ON THE WAY TO DEAD HORSE HUT…

The stallion extended his stride to its full extent and MOM did everything in her power to help him along. Then it became clear to her. The wild horse rustlers. They had his family members. She saw them tethered by a rope to a fence post. The rescue would be risky as it was broad daylight. Using only her knees as a grip, MOM activated her u-watch.

"u watch activated. X-Rod selected."

Silver shied at the sound and his step faltered slightly but he quickly fought to regain his balance and kept going. MOM laid a reassuring hand on his neck as she aimed the X-Rod at the rustlers. The thrill of this adventure reminded her of the old days, when she was an agent for the center.

There hadn't been a u-watch then and they had to rely on their own skills to win over paranormal. Gastromo was her first ever captured creature…salt was it's weakness.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, MOM pressed a button on the X-Rod, firing a u-net at the rustlers. They cried out in shock but MOM had already snagged the horses' ropes and led them out of the area at a fast paced run.

"don't worry." The stallion whickered to his 2 herd members. " this human can be trusted!"

The mare and foal looked at each other, then willingly followed them out of the dangerous grounds.

Once safe, MOM undid their ropes. She made gestures for them to stay before ducking into the tent for some ointment and gauze.

She slowly approached the foal. Bending down, she examined the rope burn left by the men's ropes. Huge red slashed could be seen and her heart almost stopped at the sight. she rubbed some ointment on the wound and bandaged the filly's neck with gauze. She then did the same for the mare who had suffered the same tormenting. Surprisingly, they obliged to their services.

Finally, she was done. She took a step back and allowed the horses to run free. "good bye, silver." She murmured as she watched the horses disappear into dust.

THE NO-LONGER HIDDEN FLATS…

" silver! You're back! And you got back Dark Hightailing and Copper Coin!" Waters exclaimed joyously, cantering up to her leader.

" a crazy 2-legged jumped on my back and helped me to rescue them." Silver said, nuzzling her.

Them, his heart took a sudden leap. His 6th sense was acting up. Something was telling him to go to Dead Horse Hut. Urgently. "waters," he stammered. "I need to go to Dead Horse Hut. I don't understand why, its very confusing. I know its dangerous, but…"

"it's okay. We'll watch the foals no matter what. You go ahead, follow your heart..." his lead mare said.

Silver nodded gratefully. His legs were tired and exhausted, but he knew what had to be done. He knew it and he would do it. Launching off into a whirl of dust, he charged on in the direction of Dead Horse Hut.

ON THE PROWL…

MOM ducked into the tent, happy and satisfied by her animal watching. She would pack and return to the center.

" we gotcha now, horse-thief." A gruff voice said from outside as the tent collapsed and was dragged across the ground --- with MOM stuck inside…
