Dawn

Dawn was unsure of herself at the moment.Ever since her mate died in battle she been more tempered than ever.Maybe losing her mate had pushed into the middle of violence.More willing to protect her foals as well.Snorting she wondered how her section herd would react to her.After all she was a mare who was the lead section of the Shenandoah Herd whick might cause trouble from the stallions.Most think mares shouldn't fight, but she give them a rude awakening on that part.She grazed by herself being quiet.She wasn't to wired about her children knowing that most likely Seabreeze or Coral was watching over them.She was so glad her daughter and neice had gotten so along with the younger ones.It made her proud she had raised Seabreeze in the right way.Her daughter stood up for what she believed in, and she knew their was nothing wrong with that.

Leo

Leo walked through the bushes and stopped and looked at the mare and her two foals."Woah..." He said queitly to himself as he loocked eyes with the mare. It was love at first site. This mare was the first one he had seen in a whole year. She looked alone. And maybe she'll be my friend...

BLACK WONDER

The Dark Queen saw everything, always. On her perch upon her ridge, standing docilely as wind touched her gently, Black Wonder had saw Leo waltz onto her territory. Ears perked, Black Wonder watched him look at Dawn, and she snorted. Strolling, at first, Black Wonder made her way over towards Leo and Dawn. If anything went wrong, Black Wonder wouldn't let Leo live it down. Black Wonder was just yards away when she spoke creamily, "Hello, newcomer. I am Black Wonder, The Commander and Founder of this territory and herd. What is your business?"

Belle

Belle lead Leo to the horse herd. She stopped a distance away. And motioned for Leo to lay down where he was. She raised her tail and pointed her ears foreward like a leader, and walked forward to The lead mare.

Leo

Leo started to lay down but only went to his knees.He looked up at the lead mare and smiled."Hope were welcome here"Leo said looking at belle

BLACK WONDER

The Dark Queen had noticed the wolf and equine, and alertly called Ezekiel. "Anyone who isn't like our enemies is welcome," Black Wonder replied to Leo.

Ezekiel stepped forward, the chestnut horse examined Leo. "He's been bitten, but I don't see much issue. He'll need thyme for the shock, a we'll get some herbs on the wound to stop the bleeding." Ezekiel left and returned with some thyme leaves, dropping them by Leo's muzzle. "Eat them, they'll make the pain stop."

Belle

Belle relaxed her tail and said. "Oh thank you! I was hoping you could help." Looking at the leader. "I can get some herbs for it!" Wagging. She was still young and that pup nature sometinmes showed.

Leo

Leo looked Up at the mare and started to eat."Yuck!" Leo yelled as he keept crunching. It was a bitter taste but it made the pain go away.

BLACK WONDER

Black Wonder nodded at Belle. "Find some oak leaves, and maybe a dandelion or two. That'll soothe the wound."

Ezekiel nodded, the chestnut stallion turning back to Leo. "It could be worse, you're lucky, though."

Belle

Belle dipped her head in respect and tore off towards the nearest forest outcropping. She sniffed around and recognised an oak tree by the abundance of squirrels around it. She found no leaves on the ground for it was summer. So she looked for the lowest branch. She wandered over and stood on her hind legs trying to reach it. She wasn't very tall but she mannaged. With a brach of them in her mouth she started back. Dandylions were everywhere and she gathered a few on her way to Leo.

Leo

Leo looked up at her with a "yeah right" look."By the way,can I jion u're herd?"

BLACK WONDER

Black Wonder blinked, glancing at Belle. "Her, too, I'm assuming?" Black Wonder chuckled, not hesitating, though, "Everyone is welcome. I am Black Wonder, queen of these lands."

Belle

Belle walked up to The chesnut stallion and dropped the herbs at his feet. She backed up and let him take them. Then she turned to The leader. "I didn't tell you my name did I? It's Belle. And I'd like to join. I could be like a watchdog or something, Queen." She said being more serious than before.

Leo

Leo looked up at Black and said,"I'm leo that is, if u don't know.Were,I mean I'm being chased by a wolf pack or at least I think."Leo said looking back.Leo stood up and looked at the stallion. "And who may this stallion be?"

Kahvi & Others

Kahvi tracked Leo and Belle to the territory. He had blood on his face from when Leo kicked him. The son of Aurinka and Windsong looked up at Black Wonder. "Don't let him get away! He invaded my territory, refused to leave, and attacked me!" That, in the eyes of Kahvi, was a major crime.

Neon, a brightly-colored Fierce Snake, slithered around Kahvi's neck. "Today... you die, pony." He hissed.

Tainted came up beside Kahvi. "You have harmed my nephew. For that, you must pay." She said in a dark tone.

Leo

Leo looked at them in a worried face. Than he looked at belle."I'm not scared. But I will run."Leo picke3dm up belle again and slide her onto his back and ran into the forest,fond a patch of bushes,and hide.

Belle

Belle looked worriedly at Kahvi and Black wonder. "Its Leo's nature! Belle said desperately. Belle dodged when Leo tried to grab her. "Leo wait! If this is truly your herd they will defend you!" She said looking expectantly at Black wonder. Then she snarled at Kahvi. "You will not harm him!" She said threateningly stepping bettween his pack and Leo. Her Tail raised, her fur bristled, and she stood stifly. Belles courage had returned along with Leo.

Leo

Leo blushed a little bit then came up next to her."If I go with u, u don't hurt her and she never can join."Leo said looking strat at Saydin. Leo did not care what they did to him, he just wanted belle to be safe from harm.He took a step closer and sighed.

Belle

Belle looked at Leo astonished. " They won't take you! There here to kill you not recruit you!" She grabbed at his mane trying to get his attention. "Listen to me! you have too choices! Run and hope they don't follow, or go to the humans!" Belle knew all humans weren't helpful to animals but the good ones protected them with guns. Belle looked at Leo with a pleading look. "I'll be okay. But not if you go with them!" She said defiantly Glaring at Kahvi.

Dawn

Dawn stopped grazing when all the commotion started.Raising her head she came over.She looked to Black Wonder to see what she wanted her to do.She might have to call her divesion to come and fight.She stood ready ears backed snorting a warning to the snake and two wolves not to do anything just yet.She would hear from Black Wonder first.Eyes blazed fiery like it had always since Autograph's death.Lashing her tail to the side a couple times.

BLACK WONDER

The Dark Queen turned to Kahvi, knowing the male. She had been a acquitance to Windsong quit a while back, and she'd heard of his many children. Raising her head, she shoved Ezekiel behind her and stepped forward. "Is this true, Leo? I do think this should be sorted out. I don't want to make a enemy for one horse's actions," Black Wonder sighed, turning to Kahvi. "I am dearly sorry for what he did. I will not stop you from killing him, but I will devise you from doing so. I won't stand in your way."

Ezekiel glanced at Leo, knowing Black Wonder wasn't the one to go around and make enemies just to save one life. One life compaired to the whole herd meant much to his Queen.

Belle

Belle looked at the leader in little disgust."He is still a part of your heard as am I!" Then she turned to Kahvi. "I will be a loyal herdmember and friend. You WILL NOT HARM HIM!" She repeated looking once at Black wonder for her reaction. She diddn't care, she looked that snake in the eyes and never once flinched.

Leo

Leo was also discusted by what the leader siad. but he understood. "I will go with u if u leave this heard and belle alone."

Belle

Belle looked angrily at Leo. "GET OUT OF HERE!" She yelled her patietnts wearing out. Belle would never let that happen. Not unless she was dead!

Leo

Leo looked at belle than the herd. "I-I-I will go to the humens. Hopefully I will be able to gert out.If u get there in time I'll be on the canyons.Good luck belle."Leo siad as he bowed to belle and ran off to the canyon.

Belle

Belle nodded also. She sighed with relif then glared at Kahvi. "I will make certain you don't get him!" She said. All pupiness gone from her. Belle sounded like a 5 year old. She growled and lowered Her head. Her tail raised, teeth bared. No he would not get Leo. She'd made a foolish desicion. She was going to fight Kahvi.

Kahvi

Kahvi smiled at Black Wonder. "Thank you, Horse Queen. I will not kill him." The smile turned into a smirk. "Tainted will."

Tainted, with an evil laugh, ran off with the rest of the Rebels to hunt Leo down and kill him.

Kahvi shook his head, chuckling at Belle. "Well, what's done is done. He trespassed and tried to kill me for rightfully telling him to leave. He deserves to die, at the very least." He stated, grinning. The Refugees stood behind him. "You wanna fight, princess? Then let's get it on." He was a huge brute at 130 pounds, and had the superior strength of his father, Windsong, and his grandfather, Vicious. The blood of the extinct Dire Wolf ran through him. He was born to kill.

BLACK WONDER

Black Wonder looked at Belle. "Officially, Belle, I will not grant you as a member. I am not going to create enemies just because of one or two members," Black Wonder snorted, her ears pinned back. The Dark Queen advanced forward, stamping her hoof. "You are intruding upon my land, and starting a quarl I did not allow. Therefore, these wolves can kill you, and I won't care."

Belle

Belle looked at her in utter fury. "Have it your way." Belle lowered her tail and trotted the oher way, her eyes watching wonder every second. She nodded respectfully and left the territory. Growling at herself as she mulled over how Wonder could be so friendly and then turn on her like that. Her fur bristled at the leader's actions. It wasn't her fault they came. And weren't they intruding aswell? Well she was through with all of them. And plenty sick of Kahvi. If he was smart, he wouldn't follow her.

Kahvi

Kahvi once again looked at Wonder. "I appreciate that you changed your mind, friend." He stalked toward Belle, suddenly leaping for her throat.

Belle

Belle continued her walk when she heard Kahvi leap for her. She tried to jump away but he was to fast. His teeth sunk into her neck. That was it! It was a bad time to try her patience. She Yelped and shook back and forth trying to shake the big coywolf off.

Kahvi

The massive canine kept a firm grip on Belle, shaking his head and trying to sever her windpipe.

BLACK WONDER

"I think of my herd, Belle. My family compaired to one casualty to the world will not be a torture moment for me," Black Wonder replied haughtily at Belle, as Kahvi began to attack her.

Belle

"I understand Queen." Belle replied Then She half growl half barked at Kahvi. She bit at him her fangs aimed right for his shoulder.

Kahvi

Kahvi got a good nick on the shoulder, but sidestepped fast enough to avoid too much damage. He launched at the wolf, trying to get a grip on the back of her neck.

Belle

Belle was ready this time. She was small and swift on her feet. She ducked to the ground and rolled under him as he jumped.

Kahvi

Kahvi landed right over Belle. "Foolish move, girl." He then made to pin her down.

Belle

Belle saw him land over her. She felt him on her as Kahvi pinned her down. If she was going to die she needed to talk to Wonder first. "I'm sorry for the trouble me and Leo's presence caused. I had no intention of bringing them here!" She called, "Family comes first." She admitted to The queen. Then come friends! She thought to herself Glaring at Kahvi. She snarled and bit at his face, snapping rapidly. At least Leo was long gone by now.

Kahvi

Kahvi lunged for Belle's throat again, trying to swiftly end her life with no pain.

Belle

Belle tried to catch his bottom jaw in her teeth when he lunged for her and flip him off.

Kahvi

Kahvi was unable to evade this one. Belle had his lower jaw in her grip, but he didn't budge when she tried to flip him off. He was extremely heavy. He tried to place his paws on her neck and yank his head away.

Belle

Belle realized she could not move him off of her she held on for her life. When he pulled his paws off of her to try and pull her grip off, she took that moment to slide under him still holding his jaw. His paw however intedned for her chest landed on her ear beacuse she was not fast enough. She tried to flip him onto his back by pulling his head down between his legs.

Kahvi

Kahvi stood with a firm grip on the ground, being to bulky to be flipped over. He stepped back as far as he could with Belle's grip on his jaw, then he laid down with the intent to crush her or get her to let go.

Belle

Belle saw him come closer and tried to turn and run, she realesed his jaw. But he laid on her tail and she became trapped. Belle jumped side to side losening her tail slightly out from under him.

Kahvi; Maelstrom

Kahvi stayed there, trying to crush the wolfess.

Maelstrom, a highly venomous Fierce Snake, silently slithered up behind Belle and Kahvi. The black serpent struck at Belle's tail, trying to inject a lethal dose of venom.

Maelstrom, a highly venomous Fierce Snake, silently slithered up behind Belle and Kahvi. The black serpent struck at Belle's tail, trying to inject a lethal dose of venom.

Belle

Belle tried to get free but then felt The snake's fangs hit her tail. She howled in agonising pain. It reached throughout the valley faint but detectable at the furthest distance. With all the energy she had Belle pulled foreward losing some of the hair on her tail to get away. Her tail began to feel numb but she would never stop running she'd die running if she needed to.

Kahvi

Kahvi managed to pull himself away when Belle howled. "You're dead, mate." He said with a grin, blood dripping from his jaw. He stepped away, allowing her to stand up in what might be her final moments.

Maelstrom slithered away victoriously.
