to him. He was hopping that would keep others away from him.

BUzz walked lazily back into the stallion's den. He was a little worried for Rain and the new guy, but something told them they were alright, even if they were taking forever. He looked around the stallion's den. IT looked empty at first, but then he saw a patch of white. It was only on a part of the horse's coat, and so Buzz figured it was Crackle. When no mares were around, he was usually kind of nice. "Why are you so scared around everything?" Buzz asked, just a little annoyed. Crackle was in the corner of the stallion den, with his head hung low. Buzz could just make it out now that his eyes had somewhat adjusted to the dark of the den. IT didn't bother Buzz that he looked like he may attack. Buzz was in charge of the herd as of right no, and that gave him even more advantage if things came to fighting.

Crackle jumped when he heard some one speak to him. He whipped his head up and pinned his ears thightly into his neck. He swished his tail more out of habit then anger. He looked over the other stallion, he wished he could just be left alone. "Cuase I am. It something tends to happen when you run into Jackal when your only a yearling!" He snapped, he may have been a coward some times but when you got hin started on Jackal he was almost hostile. He still had the scars all over his body from when Jackal attacked him. Crackle was short but thick and almost looked like a small draft horse. He had a lot of power behind him, he just didn't use it, except for when he wanted to run away from something. He was only about 14.2 hands and this made him feel weaker cause Jackal was so big.

Buzz snorted, unfazed by Crackle's rude words. He snorted again, this tine out of amusement. "Oh. Your the special yearling. Rain had to go help look for you. Even though she wasn't even leader then," Buzz shrugged. Rain had only been leader for a few months, but before that she had always been the most trusted horse in the herd of the previous owner. Truthfully, Crackle had so many scars that Buzz kind of thought he was some kind of strange brindle color. It was really that bad.

Cracle snorted. "Theres nothing special about being mutalated by a stallion that thinks it funny!" He snapped, at least the scars under the black weren't as easy to see as the ones on the white. "Lifes unfair I learned to deal with it the day I ran from my herd. I hatted to pity I saw in every ones eyes so as soon as I could I ran. I tried to get away from this place all together but couldn't" he said a quiet voice. He was now two hand half years old, it had been a year and a hallf since Jackal attacked him. Crackle was braver with this herd then he was with his first herd. He pushed out his chest and held his head high, he hatted what Jackal had made him look like but he still had a sherd of pride in him that came out every once in a while.

Buzz swished his tail and pinned his ears back. "Whatever. I didn't mean special like that. I don't want so sob story now," Buzz snapped at Crackle. (haha short. )

Crackle snorted and whipped his head. "I don't care. I hate that word when it has anything to do with me! And I don't do sob stories" He hissed threw his teeth. "I stopped caring about the past years ago! But you don't forget your first home easily" He said under his breath. He felt numb when he remebered it wasn't only his first home it was his family. Hed always wanted to be like Culver big and powerful, a protecter. Now he spooked at his own shadow some times.

Buzz threw his head and ignored Crackle. He made his way to the exit of the den but stopped in the middle of it. He only kind of cared for the stallion. All the scras that he thought were markings. Ouch. "Well, if something's ever bothering you or you want help with anything, come fetch me. I'm not all mean," Buzz said with a little sarcasm in his voice at the last part. He trotted out of the cave a little and looked around. Everything seemed pretty okay. He had heard there was a cougar on the loose, so he was just a little on edge.

Crackle looked at the ground. He had to smile slightly at the sarcasm in Buzz's voice. He actually liked Buzz he was the only one who didn't give him any pity. He nodded to Buzz before he went outside the den. A calmness washed over Crackle when he was alone again. He felt his stomach growl and he realized he hadn't eaten all day. He made his way out of the den and flicked his ears every way and then sniffed nothing but his own herd was in rang. From being so alert so much he had better hearing and sense of smell. He walked into grass still edgy, he noticed Buzz and could resist just a little remark. He may be jumpy but he was still a colt. "Ya don't have to worry theres nothing around but the herd, I'd know if anything else was close." He said with a slight smirk. He dropped his head and started grazing.

Buzz narrowed his eyes and flicked his ears at Crackle's remark. "But there is something bothering the other herds. I can tell," he said swishinghis tail. He also dropped his head to graze, eying Crackle cautiously and curiously for a while. He heard a loud whinny and looked up, but pinned his ears back when he realized it was just a young foal. "Don't do that right now," he said scornfully, yet still gentle. The foal lowered it's head and trotted away.

Crackle ignored Buzz for the most part. "Whatever it is its not around here. Nothing but the herd for a few yards" he mumered to himself mostly. He jumped at the foal whinny, but as soon as he knew it was foal he smiled to himself. Crackle preferred the foals anytime, they just seemed simpler then the older horses. He was a great babysitter and foals liked him.

Buzz shrugged and took his eyes off of Crackle for a second, but lifted his head back up in time to see Crackle smile at the foal. He thought for a moment. "Do you like to watch foals?" he asked. He would have to talk to Rain, but he figured that Crackle would be a great foalsitter. Atleast he didn't seem so jumpy and rude around the foals. Buzz swished his tail and snorted when he suddenly remembered Rain was with Star. Atleast Rain still trusted Buzz to watch over the herd, but he would rather be flirting with her then letting the new stallion.

Crackle flipped his forelock out of his face and looked to Buzz. "Yeah guess you could say that." He said with a horse kinda shrug. He watched Buzz for moment. "Whats with you all the sudden?" He asked it was pretty clear to him that Buzz was suddenly a little ticked off about something. When you live in the shadows you learn to know every ones moods by the way they behave.

Buzz snorted and nodded, still ticked off. "Hah, nothing really," Buzz said, but he was obviously lying. He didn't really like Rain, it was like Buzz felt he was lead stallion, even though he SO wasn't. He felt like all the mares belonged to him, he got ticked when a mare in the herd found a mate. He was worried Rain would too. The only mare Buzz really had feelings for was Cloud.

Crackle shook his head. He could tell by the tone of Buzz's voice that he was lying. And cause Crackle was still a colt it still had a mouth to him. "Lair" he said like it was nothing. He knew it was probably a mistake to call Buzz a lair, so Crackle thought fast. "I mean your lying, I don't care what it is just your not a good lair." He said Buzz, he figured he would still get yelled at bur whatever.
