Sorry it's taken so long to add another chapter! My friend has been
bothering me to add chapters to my Pirates of the Caribbean fanfiction, and
she's paying me a dollar a chapter, and I added 5, so I get 5 bucks and
she's busy for a while... LoL. Onto the story now, HAHAHA!
I looked at him quizzically. We ran back, and connected with the side of the building, full force. There was a loud crack, and Slate pushed against the weakened wall, and he stood before us. The stallion looked at him, and me, his brown eyes shining. The humans were coming, and we tried to bolt, but the red stallion kept us still.
"They will not see us." The men went crazy when they saw that Slate wasn't there, but didn't see us, to our amazement. They got back in the big smelly thing and drove off. The red stallion decided to introduce himself to us.
"My name is Devil's Remedy," he said. I took a step back, and glared at him.
"You're sick," I snapped. Slate was looking at me quizzically, but I was glaring at the red stallion. He smiled at me.
"Magick Thunder, I'm your father."
"Prove it," I growled.
"Son, I know about Lilypad. She is my niece. Her father is my brother, Hellfire. He is jealous of you, because he sees how powerfully you've been built, and he is afraid that you will overtake him. He is also Midnight Angel's father, that is why they look so much alike. Her mother was Lily's mother's sister. Her name was Midnight Rain, and her sister, Lily's mother, was Midnight Storm. Midnight Rain always called her a little storm. That's how she got her name. I know of your rivalry with Slate, and I'm proud of you for coming here and rescuing him. Do you need more?" he asked patiently. I shook my head. I stepped up and wrapped my neck in my father's. Slate was just watching us disbelievingly. We unwrapped necks, and he looked straight into my eyes.
"Son, when you and Slate go back to the herd, follow the biggest Star you see. It will lead you home," he instructed me. I nodded, and, all too soon, he was gone. Slate was gaping at me, openmouthed. I smiled at him and told him to come along. It was now dark outside, and I looked into the sky and saw a big, shiny star. I followed it, Slate trotting lazily next to me. Finally, after what seemed like hours, he asked to stop. I gladly agreed, and we nibbled at a patch of grass in awkward silence.
"Magick Thunder, who was that you were talking to back there?" Slate asked suddenly. I looked up at him and sighed.
"I was talking to...myself. Yeah. That's it. I was talking to me," I replied. Slate shrugged, and we continued nibbling. Finally, we were both ready to move on. We trotted slowly down the dusty road, and Slate decided to talk again.
"Magick, thanks for coming to get me."
"It's...no problem. Really. Um... can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"You just did," he retorted. I sighed and looked back at him. He laughed.
"I'm just joking. Go ahead." I smiled at him.
"How come you risked yourself for me?" I asked. He came up next to me, and we fell in step with one another.
"Magick, you're well built. Very well built. And strong! I knew that you could lead the herd better than I can. They were about to capture you! I could not let that happen. You're the born leader of the herd, Magick, and I had to save you, even if it meant letting them catch me. But I must say, I am glad you came and got me. They kept hitting me with that thing, man does that sting!" I laughed. Slate smiled at me, and we trotted farther in silence. Were Slate and I becoming friends? I looked over at him, and he smiled at me. He was very powerful himself. I noticed, a bit guiltily, that some of the wounds I had inflicted on him had left scars. He saw me looking.
"Magick, don't worry about that. You fought fair. I shouldn't have challenged you in the first place. I knew there was no way I could win against you." All of a sudden he stopped, and so did I.
"Magick, what do you say we put out differences behind us and just move on? Like mature horses?" he asked. I smiled at him.
"You have a deal." We trotted along some more, making idle chitchat, but really just trying to find our way home. We came across a stream, and welcomed the rest, as well as the cool drink. When we had quenched our thirst, we continued on our way. It was getting to be light out now, so Slate and I quickly found refuge in a very long, thick forest. We needed to stay there until sunset, because that's when the stars would come out again. We took turns sleeping, and, when it was my turn again, I fell asleep quickly, only to be awoken about five minutes later by Slate. I looked at him groggily, but that's when the sound of hoof beats met my ears. I listened closely, and I heard voices. One, a soft, sweet voice, was now talking.
"But what if he didn't find him! What if they caught him, too?! What if... oh, geez, what if I lost him!" the voice was crying now. Another soft, soothing voice took up talking.
"You didn't lose him, Ice, don't think like that. We will find Slate, AND Magick Thunder. There is nothing to worry about, honey. I'm sure they are both fine."
"Angel, are you sure?" said a frightened voice, which seemed to be cracking.
"Yes, Dream, I'm sure," said a reassuring voice.
"Angel, you're the best girlfriend a colt could have," said the first male voice we could hear. Then came a playful whicker.
"Oh, really? I think Chesapeake is better," said another male voice, which was who the whicker had come from.
"Excuse me, but can we stop for a while? My fillies are getting tired," said a mature female voice, "and I see some nice woods over there." The hoof beats stopped, and then there was rustling. I felt a painful nip in my shoulder, and Slate tucked behind a large boulder. I joined him. We looked out and, to our amazement, Midnight's Angel, Ice, Poison, Chesapeake, Dream, Copper, Phantom, Moonshine, Midnight Raven, and Black Sunshine all pushed their way into the woods. The twins immediately laid down, exhausted. Their mother laid down next to them. Ice and Dream were busy worrying, and Midnight's Angel was telling them that everything was OK. Phantom had his neck around Angel's, and Copper and Chesapeake were whispering to each other, love very present in their eyes. Poison was just standing there, her head held high.
"I smell him," she stated. No one heard her, so she said it again, louder this time.
"I smell him." Ice and Dream turned to her.
"Who?" they asked in unison.
"Magick," was her reply. She took small, careful steps, so as not to lose my scent in the air. Ice and Dream followed closely, eyeing her hopefully, and looking around. She came upon the boulder, and gave one final sniff.
"He's here." Ice and Dream both snapped, and ran to the other side of the boulder, and there we were. They both practically pounced on me, whuffing noses with me, wrapping their necks in mine, squealing like a pair of newborn piglets. Finally, that was over, and I stepped out. Phantom's neck was immediately gone from around Angel's neck, and he was reared in front of me. He was just so excited that I was OK. Copper smiled at me from beside Chesapeake. I whuffed noses with my aunt, and looked at my adorable little sleeping cousins. That's when I heard another pair of hoof beats. They must have heard the girls squealing, because they wasted no time in coming down. One, a tall, muscular bay stallion with a large white star on his head, and a younger one, about our age, maybe a little older, who was a paint. He was white, with caramel poured all over him.
"My name is Star," the bay snapped. Chesapeake giggled, but stopped when he sent a piercing glare her way. She snuggled closer to Copper.
"This is my son. His name is Pierce. I cannot care for him any longer. Please, I ask you to care for him," Star said. I nodded.
"Follow me," he said. He turned, and began to trot down through the trees. We shared a glance, and followed him. My aunt Moonshine was a little sluggish, because my cousins didn't appreciate being woken up after such a short break and were being a little bratty. Finally, they just sauntered along, and, two days later (we stopped for my cousins a lot, and finally Slate decided to carry one of them on his back, and Star carried the other,) we were back home. How we got there, I will never know. Star said that this was where he was born, and he thought that this would be the ideal place to have a herd. On the way, I had seen that Poison was slowly falling in love with Slate. At first, she just looked at him and sighed. Now, her eyes were glazed over, and she followed him around, not really caring what her posture was like, love in her eyes. Ice, I noticed, was talking to Pierce a lot. She seemed to be falling for him. I was so jealous. I like Ice. I want her to be my lead mare. If I get the herd. I walked over to a tree, and I stood, welcoming it's shade, and thinking. I was looking out, over the herd, and then I saw that Dream was looking at me. That's when I remembered that Ice said that she was in love with me. She saw me catch her eye, and she smiled. She walked over, and she leaned against me. I blew gently on her neck.
"Magick, what's going on?" she asked. I looked at her, puzzled.
"What do you mean?" I asked. She looked at me.
"You know what I mean. What's going on between us?" she leaned in more and touched her nose to mine. "Magick, I love you. I don't know what's going on between us, if we are falling in love, or if I'm just falling more and more in love with you." I looked deeply into her gorgeous brown eyes. She had filled out, before she was this skinny thing, but now she had some more meat on her bones, and I must say she was a lot prettier. She had gotten darker, now she was more like me. I nuzzled her neck, and we just stood in silence. I was watching Ice, who had just touched noses with Pierce. Since Slate and I were now friends, he seemed to be my biggest worry. Not to mention he was a year older than the rest of us. Dream was talking to me.
"Magick? Magick, you jerk, are you even listening to me?" her eyes followed my gaze, and they landed on Ice. She gasped, and she began to cry.
"You love ICE!" she screamed. She ran away from me, looking very, very hurt and angry.
Rainbow paradise- OK um... the story, although it is about Magick Thunder who, yes, is a colt, it is called the 'Forgotten Filly' because Star Dance was the forgotten filly. Everyone forgot that the Black impregnated Precious Wonder, and, since she had Star Dance, a filly, that's where the title comes from. Also, about the father thing. In chapter four, it didn't sink in that he was dead. He was side tracked, and he was still trying to understand the concept of 'putting down.' In chapter five, she tells him again, and this time he reacts. His mind is clear, and he's angry. Also, let me tell you something. I wanted to wait until later in the story to tell people, but I think I can tell you- Magick has some hidden ability to contact the spirits of his mother and father subconsciously, and he can only do it when he really needs them. His mother appeared to him to keep him from jumping because he didn't know his father, and Magick Thunder needed gentle persuasion. I hope that cleared some things up for you.
Any more questions, please let me know. I've probably lost all my reviewers by now, but if anyone new comes around, PLEASE, feel free to review. I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye :-*
