Dream Catcher galloped through the fields tossing her head. Her mother was caught by humans and now she could try to find a herd. Her rich chestnut pelt shone from the sun beating down on it. Her mane and tail waved in the wind as it danced around her. She reared feeling more energy and she picked her way down the hill and trotted through the valley looking for a herd.

Dream splashed through a stream ignoring the cold. Once she got out she shook her dripping wet pelt. She searched for any horse but didn't see any. But then she saw a black and white horse followed by many others. "Wait!" she called out. She wasn't sure if he heard her but she galloped after them.

Demon sniffed the air slowing slightly he let the herd continue ahaed of him. He heard and smelled something behind them. "Wait!", a strange horse called. That did it, Demon whirled rearing on two legs before plunging ahaed pulling in front of a chestnut snorting in anger. "What do you want stranger!", he asked haughtily his head raised high showing dominance. If it had been a stallion he would have killed it on the spot, but since it was a mare he held himself back. She might turn out to be a nice addition to the herd.

"I would like to join your herd." Dream said dipping her head to show she was no threat. She looked back up to the stallion not wanting to show she feared him. She looked straight into his eyes to tell him she was not afraid. But she felt her legs shaking from the nervousness and couldn't wait for his answer.

Demon walked slowly around the chestnut, his nostrils flared and his eyes hard and piercing. He paused at her head once again giving her a final look over. Slowly he sniffed the air his great neck arched high, testing to see if it was a trap is a stallion waited to attack, or humans lurked over the hill. Sensing non of these he lowered his head once again. "Very well, but you have to keep up", Demon said nipping the chestnut on the rump sending her on her way to the herd, keeping behind her to guide her on the right path.

Soon they reached the crest of a hill the herd could be seen down in a little valley contently grazing next to a small stream, the wind blew slowly rustlign the sparce pines that stood ontop of the hill. Demon stayed on top of the hill watching for any danger that might lurk.

OOC: Feel free to control any of the horses in the herd.

Dreams ears were back the whole way back to the herd. She gazed around trying to get used to the different colors and shapes. She trotted over to a pretty palomino who looked nice and grazed next to her trying to build up the courage to talk. She eyed the stallion on the hill a still a little afraid of him. "Whats the stallions name?" she asked the palomino after she finished chewing the grass. "Demon." the palomino said. "I'm guessing your new." "Yah, I joined a couple minutes ago." Dream said giggling at how wierd that sounded. "I'm Sunset." the palomino said. "Dream Catcher but you can call me Dream." she said. They started grazing again. She forgot what lush grass tasted like. For her whole life she lived in a dark forest and ate moss off the trees. Her mother hated herds and they always hid from them in the forest. She sighed happy that she was finally in a herd, but still a little stressed out from the gallope here.

ooc: okie dokie.

Listening, Smelling, always always, Demon was at attention watching for dangers that might harm his precious herd. He whickered softly as he watched the new mare attempting to socialize with the herd. He would have ti get to know her more, but not right now they were moving through dangerous territory, another Stallions territory in fact. There would be time to talk later.

Letting out a fierce whinny Demon sent the herd galloping once again, heading for the safety of their new range. As a cloud of dust built up from the racing herd Demon pulled up behind them nipping here, kicking there keeping them all in line. Like a living river they flowed down the valley, twistign and flowing with the curves of the land. If they kept moving at this pace they could be in relative safety by late afternoon. Demon hoped they could make it unscathed.

Dream bunched her muscles and galloped with the rest of the herd. She ran side by side with Sunset and didn't know why everyone was so nervous. She sped faster keeping up with the herd. Her tail and mane flew behind her, they were coming near a stream.

The head of the herd plowed into the stream, Demon watched at water sloshed into the the sun glinting off of them like thousands of crystals. Then he was through the creek and the herd moved on, the water felt cool and refreshign plastered against his coat. Shaking his head slightly to clear his eyes he raced on. Ahaed approached a this stand of pines, behind them a huge mountain range framed the wood like a picture.

That was their destination through those woods, and through a gorge the seperated two mountains, then they would be home. Demon whinnied again, telling the lead mare to stop in the cover of the woods for a break. Soon all the horses were bunched in the trees breathing heavily, yet happy their eyes sparkling as they smelled the scent of home.

Demon stood on the outskirts of the woods, shielded from view by a stand of brush. He had to make sure none of the mares strayed away. Especially the new ones. That was why he had come here, to get new mares for the herd. Before his herd had only been about twenty-five after stealing from the herd here, the herd now numbered around thirty-five. That as why they were so nervous, they were all expecting the stallion of the herd Demon had stole from to come charging over the hill at any moment intent on killing.

Dream stood on the outside part of the herd watching. She was still a little uncomfortable around them and couldn't find Sunset anywhere. She lost her in the mad rush to get to this place. She searched for her friend and finally felt her shiny golden pelt standing among the different colors. She picked her way the horses and stood beside her friend. "Oh thank goodness, I thought I lost you." Sunset whinnied coming up to her and sniffing her to make sure she was okay. "I'm fine, I just got stuck in the back and I thought I lost you." Dream said. She shook some of the remaining water off her now fire looking pelt. She dipped her head to hide it from the scorching sun and ate some of the cool grass.

Something was coming.....There! Demon saw something flash by at the top of the valley. He watched intently waiting watching his nostril flared as all his senses worked trying to pinpoint the disturbance. Suddenly the smeel hit him, Bruno the stallion he had stolen from! "RUN!! Head for the gorge!", Demon screamed to the herd. Imeidiately the herd scrambled into a gallop weaving through the pines heading in a southerly direction towards the gorge Demon had mentioned.

Just as they took off a hug black stallion with a white laze streaked over the hill. His eyes were wild and glowing with hate and anger, his mouth frothing, as he whinnied a challenge to Demon. Demon whinnied back his own rage building, both stallions charged intent to fight to the death.

Dream watched in horror as the two stallions collided and fought. "Come on." Sunset shrieked butting into her. They galloped together with the rest of the herd. We do a lot of running, she thought. They hit a gorge and the rest of the herd, with ears pricked and head held high watching for Demon. She could feel worry and disstress running off in waves from Sunset. She tried to comfort her but it didn't work. They could all just hope for the best.

The two stallions collided, immiediately they lashed out with teeth and hooves. Demon got ahold of Bruno's neck and clung on in an attempt to pull the slightly shorter stallion to the ground to tromple him to death. Bruno however was older and wiser, ignoring the pain he jerked his neck free and lashed out with his front hooves raking two bloody valleys down Demon's chest. Demon lurched back, instantly recieving a kick in the face from Bruno's back hooves as the black stallion whirled around.

Demon rolled a little ways away, Bruno was instantly upon him kicking and biting. Somehow Demon made it to his feet, lashing out he heard the satisfying crunch of a rib breaking. Bruno screamed raking his teeth down Demon's side. Wheeling around Demon reared high above Bruno's head. The black stallion tried to rear up as well, but as he came up Demons front hooves collided with his head with a sickening thud.

The black stallion crumpled on the ground, blood pouring from his nose and mouth, his lifeless eyes glazing over. Screaming his victory to the world Demon ferociously attacked the body mauling it almost beyond recognition. Then wheeling trotted slowly to the gorge where the herd awaited him. As he approached he slowed his pace, not fearing danger anymore and limped along nursing his wounds.

Dream stayed to the side as some of the mares rushed up to the wounded stallion. "I hope he is alright." Dream whispered to Sunset. She wondered why everyone care about him so much. He was only a leader and someone to boss her around. She snorted and waited for the crowd to disperse to see what wounds he had. She had some experience healing horses since her mother constantly grew sick and when she would fight to defend their freedom, she would have to heal her as best she could. She raised her head trying to see over the crowd but could see nothing.

Demon stood a for a bit as the mares of the herd surrounded him. "No, no it's nothing we need to keep moving predators will be coming soon from the smell of blood", he nickered to them. When they did not comply he set his ears back and whinnied lashing out with teeth and hoof sending them back into a gallop. All they had to do was get to the end of the gorge and they were home free.

Dream galloped with the rest of the herd. They neared the end of the gorge and she felt all the mares relax, which made her relax. They had done a lot of running and now hopefully she could rest. "Dream, over here." Sunset whinnied. She trotted to her friends voice and saw her standing with a grulla mare and a dark bay mare. "This is Stream." Sunset said nodding her muzzle to the grulla. "And this is Cherry." Sunset said nodding to the bay. "Hello." Dream said dipping her head. "Do we always do that much running?" she asked. "Not really this is our real home." Cherry answered. Dream wondered what she meant by that but shook her head to forget about it. She dipped her head again to grab a mouthful of moist grass.

Demon hobbled through the maw of the gorge. Pausing he looked out over his range, it was a large valley surrounded by mountains except for the gorge. All about hills dotted the landscape like giant mole hills, thick luscious green grass waved in the air as birds, rabbits, and insects flitted about. As you entered in from the gorge you could see al arge stand of pines off to the right, no doubt the ancestors of the pines on the other side of the gorge. A waterfall cascaded down from the mountains on the far side into a large pool, a cooling mountain breeze flowed down from the cold ranges.

Demon watched as the mares dispersed contentedly grazing and minglign in their seperate groups to converse. Hobbling up a goat path just to the right of the stands of pines he went a little ways up the mountain to a large plaza that overlooked the whole valley. Standing he watched the herd happy to be alive and home, yet he could feel his wounds tightening up as he stood he hoped he would be able to recover.

Dream chased Sunset, Stream, and Cherry through the fields. Their tales streaming out behind them. She whinnied with joy loving the fact that she had friends. They trotted towards a stream and they dipped their heads in the crystal clear water and sipped it. It felt good against her dry throat, Dream scanned the land around her trying to remember everything. She saw the beautiful waterfall and the hills that surrounded them. She could get used to this place and wondered if they were going to have to do a lot of running again. "I'll see you guys later." Dream said cantering off in the opposite direction. She slowed down from the thought of someone or something following her. She trotted alert for any sound. She abruptly stopped when she heard a twing snap. She look towards the pines and out darted a mountain lion. She whinnied and reared and the mountain lion jumped on her back trying to drag her down to the ground.

It was a scream of sheer fright, an pain. Demon whirled ignoring the pain from his wounds, half sliding, half running he raced down the goat trail. Once on solid earth he raced at top speed in the direction of the distubance. Up ahaed he saw the new mare being assaulted by a mountain lion, a common problem since they lived in the middle of a mountain range.

Demon jumped the last few feet, flying over Dream, knocking the lion from her back as he went. The mountain lion tumbled to the ground with a fierce snarl, almost instantly it rolled back up reaching out with its claws to scratch along Demon's rump.

Demon barely noticed the pain, whirling around he pummeled the lion with his front hooves. The lion went down but wasn't out for the count yet. Lashing out it caught Demon again, this time on his belly almost cutting him open. Demon jumped into the air landing ontop of the wild cat, ending its life. Then he limped over to Dream, "You ok?"
