Re: Havoc...

I raise an eyebrow at the mare, and examine her show.
I turn my head and begin the fast paced down hill drop, pinning my ears back to my chocolate skull.
At the foot of the hill, I turn on a heel and canter slowly towards a great gem in the distance.
"The lake..." I mumble, moving towards it in a dream-like pace.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Thu Jan 15, 2009 11:29 pm

My ears pricked as I watch the stallion gallop down the hill, smiling slightly to myself. I twiched my tail to the left, the way I held it when I ran and stretched my neck out, as if I was running. I took a step forward, and another... I sprang. I took the steep hill easily, bouncing from one thin ledge to another, taking the slightly rockier side. Show off. I beamed and took the last leap, racing to catch up towards the butter tail that flicked in front of me.
I nipped the stallion lightly on the rump and slowed my pace to a smooth canter. I took in long gulps of the air, waiting until my flanks stopped heaving.
"Not in the greatest condition, am I?" I muttered to myself. I smiled at the stallion, the moon glinting in my blue eyes.

My rump twitches irritably,
from where that mare's lips had touched the tender skin,
and I keep up with my rocking canter,
blinking in acknowledgement to her enquiry.
As we approach the lake, I take a tight left,
and slow to a steady trot, counting the hoof beats in my head.
One-Two-Three....
A weeping willow rears up from the silvered lake, bordered by pine trees. I sigh and step into the shallow water, dipping my muzzle into the biting cold of the water.
The moon casts a worried eye open the scene of a sonnet.

I slowed to a walk and then stopped at the water's edge, snorting softly and pawed out at the silver water. I watched the stallion, curious eyes taking in his expression... I couldn't read it. I shrugged slightly and took a step in, lowering my nose to the cool, silver water. I took a long draught and lifted my head, watching the stallion with my head tilted to the left slightly, my ears pricked.

by Guest on Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:31 am

I lift my head and bare my teeth at the moon,
Leave me to my plans.
In reply, she shifts her gaze onto the water, and I step in, the coolness of the liquid slicing at my skin.
I stand, my head raised to the sky, my eyes shut, in that spotlight.
I turn my head towards Rewind slowly and smile...
"Join me...Princess..." I whisper.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:38 am

I giggled softly.
"And the prince comes to sweep me off my feet, and takes me to his castle on his noble steed. Noble steed alright." I giggled again and splashed over to the stallion, sighing softly. I lifted my head so I could stare at the moon and the stars that winked down on me.

by Guest on Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:40 am

I sigh and splash out, further into the lake,
into the whispering fronds of the willow on the opposite bank.
I slide under it and stand in the darkness, nickering softly for Rewind.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:46 am

I looked at the water around me. It was already touching my belly. I shrugged indifferently and moved on, wading through the water. I stood, well, swam really, next to Havoc, treading the water underneath me.
"What's all this about?" I whispered.

by Guest on Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:53 am

"Does it have to be about something...?" I whisper, looking at the moon through the swaying of the fronds.
"Don't move..."
I touch my lips to the tips of her ears and bring my muzzle down the tendon standing out on the side of her neck, blowing softly.
I stroke her neck with my nose as I bring it back up, placing a soft little kiss on her chin and stepping back.
"Doesn't have to be about something..."

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:58 am

I closed my eyes and breathe out deeply. I smile.
"I guess not..." I breathed, opening my eyes as the chocolate stallion stepped back. I took a little step towards him, and looked up into his eyes.

by Guest on Fri Jan 16, 2009 1:09 am

I look down,
into her aquatic eyes and breathe out softly.
She's so small,
delicate,
a china doll...
easy to break.
I lower my face to hers.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Fri Jan 16, 2009 6:18 pm

My nostrils flared and the silvery light reflected in my eyes. My long mane splayed out in the water and my tail looking like a silver stain on deep bluey-silver fabric. I looked up, then back down to Havoc, looking him in the eyes.
"What are you thinking?" I whisper

by Guest on Sat Jan 17, 2009 1:47 am

I blink and drift out of the water,
slowly reclaiming my senses
"Of china dolls..."
I say,
moving away from her allure.
I want to taste you...but your lips are so venemous...
Poison.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Sat Jan 17, 2009 8:56 pm

I tilt me head to the side and cocked me ears. What is wrong with him? Why is he leaving? Should i follow him? I shrugged, stiffled a sigh, and silently waded after him.
"Seriously... what's on your mind?" I ask, stopping in front of him so he could not get away.

by Guest on Sun Jan 18, 2009 12:38 am

I eyed the mare and puffed my chest out, indignantly "Of things that can break..." I trail off.
I move away, shaking from the cold water and wanting to get warm.
I throw a smile over my shoulder and canter slowly, bringing my quarters beneath my body and working some blood into my legs.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Sun Jan 18, 2009 3:44 pm

I sighed and eyed the stallion, slightly annoyed. A snort escaped from my flared nostrils as I stood in the cold water, shivering. My legs had gone numb, but I knew I could move them... I only paused because of my fear...
Does he want me to follow? Is he going to leave me? What does he mean 'Of things that can break'? Why does he keep backing away from me at times? Why, why, why?

by Guest on Mon Jan 19, 2009 1:09 am

I blow a cold breath from my nostrils and pull my chin closer to my chest, bringing my power legs under my straining quarters.
I begin to snort at the short needles of pain travelling up my spine from the cold. The grass on the plain that I had cantered onto swung in the breeze, silver stems rippling like a live creature. I whinny, short and sharp, for Rewind, cantering out to the center of the clearing where I ducked down onto my knees and saw only grass and the sky above me.

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Mon Jan 19, 2009 2:51 am

I sighed, but picked up into a steady, rocking canter. On the shore, where only the waves lapped at my cold hooves I stopped and shook the water out of my wet pelt. I lifted my head slightly, catching the stallion's scent on the breeze and followed it towards the clearing. I stood in the shadows, watching silently.

by Guest on Tue Jan 20, 2009 12:41 am

I pick up no scent from the mare that should be behind me...following...
I sigh and roll onto my back, kicking my dark legs above me and wriggling my shoulders and rolling back onto my stomach.
I curl into fetal position, resting my head between my legs and concentrating on the moon high above me.
You won't mess up my plans.
My eyelids droop slightly, but not before I utter a quiet nicker.
Where are you?

LilyGrey · by LilyGrey on Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:02 am

I answered the nicker quitely with my own high-pitched whinny. I stepped into the silvery rays of the moon, ignoring the lights that danced off my hairs. I flared my nostrils and looked down on the stallion, standing at his head.
"When you said before that you were thinking of breakable things... What did you mean exactly?" I whisper. A perfect fitting for the silent night.
