Chapter 5 Befriended
When Cassandra ran out of the hole in the wall she was overcome by the chaos of the Cursed Pirates attacking Port Royal. She headed for Madame Lourina's but was stopped suddenly when a cursed pirated stepped right in front of her . "Shit!" she yelled and started running thinking of a plan looking back every now and then., he was pretty close, she saw an opening and veered in the entrance and a sigh came to her at the sight. Lots and Lots of horses. She saw a stable and dove into one that wasn't occupied but a stack of loose straw was in it, and hid herself . She peered through the straw waiting for the Pirate to come trying to catch her breath and not move too much. Suddenly footsteps were close, Cassandra held her breath. The Pirate was right in front of her, she froze, praying to her Gods he did not see her . More footsteps , she opened he eyes and almost let out a sigh, thank Gods he wasn't a smart one. She listened for him to go out, when she didn't hear anything she stepped out cautiously.
Her knee was aching, that run didn't help matters, as she was brushing herself off she felt a hot breath on her neck. "Oh man.." Cass groaned when nothing happened she turned around and had to laugh. It was a horse beautiful, well built black Arabian, she loved that breed they were always curious and it was true with this one, ears perked towards the front a little wide eyed, but that was to be expected, of all this damn chaos! She let it sniff her then let herself ease into its stall. She started to pat it her tension easing as well as the horses. "hey there gir- oh, boy, hey there boy" He looked at her and snorted and rubbed his head against her back affectionately. " Ha ha you are friendly big boy" Cass loved horses they were her life other than music. He had a long mane, slightly curled and was black as can be but shiny in good health. He had to be a solider horse, Cass looked around and smiled as an idea came to mind. 'I bet you wanna get outta here to don't you? Another head rub in response, the horse then sniffed her make shift bandage and nibbled on the tatters of Cassandra's shirt. "Hey now boy that's not edible! But she couldn't help but laugh again" She instantly felt a bond with this beautiful creature, her luck was somewhat improving. Cassandra was eyeing the saddles while the horse was picking some loose straw on her clothes then happily munching away on it. "I'm gonna have to give you a name here big guy.." She thought for a couple seconds.. how 'bout Varekai? The reply she got was more nibbling at her shirt, "Come on now I have enough holes in it already! "Varekai is a good name it's unique." "Welp lets get saddled up." Cassandra then proceeded to gather up the tack needed and then groaned as she saw the only saddle available "English saddles, that's just torture man…oh well Cass you need to get to that Madame Lourina's place and fast." Cassandra hummed a Cradle tune as she saddled up her new friend Varekai #how one can hum a Cradle tune is beyond me hehe# She gave him a good pat for staying still then got on him. "Ok boy lets get the hell outta here! With a gentle kick they were off to their destination
