Rain shifted uncomfortably in her den. The cold winter air was getting to her. She looked out into her herd and gazed proudly. She loved her herd, her home. It was hers. She swished a fly at her white body and covered up her body with her tail as she lay down.

Star trotted to the edge of the herd and whipped his head and then cantered to about half way to the leader den, I see the white mare standing there, and then I walk with my head held high, and rise my tail, "hello I am Star, lone stallion and would like to join your herd if you would see fit to let me in," he said lowering his head in respect for the mare.

Rain looked at the stallion questioningly. she looked him up and down and saw he was fit. Fit enough to be in the herd, it looked. Rain nodded slowly saying,"yes, you may. I hope you enjoy the herd and get along well. You seem fit, so it should be okay. The stallions den is across our herd, not to far from here. You may go there if you want, but you can stay if you want. Any questions?" she explained everything calmly and slowly but she was tired. she blinked slowly looking up at him.

Star nodded under standing and looking at her "thank you lead mare" he said nodding his head again, "no questions but there are a few things that you should know, I am the best fighter around, I am not good at taking orders, I get into trouble a lot and I was kicked out of my old herd for disobeying the lead stallion," he said and then a bitter note in his voice, "even thow he was wrong and I knew he was" he said snorting in distast, and then in a voice to low to hear, "he got them killed and if he had listened to me they would still be alive" he said to quietly for anyone to hear.

Rain actually smiled for the first time in a few days. She liked this stallion, he wasnt like the normal stallions who would just come in because they want a herd to protect them, or to find a mate. He was different than them. Even with a bad history, he was a good different. "Call me Rain," she said happy that this stallion chose this herd instead of any of the others. "And thats fine. I actually admire you for your past. Im gonna tell you now, your nothing like the other lone horses that come here. Even though only the strongest and fastest can get to our herd, you are different. They know out power and they know we would protect them. Thats all they want. And I admire the fact that you told me the truth. Any other horse would have lied to me about why they were lone horses. But you told me the truth, unlike any other horses. Even if you didnt listen to me sometimes, I wouldnt kick you out for that. It was a stupid reason, and it doesn't sound like a good leader. I cant tell you how thankful I am for your honesty." Rain actually dipped her head in respect for the new stallion. He was different, and honest. It was good qualities to have in a horse.

Star lifted his eyes and raised his head high, "thank you Rain, it was the way I was thougt to never lie when spoken to" he said keeping his ears pricked straight up, he snorted, "I am greatly honered by your oppion" he said whipping his head, and bowing his head in respect for Rain, "I will try my best to follow orders and stay out of trouble, but I can not lie about anything, I will tell the truth even when some one would think me mean and rude I will always give an honensit oppion." He said nodding and blowing out air.

Rain snorted. "Hm. I expect you to be honest. What did you do when you got kicked out? No matter what you say I wont do anything about it. the past is the past." She looked at him seriously and wanted to know, truly if he did anything about being kicked out. Rain didn't know about him, but if she was kicked out for practically no reason... well, it wouldnt be fun for anything or one to watch.

Star snorted "well not much I called the lead stallion an idoit, I didn't listen when he told me my place was second not first, I disobeyed and tryed to make the other horses take a different rout but he kicked me out before I got the chance seems some one told him what I was planing," he snorted in disgust, "and now more then half the herd is dead, human potcher trap, I barley got alive I wasn't in their herd but I was following them anyway I had family there, and many of my family was killed" he said sighing in releaif to get that off his chest, then he glanced up at Rain what would she think of him now, he wondered.

Rain threw her head up. "You know what?" she asked star not waiting for him to answer. "You've got problems. And secrets. That's just like me," she smiled to him. Her past was kind of like that. The only differences were her leader truly was evil, she ran away, and she's the only one of her family still alive. She knew he was probably expecting to be thrown out with such a reckless and stubborn personality. She then thought to another subject. "Humans are sick. They kill us now. What happened to the stories of humans saving and loving us? They probably worked for the bloodt slaughter house," she mumbled to Star. She remembered when her twin got caught by a human. She met horses from the slaughter house at the farm. She loved her human and one day stopped coming. Rain expected she was dead.

he pricked his ears straight up to where they were touching, "really?" he asked cocking head to the side, and then at the statment she made about humans, he felt she needed a little faith that not all were bad, "not are bad some are good, and its not only us who needs them some times they need us to rescue them, there was this girl once she was stuck in a wheel chair and she had somthing they call canser, and I found her under an old apple tree I liked to play at when I was a foal, she got me to trust her and she always fed these things she called peanut butter cookies they were the best thing I have ever tried, and she used to talk to me, she was gonna die soon and she was scard and mad at everything in life, but after she started visiting me she started being nice to people, and loving life, she got her self out of that chair," he said a taer welling up in his eyes, "the day I met her she was kill her self, she told me I saved her life even if she was still gonna die, I saved her from taking her own life," he said whipping his head and then adding "she told me I was a gift that God gave her," he said smiling, "and then one day she never came back I waited for weeks but she never came and then one day I felt that she had finally gone to that place she said she was going where she wouldn't be sick, and where she would walk with the angels, and she would be able to ride as fast as the wind" I he said throwing up his head, "that day I had never felt so much saddness and happieness, my mom told me that only happens when some one really cared for you," he said hopping to restore some faith in people with Rain.

Rain snorted. "Maybe humans aren't all bad. But I still will never willingly go up to one again," she said turning away. Maybe she wouldn't hate humans so much if the poachers didn't take her sister and kill her family. That was what poachers like them do. They take the young and the pretty and sell them. Then they take the old and the ugly and kill them for glue. Rain and her sister Cloud were the youngest. And to many stallions the prettiest. Though from Star's story she knew the girl meant alot to him and was very kind. For a human. "I'm sorry," Rain said to Star. She looked into the distance and wondered. What if Cloud was still alive? Though Rain doubted it. Why would Cloud have stopped coming unless she was dead? Rain couldn't think of anything, so expected Cloud to be dead. It was the only logical reason she could think of.

I snort and shack my head "I distast humans as much as you but there are some that care for use, my mom used to live at this place called a stable she said in the winters she always had lots to eat she was never cold, and she would get these things called treats and they tasted good" he said "now I never wanted that life but my mom had liked it OK until she felt the wind in her mane the first day she was let go," he said whipping his head, "I don't know where she is know but I know she is alive I seen her escape the trap with my little sister, Dancer" he said his eyes shining with hope at maybe seeing them again, his little sister would be about three years old now.

Rain snorted happily for the stallion, as if reading his thoughts. "Maybe you will see her again one day. But for now, you have us," she said reffering to the herd. He could always turn to us, and would always have us, no matter what.

Star snorted Happily he was glad to belong to Rains herd, she good and kind, "yes I know she lives I just don't where" he said shacking his wishing so bad that he knew where Dancer was, "and thank you I am glad to belong to this herd" he said whipping his head and nickering to her, "I think life will be good here for me," he said whipping his head a gain to her and waited her reply, he felt safe being able to turn to this herd whenever he needed some one to turn too.

Rain whipped her head happily. "Well then maybe one day I can send some horses to look for her. I may not be able to if she has already joined a herd though. But we will find her someday," Rain promised Star. And she meant it too. She would find Dancer and Cloud if it was the last thing she ever did. And maybe it would be.
