Note to all! My Dad just got another job so I can use the computer again! Woo Hoo! That means more updates for y'all!

Disclaimer: I just got a letter saying I get to own one of the Titans! wait...the letter actually says "Ha ha you fool. We lied."... Darn... Ok so on with the story!

Starfire was nudged in the side. Her eyes fluttered a bit, but the she opened them to see a gray face staring at her. She startled, but then remembered that she was with the herd.

Dashow snorted. "Didn't mean to scare you. But its dawn, and were leaving soon. You should eat something." She then left to a patch of grass and began grazing.

Starfire stretched her neck. Sleeping while standing wasn't the most comfortable thing to do. Also she hadn't gotten a good night sleep either. She kept having dreams of her friends being followed by a mysterious shadow that couldn't be seen.

Suddenly, a small weight ran into her hind legs. She looked back to see a little brown colt, which had run into her. Starfire neighed a greeting.

The colt snorted. "Sorry"

Starfire nodded. "It is all right"

The colt stood there as if he wanted to say something. On of his ears flicked back in embarrassment.

Finally he spoke. "You weren't umm...born to feed human mutts were you?"

Starfire snorted. "I was not. What has made you say that?"

The colt lowered is head. Behind him a group of foals and mares were snickering. It was obvious that they were spreading rumors about Starfire. The colt in front of her looked really embarrassed.

"I...I'm sorry." he said, "They just sent me over here and..."

One of the mares came. "Meeko get away from that! You don't know where it's been." She herded the little colt away, while glaring at Starfire.

Dashow trotted up. "Don't listen to them. They're always thistle-hooves when a new mare is around." She shook her mane. "Really I think they're jealous. You're still young, and already you have stallions after you."

Starfire lowered her head. "I did not ask to be here."

"They'll lighten up after a while. You just have to ignore them."

Just then they heard a neigh. All heads turned to see Inameron shaking his head with energy. "We're leaving now." He said. He turned and started at a slow pace. The mares and foals followed.

Soon their pace quickened, and after a while they were almost at a gallop. Starfire looked behind her. Every step they took pulled her further away from her friends. She sighed. Would she ever see them again?

After running for about half the day, the herd stopped by a pond. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up, so Inameron said that they would take a brake before moving again.

Starfire had grazed a bit, and drank some, but she wasn't that hungry. Frankly she was just sad. She wished that none of this had ever happened. What if they had never went to stop Mumbo? If they had waited until he left the fair and then stopped him, then perhaps she would be in Titans Tower right now.

Suddenly behind her she heard a squeal. She turned to see that it was just a couple of foals, playing by a copse of trees on a hill. A larger of the group had knocked Meeko over.

He got up, and they were playing again. They trotted, and bucked, and chased each other. Soon their mothers called them back. The foals snorted but came. Meeko was last in line.

Suddenly Starfire saw something moving in the copse. She saw the glint of its eyes. By the outline of its shape it was definitely not a horse. Its eyes focused on Meeko, alone.

Then it jumped out revealing itself to be a cougar. Meeko squealed in fright, but he was not fast enough to out run the cat. His mother and the others were too far away to help.

When the foal gave up and thought he was doomed, a thump was heard. Starfire had run in, and used her front legs to kick the cat. It fell, but it jumped back up and growled, facing Starfire.

Then it lunged at her, but she wheeled and kicked it with her back legs. The cougar leaned away from her back hooves. It landed in front of her, and swiped a paw at her face. She snapped her teeth and almost bit it.

The cougar slipped to her behind and jumped on her back, before digging in his claws. Starfire bucked several times, but the animal would not release its grip. Finally Starfire rolled onto her back. Her thousand pound body crushed the cougar.

Starfire got up and faced the cat on the ground. It got up and hissed. Starfire took her front hoof and smacked it in the face. The blow seemed to finish it, for the cougar gave one final hiss of hate and frustration, before running away.

Starfire heard horses coming up behind her. She turned to see Inameron, Meeko, and a mare who seemed to be Meeko's mother.

"What happened?" Inameron asked.

Meeko jumped in. "The others and I were playing, when mom called me back. The others had left, so I started walking, when a cougar jumped out of the trees. I thought he was going to eat me, but then Starfire came up and saved me."

His mother then began nuzzling him. She turned to Starfire. "I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier. You have the thanks of me and my colt, and I'm sure Pegasus honors you for your bravery." With that she moved Meeko to a safe spot in the center of the herd.

Starfire was confused. "How can a constellation see me? The stars are not even out yet."

Inameron snorted. "I can tell you haven't been in a herd who has explained this. But we have a moment before we have to leave again. Let me tell you."

"Pegasus does visit the constellation, but really he lives here, with us. He watches each one of us, from the newborn foal, to a sleeping elder, and he cares for all of us. When a horse dies, they grow wings like his and join his herd."

Starfire shook her mane. "Can you see Pegasus?"

Inameron nodded. "Sometimes he shows himself. It has been known that when a significant event occurs, or is about to occur, he drops a feather. Each of his feathers mean a different thing, according to the color patterns."

Starfire was suddenly alert. "Tell me, what color are his wings?"

"It's all different. Some of the feathers are mostly black, and others are mostly white. The most common seen is black with white at the tip."

Starfire's curiosity strengthened. "What does that color of feather mean?"

Suddenly Inameron looked at the sky. "The sun is on the move. We must leave again if we are to make it to the mountains by nightfall." He began to trot away, but then he turned back. "Starfire, I have a question. You fought the cougar, and yesterday when I found you. You would protect my herd wouldn't you?"

Starfire was surprised by the question. "I...have protected my old home. We protected the innocent from the villains. I would be doing the same by protecting your herd. Why do you ask me that?"

Inameron grunted. "It's for an important decision I have to make. I'll tell you later." And with that he ran to the front of the herd and sounded the leaving call. They gathered and pressed forward.

Starfire gave one last glance behind her again. The feather they found at the lake. She was certain. It had belonged to Pegasus. That meant that he was watching her friends. She knew that wherever they went Pegasus would guide them to her.

Robin jumped over a particularly large rock. Cyborg just went around it. It had been like this for a while. They would come across some obstacle that it would just be easier to avoid, but Robin had to take the short cut, as if every five seconds counted.

Of course this would be a whole lot easier with the T-Car. Cyborg missed it. He had no idea what had happened to it, since he was turned into a horse. The thought of Gizmo ravaging the city again with his baby kept filling his mind.

And then there was BB. They hadn't seen him or Raven since last night, and Cyborg still thought that splitting up was a really bad idea. But it was all in the past now. Going back and looking for them would be a bad idea for him and Robin.

Then another log came up. Cyborg veered away, and Robin jumped. But unexpectedly, his hoof tripped on a tiny branch. Robin fell to the ground.

"Yo Robin, you ok?" Cyborg called.

Robin snorted. "I'm fine." Then he got up and began walking faster. Cyborg shrugged and continued walking. For a few hours more they walked. But as they did, the sky seemed to darken. Soon it began to rain, and the wind picked up.

Robin snorted. The rain would wash away the tracks, and if they didn't hurry they would lose the trail for good. "Hurry!" he yelled to Cyborg.

Cyborg didn't hurry. In fact he didn't even move. He just stared back. "ROBIN," he yelled above the rising wind, "I THINK WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM!"

Both horses turned and looked. Behind them the wind had picked up for a good reason. And it struck fear into everything that saw it, for just a few miles behind the two horses was a cyclone.

I decided to be evil. I left a cliffie! Now if you want to know what happens next sooner, then...review!
