burn down everything; any - Leokadia - 09-07-2018 When your mother flies away you don't have much opportunity to chase after her. She looked right at me before she took wing. Saw me. I have not been on this Earth for very long. I can run and jump and speak in complete sentences but I cannot fly. Even if my wings had fully feathered and I had mastery of them I never could have caught her. When she first left me I stayed in the snowy clearing and waited. I made not a sound, like a fawn in the thicket. I estimated how long she would be and then doubled it so it would be like a surprise when she came back earlier than expected. There was never a surprise return, only me alone in a clearing full of whiteness and soft birdsong. Before night fell I picked a direction and walked. My mother wasn't coming back. She had threatened as much before, even left me for hours at a time until I was hungry and half frozen. It was winter and I was burdensome and slow to grow. She had other things to do. Moving kept me warm. My wings lacked the longest and strongest of their flight feathers but they did serve to keep the oft falling snow off my back. When it started to get dark I found a quiet place beneath some heavy branches where a bed full of warm decaying pine needles and leaves waited to soil my creamy white coat as I slept. The snow could not reach this ground but piled up on the branches above to insulate my little nest a little more. I did not wonder if I would wake in the morning. I tucked my pink hooves beneath my belly and nestled my chin to the soft skin of my chest. I welcomed sleep. Somewhere in time I looked back at this moment and was grateful for a young flexible mind that could drift off into despite being so utterly alone and undeniably at risk. One day I would refuse to ever be as vulnerable as on this night.

"Okay." The cremello child replied and with that contract between them she came all the way out of her hiding place. Once in the open she raised her small wings up and shook them out with a few lopsided flaps and scratched her little face on her foreleg. Raising her head again, Lo eyed Jayhawk with childish suspicion, though she had already adopted the mare as her own. "How? Where are they?" She asked, wondering why the foals that would be here "soon" were not already with them. Did all mothers leave their children in places alone for long periods of time? Her birth mother had seemed to be irregular in this but maybe it was a common behavior. She did not understand the concept of pregnancy and birth, of course. she's an arsonist in her pastime @[Jayhawk] :] RE: burn down everything; any - Jayhawk - 09-19-2018 Jay smiled at the cremello filly as she listened to her. The hybrid mare looked at the young one and said "I will be birthing them soon. You will also have an older adoptive brother and a cousin. If you may follow me I shall show you where I live." The palomino girl was excited to give this young girl a home with a couple other foals to play with. She wasn't sure how the young one would like her new home. That is if she decided to follow her to her home and hopefully the filly would like it there. @[Leokadia] |
