~Skyherd~ A wild horse Roleplay

"What's bothering you?" Ares asked.

Americus sniffed. "I was forced to breed Aspen at the breeding farms here... She had a wonderful colt that we loved, but he choked on some weeds and died. Then, we adopted a filly and colt. The filly is still alive, but the colt was trampled to death by some nasty stallion. I was gone when it happened... And now I haven't seen Aspen for the longest time..." He sighed. "I'm such a failure."

Ares looked at him. "I'm sorry," He told Americus before saying: "But your not a failure just because of that."
He sighed. "If anything else,I'm a failure."

Gemma stood firmly where she was. Never in her life had she felt so rebellious, set against her mother's decision. It was as if a dam had broken, a new way of thinking had opened to her, and she reveled in it while at the same time recoiling with guilt. "Mommy," she nuzzled her. "I'm here and I'm not leaving. I love you, and it would be a very bad way of showing it if I just left you right now."

"I know you don't Gemma..." She whispered. "Though I know you tried. I can tell you want to leave me, and you are." She sighed. "At least we had good times, Gemma...." She said, crying as the foal was out. She started licking it. Shadow reached her head in, and nudged Gemma into her stall. "Hi Gemma." She smiled, nuzzling her.

Gemma was stricken, her eyes wide. What was her mother saying? "No," she said, horrified. "No, I love you mommy, I always have," she backed away, frightened that her mother would even be saying these words to her. At the touch of Shadow, she turned around, smiling at her weakly before turning back to her mother and the new foal. Even the sight of a new brother or sister could not cheer her up.

Layla tried hard to believe it. "It's okay..." She whispered. "You won't get in trouble... And you don't have to pretend". "Gemma, maybe you should come nap." Shadow said softly.

Pretend? Pretend that she loved her own mother? For a moment Gemma gaped, tears forming in the corners of her eyes, but she wiped them away hurriedly. "I understand, mother," she whispered, hearing Layla's delighted murmurs to her new foal. "I understand." Even naive Gemma could hear that Layla was happy with her new foal, happier than she could ever be with a blind, weak little filly like herself. With a sigh, she gave one last smile at Layla, and climbed into Shadow's stall. She hoped that Layla's new family would give her more pleasure, and less pain, than she had.
