I'm Not That Easy

Toxic
Can't Shake Me Away

My mouth hung agap as I watched the stallion give me a final look and turn away. He had done to me what I had wanted to do to him the entire time, since we had first met. He exited the clearing and wandered into the forest, leaving me by myself...in the darkness with the predators of the night. Well how gallant of him.

I tried to convince myself that it was best for the black and white and me to part ways but something kept nagging at me. I had grown up always challenging the world and I always had to end things. I chuckled at my new thoughts, the stallion must have thought that he was now rid of me but O did I have a surprise for him...

One of the unknown stags exiting lines had been if you do not wish to follow me to Hollow Woods and he had also said before his father was Chaos, the Dark King. I could easily find the land that the stallion had disappeared into. Expanding my nostrils I take in the deep musky scent of the stallion and follow his tracks into the woods. The sun was starting to rise, reminding me of my sleepless night and the bottomless pit that was my stomach. It growled but I ignored it, I had more important things to do then stop and eat.

I winded through the tree's following my nose, he had taken a right there, a left there...The scent of him finally mixed in with the scent of others, and his smell here was much stronger. I knew that I was now in a homeland that the black and white had visited often or even lived in. I didn't see any one around, just me and a few tall tree's so I called out. It was soft but strong at the same time, I was worried about my call being herd by someone ells, and them coming upon me in there land with out them knowing me; but I still wanted who ever heard me to know that I was not a week mare to be pushed around.

I was slowly getting used to the life in Hollow Woods and my affections to the young heir had grown and prospered into more than just love – it was pure devotion and I knew that it was stupid but he seemed so different around me. I stared at the bright – or you couldn´t actually call it bright here – sky and let out a sigh of longing, I missed him, missed his company and gentle touch yet somewhere I was still torn up on the inside, wondering why my parents hadn’t come to rescue me yet, had I really hurt my daddy so much? I threw my head and snorted in frustration as boredom overcame me, I couldn´t move outside the slave pen – I had only attempted that once and the queen Lakita had been over me immediately making sure I regretted the decision instantly. But really it wasn’t that bad, my love cared for me – made sure I didn’t go hungry to sleep, making sure I had company and a warm body to lean on as the thunder raged above us, what more could I possibly wish for? Except for Freedom.

I shifted my gaze to the entrance and exit to my holding pen, when would he come for me? I circled myself in an impatient motion, he should have been here now yet there was still no sign of the duo colored heir. My heartbeat increased violently as my thoughts drifted off to the fall, I knew that Intrepid wasn’t the king of these lands – and that the one who would probably cover me this fall was his father Chaos. My jaw clenched with fear and anger, I didn’t want my first foal to have a sire like the chestnut brute – sure he was strong, powerful and handsome, but he wasn’t my black and white prince. Sapphire orbs sprang to the exit once again as I saw some movement at the edge of my vision, quickly I set into a light trot towards the exit, only to stop and twitch nervously as a young equine – female, with a dark, no not dark; extremely dark aura entered the territory. Quickly I backed up slowly, but as my hind leg landed on a branch and broke it in two I stopped immediately – frozen to the spot, preparing myself to meet this dark female.

I didn’t bother to speak to her, if I had learnt anything about darks then it was that they didn’t like ‘lower ranked’ to disturb their ‘precious’ mind with useless talk. Slowly I lowered my azure orbs to the ground, it was unwise to keep eye contact – if she was one of Chaos mares she would already know of me, and know that if she wanted she could beat the hell out of me without facing any consequences, me however would be killed if I attempted to resist their harsh treatment of my fragile frame. Sure I had grown to my full height, and I was by now a pretty sight to behold – bay shiny pelt, slender frame and dazzling sapphire orbs that shifted with my every emotion, but apparently that wasn’t enough, I was still the slave of Hollow Woods.

Burn..

Shifting my weight a little to the right as i enjoyed one of the first half-decent grazes yet to be in Hollow Woods, my harks twisted backward as i heard unfamiliar movement not too far away from the entrance of my home. Grunting, i flicked my white cord in annoyance and took off in a pacey jog towards the sound.

A call was released, none other than that of Toxic, a younger filly i had met a few days ago, we hadn't bonded well. Which was why a smirk plastered itself to my blood stained maw as her scent became stronger. As the filly came into veiw, i slowed. Eyes narrowed, as always, casting my face into a frown, my nostrils quivered slightly as the morning dew dripped off my whiskers, and the new scent of the wolves nearby was reconised. Coming to a prompt half, i eyed toxic, then spoke out, in deep musky tones. Ah, you again. I cackled, and licked my maw, tasting old crimson. Arching my neck in the way only arabians could, i prowled around, her, like a bear stalking its prey, as i neared her rump, i lashed out, bareing ivories, and bit firmly into flesh, cackling again as i rounded back to the front of her.

However, my mood changed instantly, as the sweet relaxing scent of Einjeru entered my nares, i spun around, flicking my cord at toxic, to warn her, and Einjeru came into veiw. What was that? That twitchy feeling, the utter special moment i felt when i was with her. Extrodinary. I smiled, my face relaxed, Einjeru! How good to see you! I extended my neck to nuzzle at her shoulder, licking it softly, the taste of her was beautiful, i beckoned her forward, to my side. I had seen mother and father do that, stand at eachothers side, i never knew how good it felt.

Glancing back at Toxic, i awaited some explaination from her, again, giving her that stern look i gave every creature, apart from Einjeru.

Toxic
Can We Care?

I watched in disgust as the black and white stud entered my view licking his muzzle; there was still dried blood from our previous encounter on his lips. The stud spoke, his vocals were the same evil laced ones as before, I didn't know why I thought he might of changed in the few hours we had been apart. "Yes it is me again." He didn't exactly sound happy to see me. Maybe it had been a smarter idea to follow my instincts and stay away from this unknown stag, but I had followed my younger idea's and found trouble once again. The stag creaped about me, sending silent shivers down my spine as he circled me. His essence was still daemon like and it made me feel like I was a rabbit frozen in a wolves glare.

Razor sharp teeth sunk into my hind quarters, it was the opposite side then his first bite. Now I had his hoof prints in my withers and deep gouges on both of my butt cheeks. I kicked out at the stag from pain and frustration, the stallion had been nothing but devilish since our first meeting. Of course I missed, this day was not going to be a fun one. My ears perked up as the black and white turned and greeted another mare. I was totally shocked at the dark stallions change of being. Around me he seemed to be a bastard that I called him out on but with this new mare he was like a love struck foal, so sweet and gentle sounding.

I knew instantly that the bay mare was a light, poor thing, I didn't know how she could live with this band of brutal darks. But then again with the way that the black and white looked at her life must not be all that torturous. My eyes narrowed as I took in her posture, it was submissive, she didn't even have her eye's raised to look at me; I was a stranger to this land the mare should have been sizing me up seeing if I was a challenge to her placing in the band. Reality slammed into me like a solid weight, the stallion was turning into a disgusting beast ever more in my eyes as time went by. The mare einjeru, I think her name was, was a slave of this band.

A snort left my nostrils as I prowled towards the stag, anger now radiated from me like a living thing. "Not only are you a bastard you are cruel and disgusting." My gaze landed on the bay mare again, I softened but not much. It seemed as though the mare had simply accepted herself and the life stile that she lived. If I had been in her predicament I would have escaped captivity or at least die trying; I could never had let myself be so degraded. "How can you sleep at night?" I spit at the stag. I had forgotten my main reason for coming here with this new surprise laid down.

My features softened as Intrepid came into view, and love now clearly shone from my ocean blue eyes. I shifted my gaze from Treppy to the young mare that had followed him – still careful not to meet her haunting eyes, who was she? Had Treppy taken another female? Was I not enough anymore? I still lived in my little world of denial and fantasy castles, I thought that me and Intrepid would be a couple, and no others would interfere, yet I didn’t have the courage to stand up and go against him – especially not here in Hollow Woods. Suddenly my love was at my side licking my coat and in response, I felt my whole being shiver from the pleasure of being shown affection. Slowly I raised my dazzling eyes to study the other female carefully – ready to lower my gaze immediately should she decide that the unworthy shouldn’t look at her.

I wasn’t prepared when she quickly spun around and prowled in our direction, I felt my orbs widen and the fear spread in my body as I quickly backed up – since when had I become such a coward? Oh yeah, from the many beatings the ‘perfect’ queen had given me while watching me for Intrepid. I had a feeling that the old queen knew that her son and myself had something for each other, and somewhere I thought she was trying to beat the feelings out of me.

I shook my head as I returned to reality when the stranger’s cold lyrics cut through my dreamy state. I opened and closed my mouth a couple of times, desperately trying to find my voice to tell the mare to leave and never come back – no one should insult my Treppy like that! But as I threw my head and let out a snort, I felt the pain from the thick scars that decorated my slender neck – reminding me of the consequences if I messed with darks and their business. To calm myself I reached out and touched Intrepid’s lean side and nuzzled it gently – I knew he wouldn’t let the evil mare attack me, so I kept my place slightly behind him. So slowly and carefully I lifted my blue eyes to observe the mare with curiosity – I wouldn’t ever dare to come closer to her than this, I didn’t need another round of beating from temperamental dark females, but for a moment I think I saw her gaze soften slightly and I felt hope spark in my tired being.

easy now..

I felt the filly tense up as i came so close, my face was kept straight, even when she gave out her pitiful attack. My tassles blew slightly in the warming breeze, the day was indeed off to a good start, although sunlight was limited in Hollow Woods, you found the wind always creeped its way through the trees.

As Toxic prowled towards us, i felt Einjeru shoot back in fear. Immediatly, my harks shot back and my black eyes narrowed to tiny slits, then openbed, wide, in anger. How dare she jumpup close to me, never mind Einjeru, who was indeed now scared of any quick movements from strangers or my mother, who had no doutedly beaten her senseless. As Toxic stood infront of me, i half-reared, tucking my forelegs in neatly to my chest, holding the younger filly away from Einjeru. She had no right to even look at her, in my eyes, this Toxic was a spoilt brat, who needed teaching some manners, and boy, would she be taught the hard way.

Letting my upper body fall back to the ground, i snaked my chalky muscular neck towards Toxic, and my jaw opened then shut with a loud echoing clack of ivories, just inches away from her muzzle. A warning to stay back until i gave her permission to come forward. Her words had at first, skipped my mind, but now, as i recalled them, i smirked. Wench, i was a bastard, and i was cruel, and i was discusting; a long time before i met you. And things arn't about to change. I sneered at her, well aware of the soft touch of Einjeru my my shoulder, i quickly turned my neck to bite her gently and pull at her forelock.

Toxic
Just Stab Me

<sup>I hadn't meant to scare the bay mare when I had sprung at the black and white with rage. The mare now cowered behind the stallion, obviously not liking my quick movements. The big bloke also did not like my actions because he raised his upper half in a defensive motion. The mare and stallion obviously had something deep going on between the two of them for the stag to react to my harmless actions with such protectiveness. "Stag I wasn't going to hurt the mare, I am not cruel like you." I didn't go around making horses bleed every chance I got.

I felt the air around my muzzle move and stare wide eyed as the black and white nearly nipped my lips off. My reason for coming here was meaningless, I now knew that. For some odd reason I had thought that the stallion would change, become more of a neutral towards me. Not always attacking me and making me pain. But the two colored stag already had his heart devoted to another, it was bitter sweet to see. I was happy that they had each other, even if their relationship with each other was a little weired; with the whole submissive mare and dominating evil beast. But I was also depressed because they reminded me of what I didn't have, what I never had. Someone to love or even lean against for comfort or protection. Both my parents had been too mixed up in there own sadistic lives to give me much notice.

"I wasn't asking you to change." In a way I had been, I hadn't spoken it allowed but inside I had been hopping that the stallion had been someone I could shape into a being I could have feelings for. I should have known that my hope would be futile, the stallion hadn't even told me his name, and he wouldn't call me by my own calling; he opted for wench or girl. My eye's drifted to the mare again, she was beautiful even with the scars of new and old both showing on her coat and in her eyes. "I hope you find a means to a happy life." I wasn't sure about my own future, the only option I had left was to go and see what my uncle had to offer. With a wounded pride I turn away from the two.

The experience of today taught me that even if you go through pain and suffering there will always be someone there for you; even if you have to search to the ends of the earth to find it. My uncle was the king of Silent Woods, and although I still didn't know my way to his land I was sure that I would stumble upon it sooner or later.</sup>
