Andrea At first I did not look at my surroundings. All I cared about was the fact that I had passed into Woodrow Cove, where hopefully I would heal. If things were good here then perhaps I would stay longer than that. If not, well I would leave Ashton once I had finished healing. I was still limping. The long scratch done my right front leg was stinging again. Still I pressed on. Being lame like this was every horses nightmare. I could not run from predators. That was something no horse liked to have to put up with. When danger came, we liked to be long gone. It was then I heard something from behind me. I stopped, absolutely still. No there was the sound of a horse coming up behind me. I turned to look behind me and snorted in fear. Man! I whinneyed in fear as the man and his horse came towards me. I managed to break into a limping canter but that was all I could manage. Confund this bad leg. I risked a glance behind to see the man was alone. Then I shied to one side as a man came at me from in front. They were waiting for me. As soon as I moved to the left out of no where came a rope. I reared, screaming in terror.

Ashton
I heard a scream, her scream and galloped towards her. Ropes flashed though the hair, threatening to land around her neck.
I dashed in front of her, protecting her from the flying lassos. "Run!" I screamed, glaring at the humans. I knew she was in pain, I felt the pain from her. But there was no way I would lose her to these...creatures. "Andrea! Run!" I screamed again, charging the humans.
There horses looked at me strangely, as if unsure why I wasn't running from them, but soon got the idea. Bucking and twisting they moved, there riders managed to stay in the saddle though.
But thats all the time I needed.
I moved faster then I had ever before, my teeth meeting flesh of humans, my hooves kicking out to anything I could reach.
So different form the kind, loving stallion I normally was.
I hoped I didn't scare her, but she shouldn't be watching she should be running.

Andrea I saw a gap in the three men and cantered towards it, still weak and pain filled. I had not been expecting what happened next though. I thought i escaped them when a rope soared around my neck, unseen through my blind terror. One of the men had followed me, while Ashton was busy.
The man's horses steadily pulled me away from him, away from the land only so newly home.

Ashton
My head snapped around, these 3 were down for the moment and now understood why not to piss off a grown, protective stallion.
My dark brown eyes searched for the 4th human, where had he gone?
Then I spotted him, leading away Andrea and I screamed my challenge to him.
How. Dare. He.
My hooves left the ground in a fury of dust, bolting towards them at top speed.
The mare he rode turned her head, rolling the whites of her eyes seeing me charging them and reared. Her rider fell, hard, and saw me. A black tornado of fury.
I slid to a stop, glaring down at him. He dropped the rope, and ran after his mare. His companions galloping after him.
I turned to face Andrea, hoping she was ok.
"My dear, are you ok?" I asked gently, walking back to her with slow gentle steps.
Those humans would not return.

Andrea I snorted as Ashton came at the man who had caught me. When he fell from the horse the rope around my neck tightened and I choked, falling to my knees. The knot holding it in place had tightened as he fell.
I saw the tame mare running away and I knew as soon as the rope's length went slack, but not the part around my neck that the man had gone after her.
Several times I coughed shaking my neck to try and rid myself of the rope. It did not want to come off.
"I'll recover."

Ashton
I watched her, worry clear in my eyes, as she coughed and choked on the rope. "My dear," I murmered, nuzzling her neck lightly and studing the rope. Gently, and careful not to pull at her skin, I wrapping my teeth around the thick human made item, pulling it slightly. I knew what these were, having delt with it myself. "Lower your head slowly," I whispered as I came slightly loser.

Andrea Though I was terrified by the feel of the rope around my neck, I knew he likely knew what he was doing right now. More than I did right now any way. There was a lot for me to learn, i knew that now. Sighing I did as he said, wondering how this was going to help me.
My leg hurt me again and I knew I had definately damaged it a bit more now. Not that I was worried that much. My solde concern was getting rid of the rope that was around my neck. I hated it a lot.

Ashton
"Lower you head," I whispered again, pulling gently at the rope again and the loser it came.
Her head dipped slightly and I pulled the no lose rope over her artfully carved ears and head. It landed in a coil at her forlegs.
"Are you ok?" I demanded, looking the marks around her neck and nuzzled her. The poor thing, so much hardship.

Andrea I snorted.
"I'll recover," I replied.
The only thing that was really annoying me was my leg. That was the worst of the places I was hurt and I knew that. Hopefully he did as well. I had no interest in the fact I was in a new home at the moment. Right now I was only worried about how I was going to recover from the pain that was my leg.

Ashton
I sighed, resting my head lightly against her warm, white neck, inhaling her scent.
My eyes spotted the now bleeding again leg. "Its bleeding again," I said, it was not a question. I watched her with concern. "Come with me, if you can," I said gently, letting her lean on me for support. "There is a place near by, you can rest, clean and heal," I said

Eleven
The white mare was cantering toward Ashton, flicking her tail as she went. Her lavender orbs flicked from him, to the mare, to the retreating humans. She snorted, anger bulding inside her, damn humans, intruders, was all they were. She continued toward Ashton and the mare, tossing her well carved skull. "Ashton!" She said happily, nudging his nape gently. She nodded to the mare, greeting her in a friendly tone. "Greetings, femme."

Ashton
I saw my white queen approached and grinned with delight. "Eleven!" I said warmly, nuzzling the mare but not leaving Andrea's side. I was unsure if she could stand without my help. "Eleven, Andrea." I said, nodding to each mare in turn. I hoped they would be friend, Eleven need someone as did Andrea.

Andrea I smiled meekly at the unfamiliar mare. I was a little nervous around the others, but with a history like mine, there was really no surprise in that. All the horses I used to run with were annoying, so there was nothing but timidness when I met someone new.
"Hello," I said shily

Ashton
I smiled warmly once more and nuzzled her neck in encourgement. "Are you feeling ok?" I asked the white fae gently, wanting to be sure she was not in any pain.
I tossed my kind black head and met her loving eyes and chuckled before looking back at my queen.
"And you my dear?" I asked her

Eleven tilted her crown at the mare, smiling a bit. Her quirky nature made it easy fro her to make friends, so it was no surprise thaty she was liked by many. She stepped a little closer, reaching her muzzle toward the mare's own in greeting. "As Ashton said, I'm Eleven, his queen." She smiled at the words, she still thought herself unworthy.
