My herd continued(open)

[cmar]

Edge layed in the grass for a while just starring out on the world. he thought hope lexi stays, its nice to have someone to talk to..... he thinks about lots of things becaus he has so much time to himself. He just remembered that Lexi was there. He turned his head and looked at her. "you ready?"

[Flowza]

Lexi forcefully lifted her head, This grass is soo good!, she thought to herself, pleased with her decision to stay. She looked at the buckskin stallion and then tilted her head, "Sure but first I want to know what your name is". She stared at him and leaned to one side waiting for his response...

[cmar]

oh!! i didnt say my name... "my name is Edge. Sorry i forgot to tell you.. lets go" He got up to his feet and started to walk towards the old cabins. "This land use to belong to the two leggers and wild horses but a diease took over and killed all th humans and most of the horses. Legend has it that the spirits are still around. i feel like i feel them. but then again, most of my ancestors died here from the diease...." Egde looked around the opening like he saw the spirits.

[Flowza]

Lexi looked at Edge with sympathy, aw, hes doesn't have any company she thought solemnly to herself. Her curiosity got the best of her when she blurted, "so how come your the only here? You say its your herd but... no one else is here?". Lexi immediately felt bad for asking such a personal question. Damn it Lexi! Why do you have to be so nosy?! she scolded herself. Ducking her head down she mumbled, "sorry". Looking up with sympathetic eyes she stared at the structures before her. They seemed quite old and yet... they seemed so stable. Maybe it has something to do with the spirits?, she asked herself. The idea of mysterious spirits sent a chill down her spine and yet, it comforted her to know that someone cared. Unlike where she came from, everyone was so vain. Lexi shook the disturbing memories out of her head and stared at Edge. He looked pretty nice... maybe Lexi could actually be happy here.

"Its fine! i would like it if you ask questions." Edge said and started to walk. "well i said that my ancestors lived here with the two leggers. Most of the horses died. The ones that didnt, they stayed. For Generations my family has lived here until my great grand father decided to move the herd. When we were children we would hear stories of this place. Once my father took over the herd, he went on a power strike and anyone to say a word he would kill. I knew it was wrong so i tried to talk to him. He got mad but I knew that he wouldnt hurt his ow son so he banished me from the herd. My mother was pregnant again so i left looking for this place. I know I made the right choice. I know that it was destiny for me to be the alpha of this place. I wished that I could have brought my mother along....." Edge stopped at the lake looked at Lexi. "I am so sorry. its a long and harsh story. Here is the lake, its the best water, come have a drink. You look like you have been running a long time" Edge started to drink the cold water and waited.

[Flowza]

Lexi admired the stallion's honesty. His foal hood must have been quite difficult to live through. She trotted to the clear blue lake and immediately quenched her thirst. The long run had given her a dry throat and the water was like silk sliding down her throat. Lifting her head back up she decided to question Edge's past some more, since he didn't mind, "So how come your mother isn't here? Too obedient to your father?", Lexi asked. She turned to the opposite direction of the bank of the lake and began to munch on the sweet green grass.

[cmar]

Edge was done drinking and walk over to lexi. " well She was afraid of my father. She was afraid for her life, and for her foal. She also loved my father and knew that his loving self was still in there." Edge said. "What about your past. if you sont mind me asking??"

[Flowza]

Lexi lifted her head, her jaw still moving up and down from chewing on grass. When she swallowed she shook her mane and said, "Uhh...mmmm...well... lets just say my life has always been controlled by someone else. My mother, my father, who of course was alpha male of his herd. My mother was alpha female and high in society. She would make fun of the omegas with other beta females and she never had a 'soft spot'. She was always obedient to my father in fear he would choose a different alpha female. Both of them craved power and would not sacrifice it for anything", Lexi confessed. She somehow felt relieved but something still nagged her. Suddenly then, Lexi knew that she had to say the truth about why she ran away, "The reason why I'm here and not there is because my father was growing older and he eventually knew he had to give up his power to someone else. A new stallion had joined our herd and had somehow easily became a beta. Everyone was impressed and all mares adored him. When he challenged my father for Alpha my father was no match against the strong, tall, dark Avar. When Avar became Alpha he had his eyes on me as Alpha female. Everyone encouraged, no, pretty much forced me to accept his offer but I knew I couldn't. Avar is snarky, snobby, full of himself, and bossy stallion. If I became his female then I would have to end up like my mother. Obedient, rude, and empty. So I left, ran away and vowed never to go back there again. Now I'm here with my own rights to live life as I please... of course, I will abide by your rules". Lexi could feel her legs getting wobbly and lay down on the soft grass. Staring up at Edge she went on, " I don't want anything like that to ever happen again. I want something better. So you have to promise me now that nothing like that will happen here... please?" Lexi requested. She liked Edge and she didn't want to end up regretting her choice to stay in the beautiful meadow.

[cmar]

Edge was shocked when Lexi told her story. How could someone like her be treated that way. he thought to himself. "Dont worry, i have expirence with how if i am a control freak how it effects the herd. I am a easly alpha. I dont have man rules and if you dont like somthing, then you can come up to me and we can talk. I dont want to be like my father. I have seen what it does. Nothing!! but scare people until they are afraid to walk!!". Edge started to trot away. He stopped and looked at Lexi "it doesnt matter now. all of that is in the past. Its a new start for you."
