Chapter 14: Darko's Lesson

I skidded to a halt by the bonfire. Smelling the air I caught Darko's scent then a cry. I flattened my ears and ran after the sound. When I got there it was exactly how I expected it: Anaya was trying to stick up for a 1 yr old Indian toddler who was sitting on the floor by her, crying. Darko and his friends were surrounding them laughing and teasing. I snorted and trotted closer to where I was behind Darko.

He shook his mane "the mini-me is sticking up for another mini-me, what a surprise" he laughed.

His friends followed "excuse me Darko!?" I said then bit him on the rump.

He turned around sharply "hey!"

I smirked "you mess with a filly, you get the mother" I reared up and striked him in the face.

He backed away as I landed "you wanna mess with the bull you get the horns" he said throwing his head at mine.

I reared and he tried to retract his head but not before I striked him again. He wobbled at my attack and I took this chance to strike again. I bit one of his legs tearing flesh and then clamped down on another so hard I heard it crack. Darko shrilled and pulled his leg out quickly almost breaking my teeth. He clamped down on my neck and it started to bleed but I pulled away before he could do it again.

He was breathing heavily "don't mess with a stallion"

I growled not breaking a sweat "don't mess with a mare" I clamped down on his neck and he screamed.

A second later one of his friends ran into me knocking me off balance and I fell. I clenched my teeth feeling the impact of the fall and groaned painfully. I breathed deeply and struggled to get into the laying position. As I got up I heard Darko retreating and Anaya coming over to me. The Indian girl crawled over and put her hand on my muzzle and Anaya nuzzled my neck.

The neck wound screamed in pain being the only wound it hurt badly and I grunted when I tried to turn my head to the Indian girl. She looked worried but being a year old she didn't fully get it and I turned my head back to Anaya who looked really worried. I smiled.

She frowned "why are you smiling mother!" she said looking at my wound "your hurt and I can see it hurts to move your neck" she finished.

I grinned "I helped you out darling don't act like it was for nothing"

She ignored me and checked to make sure I didn't have any other wounds…

Knight skidded to a halt at the top of a hill; in the distance he could see a small village. He frowned and kept going not aware of the wranglers nearby…

Creek came running over to me "Flicka the village is talking" he said as he patched up my neck "everyone is thinking your just here to hurt everyone"

I flattened my ears "well 'hurting everyone' helped my daughter out and that little girl too"

Creek stopped "what little girl?" he asked looking at me.

I motioned to the year old who giggled "daddy?" she asked and I froze.

Creek seemed reluctant "she's just…. She's a year old she wouldn't… recognize her dad from… everyone" he said trying to cover it up.

I eyeballed him and he grinned "who's the mother?" I asked.

He sighed and dropped the act "Lilly" he mumbled but I caught it.

"Lilly!?" I freaked.

"Yah shortly before you left we met up and well… it happened" he shrugged.

I blinked a couple times "you guys had a girl!?" I asked still astounded.

He nodded and I shook my head not surprised much "well it was bound to happen" I shrugged.

Anaya was listening but turned around all of a sudden toward the forest. I looked toward her, slowly, not wanting to open up my freshly patched wound and perked my ears that way. My old instincts I hadn't used in a while caught a sound, a faint twig snapping and leaves crunching. Anaya had gained that ability and heard it too "who is it?" she asked whispering.

Creek had turned to it to "I don't know" he got up and slowly walked to it.

Anaya grabbed his pant leg "no" she said worried.

Creek kept going "hello?" he asked.

Nothing

He gulped "hello?" he asked louder this time.

Nothing

A White head with a black chin patch peeked out of the bushes "father?" Anaya said astonished and went up to him.

Creek smiled "nice of you to join us" he said.

Knight looked at me "what happened?" he asked going up to me.

Anaya followed and I shook my mane "Darko messing with Anaya and Creeks and Lillys baby" I mumbled but he caught it.

"That Indian horse needs a lesson" he said than galloped to the teepees "Knight no" I yelled but gave up when I felt dizzy.

Knight ran to him passing every Indian and there horse. When he saw him Knight reared and neighed loudly to him.

Darko looked at him "oh isn't it Flicka's sissy mate" his friends laughed.

Knight turned around and Darko thought he was leaving but knight kicked him hard and he fell "that's for my mate" he said then bit him on the neck "that's for my daughter" he galloped away back to Flicka.

My head was swirling "Creek" i said.

Creek went to me "Darko's friend gave you a harder push than you thought" he said trying to calm me down.

I nodded and lied my head down when Knight came back "taught him a lesson now I think she needs rest" he lied beside me "she isn't fully recovered yet" he laid his head on my back.

Anaya lied beside me and I laid my head on her back. Creek smiled and said goodnight before leaving since it was getting dark…
