"ACE!!" I screeched, and cast my fluorescent but strong shield upon the foal. I could not move, for Rosalie was stuck to me like iron, but I knew my shield would do the job. Storm swiveled his head from massaging Rosalie's haunches to the foal trying to defend my Rosalie, and he took off after Ace, once putting a water blockage in front of him. As a newborn magic horse, my senses were sharp, and even from half a mile away, I could hear their conversation. "Ace, stop. I know you want to protect Rosalie..which is sort of my job..but they agreed to leave us alone." Storm growled. I let my shield down, and Ace looked dumbfounded. "For now!! Just wait. They will ambush again tomorrow night, and when they really do some damage to Rosalie, I will not being kissing your ass because 'your precious Rosalie' was killed. You hear me?" Ace hissed. Storm winced, terror in his eyes. It stroke me to think that a foal could curse, but knowing what this foal went through, it didn't seem so shocking anymore. "You WILL NOT jinx my Rosalie's death. I will order for Strider to keep horses on guard...I will NOT let them touch her!" Storm yowled, about to rear until I put a shield around Ace, who gave him a smirk. Storm whinnied in defeat, and trotted over to Rosalie, and began massaging her haunches again. "I wanna go home.." Rosalie sniffed, and Storm helped balance her weight. Ace swiftly moved to her other side, and Rosalie gave him an appreciative look. She shifted her weight to his shoulder instead, and Storm backed off. He then stood next to me, and looked like he was keeping something. "What is it?" I asked, and he looked me in the eyes, the same way he used to when we were traveling to find Moon. "I...I..I.. love Rosalie, alot, but I still have a small spark for you still, Carrot. I mean, look at you! You're flawless!" he said, looking down at his hooves. "Storm I..." I started, not knowing what to say. "It's alright. I'm not in any rush for Rose to grow up, anyway. Maybe it's time I take a 'heartbreak', you know." he said, crinkling the same smile he used to smile. I smiled back, reaching out and playfully kicking him. He playfully nipped at me, and we chuckled all the way to the herd, like we used to.

I carefully lifted Rosalie onto my back as I slowly walked to the cave everyone slept in. I felt her slow steady breathing telling me that she was asleep. I walked through the grass where the blood had stained. When we got to the cave i set her down gently. I then proceeded to curl next to her. She shivered, so i pressed closer to her ever so slightly. i didnt want to make Carrot mad so i kept a distance. Her shivering had ceased and so i got up, and kept watch over the herd.

Of course, as stealthy as I was, I watched Ace put Rosalie and attempt to curl up next to her. But, as soon as Rosalie stopped shivering, Ace stood up and started to look out for the herd. I trotted over to him and asked, "You like her don't you." I said. Ace looked at me in a shocked way. "Um--um---uh" Ace stammered. We were talking in the dead of night, and the father of Rosalie was talking to him about liking her. What was there to not stammer about? "Hey I get it," I said as I nudged him. Ace looked down at the floor. "It's just that...." He stammers again. "Hey, the way I met her mom, Carrot, was in a twisted messed up way. I hope that doesn't happen to you. But it might do, because of Storm......" My voice trailed off. I couldn't help them. I just hope that Ace wins over Storm. I do not want Storm imprinting on my foal. "I just hope that you can figure it out," I say. "I know. It's just that... Rosalie is really sweet and beautiful, I just don't want a bozo that goes after horses that are twice as young as him to take her. I just don't know how to tell her my feelings." He said. He sounded kind of sad. "Hey just chill ok? When you tell her just be yourself."

I leaned gratefully onto Moon and sighed, the best thing was to if i was the one thing in her way from storm, i would gladly keep her safe. i told him, " i love her like a brother but also as a potential love, i cant let her get hurt." I felt my face turning a bright shade of pink as i realized what he meant form his question. Even though deep down i did have feelings for her. i had seen her beautiful smile and graceful jumps and playfulness. i loved her, but i felt like a brother to her.
I felt like it would be wrong to love her after storm imprinted onto her. But i wasn't gonna let that evil creature have her. There was no sort of relationship between us since she didn't like me back. At least, i think she doesn't. i had to tell her how i feel that i truly loved her. but i couldn't wont let my love get in the way of keeping her safe. So if it meant that i had to love her more than i already did, i was ready to do do. After all we are like family.

After long days of watching over Rosalie, and helping keep her safe, and not to mention watching that stupid stallion Storm when he was close to her, I finally got a day to rest. During that battle that Strider helped conduct, I was helping behind the scenes with as much as I possibly could. I was nice that most of stress was over, but with Rosalie's future not determined, a larger battle still raged on. I finally got to have one night of full rest. I started to close my eyes, when hoof beats jolted my head up. "What now! For goodness sake!" I said. It was Ironica. "Sorry Irnoa, but someone is here to visit us, or rather me... or you!" I stared at her, confused but I knew what she was saying. "Just, come on." I stammered up from my laying position and cantered off after her.
I was furious with who I saw in the distance. It was Storm. "Storm!!" I screeched. I went full charge and stopped, inches away from his head. I gazed furiously into his eyes. He showed no other expression but a smile. "Are you trying to get in my nerves?" I said. "Well, you know. Maybe. So what... I imprinted on your granddaughter, and blah blah blah." "You don't even care!!" I said. "No, I do. I just want to protect her," he said, letting the words roll off his tongue. As he turned around to blabber on more, I sent a shock through the ground. With a loud zap, he fell to the ground. Still breathing, but just blacked out. I stared at him, not felling pity.

I heard a loud zap, and lifted my head from Moon's withers. I galloped in the direction of the sound, and saw Irona standing over Storm, who was crying in pain. "STORM!!" I screamed, and stopped at his body, pushing Irona off. "Hey...C-C-Carrot..." he tried to say, trying to be brave. "Don't speak. It's alright." I told him, tears streaming from my eyes. I wasn't sure if he was going to die....I still loved him. I still needed him. He needed Rosalie. If we was dying, I needed to help him. Only, my shield couldn't do that. "C-C-Carrot, I-I-I love y-y-ou..." he choked out,coughing after. I didn't respond, but just stared into his dark eyes. Under all of the dirt about imprinting on my daughter, Storm was a strong stallion. He then started to shake, his eyes going wild, and a loud screech escaped my lips. I could hear Rosalie screaming and crying, and I felt Irona's shocked eyes watch me as I screamed out loud, a terrible and sad cry. He then seemed relaxed, almost too relaxed. "STORM, NOOO! STORM PLEASE, PLEASE, STORM....." I screamed, putting my head on his neck. He sighed in, but I could tell he was far too close to being gone to respond. "Storm...please...I love you....Storm..." I whispered to him as his last breath drifted in and out of his nostrils. "I love you too...Carrot..." he said lastly, and then his brown eyes went cold, and his body lost it's warm touch. I then screamed out in agony, the tears coming faster now, hot and salty down my cheeks. I then looked at Irona, who had no pity in her eyes, but instead relief. I was going to put her into her place when I heard a break, and the ground splint into two, and a long river broke through the ground. I looked over, and a there were two golden lilipads. I squinted my eyes to read the text on each, and one said "My love for Carrot will never end.." and the other said "My heart for Rosalie will never break..". I started to cry harder. He really was here, just now, he was the power.

I stood in shock, Irona had just killed Storm. His power made a river with two shimmering lily pads of gold. they were talking to rosalie and carrot. I saw rosalie`s soft brown eyes fill with crystal clear tears. I ran to Rosalie and nudged her playfully. She rested her head on my withers and i felt the cold tears fall. I stood a little pleased and blusing just the slightest bit as she stood crying.

I stepped away from Storm's body, the tears falling naturally now. I looked back and saw Rosalie resting her head on Ace's withers. Ace comforted her with words and gave Rosalie a friend. I was happy. She had somebody her age to love and be friends with, which is exactally what she needed. "Carrot..." Irona started, but I stopped her with a flick of my tail. "Save it." I told her and walked over to Moon, who looked just as happy yet shocked as her. When I realized his expression was relieved, I walked past him to my den. I couldn't believe Storm was dead- I couldn't.

I knew exactly what I did, but it wasn't wrong. I looked at Ironica, who smiled a small smile, and then walked tords Stroms dead body. I watched steadily, but not to be too obvious. She stood over him, and smiled darkly. "It has finally been arranged..." she murmured something else that I couldn't hear. I walked fords moon, but kept my eye on her. Now I saw her face, which was darkened, and she gave off a bad vibe which made me shiver. I looked up at moon who had noticed the same thing I had. "Who is she?" He asked. "I have a feeling she isn't a copy of me anymore," I mumbled. "Me too, something isn't just right." "Moon, do you know where Rasta is?" I asked. "Rasta? Yes, why?" "I need him to help me, where is he?"
I started to give off a yellow glow, and my mane started waving from the breeze of energy I created around myself. I was planning to teleport, but because it was not a serious moment, I planned to save my energy and take my time. I saw Carrot settling down in her den. Before she lay her head down, she looked up at me with a hurtful look. Before she could mouth anything to me, I was gone with a loud zap. "Rasta, I need you." The handsome bay steed turned his head and looked at me, his green eyes determined. I know who 'Ironica' is, who she really is.

I laid my head on my knees and cried. Whenever I turned around, I hurt someone. I hurt Rosalie for not protecting Storm. I hurt my mother by defending Storm. I hurt Moon by saying I loved Storm. I hurt Storm by denying his love, and running away from it like a wildfire. I hurt myself for letting this happen. "Carrot?" a voice from the mouth of the den meekly asked. It was Moon. "Moon!" I gasped, and he laid next to me. I laid my head over his knees and cried. He rested his head on my neck, letting my tears soak his fur. I love him so much-he is my life. I made the right choice. Life with Storm would've been centered around the herd, and I wanted to be free. His magic was also used for bad intentions, things I did not believe were right. I was nieve as a normal horse. I just loved him for who he was. He never understood my love for him, though. I could've never seen him by my side, watching our foal play in a meadow. That's why i'm with Moon. I always have and always will want him, every part of him, from the flesh to the core.

i knew that not a lot would make Rosaile feel better about Storm. But i had one idea what might. i lead rosaile over to a tree and told her i was sorry for her loss. she sat down under the shade.... i had to ask her.... i needed to know..... if she loved me like i loved her. I cleared my throat, turning the color of a red rose, i asked her... "do you like me, becuase i like you." "y-yes i do" I blushed even more red, i was a deep scarlet color. as the sunset began, we kissed under the tree, little flowers falling ever so gently onto the floor.

"Carrot..." I said while she cried on my hair. But I wasn't paying attention to my tear-soaked body - I was looking at Ace and Rosalie. "He did it..." I said under my breath. "W-w-h-o d-i-d w-h-a-t?" She said between sobs. "Look." She looked up and saw them. I could tell when she did because she slightly smiled. She looked up at me and said, "She's grown up, she's got a horse of her own..." She trailed off. Then she burst into tears. "Shh, it's ok," I said. She put her head down and whispered to me, "I hurt everyone, everywhere I go." I was dumbfounded, "But your hurt turns out for the better." I say. She whispered so quietly so she made sure only I could hear, "Don't ever leave me." I looked at her and she looked at me. I nuzzled my muzzle against hers and said, "I will never leave you, as long as I live."

The next morning, I woke up at Moon's side. He was staring at my flank in an odd, anger filled way. "What?" I asked, and he shot me a worried filled glance. "He bit you." Moon said, and pushed my head with his so that I could see my flank. There were teeth marks, ones that I have not seen before. Then it came back to me. "I kept tripping when we came to find you, because of my leg. I tripped once, and meaning to grab my tail, he got my butt." I told him, but he did not buy it. "He did this on purpose, so that you could be infested of his dark magic.." Moon snapped, anger filling his eyes. "No.." I told him, but started to believe it. "Follow me." Moon told me, and we both rose and walked to the center of the herd. I felt something hot pulsing through my veins-fire? Moon beckoned for a stallion to join him. He whispered something to the stallion. He looked scared, but ready to take whatever it was on. "I'm going to fight him. Try and protect me with your shield." Moon told me. He galloped towards the stallion. 'Shield!', I thought, but something else happened. The stallion that was going to fight Moon flew back, his neck twisting, and his body falling limp. I felt a trickle of blood falling out of my nose, and I lowered my head and wiped it on my knee. Moon stopped abruptly, looking back at me with anger and shock. The herd gasped and some walked away in fear. Moon cantered back to me, and looked angry. I lowered my head and snorted, but he brought it back up. "Put your shield on this thing." Moon said, walking over to a stick. He was about to smash it when I thought 'Shield!', and it flew up, away from his grasp. This was not my shield. "Telekinesis...no way...this can't be possible...you left over two months ago!!" he exclaimed as my nose bled again. I wiped it on my knee once more, confused. "His dark magic he passed on to you is called telekinesis...you have the ability to move, kill things and work things with your brain. Your shield vanished as soon as his dark magic started swirling in your veins and infecting your cells. You bleed because you are working your brain too hard. That's the thing...his magic kills. Not others, but yourself." Moon said, fear in his eyes. I wanted to scream, kick something, but all I could do was take a rock and smash it in mid air. My nose started to bleed again, and I started crying. This was not me. I am infected.

I snapped wide awake when i heard a scream, it sounded like Carrot. I nuzzled Rosalie trying to wake her up, she didn`t move so i went on without her. I ran over to Carrot crying, she had a bite in her flank and her muzzle was tainted a deep scarlet hue, blood, the one thing i knew to well. it was the most common thing in the one year i have been alive, blood and gore has taken away my happy days. I cast a small pale orange glow onto her flank and her nose. the bite mark slowly faded away and the bleeding stopped. I felt nauseous as i stared at a tall stallion in front of us. I stood shaking and trembling, i barley muttered, " what is this dark magic", i lost balance and fell. i was bracing for the impact of the ground, but instead it felt softer than usual. i looked up and saw that i had fallen onto Moon not the grass. i gave him a look of gratitude as he pushed me back up. the stallion stared at me with disgust and malice. His laughing echoed through the field, i looked behind him horrified to see a bay mare appear behind him. I had realized where the bite had come from now, the stallion was physic and can control objects. I then cast a bright purple light on the area of the bite and slowly saw as a large chunk of pitch-black fog swirling violently. i set the dark fog on fire with the most simple strike of the ground. it evaporated with a ear splitting screech and a blast of sparks. i realized as a flash of memories flooded in, my father had physic powers like the stallion, and he was black too. I stared in horror as i realized, my father was standing in front of me. I charged eager to take my revenge on the stallion that ruined my childhood and was destroying my new family, from the inside out.

"But I have a way to fix it," I said confidently. "I just wish that Storm had listened to me before he turned totally evil." I snorted. "Thanks Ace unfortunantly you cant get rid of all the dark magic, she has to." Carrot looked up at me with wide eyes. "Does this mean I'm going to turn evil like this forever?" She asked me with anger, shock, and fear in her eyes. "No, not unless you will listen to me." "I'm willing to do whatever you say." She said with a look that made me warm up inside. "Now I need you to answer these questions for me as we walk to the place that you're going to be healed in alright?" "Ok, ask me anything." She said. We started to walk. "How long ago were you bitten?" "About 3 months ago." And stuff like that. We walked to where I first met Carrot. "Look down there where I first rescued you. The lion is now dead. His bones are the only thing that remains...but something else remains here. "She looked up at me confused. I smiled the first time we met. When she was barely conscious. She looked at me and smiled at me, "Our love." She said. "That's correct. Now I need you to remember a place we were together. Where we first found love for each other." She quickly thought of a place. "The tree!" She said. "Then we're going there," I said.
When we reached the tree she saw pink sap coming out of it. I knew this would happen. When she turned evil it would slowly leack pink sap. Because this is where she first told me she loved me. She looked at the sap and shot back with a discusted look on her face. I also knew she wouldn't drink it. Therefore it heals her, yet the dark magic inside her is telling her no. "If you truly love me, drink it. But if you love Storm more than me...you can live on as the second horse-devil."

"I'm not a devil. This is the last thing I have of him..." I started, but then knew how this hurt Moon. "You still love him?" Moon asked, anger edging his voice. "Yes. He was my best friend..." I told him, and then an idea strung into my head. "I'll only drink a little bit of the sap, so i'm half telepathic, half shield holder." I told Moon. He looked happy and stung at the same time. I nodded, and drank a thumbs amount of the sap. I felt some of the fire in my veins fade, and a part of my brain feeling like it was being rung out, like a wet towel. Moon sighed in relief as my eyes seemed softer.

I smiled at my rebellion-sweet mare. "You know. I'm the same thing as you. Except I was always like this. Ever since I was born. My dad was the first Horse-Devil. My mom being who she was, immediately fell in love with him. I've never told anyone. Storm...he was always sweet. Then the spirits took him over." I sighed looked at Carrot. "Why are you telling me this?" She asked. "Becuase, I'm supposed to tell you everything. Don't I?"
We were headed on the way back to the herd when Carrot asked me a really serious question, "If you are half devil...Is Rosalie somewhat devil too?" "I...I don't know." Carrot looked at me for a second then looked back at the floor. "I'm sorry for all that's happened to you." She said under her breath. "No, I'm sorry for what I did to you," I told her. "Don't be this life is the best life I could ever ask for." "Are you sure about that?" "Positive"
We reached the herd late at night. There was blood all over the floor. Ace and Rosalie were sound asleep in their cave. Irona was still up, "What happened?" I asked. "Wait until morning," She said, "I'm tired."

I woke up to a scream, I realized i had fallen asleep next to Rosalie. My eyes turned bright red and i got up. I tried to stop myself but i just took off galloping into the distance. I ran far enough away and then stopped abruptly. My father and mother were standing in front of me. The herd members were snickering eager for payback. They all swarmed around me kicking and biting me. The grass around me started to stain, and i could finally see what was happening. i tried to stand up but i was pushed down by my mother. I screamed in protest and anger. I screeched as loud as i could hoping someone would help me, but no one came. A big red roan stallion kicked me in the head and i felt my skull split, i healed it slightly but i knew there was a scar. I was lucky it had not gone through my eye but it came close to. My father stopped the mob of horses and looked down at me. I was shriveled in a ball and coughing up blood. he kicked me one last time in the stomach sending blood launching from my mouth. He sneered, "this is the weakling i abandoned last year." the herd laughed meaninglessly at me and some snickered from my pain. My eyes dulled to a gray color as i pretended to pass out. He then ran off followed by the rest of the herd each one laughing to themselves at the failure of a horse named Ace. I waited until they were past the hill before getting up and walking home. It was far but i trotted for most of the way fading in and out of conciseness. When i got back i sat in the corner silent tears of pain and misery fell down my cheek and onto the cave floor. "no" i though in my head "be strong for everyone`s sake" so i stopped the tears i had been holding back and stared at everyone. it was silent until i violently coughed blood. It was larger than the previous amount, and i was starting to get worried. I was terrified and, not being able to hold them back, i let the tears fall onto the floor.

"ACE!" I screamed. I had this terrible nightmare and I had a feeling that it really happened. I got up and went to look for Ace. "Ace?" I said softly. "I'm right -*Gasp*-here" he said. Ace I know what happened." I said. "How do you -*Gasp*- know if you -*Gasp*- come with me?" "I had a dream about it. I think you can heal yourself but it'll take time. Do you want me to wake Rosalie?" "No I'm fine, thanks Moon. She's been through a lot, like Storm dying, her mom turning half devil, finding out that her father has been half devil since forever, and..." He trailed off. "I know ok then. You need to rest and call me or Carrot whenever you need anything." I told him, "And next time don't run off to a far away scream without anyone with you to protect you." "I know thanks Moon." He said. I left the cave just as the sun was coming up.
Carrot was awake and waiting for me to get back. "Where did you go?" She sounded kind of annoyed kind of playful. "I woke up to a bad nightmare that was real." "Who was it?" She asked me in the same tone. "Ace. He was beat up by the tribals. He's slowly healing." "Oh! Does Rosalie know?" The annoyed tone had completely vanished from her voice now she just sounded playful. "What's up with you?" I asked in the same tone. "Nothing, just happy that we're both half devil." She laughed. "Is there something your hiding from me?"

I took a walk until i arrived at a river, i plunged into it to clean out the wounds. The river turned a bright orange and sent out a beacon of light. I though of an easier form to manage my energy in. I morphed into a black leopard and with a nimble leap, emerged out of the water. I walked back to the cave no scratches visible except for the large scar running down from my forehead to my eye. I wondered if they would recognize me or not.

"Ace is that you?" Said Rosalie. She could recognize him anywhere - even if he transformed. "Thank the horses that someone recognized me." He said.
*Sorry I wrote so little I just want to see what others come up with*

That night, I visited Rosalie. Ever since Storm died, she seemed to shut herself away from everybody. "Hi, mama..." she started, and looked away from me. "Hello. What's up?" I asked, and she shrugged. "Come on, your depressed." I told her, and she curled her lip in anger. "I am NOT!! Ace is gone, Storm is dead, and my parents barely talk to me!!!" she yelled, rearing up and kicking her back legs out. I snorted, and pushed her in the side. "Nobody is shutting you out. Your shutting yourself out. I just realized I have a bite from Storm, and I am half...his. Talk to me when you calm down. And find Ace-he's the only one who can comfort you apparently." I scolded her. As I walked out of the cave, I saw her stride farther into it. I looked back and noticed she had a smaller cave inside the cave. I rolled my eyes. At least Ace was someone she loved. Storm couldn't love or protect her forever, but Ace can.

I shifted back into my normal horse form and walked slowly into the cave. I saw Rosalie staring angrily at her mother as she walked away. " hi Rosalie, why are you up?" She whipped around to face me, clearly she was eager to see me. She stared at me in shock and i could tell she was looking at the scars on my chest and my head. I blushed and looked at the floor feeling embarrassed that she noticed them so quickly. She stared at me until she had enough courage to ask. "what happened to you Ace?' i replied," i was attacked by my father`s herd, the tribals." She stared wide eyed at me. "aw come on Rosy, no need to worry, i`m fine." I smiled at her reassuringly, she smiled back and i followed her into the cave.

That night, I decided to take a walk around the herd's area, and get some fresh air. While on my walk, I squinted my eyes, and before me, a young horse, most likely 3 years old, was cantering towards me. He had a long, curly black mane, and his tail flowed the same. Once he was in front of me, he slided to a hault, and looked like he was lost. "Hello, are you lost?" I asked, and he looked at me. At that moment, I felt like a bullet was shot through my heart. He had dark, almost chestnut dark brown eyes. His mane draped almost to the bottom of his chest, and his curly black tail reached the bottom of his fetlocks. He had a round rear, and he had a strong build. He looked like Storm. "I'm looking for my father...he left when I was born, complaining that he would get kicked out of the herd. He looks just like me, perhaps you know him? His name is Storm, and my mother told me that he belongs to Strider's herd." the young horse said, stomping a back hoof and swishing his high held tail. I felt like someone threw me to the ground and stepped on my neck, cutting off my airway. Storm has an heir...Storm is a father. "I'm Carrot...I actually knew your father quite well. I had to travel a few months ago to find someone special...he escorted me for safety, and I had been in a fight a few weeks before, and my leg was crushed beneath a rock. Your father actually...fell in love with me...but it couldn't happen. Come with me, you can stay in the herd tonight." I told his foal, and he stepped by my side, the same strong steps and high held head his father had when he walked. "What's your name, boy?" I asked as we walked, watching every similar step he took. "My name is Taio." he told me, looking in my eyes with a sincere look. "Where's your mother, and why are you loping out in herd territory alone?" I asked. "My mother is very sick, with a disease we don't know of. She sent me out here because she thinks she is going to die, and she wanted to see my father before she dies...she still loves him, you know. I've never met him, he left a day after I was born because falling and love and breeding to an outsider mare is illegal in herds. I'm excited to meet him." Taio said, jumping up a bit as the last words slid off his lips. I swallowed a lump in my throat. I had to tell him, but I didn't know how. "Listen, Taio.." I told him as I slid in front of him, cutting off his stride. "What? I have to meet my father!" Taio said, and I gave him a stern look, which made him shirnk back. "Your father...well...you know he's magic, right?" I asked the foal, and he nodded. "Well, I had a foal with the horse we were going to find. And, when she was born, I died. The father of my foal is magic as well, and bit me to inject magic to keep me alive. I woke up to Storm still being in love with me, but he had imprinted on my foal...he was killed by my mother for wanting to fall in love with my foal, because she is only a few months old. I'm so sorry.." I told Taio, and he looked dumbfounded. "He's...dead?!" he shrieked. I nodded, and he started to cry. "I'm sorry...I miss him too. I really did love him as well...come, stay at the herd, maybe they will allow you." I told Taio, and we started to walk again. He rubbed his head against my sides, his tears soaking the barrel of my stomach. I knew exactally how he felt.

"Storm has a WHAT?" I heard Irona yell through the cave next door. I walked out of Rosalie and Ace's after a long talk with Rosalie telling her that we will never leave her and stuff like that. "Thanks, dad." She said as I got up to leave. "Your welcome sweetie, now I have to go see what Irona is yelling about," I said. She giggled then got up too. "I have to go find Ace, wherever he is he's probably causing as much trouble as Mom." She said, then she was gone. I walked next door to see Carrot and Irona standing face to face. I looked over to see a foal that looked like Storm but a smaller version. "What is going on in here?" I asked. Carrot opened her mouth to say something but Irona cut her off, "She brought back a devil! His foal apparently. He tells me that his mother is from the TRIBALS!" She screamed. Carrot's eyes filled with tears, "He came to see his father...he'll never get the chance." She said, "The last thing we can do for him is let him stay." She pleaded. "I don't see anything wrong with letting him stay," I said. Irona whispered really quietly so only I could hear, "He's from the Tribals." She said. "We'll give him a chance," I turned to face Taio, "Three days, you have three days to prove yourself. If your tribe comes for you and attacks us or you show us that your in any way harmful, you have to leave." I told him, then turned back to Irona and Carrot, "This way I'm siding with both of you. Now," I turned back to Taio, "You will be sleeping in the cave next to mine. Come let me show you where it is."

*Rosalie's View* "Who is that?" I asked, slurring my last word to make it sound attractive. Ace pinned his ears and curled his lip at the handsome Friesan stallion, his eyes full of hatred. "It's fine, Ace." I told him, and started to walk away, annoyed. I'm not allowed to have a crush other than him? "I know you only like him because he is Storm's son." Ace said, standing up straight, ready to pounce. I hadn't realize how big we have grown since we were born, we were almost past my parent's shoulders. "He's Storm's son?!" I shrieked, and cantered over to his side. "Hello, pretty mare." Storm's son cooed. He looked exactally like Storm- pitch black, a strutting walk, dark brown eyes, long curly mane and forelock and a high held black curly tail. "Hi...are you Storm's son?" I asked, and he looked suprised. "Yes, I am. And who are you, gorgeous?" he asked. "I'm Carrot and Moon's foal, Rosalie. You know, your father imprinted on me before he was killed.." I said, looking down at my hooves. "No way, that's great! I'll have to get to know you in honor of my father then." he teased, and I laughed. "Hell no..." I heard a voice, and I saw Ace trailing behind. "Oh...is that your boyfriend?" Storm's son asked. "No! No, just friends." I assured him. I was as tall as him, because magic foals grow at alarming rates. I heard Ace let out an angry screech, but he still followed. "Looks like he cares about you." Storm's son said, looking back at Ace and then looking at me. "He's like an overprotective brother. Don't worry. Hey, I never asked your name." I told him, trying to act attractive. I held my tail up high and tried to talk with a slur in my voice. "Taio. You know, Rosalie is a beautiful name.." Taio said, looking at me like i'm the only thing worth looking at. "Thanks. I like Taio." I said, and he chuckled.
*Carrot's View* "Looks like Taio and Rosalie are hitting it off." I told Moon, and he snorted. "What? You don't believe the heir of Storm deserves to be with the heir of me? You know he wanted me too, so this would please him very much." I told Moon, and he whipped his head up and pinned his ears at me. "If he wanted that foal to have a future, he wouldn't have left him and his mother, and he would've never met and fell for you. So don't pull the 'he fell in love with me' card. Because if you really want him instead, you can kill yourself, because that's the only way you'll get him." Moon snapped, his eyes full of anger. "Don't you want Rosalie to be happy?" I asked. "Of course. Happy with Ace." he mumbled. "It's not your choice. It's hers." I snapped and stalked off.

"I shouldn't have let him stay" I mumbled. Ace came up to me at that exact moment, "You let him stay? I thought everything was up to Strider? The leader of the herd?" He said. "I know you're frustrated about this whole thing, but sometimes you have to let things go," I said. "Yeah well, your love triangle worked out! Yours was never like this! You got what you wanted in the end! Imagine if Carrot died right now!" He screamed at me. Then there was a faint faraway scream. Then Rosalie came running, "Dad! Its Mom hurry!" "What did you do?!" I yelled at Ace. "I'm a healing horse! I didn't do anything!" He screamed at me. "She's barely breathing...." Irona said trying to fight back tears. "How did this happen?" I asked around. No one answered me. "Answer me!" I screamed. "She screamed then dropped to the floor..." Irona said. I put my head down and whispered to Carrot. "Are you ok dear?" She didn't respond. "Ace! Come here!" I yelled through the crowd. "Don't--let--me--die..." Carrot said, gasping after each word. "I won't I promise," I said. "ACE!" Ace came running through the crowd. "What?" He said. "Heal her!" I said, "This is your fault!" He guiltily looked at me, "Ok..." He laid his head down near her heart, then her breathing stopped, then resumed again. "She won't have much energy. She can't get up for another day, nor lift anything." "Thanks Ace," I grumbled.

I sat next to Carrot, I heard Moon say, " you can leave Ace, I will ke-" "no I will keep her safe, plus I need to let Rosalie be with Taio." I stared at the ground, my heart collapsing at the fact that i had given up. "they are better together than we were, I said crestfallen. Moon took his hoof and lifted my face up, he looked at me with a kind expression. "hey, don`t let her get you down, trust me if I have my way, he will not stay here." "trust me, I always get my way." He smiled and walked off, i nuzzled Carrot to make sure she was still responsive. Then I stared up at the night sky. "hey Carrot, i knew i was never gonna be a part of your family. Whether it was me being with Rosalie or being in your herd, I knew it was never meant to be. Taio is better off with her anyway, who wants a failure for a family member, anyhow." i turned to her with a pained expression and looked back at the sky. " please get better, I wouldn't know what to do without you, your the mother I never had." I stood up and watched over Carrot. I felt i owe this to her for letting me be here in the herd. So i stood figuring out different plans to get rid of my painful remains of my heart and move on. I was just a piece in a puzzle that was never supposed to fit in.

*Carrot* Damn telekinesis. If I didn't try to provoke a fight with Moon, I wouldn't have picked up a boulder with my mind, threw it at a mountain and lost all of my energy....I could still feel the drop of blood falling from my nose. (Blood drops from my nose because whenever you use telekinesis because your brain is working really hard). I heard Ace say something, but my energy was all gone, and I was too out of it to hear. I just wanted what's best for Rosalie, and if Taio is best for Rosalie, so be it. I never really knew Ace, but I did know that he loved my Rosalie, so I want to please him as well....just when I thought love triangles were gone, they fall right back. Fun. Example: static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elevenst_6.png*Rosalie* "Ace, don't." I told him, but he kicked the wall, and rocks fell in the entrance, keeping up from leaving. "Why do you love him so much?" Ace asked, anger and sadness in his eyes. "He's the last thing I have of Storm...and he called me beautiful..." I said, looking down at my hooves. "So what?! I've called you beautiful many times!" Ace snapped. I didn't respond. I don't know who I loved anymore. "Listen...Ace...I love you. I really do...I don't know anymore." I told Ace, and he walked over to me. "I know. Love me instead. I love you!" Ace said, like he was spilling out his guts. "I do to..." I responded.

"You don't have to love anyone," I told Rosalie. "But their all pressuring me to love someone!" She said. "Listen choose whoever your heart desires. Also, don't just go after someone that calls you beautiful. Get to know them first. They might not be as they seem. Someone who looks beautiful and acts nice doesn't mean they can't hurt you." "Hurt me? How?" "Like them loving you then leaving you. It can hurt your soul. Then their's a hole in your soul that can't be fixed. Like when you dig a hole in the ground then try and cover it back up. People can still see where you dug the hole because theirs a leftover ditch that can't be filled you understand?" I looked at Rosalie, I could tell she had a new meaning of the world. "I understand. But, how do I tell them I need to make a decision? How do I tell them that I need to wait a little bit before I make my decision on who my true love will be?" She asked me. "Just tell them that you can be their friend. That you need a little more time to decide who you love. Tell them that it's your decision, not theirs. That they can't do anything to make you decide. You are in control. Remember that girlie." I say, "Now, I say it's time for bed. How about you?" She nods her head, yes. "Then goodnight my sweet," I say. I turn to leave when she says, "Thanks, dad, goodnight." "Your welcome, goodnight," I say, then I leave her little cave. I walk over to my and Carrot's cave. Carrot is lying awake waiting for me. "You were gone long. Where were you?" She asked. "Just giving Rosalie words of wisdom," I said as I lay down next to her. "She needs it." She said.
