Astra's dark wings screamed at her as she held them close to her, the ache causing her to tremble, along with the cold air that bit at her skin. The cold was becoming especially uncomfortable on her new scars, the flesh there no longer covered by her pale coat. She trembled and shivered, but did not try to run, as she did not have the strength in her to move that quickly now. The ache in her body did not fade, and she didn't know how to soothe it, though she suspected keeping her limbs that were only recently returned to her so tense was not helping with the pain.
Her eyes were glued to the stallion as he backed up, filled with fear as her heart raced; but, then he spoke again, and this time it felt as though his words had slapped her in the face. For whatever reason, those words awakened a feeling within her, one not too far from the fear she had already rediscovered.
"I need to know you're alright." The final part stuck with her, causing silence to hang in the air for a moment before the feeling finally clawed its way out of wherever it had been hidden, and she felt like her insides crumbled within that moment. Tears flooded her eyes and she began to sob in earnest, her cries wracking her already shaking body as the heavy droplets began to fall into the snow below her. She was alone, she had no idea where her mother was, or if she was even still alive, and she felt as though she'd been tossed through a nightmare, it had left her scarred in many ways; and now, she realized that within that fear that ate at her now, she felt so deeply saddened by her inability to do anything about any of it.
"I'm scared." She whispered, the sadness coating her voice thickly, as her gaze fought to stay focused on the other pegasus through her tears.
