Abigail Simons :: 20 Belle Andrews :: 18 Marilee Sanches :: 18 Travis and Noah Blake :: 20 The twins were left in the horses dust as it sped past them with ease carrying with it Theodosia, of whom both boys had almost instantly become infatuated with, both vying for her attention. Once again however they were faced with watching her back only this time, they also got stuck with watching a horses ass, Theodosia’s was much nicer to watch though. Trying to speed up so they could catch up with her as they watched her enter the town, they didn’t want her to be overwhelmed after all, well that was their excuse anyway. It seemed like a good enough excuse to them, after all they had been the ones sent to find her and induct her into the island family and they had no plans of shirking that responsibility even if that was their usual pattern. Finally they came into the town and they saw her on her horse in the middle of it, she had constructed a rough bit and reigns out of some rope and a bit of metal. There were a few people standing around looking at the new comer and her ride with interest, many of the citizens had seen that wild horse around from a great distance but never this close. That alone was enough to catch the interest of the citizens that weren’t gathered further along the road, where the twins could see another figure siting upon a horse, obviously Marilee. Anyway, seeing the horse in the town and with a rider, was fascinating enough but add a newcomer and everyone would want to know about the new girl who could tame the wildest horse around. “Impressive craftsmanship”Noah said as the two twins slowed coming closer not wanting to spook the horse anymore then the people standing around would already be doing, by running towards it. Travis was right beside his brother as they drew closer to Theodosia and the mare, but that wasn’t where they needed to be they needed to be over with the big crowd. Over with Abby, Tony and Marilee, over where they hopefully had a plan of some sort. Every now and then the pink and gray flashing still lit the sky, the spirits communicating with each other in a battle of the elements. Not one person on that island knew exactly what the flashes of light meant, maybe if they ever saved Belle they would find out, maybe she knew what they meant, even if they didn’t after all she apparently knew all the secrets of the island wouldn’t she also know the meaning of the flashes. “That big group of people over there is the rescue party do you think she will be ok with such a big crowd?”Travis asked Theodosia referring to the mare as she did seem to still be rather skittish, and there were 50+ people crowded around Abby, Tony and Marilee. Neither of the boys wanted to walk over there themselves until they knew whether Theodosia was coming, neither offering to go and let the rescue party know they were here to help as well while the other waited with the mare and Theodosia, as neither wanted to allow the other extra time alone with her, after all that wasn’t a fair war now was it. Meanwhile over at the gathering Abby was still standing in front of everyone and it all seemed to be so unreal that all these people were willing to walk into the unknown with them to help save Belle. I mean she knew that Belle would have made an impact on all of these peoples lives but enough for these 50+ people to put themselves in harms way to save her now that was just an unreal feeling she had never known such loyalty in her life, in the city where she used to do all her forensics there was none of that, people would rat you out quickly as possible to get them off of their backs. As for standing up for a fellow mate that was non existent it was very much a place where everyone looked out for themselves and no one else mattered. It took a moment for her to react when the phone went of inside the ute and before she could go and get it Tony had already read it and was explaining it to her. The south side of the island? But there was nothing there, nothing whatsoever apart form bush land, unless that was where she was being held. But then from what she had seen of this island so far that would be too simple there had to be a twist to this it couldn’t be that easy could it? Before she could really think anything through however Marilee was already itching to go. “Alright then lets get a move on, we have the man power so lets go get back out friend”She said with great energy, it was obvious she was on a mission and until they had found and rescued Belle, from whoever or whatever had taken her, she would not stand still or take a break. In a way as it began to hit home who they were looking for Abby was beginning to feel the same way, she wasn’t used to be close to the victims though this was very new to her and she was not sure if she could deal with it properly but for now she didn’t want to think about that she just needed to focus on the task at hand which right now was getting to the south side of the island. “Alright everyone we are going to need to go on foot, trying to drive through the bush land on the south side as you all know is hopeless so lets get moving we don’t want to waste any time”She said speaking loud and clear to the group of people in front of her the colour slowly returning to her cheeks now they had the next step she at least had something to do it was once they got there if they hadn’t already gotten the next instructions that it was going to be hard on her again. She started to move off down the main street ahead she could see the twins with another girl on horseback, Abby’s mind was wandering and she didn’t even think to offer to push the chair for Tony. Marilee on the other hand looked down at him, her mind working again it was going to be hard navigating his way in that thing through the bush it was rough up there. “Wanna ride, that things gonna be useless where we are going”She said flat out to him and saw from the corner of her eye as Max and a few others stepped forward slightly to help him get on the horse if he agreed after all the horse was up there and he was down there and there was no saddle. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXOver on the island Belle was slumped under a tree tied tightly but not with rope there was nothing viable holding her to the tree yet she was unable to move, held there by an unseen something. Slowly her head rose she felt like her head was full of cement, it was hard to hold up and her eyes were blurry, Andras was hovering in the background she could here him but not see him very well, he must had hit her over the head a few times, she felt something warm oozing slowly down the side of her face. After he had hit her once and brought her here he had continued to hit her demanding to know where Celeste was, but Belle would not speak, she didn’t remember a lot after being hit for the fifth time but she was pretty sure she hadn’t let Celeste down. “Your either very loyal or very stupid, all you have to do is tell me how to get to Celeste and you can leave without having to die, but if you keep being a pain I might have to do away with you, then again maybe I should just one by one take your precious friends from the island and torture them in front of you.”The ghostly male voice said behind her, she didn’t have to see his face to know exactly who he was which was likely a good thing as she couldn’t see a thing. It felt as if her eyes were all but swollen shut which if she could see herself she would have known was true, the trickle down her face came from a deep cut on her forehead that had been bleeding for some time and was starting to clog. “Your wasting your time Alex, I don’t know where to find her”She said trying to sound sincere through the grogginess of her voice. “My name isn’t Alex!”They voice behind her snapped with venom and she felt another blow to her head, she really should learn not to piss him off but she wasn’t thinking totally straight as she went in and out of consciousness from the constant heavy blows. “Oh right I forgot when you died and swore vengeance on Celeste you changed it to, oh what was it something to make you seem scarier but you know what no one knows who you are guess its not working.”She said she knew his new name of course and so did everyone else, everyone knew him as Andras not Alex, but she had known him as Alex he had hated it then and when he died and became the anti spirit he had changed it to evoke more fear into people. This time he didn’t snap back with words choosing just to kick her painfully in the ribs, she heard a cracking sound and prayed it was a twig and not her rib but from the searing pain she knew it was wishful thinking.

The thought hadn’t really crossed Tony’s mind the impossibility of getting himself through the bush while on wheels. So when Marilee suggested he ride behind her on the horse, he realized it was probably the most practical way of doing it. There was no way that he wanted to be left behind, now.
He still felt his stomach drop as he looked up at the large horse, which looked double it’s natural size from his angle in the chair. “Okay,” He hesitated, “but I want the chair brought too.”
“Wasn’t gonna suggest you leave it, son.” The policeman spoke, as Tony released his grip from his chair and allowing he and Max to take his arms and lift him out if the chair, they slung his arms over their shoulders and dragged him towards the horse. He could see many of the other people staring at them with fixed eyes, and felt his face grow red with embarrassment. Under normal circumstances he would never have allowed someone to touch him in such a manner. But he knew that it was the only way he’d be able to help save Belle.
Tony eyed the body of the horse that was now at waist level with him with growing dread. The horse stood still, but Tony knew that transferring himself onto it’s back would be much more difficult than moving to something like a chair. Steeling his resolve, he pulled himself alongside the horses flank. His heart pounding in his chest was again making itself heard and he found his world narrowing down to focus on the sound. He felt Max, and the other guy adjust their grip’s so that they held Tony up by the chest now. “Come on son, we haven’t got all day.” The cop spoke, a little impatiently. Their grip around his ribs hurt, but he was surprised by the ageing mens’ strength. Forcing himself to slow his breathing, he placed his right hand on the horses flank while he gripped one of the mens’ shoulders with his left. His heart plunged into his stomach as the horse shifted slightly beneath the pressure. “Please don’t move... please.” Tony breathed.
As his heart steadied again, Tony sucked in a desperate breath and lifted himself, with the help of the other two onto the saddle in one quick motion.
The area around them was suddenly bathed in another unearthly glow of light that exploded from the clouds. The horse snorted nervously and pawed the ground, anxious to move. The sudden shift nearly sent Tony toppling backwards, but he made a last minute grab for Marilee’s waist, blushing slightly as he pulled back, realizing his move.
Tony forced himself to recover quickly. He had already wasted too much time. Hesitantly, he sat up a little straighter and clutched his right leg. Slowly, so as not to startle the horse, he lifted the immobile limb and brought it over to the other side of the saddle.
Though fear refused to release its hold over his heart, a small smile threatened to break from the corner of his lips. He was sitting on a horse! He couldn’t feel where his legs touched the horse’s flanks. It was as if one had become an extension of the other, like the centaurs of Greek mythology. It was completely different than his wheelchair. Though he knew he was still entirely dependent on the horse to move, and Marilee’s guidance, Tony felt free somehow. It felt almost natural. Under other circumstances, he would have enjoyed himself, a rarity of late. Tony spared a glance at his watch. It had been a little less than an hour since he arrived. They had to get going.
“Thanks, Mr...?”
“Will Whittier.” He reached up to shake Tony’s hand. “I’ll take good care of the chair for you.”
“Tony.” He accepted Will’s offered appendage, offering a terse smile. “Thanks.”
Will returned the smile in kind, folded up the chair and held it under his arm. “Now, let’s get moving!” He was in authoritarian mode now as he rose his voice above the crowd. A few of them actually flinched as they began to make their way towards the direction of the beach.
So they where off now, on their way to save Belle.

It had not occurred to her that people this many would become so crowded. Solita were shaking her head rather nervously, tail flicking and she could feel the easing and uncomfortable feeling of Theo. She tightened the reins only slightly but enough to feel every tension that ran through the beautiful painted mare’s body. Both mare and female flinched hearing a sudden voice and she turned to look at the twins. Amber eyes were narrowed before they were closed, eased down and tension faded. ”I can be at the back, Sanctuary of Feathers isn’t used to this kind of crowd. Don’t worry about me, go with them you two.” Gentle smile caressed her lips and legs nudged the equine forward. She sat perfectly on the bare back and followed the mare’s elegant and smooth stride without any hesitation. Ears were perked forward as she got into a high and proud gait without bothering of the others. She knew she was special and unique in ever other way of these tamed horses. Oh both Theo and Solita knew that people were thinking wrong, Solita had decided to become ridden but when this task was completed she would be set free and only know of this girl as the one saving her life and riding her to perfection.
They got in the back, not knowing anyone but yet they did. She completed the task at the back, but was careful not to put anyone near the mare. Her ears were perked but now and then flicked to feel the pressure on the reins easing her down into a walk. With her head in a high bow she stepped into the line, every pressure that exceeded her beauty the palomino paint horse kept her pressure low and her speed was shown to fit every direction. Theo lay her head down low so that to tell the mare to follow them. If the mare followed the path she would not get that easily hurt. While doing so she could think. Think of why she had forgotten about her past, why she had come to this land and why, why had she met those two guys? They were the hottest people she had met here and somehow, she had a feel she had never met anyone else in the whole world being hotter of them either.
She was not bi, no it was quiet the opposite. She was straight, straight as it could be ad proud of it. She wasn’t a girl to be insulted for taken as a lesbian or a bi, hell why would she? No instead she was a young British and rather hot girl, her curves were gently put. Her eyes of dark amber rather cautious and her long straight caramel brown and blonde striped hair danced more in a dance than anyone else. An angel many would have called her and right now she looked like it. Whispering in Latin to the mare’s ears she seemed to be like a spellbound creature, both of them actually and yet this was not the truth. She knew how to handle equines, she had been born in a barn, and she knew that seeing as though she somehow could understand the mare’s distress with crowds. Minor things was yet to settle as she calmed down little by little until the mare completely relaxed eased her gait once again and followed the speed at no rate at all. ”Let us show them what we’re good for love.” The whisper was almost like a pray but they both knew better, they were one.

Abigail Simons :: 20 Belle Andrews :: 18 Marilee Sanches :: 18 Travis and Noah Blake :: 20 With Tony securely on the back of the horse behind Marilee, she smiled knowingly as he grabbed for her waist he was obviously not used to being on a horse, even before he couldn’t use his legs. She thought to herself as she moved Satoria into an even walk to allow him time to get used to being on the horse and considering there was no saddle for either of them to sit on any faster then a walk was maybe not such a good idea. It didn’t take long however until Satoria was walking calmly with her load beside Abby who with long sure steps was heading into the bush toward the south side of the island and the small beach there, followed by the group of 50+ people. The twins were bringing up the rear just in front of the new arrival Theodosia on her mount. There was only one reason they were walking with the crowd and not with her, and that was because she had asked them not too and both wanted to show that they had actually listened to her and respected it. Though they were both continually looking back over their shoulders at the beautiful being floating along behind the mob on the gorgeous horse. The bush was cooler then in the town and it was starting to get cold fast but as Abby powered on ahead leading the group she didn’t seemed fazed by the growing cold. Her white lab coat the one piece of clothing that made her stick out in the growing darkness, other then that her all black clothes hair and tattoo’s made her blend in with the blackness of the tree’s. Marilee was watching her from up on the horse as it picked its way through the trees as well, all she said was the occasional ‘duck’ when Satoria walked under a tree with low hanging branches. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXIt took half an hour for the large group to move through the tightly packed trees and onto the small less used south side beach. There had been small amounts of small talk throughout the group but nothing significant if they were anything like Abby their minds were on other things, Abby for instance had her mind focused on the phone in her hand, waiting for it to go off was making her crazy. Finally as the twins and the new girl on the horse were the last to walk onto the beach that was now crowded, the phone beeped. Flipping it open she read the text and a frown crossed her face, the text message made no sense what so ever, all it said was walk into the ocean, how could that help them? “What’s it say?”That was Marilee “Walk into the ocean”Abby said still highly confused as she turned around and looked out into the ocean with a sigh she stepped into the water but to her surprise the water rose up either side and stayed there leaving a passage to what looked like a door at the end. Looking back slightly she took another step and then another, sure the water was going to stay where it was with no idea how she began to pick up the pace as she walked toward the door, it didn’t take Marilee long to follow on the mare with Tony behind her.

Tony relaxed his grip around Marilee’s waist only slightly as she led Santoria through the forest, weaving through the trees. He could hear the low, almost inaudible tones of people talking amongst themselves from the people behind him. He couldn’t make it out but it was clear that most of them where scared. He was scared, and he was sure that Marilee and Abby where scared as well.
None of the trio uttered a word as they lead the others through the forest towards the beach, apart from the occasional ‘duck’ from Marilee as Santoria weaved through the trees, and underneath low hanging branches. He made sure to keep a firm grip around Marilee’s waist so that when she ducked, he did to, feeling some of the branches comb through his hair. He looked down several times to make sure that he was still seated in a safe position, and then once he was satisfied that he was, his green eyes would survey the foliage around him. He glanced down as something white caught his eye and flinched with surprise as he realized that it was Abby walking beside them. With the growing darkness, and her ebony clothing, it was virtually impossible to see her. At first glance all it looked like was a lab coat floating beside them!
The forest grew colder as time ticked by, and Tony was grateful for the jacket that he was wearing. It fit snugly around his torso on top of a beige shirt. He was also wearing faded blue jeans, and black and red sneakers. He couldn’t be bothered changing into pyjamas earlier that night, and he was glad for that. How odd would it have been for him to be going on a rescue, riding on a horse in his night wear?
Tony could smell the salt before he could see the beach, and a tight knot pulled around his stomach when he realized that they where finally there. Beside them now, Tony could see a few of the people standing close to the shore, the foam of the water tugging at their pants as the salted water washed in and out of the beach.
He could see the fullness of the moon above them, and the glassy reflection it made across the waters surface, then as Abby approached the water he heard the familiar beeping of the phone. Marilee beat him to asking her what it said.
”Walk into the ocean” Abby only spoke loud enough for a few of the people up front to hear. The rest passing it on like a game of chinese-whispers.
“Wait. What?” Abby’s words took a moment to register in Tony’s head before his eyes widened, and a moment later Marilee and the others started to follow Abby. It was one thing getting him on a horse but walking into the ocean! Nuh uh!
Abby turned towards the water and uttered an audible sigh before she took a tentative step onto the water. Then another, and another. Seeing it, almost reminded him of the story of the biblical Moses, when he asked God to divide the waters so that he and the Israelites could cross the Red Sea. He almost expected Abby to yell “Let my Belle go!” as the water either side of her rose up like a tunnel with each descending step she took. His mouth agape, Tony stared as Abby continued to tread as if walking carefully down a flight of stairs.
He whimpered and tightened his grip around Marilee’s waist again as she then started to follow after Abby. As they walked down the watery path, a magnificent wooden door at the end of the tunnel came into view. He craned his head to look back to see if the others would follow. Behind him, he could see that there where already about two dozen people following closely behind them while many of the others shook their heads, and stepped back while only a few others started their decent.
“Chickens.” He looked at the ones who stayed behind, scornfully.
He turned back to look around him and his breath caught in his throat at the sight around him. It reminded him of some sort of aquarium: The one where you’d stand on the conveyor belt and watch the sharks, and sting rays swimming over your head. Only in this one he could see schools of small fish, as well as some slightly bigger fish swimming around. Because of the darkness most of what he saw was hard to make out. He slackened his grip again and reached out his right hand to touch one of the walls. His fingers skimmed across the watery surface, causing little splashes of water to fall onto his sleeve. Pulling his hand back, he rubbed his fingers together, looking around in wonder. Then they arrived at the door.

They felt the shill run down their spines but Theo had noticed how the twins looked back at her and giggled lightly. One of the walkers came beside her, it was but a rather petite female and she stared at the pair in awe. ”What spell did you cast on her?” The question made the girl laugh. ”Spell? On Solita? None.”[/i] There was a pause as she seemed to be thinking what to answer next. Theodosia looked forward again before she heard another question, or was t perhaps an insult. ”Then what kind of witch are you? Because not only did you win Solita, you also won the twins. Know how hard I’ve tried to get their attention!?” Theodosia didn’t fail to notice the hatred in this young girl’s voice and looked at her rather sharply, to be her at least. ”Well listen here young lady, I’m no witch. I wonder how long your mind has been insane though. Solita came of her own free will, I just saved her. And beside, they are guys, it’s how they are. They go for the first beautiful thing they can spot and hang there for a while to see how interesting it is.”[/i] With that she led the mare forward and onto the beach rather flustered by the rude comments from that girl. But even so her heart was bleeding; she didn’t know what to do. If both the twins were in love with her what should she say? She’ll hurt one of them either way if she fell in love with the other one. Oh god! She hated this. Sighing deeply Solita halted with a sudden heap to the side as to be frightened and was anxious again. She whispered so ever softly in the mare’s ear until she noticed the scene.
There were no wonder that the mare was anxious, just looking at the scene made her nervous. The water subsided to the sides and most denied walking through, meaning almost the whole group. She shook her head at the group, and they wanted to save Belle. She hardly knew the girl and she was gong to saver her, what did that make her? Not a hero, just a, saviour? Yes, a saviour of course. Or rescuers, depending on the fact you want to tell about. But looking at this fact was not hard though as she felt confident enough that the water would not spread over their bodies. Solita hesitated, flicking her ears as she didn’t like this but Theodosia was calm and gentle as she whispered the mare in her ear several times in Latin. Snorting gently she made a cautious step forward, then another and finally got on track again. The mare looked around at the ones that were still with them from the large group and noticed the other horse in front of them but didn’t make any sign to go and greet. To be a wild horse she was quiet independent but had settled down just as they came in front of the door. She looked at the rest, the female wondered though, what was going to happen now.[/color][/size][/font]

Abigail Simons :: 20 Belle Andrews :: 18 Marilee Sanches :: 18 Travis and Noah Blake :: 20 Abby was cautious as she walked down the tunnel leading to the oversized wood door at the end that would quite easily fit two horses with riders side by side, but there was no doorknob on the door. She hardly noticed the fish floating effortlessly in the water all around them her eyes focused on the door, her mind on the improbability of it all. It defied all of the scientific knowledge she had and she knew about every form of science and this couldn’t be explained by any of it. It seemed ever more now that nothing on or about this island could be rationally explained, and to tell you the truth it was getting on her last nerve she was used to being able to explain everything. A few tests was all it took and she could recreate an entire crime scene and tell you exactly what happened, when, how and with what but she was lost here, nothing was the same. “What are you waiting for you gutless losers, you come all this way to sit on a dark beach, when the girl who helps all of you gutless wonders on a regular basis is in trouble!”Travis called out to the group that had stopped on the beach and refused to go any further as he and Noah pushed there way through the group and into the front of them. Ready to follow the others down to at could very well be their watery grave, but that didn’t really cross the minds of either of the twins, there were both a couple of daredevils. “Well I guess that by time we come back with her she will know which of you don’t really appreciate what she does for the lot of you there are at least two people in the group down there that have either never or barely lain there eyes on our Belle and yet they are in there ready to help, yet most of you have lived here most of your lived watched her grow up and you stand on the beach and do nothing.”Noah continued as they arrived at the front of the gathering, they could both see that their words were making everyone feel guilty but they didn’t know if any of them would change there mind. Before they ran off down the watery path they both spoke together to everyone. “Hope your decision haunts you forever”Leaving it at that they turned and ran down between the watery walls toward the smaller group at the end, Abby was at the very front with Marilee and Tony on the horse behind, she was just staring at the knobless door as if lost when all of a sudden it swung open on its own accord. Beyond the door there was darkness, with a small pinprick of light in the distance, as Abby stepped forward her feet left the muddy sand of the ocean and landed on solid rock. As her eyes adjusted to the light she realized they were in a cave and the light obviously led to the outside, to where they had to go, or did it. How did they know that Belle wasn’t down one of the passages off of the main tunnel? Marilee urged Satoria to follow and soon the ones behind did too all crowding into the cave Abby jumped as the phone in her hand once again went off and she opened it the light of the phone illuminating her face in the darkness and making her seem even more ghostly. “Loose the coat, turn off the phone and follow Satoria, she will show you the way, good luck and god speed” She read this time out loud to start with as she knew she would be asked to reveal what it said either way. Looking down she knew instantly that the text meant her coat she was the only one that seemed to glow in the darkness because of it. Quickly she slipped the coat off and turned off the phone as instructed and looked around at Satoria who seemed to know that she was being spoken about. It wasn’t long after the twins bringing up the rear entered the door that the door swung shut and they heard the sound of the ocean rushing back in thrashing at the door that Satoria started toward the light without any nudging from Marilee. Abby was quick to follow behind, so far Celeste had lead them right and if she believed that Belles horse would know where to find her owner then Abby had faith too. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXIn the middle of the Island Belle was still out of it from the latest round of bashings to the head she had received from the last time she made the mistake of coming around and still gave him no answers. He sat on a tree stump a few meters away watching her, waiting until he could strike her again, it had become somewhat of a game for him he was enjoying watching the pain on her face every time he struck her, enjoying watching the inner battle she was having, trying to keep her story straight. She was winning so far, she hadn’t told him anything about Celeste’s whereabouts yet but she would, there was only so much a person could take before they blabbed.

Theodosia heard the twins talk and shook her head in disbelief. They really knew how to make people feel guilty. Seeing them come to the rear made her want a little game. She leaned forward, whispering once again but this time it was a hushed and playful whisper. Even in these kinds of situation she knew that the mare had to calm down, and the only way she could do that? Play of course! Her golden and snow head nodded eagerly. Gently, slowly like a snake she went behind them, they were standing together, good! The mare did not make a sound though as she came near them, she was used to being sneaky as always and soon enough entered behind them. Ears perked, her head lowered and suddenly her head jammed to the side pushing both of the guys down so the fell straight face in the sand. She looked down at them with an innocent mind. ”Ops! Sorry guys, Solita wanted to itch a little.” She smiled innocently and then followed the rest inside again. Hearing Abby’s voice about following the other mare Solita flicked her ears to listen as well.
I don’t like this place. She told herself in her mind and looked around in the darkness. The chill made her feel threatened and cold. It seemed so familiar, like her life was an eternal darkness. The palomino Paint felt how the emotions ran through the tense body of the female. Her ears pinned and she started pawing the ground anxious while moving to the side, knocking people sometimes. One of these people got quiet angry because of this and caught the mare’s reins recklessly and hard, which gave a shock to Solitas’ sensitive mouth. ”Hey girl! Keep that d*rned horse in position or I’ll smack you both.” The sudden voice out of nowhere made the mare flinch to the side but Theodosia kept onto her body with a surprising grace, it was only that, the male being as dumbfounded as he were, was still holding the reins. Within a second as everything happened he was taken down to the earth and made the mare loose both bit and improvised reins. He cursed heavily and suddenly, was on his way to the pair.
”You girl! Look what you did to me!” How could she see what she had done, when the only thing you could see was eternal darkness? The commotion made the mare even more nervous and she started to back up almost crashing with everyone. But this made Theodosia snap out, not in fear, in anger. ”Will you shut up? I have more control of her than you will have over five horses at once.” Her sharp voice made them just stand there for a minute, no words slipping from their mouth, well until of course, the male had to speak up. ”How rude! I’m older than you, you’re what? Seventeen? Don’t come here and talk like you want girl.” The comment made her release a laugh and from the silence she could feel their confusion. ”Seventeen? I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment or not. No my dear, I’m twenty-one so I ask of you to shut up right now.” Once again a lot of muttering but this time, she couldn’t bother. She felt the surrounding darkness again and clutched onto Solita for protection.

Tony didn’t even bother to look back as the twins yelled back at the people who chose to stay behind. He was disgusted at them. The twins where right. He barely knew Belle and yet he was willing to come along to rescue her. Most of them had known her since childhood.
Tony swallowed hard as the door in front of them swung open and Santoria took up the lead ahead of the group. It was dark and spacious inside, and all he could see was a small light at the end of the tunnel. Everyone crowded into the cavernous room, barely making a sound. Each of them where probably too afraid to. It was probably big enough to hold double, maybe even triple the amount of people that where there now - which couple probably only count about 30 now that some of them had chosen to stay behind - But it was still too dark to tell. Anthony had to blink a few times waiting for his eyes to adjust to the growing darkness before he could make anything out. Santoria’s hooves soon hit smooth rock and he sighed. At least he might be able to get off the horse now.
He saw Abby take off her lab coat, which looked grey from his potentiation above her and shivered as a breeze blew through the cave. Odd...there where no openings, and the only light, that he could see was at least a good 100 meters away. There was a slam behind them as the door closed shut and then the sound of the ocean crashing back against the wall. Well...there was no turning back now.
The sounds of Santoria’s hooves filled the silence once more as she started towards the light. There was also a commotion somewhere towards the back, but he had been far too involved in what was going on around them to really hear what they where saying. He felt another sharp frigid breeze blow through the cave again, before he heard an eerie moan surround them, followed by several others. Before he could even think to try and grab hold of anything, this time the wind was so strong that Tony’s hands actually slipped from Marilee’s waist and he yelped as he felt himself fall backwards.
“Gotcha!” There was a males voice and a moment later he felt arms around his chest. He fell backwards with an “oomph!” and felt something cushion his fall. “You okay?” The guy asked. Tony couldn’t see his face but he could tell from the tone of his voice he was fairly young, maybe about his own age.
“Yeah.” He coughed, a little winded. He was about to thank the guy when there was another series of low moans, and several other gusts of wind blowing past them. A few moments later there was a flickering of light and several torches lit up around them, illuminating the room in a fiery glow. Each of the people in the room gasped at the sight in front of them. There where pools of water on the walls, and in each one there where several grey faces. One of them flew past the policeman’s ear before diving into one of the pools of water, and a couple of others took its place, flying about the room, crying mournfully.

Abigail Simons :: 20 Belle Andrews :: 18 Marilee Sanches :: 18 Travis and Noah Blake :: 20 The twins had to pick themselves up off the ground after being knocked over by the mare, they both grinned at her ability to plot pranks even in this crisis. That was the type of girl they could respect, as they were picking themselves up they heard the commotion where their prankster match had ridden off too. They listened to her defend herself as they tried to fight there way there through the darkness as they tripped over everything you could imagine including their own feet. “Oi Frank, every thought that you’re the moron scaring the horse!”Travis said as they finally made there way to her in the darkness. “Stay out of it you pain in the ass, no one asked you.”
“Why did we bring this loser?”
“Dono Noah”
“If you two pain in the ass twins don’t shut our flabby mouths I’ll shut them for you”
“sounds like a challenge Trav”Noah said with a grin at his twin, before anyone watching could stop the twins were wrestling on the ground with the older man, before they could do too much damage to one another though the space was lit and faces started to fly around between the group moaning and groaning. The three of them stopped and stood looking around, at the groaning faces. Travis picked up the improvised bit and reigns and handed them back to Theodosia. “OK I vote we get out of this cave.”Noah said as he brushed the dirt from his clothes for the umpteenth time that day, they looked up ahead and saw that the wheelchair guy was on the ground, Will hurried forward with the wheelchair and opened it up. Abby turned back and saw Tony on the ground and with Wills help the two of them helped Tony up and into his chair whether he liked it or not. “Lets get out of here before the horses spook any more”Abby said looking around, this even scared her and her pace quickened as she wanted to get out of this place as much as anyone else, Satoria started moving again as well Marilee feeling much more comfortable without someone gripping at her waist they were the first to step out into the light. It was a relief to be out of that cave and away from the floating heads. There were standing in the bush but unlike any bush anywhere else the sky was the ocean, they must have been in a giant underwater bubble or something.

Spencer had heard rather than seen Tony falling from the back of the horse so when he jumped forwards from the group it had been by sheer luck that he’d stepped under the ginger haired man in time to catch him. A little winded, Spencer winced as he got to his feet when the room lit up, brushing off dirt from his legs and backside he watched as a policeman - He wasn’t sure of his name - rushed forwards with a folded up chair and opened it up beside the paralyzed young man.
Tony was just about to lift himself up into the chair when Will and Abby picked him up and off of the ground and helped him into a seated position. He had to bite his tongue as the words, ‘Get off me!’ came to mind but he forced himself not to lash out. It wasn’t their fault. But really, he’d been in the chair for a little over 4 months now, he could still manage to do things on his own. He wasn’t completely helpless. Maybe he had been wrong in thinking that Abby and the others could treat him equally.
The faces around them continued to moan. Floating in front of the exit of the cave. It was almost like they where trying to ward them off. Some of the faces looked oddly familiar, but he forced himself to focus on the task at hand, and firstly that was getting out, the next was finding Belle. A few moaning faces weren’t going to stop him.
He started to wheel himself out, still in front of most of the people trying to push their way out of the cave. It felt good to be able to wheel himself around again, the horse was nice but it was good to have a little independence back. With a bit more momentum, he sped up to keep up to the girls in the front.
Spencer walked a few paces ahead of the policeman who’d helped the cripple in the chair, but not too far in front either. ‘Will Whittier’ his badge read. He was probably a Chief or something.
“Hey, Ginger-guy.” Spencer called out, jogging to catch up with Tony. “So what, I don’t get a thank you or nothing?”
Tony turned his head upwards to look up at the guy, a little bemused, before he realized what he meant. It was the guy who’d caught him. He was a little older than he’d first thought. 25 to 30 years old, give or take. Pretty tall, thin, about 6”2 maybe, with short, spiked brunette hair. “Sorry,” Tony said, realizing that he had been a little rude. “I’m just a little...”
“Don’t sweat it, I was joking.” Spencer chuckled. “I’m Spencer.”
“Anthony.”
“I take it you’ve never ridden a horse before?”
“I lived in the city all my life.”
“Town?”
“”Massachusets.”
“Long Island. Let me guess...your a lawyer? You work with money? Banker?” Spencer guessed.
Tony didn’t know what how this was relevant to anything that was going on. “I hate lawyers.”
“So what do you do?” Spencer rephrased the question.
“IT Forensics.”
“So your a computer geek! I should have known.” Spencer shook his head grinning.
“Let me guess.” Tony surveyed Spencer for a moment before turning his head back, looking up ahead. “College jock. Italian. Probably stuffed nerds in lockers, made them cry? You hold onto jobs just as well as you hold onto women. A frat-boy.Womanizer.”
How the hell did he...? Spencer managed to mask his incredulous reaction before Tony looked up at him again. “Hey! Just because I’m not part of the MIT geek squad,” Spencer muttered. “Besides, at the end of the day, I get the women, and you just get to stay at home and hang out with your computer.”
“Jock,” Tony said, by way of short retribution. It wasn’t a very good comeback.
“Nerd,” Spencer replied. “Playboy.”
“Virgin.” Spencer grinned.
The two half-glared, half-grinned at each other, and if it hadn’t been for the circumstances, it could have been any day of the week.
They walked in silence for a moment as the tunnel becoming brighter and brighter as they neared the end. Spencer could hear the ocean water knocking and sloshing around the door that they had entered through. It was weird to think that it had once been a clear path into this cave. In fact, it was weird to think that any of this was happening at all. He’d been here for a few hours now; Arrived maybe an hour or so before sunset. As he heard the knocking, for some reason the Wings song comes to mind. He started singing it in his head – ‘Someone’s knocking at the door; somebody’s ringing the bell...’ – except no one’s ringing a doorbell, just knocking. No, make that pounding on the door. He sure hoped the darn thing would hold.
The thought in mind only made him more intent on getting out of the cave and into some sunlight. Sunlight? Wait a minute, it was day time here! How could that be?
The group was now standing in bushland. It was a small Island - Maybe not even an Island at all. It was hard to distinguish what was real and what was fake in this whole thing. Spencer stood, open mouthed as they looked around them. Instead of blue sky and clouds, there was just more water. They where in some sort of a sphere. A young woman, maybe only seventeen years of age stepped out of the group for a moment, and placed a tentative hand on the side of the sphere pulling back sharply as the bubble-like surface quivered. An older man, obviously a father figure pulled her back close to him and scolded her. Another tall, and spindly woman beside him was rubbing a small cross hanging from her neck with one hand, and made the sign of the cross across her forehead, chest and both shoulders.
“Think you could tell me what’s going on here Anthony?” He muttered, watching as a large stingray floated lazily above them. Many of the people around them gasped and pointed at the giant propelled itself through the water with it’s pectoral fins. Just as the stingray passed several other fish that he couldn’t identify floating by lazily, followed by a few large sharks.
“Not if your expecting an answer.” Tony muttered back. The waters surface surrounding them emitted a visible glow, or luminescence which probably explained the false look of sunlight around them.
“Belle!” A female voice broke the silence, calling out above the crowd. Spencer, as well as most of the others looked back at her. “Shush Rosemary.” Another woman put an index finger to her lips to silence the older woman. Another man shook his head. “Well we can’t just stand her gawking at the fishies. Lets get our asses in gear!” The guy was Australian. A few others started to look anxious. They where getting scared.

She didn’t know what to feel. Worried? Happy? Scared? Well take that all at once and you’ll know how Theo felt when hearing the three men sprawling making Solita more nervous then she should and her as well. She sighed though; it was a guy’s match but didn’t want to answer any of them. She hated fights and this was one reason, it ended up being about her. As the light came over them Solita was frightened even more. Well you could guess yourself, being in the dark for a good deal thirty minutes then a flashing light, how would you react? The mare reared making the people around her back away several steps until she bailed forward ignoring that she almost ran over someone in the wheelchair, she wanted to get out. Ears were pinned and her teeth easily shown if anyone tried to come in front of her. Coming past Satoria was no comfort either and the mare ignored the other painted horse. Entering on the ground Theodosia calm her down in some circles while stroking her neck, the mare was flicking her ears nervously not liking this atmosphere and panted only lightly. ”Easy dear, we’re outside now.”
She did not look at anyone else. The provided bridle she had made was on the mare again but not her. She was at the equine’s head calming and comforting her until she was safe enough to take some hit from the same male that had fought, again. She sighed heavily seeing him enter with a rather furious look. ”You still got nothing to do here outsider! Get your butt and that horse out of here; we don’t need your help.” Oh he felt so good about himself after saying that, he purred like a kitten almost, but he was dumb this way, he didn’t see the outcome with the mare. Solita pinned her ears as soon as he arrived and followed him a meter, he didn’t notice, the rest hadn’t even come out but soon enough, it was too late. She bit his rump hard, heard him scream until turning her rear bumping on her bite mark, which gave even more pain and made him kiss some dirt. She did not allow anyone to say anything harsh about a kind people like this. Making her way back to Theo her heart eased a little. The mare was falling for the girl, but not for her charms, it was for her soul.
Theodosia had to smile seeing the mare’s actions but only poked her tongue out to the male now on the dirt. He could do what he wanted, she didn’t want to live in the town, and she was just here because she wanted to save someone, which was all. Patting the palomino colored neck she played a little with the creamy neck and wondered what Abby was going to do, well that and where the twins had gone off too. She would not want to admit it, but they were nice to be with. She felt safe and they were fun after all, she hadn’t gotten into her shy and isolated state yet, that was a first so it must mean something, right?

Abigail Simons :: 20 Belle Andrews :: 18 Marilee Sanches :: 18 Travis and Noah Blake :: 20 In the middle of the island, Andras heard the call of a female, and standing he grinned, Belle was still slumped unconscious against the tree and he was growing dull waiting for her to come around so he could torture her some more. Picking up a shard of mirror he looked into it and saw the rescue group, he grinned as he watched them there seemed to be some sort of an argument going on what fun. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXAbby was one of the first out to see the scene with the other horse and the new arrival, naturally Frank was the one causing the trouble for a middle aged man he sure acted like a child a lot of the time. Stepping forward to stand between the new arrival and Frank to avoid any more unfriendly scenes she turned to Frank. “Frank its plainly obvious to me that this girl is the one actually trying to help here, so if you cant keep you fat mouth shut, then I will tie you up and leave you in the cave with the flying heads, we need co-operation on this not fighting.”She said with meaning and for those who knew Abby they knew not to take her threats lightly as even though there was no rope around she knew how to improvise, after all there was always the white lab coat on the floor in the cave. As she as speaking she saw the twins laughing silently behind Franks back and quickly added. “That goes double for you too, even if you were standing up for her, we don’t need any god damn fighting. Now lets get a move on.”The twins looked at each other sheepishly before grinning at Abby “Aww come on Abs you can’t honestly think that we have the self control to stay out of a fight”Noah said with a grin but Abby wasn’t in the mood for the twins right now usually she liked the twins and tolerated them well but with the disappearance of her friend she wasn’t really the same person. Even Tony who she immediately liked as he didn’t let his disability get in the way of anything was annoying him, he was so slow thank god he didn’t object to them putting him back in his chair, if he had argued that he could do it she might have blown a gasket at him. Not because it was his fault or that she really thought he was a pain but her mind was on other things, and she really wasn’t the usual Abby. If she had thought about it she would have realized it was very similar to the time one of her co-workers had gone missing she was a wreck until he showed up not because she was in love with him no but because he was one of the people who liked the fact she was different. During that time she had alienated all her other co-workers even though like him they had liked her for the fact she was different. It just proved she wasn’t a good person for handling personal loss whether it was her goldfish, family or a friend. “Just keep your hands to yourselves until this is over can ya manage that”
“Yes sir boss lady man!”They both said giving phony salutes, pretending to stand to attention and with big goofy grins plastered to their faces. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX“So they think they can find and rescue you do they” He said to himself with a wide grin on his face, waving his hand over the lake next to him he sent a wave of cold water toward Belle. She coughed and spluttered as the water hit her full force in the face, coming to slightly her vision blurred even more so now from her wet hair hanging in her eyes she looked up non-coherently at the figure above her. “Now are you going to tell me where Celeste is or should I have some fun with your little friends”He spoke in a malicious whisper as he bent down near her ear just to freak her out even more not that she seemed all that freaked out. Actually she seemed highly drunk, nothing seemed to be penetrating her skull except the throbbing pain which now she was awake again was so much more intense. “Who?”She muttered not really knowing what was going on at the moment. “Very well”He straightened up and waved his arm through the air as he once again gazed into the glass. XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXSatoria had just taken up the lead again with no passengers on her back as Marilee had slid off to walk next to Abby so that the horse that would apparently lead them to where they needed to go wouldn’t get confused with mixed signals. Satoria was leading them toward the middle of the bush or so it seemed, suddenly though there was a creaking sound all around them. At first nothing seemed out of the ordinary and they kept walking Abby and Marilee were looking around at their surrounding with apprehension had the yell alerted Andras so their presence it didn’t seem to be a very big island so it was possible wasn’t it? “Whoa, Abs is it just us or are the tree’s closing in on us”Travis said from the middle of the group the twins pushing toward the front as they spoke. Abyy looked around and sure enough the path they were following was getting smaller by the second and before they knew it there wasn’t any room for even a small child to squeeze through the gaps in the tree’s and they were left in a small clearing that had not been there a few seconds ago. “Well I guess that proves it, he knows we are here”She said with a sigh, ‘How were they going to get to Belle now they were trapped and there was no way they could get through those tightly packed tree’s and continue on foot‘ [glow=red,2,300] “You foolish Mortals, did you really think you could outsmart me, now you too are my prisoners, and until someone tells me where Celeste is your not going anywhere, welcome to my hell.”[/glow] A voice boomed around the area, so that was Andras well his voice at least and if he could control the tree’s and do all this Abby could see why he was calling them foolish, why did Celeste send them in here if they were just going to be trapped with no way out what were they going to do now. Little did they know that they were very close to Belle, as a matter of fact she was just on the other side of the tree cluster, all they had to do was find a way to get out of the clearing.

So what comes next? Tony never could handle uncertainty very well. There where always clues; everyone left clues behind. He was positive that Andras was no exception. For once, he didn’t know what to do or where to start! What he did know though, is that no matter what the dangers, Belle and her work needed to survive, and continue... especially when some of the more explosive facts still need to be revealed. Facts concerning Celeste, Andras and the Secrets of the Isle, to name but a few.
Trying to save Belle with out harming the delicate balance of the Isle posed a big risk—not just to the corrupt, but to the innocent as well. Yet the chance that these truths might remain unspoken was an even bigger risk.
Had his ears deceived him or did they mention that Santoria was going to lead them to Belle? How could they expected a horse to lead them to Belle? It was a herbivorous quadruped, not a leader! He didn’t question the logic openly as he and the others followed her as she took the lead of the group, but just as she began leading them into the bush, there was a loud creaking sound, surrounding them. Then there was a voice.
“You foolish Mortals! Did you really think you could outsmart me? Now you too are my prisoners, and until someone tells me where Celeste is your not going anywhere. Welcome to my hell.” The voice bellowed around the tight group, causing the people to cry out in fright. From the sound of it, the voice belonged to a male, probably no older than eighteen or so. This was Andras?
There was another voice, this time belonging to one of the twins, but this time he didn’t sound joking, or playful. This time he sounded afraid! “Whoa, Abs is it just us or are the tree’s closing in on us?”
He was right! The path they where following in front of them was rapidly closing in as the trees began to shake and pull their own roots from the ground and use them like legs as they circled around the 30 + group of people before digging them firmly back in the ground. They where caging them in!
Tony’s heart was racing inside of his chest as he looked around with wide-eyes. Just beyond his peripheral vision Tony then spotted a prone, youthful figure laying on the ground less than thirty three feet away. Belle! He felt his body go cold at the sight of her laying there, limp. He couldn’t even tell if she was alive. No...he wouldn’t kill her. Not unless she told him what she knows. God he hoped she didn’t tell him what she knew...
“Spencer!” He called out to the man beside him, who didn’t seem to be listening or even ‘seeing’ anything that was going on. He was swaying on his feet. “It’s Belle she’s...”
Less than a few heart bears later, Tony watched as Spencer let out a loud groan and gripped at the sides his head with both hands. With his eyes closed tightly and teeth gritted, he staggered a few paces, grabbing one of the push handles of Tony’s chair trying to steady himself when all of a sudden, he crumpled onto his back, his extremities jerking uncontrollably. Drool was dribbling from the corners of his mouth and his eyes where rolling back into his scull.
“Spencer!?” Tony cried out in shock as Spencer continued to twitch and gargle on his own saliva. Tony leant over in his chair, ignoring the sharp pain that shot down his back as he rolled Spencer onto his side and held him there as he shook.
“What’s going on!?” The young woman who’d called out Belle’s name, shrieked as her father dropped and started to convulse too. Her hands shot up to her mouth in a silent scream.
Most of the others just seemed too petrified to move, almost as if they where frozen on the spot. Perhaps they where. “Celeste! Help us, please!” A woman yelled out, holding onto an older woman’s arm with a vice grip. The other woman hardly seemed to even comprehend that she was even there.
Tony looked down at the man convulsing beneath him and uttered a small whimper of uncertainty before he rolled backwards, and with fast momentum he rushed towards Marilee and Abby. “Girls! Belle is behind those trees!” He pointed just beyond where he and Spencer had stood just a moment ago, towards a grouping of pine’s covering the path. He rolled back quickly and with some strain, he rolled himself back around and quickly rolled himself to the trees. “There! Look!” He managed to get his hand through a gap to point towards Belle, just before there was a loud crash, like something being torn from out of the very ground itself and what sounded like a waterfall following soon afterwards.

Her eyes showed nothing but she understood the seriousness. Walking beside the golden painted mare, but there were something else. She was twitching, flicking her ears nervously or rather furiously? She understood everything going on? How could she do that? Theodosia looked at the mare neighing something to Satoria, she didn’t know what it was though but somehow looked over at a man yelling seeing something about Belle lying on the other side of the trees. Solita followed the young female to the male in the wheelchair looking at him for a minute then on where he pointed and noticed her. She didn’t think, just easily slid past the trees, trying to look for a place where it was easy to get past. A tree branch tried to grab her, and it took a grip, she shrieked out in surprise but was surprised when it suddenly loosened as something entered. Solita was shining? The once golden painted calm mare had gotten a light over her beautiful body. Her ears were pinning as a warning but the dark eyes made it clear, she was here to help. Theodosia nodded without hesitation as the tree’s started to go to the sides, almost bowing to a creature of holy matrimony. ”Come on! Solita will keep them away, but only for two minutes. Faster!”
Theodosia hurried the people and the other mare past the tree’s guided them where she could and got more help for the rest. She noticed how Solita was getting weaker but they had no time left. Mounting the equine she rode her to the group again and the mare lost her light. She panted heavily, ears flicking nervously while her head dropped. The young girl however ignored everyone’s glances and instead glared at them. ”What dumb creatures are you!? Go save Belle! We’ll catch up.” She saw them go and didn’t know how many that would actually stay with them, they had to save Belle now and that was probably what Solita had done as well. Dismounting the mare gave her an opportunity to lie down and she collapsed. ”Hush child, you’ll be alright, I’m here.” The mare’s ear followed the soft and tender voice. She made noises, almost murmuring noises but they were also muffled sometimes. Her eyes were half-closed and she felt the warmth of a pair of hands running down the neck, massaging her to get her back in drift. ”You were amazing girl, now rest and get better ok?” Theo’s voice was almost trembling but she still kept it calm. Solita was going to make it, she knew it. But this fellow who had hurt her precious mare was going to regret the day he lived.
The trees were almost closing in again, but they were hesitating. The lying mare could still hurt them and they kept their distance. The soothing side of Theodosia had always been warm, but this was not it. It was a side she rarely used. She was tender, caring and most of all she was sobbing. Tears were dancing down her pale skin and down the mare’s muzzle. How had it come to this? Why had she been this stupid? Risking not only her own life but also the mare’s life and for what? A girl? She was really going insane wasn’t she? The mare murmured to ever softly in the thin air but there were no blood showing from her flares, a good sign at least. Her head seemed to start getting a shine again, like everything would be going to be alright. Lips released a sigh of relief, eyes getting a glitter between the tears crystal as the golden shining mare rose up. Her head shook as if to tell this was just a minor setback. Theodosia laughed though but felt the darkness around this place, it reeked to be honest and the massive trees seemed to want to fight even more, though they hesitated, their first fault.
So what if they were not coming home? She had heard about Celeste, but who was she? Or he for that matter? Eyes glanced to the sides again, they were surrounded, but this time, there were only two. Creamy tassels were flicked annoyed by the outcome but a soft hand was placed on the golden shining neck. They looked at each other, understanding each thought of each other, they were one. Eyes of golden amber narrowed to the trees she knew the holder of these were easy to trick, if you slipped onto the right threads of course and slowly but surely plucked them out of their home. It was but this that a game called cat and mouse had entered between the puppeteer and a pair. ”Well then, you must truly be foolish seeing as you can not hold even the lightest tad of darkness. This is not your land, and we will take their punishment.” Well, it was fun while it lasted though. Wish I could’ve spent more time with the twins. Her eyes glanced towards the two but before she could shed any tears she looked back. It seemed like this time, the trees had stopped, but why? And for who?
The mare started to grow anxious when everything stood still. The light was not fading but she showed a great deal of strength or was it perhaps the darkness that had made her become weak? She was a creature of light not of darkness, her coat and personality told everyone that it was just that. Foolish people like Frank and that girl could not understand the meaning of ones true pure heart. Solita was not named Sanctuary of Feathers by Theodosia, she was Celeste’s secret, a being from her dreams that had become true and it was both these two destinies to become fulfilled. They were not here to die, no; they were here to fight as equally right friends and partners, comrades, mates but most of all, soul mates. It was something about this that would never make her cold or suffer because Theodosia knew the heart of herself and the heart of this mare. And for that they would not suffer through grave danger like many would think, they were not as foolish as these guys thought either but they were just what the two twins were thinking. A dream, a beautiful dream, but a dream that you could taste, feel, see and most of all hear. The two looked at each other until Theodosia finally found her gentle voice again, speaking hushed and soft to the mare with her last words before complete silence. ”We shall never fall my dear, our destiny is not written to fall so easily, right?” Her head shook as she agreed with it all before silence fell over the darkness and the trees moved forward to fulfil what they thought were their job, which really wasn’t, what it was? It’s a secret.
