Leo
The tall, black, friesian stallion looked around at his new surroundings.
With a snort he looked up as a light breeze blew his mane onto his face.
He was surronded by waving grasses.
Belle
Belle rolled onto her back and felt the warm air.
Then she spotted a huge friesian stallion in the corner of her eye.
She crouched low in the grass and waited. At least her fur was good camouflage.
Leo
Leo grazzed happly till he heard rustling in the grass. It was a wolf rolling.
The wolf was a few yards away from Leo. He snorted and reared up, challenging the wolf.
Come out and fight! I can see you just fine! Leo said, trying to deter his attacker.
Belle
Looking up at the big stllion rearing above her, Belle stood and tried to look him in the eyes.
I'm not here to fight. Calm down!
Leo
Leo lowerd his legs down to the ground with a thud. He looked into the wolf's green eyes and strted to breathe normaly.
"Whats you name wolf? And why are you here?"
Belle
"It's Belle. Who are you?"
Belle asked, walking closer to the horse.
Leo
Leo looked at the aproching wolf and, raising his front left leg said, "My name is Leo. And you failed to answer my question,Why are you here?" He inquired, eyeing Belle. He lowerd his head in front of her.
Belle
Belle stopped abruptly and froze for a moment. She looked to the ground. "I'm just passing through." She said, a little unsure of herself.
"Where's your herd Leo?" She asked raising an eyebrow and remembering his attempt at looking strong.
Leo
"That is classified imformation. So were is your pack Belle?" Leo siad trying to hold back his feelings. What hppend to Belle's pack had to be the same for him or at lest he thought.
Belle
"Classified information huh?" Belle contiued to raise her eyebrow. "Out here by yourself you could get killed." Belle said teasing him. She totally ignored his question.
Leo
"I can take that risk. Even you aren't dangerous." Leo said, trying to tease Belle.
"You better be on your way. I'm done talking an enemy." Leo said stiffining up, incase Belle attacked.
Belle
"Don't be so quick to judge." Belle said getting a bit annoyed with him. "I'm looking for a pack, same as you." Belle glared at him and felt an urge to snarl but didn't.
Belle stood and turned away. "Tell me how it turns out, Leo" She said looking back at him. Belle began to move away from Leo.
Leo
Leo flared up in anger. I had never been told what to do and now a wolf thinks she can boss me around! He thought as his eyes went down to Belle. "Thats it! I was starting to like you. Now get out!" Leo said rearing then charging towards Belle. He stomped behind her. He did not want to hurt her. Leo just wanted her to get lost!
Belle
Belle spun to face him snarling in anger. She did not want to fight either, but this horse was a cocky bastard to her. "Leo I don't want to fight, but if you endanger me I won't hesitate!" Belle said lowering herself to the ground, ready to attack. "Leo, showing off to everyone won't get you anywhere!" Belle said, still snarling.
Leo
"You wise little Bitch! I'm glad your a enemy now insted of a Friend!" Leo said, charging Belle.
"Your gonna pay!" Leo yelled kicking towards Belle's side.
Belle
Enemy? Belle stood shocked. So he's gone to that! Belle ducked just as Leo's striped hoof went above her head. She jumped to the side and glared at him.
"Good luck finding a herd, if anyone will have you!" Belle said, and bolted off in the opposite direction. She didn't want to hurt him. Or fight him at all. Something told her that he didn't either. She would come back and try to talk to him again.
Leo
"You coward! Come back and fight! Thats how a real wolf would settle it!" Leo yelled as the small wolf ran off. Right before Leo went after Belle he stopped dead in his tracks. He thought about what he had said and if it would afect his relsoinship with his future herd if he couldn't even strike a wolf!
*Sigh* "I guess I can let it go this time. Belle's the only person out here that knows me." Leo said as the sun started to go down. He walked toward a small patch in the prarie and layed down.
Belle
Belle ran to the edge of the prairie, her breath coming quicker with every step. She slowed to a trot and started panting. Finnaly she stopped, seeing the sun set. Now she was alone and it was almost dark. Not good! Belle thought to herself looking around.
Leo
Belle looked back at Leo resting in the fields. She sighed and turned toward him. No matter what happened she wouldn't sleep alone at night. Not ever! She set off to Leo the stars rising in the sky.
She walked up next to him silently. "Leo?" She whispered into his ear. "Leo?" Belle whispered again.
Belle
"Mmmm...Belle! Oh sorry you scared me. Listen, um, I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. What happend in my past with wolves kinda made me think you were like all the others, but I was wrong." Leo said sitting up now looking toward Belle.
"But I'm sorry thats all I can tell you. If you want to stick around that's fine. Just as long as you don't try and kill me okay?" Leo said out of breath.
Leo
Belle smiled. "No I won't try to kill you!" she said playfully. "But I don't totally blame you. Wolves are known to kill horses... Anyway, I just wanted to sleep nearby. I was always told never to sleep alone. Guess I could sleep with a horse." Belle said laughing.
Belle
"I'm used to other horses snuggling up beside me so... isn't it like that for wolves to? Or do you guys sleep alone?" Leo said forgetting he was not actting like a tough guy anymore. "You may sleep beiside me I don't mind." Leo said putting his head back down and closing his eyes.
Leo
"No it's okay, I'll sleep nearby. If you have the scent of wolf on you don't count on joining a herd!" Belle replied. She walked a couple feet off and settled down low in the grass.
Belle
"Suit yourself." Leo said shuffling his position as the moon lifted to the sky.
Leo
"Hmm." Belle said with a smile and closed her eyes, feeling the cool air move the grasses around her.
