It was a quiet peaceful day as Abyss laid in the soft grass with Speed of Light watching over her. They were soon to have a foal. Abyss and Light met a while back in these very woods. Abyss was separated from her herd and stumbled across him while trying to find her way back home. She told him what happened and he helped her find her herd. Abyss wanted Light to stay with her in the herd but her father would not allow it so she decided to stay with Light ever since.
It was time, Abyss laid in the grass waiting. "What are we going to name him or her?" Light questioned while laying beside her.
"If it's a boy, Ebony, and if it's a girl... Azul." She smiled at him with her jet black eyes.
~ Few Hours Later ~
A small black filly with a few white spots on her rump was born. When she opened her eyes they were a bright royal blue which fit her name perfectly. She whinnied softly looked up at her mother and Abyss nuzzled her softly. To Abyss, she was perfect. Azul looked up at her mother and squealed with laughter.
Abyss laughed and nuzzled her. "Hello Azul," she smiled gently. Azul sneezed and pranced around with a large grin on her face. Light watched his daughter frolic through the grass. He slightly smiled. Abyss was so happy but why wasn't he? Light heard a twig snap from the bushes. He spun around and pinned his ears.
"Run Abyss, hide somewhere." Abyss nudged Azul and cantered to the thicket. A large cougar with deep scars across his face pounced out of the bushes and lashed at Light's face. Light reared and kicked his sharp hooves at the large cat.
"M-mommy, is daddy going to be o-okay?" Azul glanced at her mother worriedly.
"Shhh..." Abyss made Azul look away. "He will be fine, don't you worry" she comforted Azul even though she knew it was a lie.
Light fought against the cougar but couldn't hit him even once. The large cat was too fast and to desperate. It soon brought light to his knees but it wasn't interested in eating him, instead it wanted the foal.
"RUN!" Abyss screamed at Azul. The cougar came straight at them. "Run towards that meadow and don't look back!" Abyss frantically pushed Azul until she ran. Once she was sure Azul wouldn't stop she turned to face the cougar. She pinned her ears and reared with her nostrils flaring. The mountain lion avoided her and went after the filly.
She wanted to scream but nothing came out. Struggling for air, Azul moved her legs as fast as she could but the animal was still catching up. Up ahead she saw a bunch of horses. The nearest one was a large bay with a blaze on his face. He heard her coming and looked up. She galloped to the stallion and ran right into him. She hut him so hard her world began spinning and soon everything went black.
Abyss galloped back to Light only to find him unconscious on the ground. She stood over him with tears streaming down her face. "Somebody h-help..." she tried to call out but only a faint whisper came out. Light laid beside her feet, not making a single sound.
Azul woke up and looked around. A large roan mare stood in front of her along with two other colts but their attention was directed to the large stallion she had run into earlier fighting the cougar. She slowly stood up and stood next to the roan colt and watched the fight. Her heart pounded as she watched them. The stallion twisted away before the mountain lion could jump towards him. It went on for a while, jump, twist, jump, twist, until the cat finally gave up and slunk away.
After the long fight, the stallion turned to Azul and began walking over with a a cold glare on his face. She cowered in fear when the mare in front of her quickly moved out of the way.
"Where are your parents?" He towered over her. His voice was very raspy and deep making him even more terrifying to her.
"I-I... I don't know," her eyes were glued to the large scar across his face. "Th-they told me to r-run this way, so I did..." Her gaze slowly fell, realizing that she would most likely never see them again.
