*~*Chapter Six- Surprising Decisions*~*
Ice didn't seem to hear the voice, but I did. I quickly turned around and was face-to-face with Star Dance. I took a step back, and I could feel rocks slip out from underneath my hoof, and she kept walking towards me.
"Magick Thunder, my son, what are you doing? I know that you are confused, and mourning. Though you never knew Devil's Remedy, your father, you loved him. Look at all the beautiful mares you have! My son, you are the strongest of them all! You will battle the other stallions, and you will win. Ice, Poison, Midnight's Angel, Chesapeake, and Dream will all be your mares! Give yourself time to see your greatness. I'm proud of you, Magick," she said. Then, before I could react, she disappeared. Ice was looking at me, concerned.
"Are you OK, Magick?" she asked gently. I nodded slowly, and she smiled playfully at me.
"Race?" she asked. I grinned.
"Are you really challenging me? With my lines? I'll bet your sorry rear! But, come on, let's race. LOSER!" I yelled playfully. We were off, the clattering of our hooves thundering in our ears as we tore down the structure. We reached the grass, and, without missing a beat, tore through the forest, Ice always at my head. But that was only because I was giving her a break. I put on a burst of speed and flew past her. I could hear a faint snort, and she too put on a burst of speed and caught up to me. Our manes were blowing all over, but it was great fun. One minute I was racing next to her, the next minute she fell back and I was running alone, hearing her faint calls. I turned my head back and saw her big blue (A/N see? BLUE! Lol) eyes were wide with fear. I looked back to see what she was afraid of, and, before I knew what was happening, there was something soft around my neck. I was face to face with one of those two-legged creatures, and his eyes held calm and determination. He looked directly into my eyes. My mind screamed at me to run, but my body was frozen. I could feel something warm against my neck, and he slowly stepped forward. I moved with him, beyond my control. I was in a trance-like state. He was about to lead on a big, loud thing that smelled funny and did not look at all welcoming (A/N it's a trailor), but he was knocked down. By...SLATE? YES! Slate had...saved me? There was fierce anger in his eyes, and he trampled him, screaming his battle cry. Two of the other two-leggers rushed at Slate, and, after taking it off me, threw that horrid thing around his neck. He screamed and reared, and brought his hooves down hard on the creature. Strange noises were coming from what I guess was their mouths, and I think I heard something like 'the Black'. They got Slate off the him. He was dead. I could smell blood, mixed with his fear, and it made me sick. They got Slate into the big thing and, before they could close the door, he looked at me. He looked happy that they had him and not me. I was puzzled. Before I could do anything the door was closed, and Slate was gone. Ice appeared next to me. She nuzzled my neck.
"Come on, let's go back," she said. I glared at her.
"No! Slate saved my life! I have to save his," I retorted.
