Sonaja walked to the edge of the stream to watch the horses there. She didn't feel like talking to them but she wanted to start connecting names with faces. She stood hidden in the shadows. She watched a mare and stallion, the mare's name she found was Ariel, the stallion Apollo. As she was watching she saw large cuts on the mares side. The first thing that came to mind was barb-wire. She had seen a horse once with cuts like that from barb-wire. The horse had been fine and the cuts were almost healed when he came up sick and died three days later. She shutterd at the memory. Well, those cuts couldn't be from barb-wire, not out here, probably just some thorns. And the mare looked fine. A thought nagged at her, the other horse had looked fine too up until those last three days. There had seemed to be nothing wrong, the scars were barely visible then he he just up and got sick and died. So sad. Tjose cuts couldn't possibly be from barb-wire, could they? She left the stream quickly. It was none of her business and she shouldn't have been spying anyway.
