Just Stop Leaving me Alone[open]

[Amy]

A shiver passes down her back, fear crawling up her subconscious like a spider who's spinning it's web to trap her like a fly. Her wings ruffle, their feathers standing on end, the whites of her eyes showing as mentally she's trying to grip for a hold of her emotions. The name of this fearful mare? Aureate a name which means light, though she is not light at all she's darkly colored, even her eyes are a gloomy gray color but maybe it has something to do with her bright white wings but it doesn't matter right now what matters is that Aureate is alone so very alone right now. And she hates it, she hates it so much.

Aureate couldn't move! The wind blew against her trying to urge her up into the air but she couldn't do it! Looking around her she saw shadows, and each movement they made she flinched. She was fine a minute ago but that was because she was lost in thought as she was walking, but after realizing she was on the edge of the Winged Territory she was about to turn around before she realized that she was all alone. her mind tried to slap itself out of the position she was in, the terrified way she was moving her eyes, as if someone was watching her. If she was caught so close to the Fallen's territory a Fallen Warrior, or even worse Crow himself, might appear and they might be suspicious of her. Damn herself and her useless fears! Aureate's legs locked into place, her flee to safety instinct about to kick in, but if she went running wild back to where Winged members were she might make them worry about nothing. So she couldn't do anything, useless this is why she chose to stay a Herd Member because she felt so useless when trapped like this! The one time she needed Stranger around her and he wasn't here, 'great thanks big brother!' Aureate thought angrilly.

The sun was setting quickly, casting long, eerie shadows on the ground through the forest's trees. Although she had not encountered anything threatening in the woods, Eden had the feeling she did not want to spend the night in it. Trotting quickly through the undergrowth, the tall, white mare emerged, shaking her long tail from a thorn bush. Snorting, Eden made her way deeper into the Winged herd's territory. She felt more comfortable the farther she walked, and after accidentally stumbling into Fallen territory, she didn't think she'd be wandering away again anytime soon. Although she was not a member of the Winged herd, Eden hoped that she could be, but hadn't encountered anyone yet. This upset her. She was getting rather lonely out here.

Letting her gaze wander to the treeline of the forest, Eden caught sight of something. She almost didn't see it, but a pair of bright, white wings got her attention, drawing the figure of a mare that had previously been disguised in shadow. A herd member! Her heart jumped, and she trotted towards the mare, hope rising in her chest. She paused as she neared, not wanting to surprise the mare. "Are you a Winged herd member?" She asked simply, coming to a halt and watching the dark mare.

Aureate's eyes moved across the land, growing more worried, more fearful as the day dragged on and the light which was her greatest support through a difficult time like this faded and the shadows took over, crawling along and even closer towards her. Aureate swore she felt a scream appear on the edge of her throat threatening to come out. They were coming closer! The shadows ingulfed her quickly they appeared to be almost like wolves clawing their way to up her. They were going to kill her! No please no! She couldn't move, she couldn't talk as fear gripped her body wth it's terrible hold. Someone, anyone save her! A voice! Hearing the voice Aureate's fear fled her body allowed her to move, she blinked her gray eyes relief flooding them as though this mare was her savior. And this mare obviously wasn't up to anything with the shadows because her coat was so very light. Her question, a Winged member? Aureate nodded her head, gaining back some of that great spirit she had when around others. "Yeah I'm a member, why is there something you need?" Aureate felt no fear or suspicion from this mare, probably because in her mind this unknown female had saved her from a terrible death by the shadows, but this mare didn't need to know that. No one did.

The stallion fly over his herdlands. In a circling motion. He looked down upon it. When he noticed two mares. He noticed one without wings. And one without. He instantly flew down. He landed with a rather loud thud. He aproached silently. His tension relaxed as he realized whom it was. He twitched his wings and began to aproach the two. "Hello" he called in a friendly tone. Aetos came within a few feet of the mares. "Sorry if it frightened you" he added.

"Oh," Eden nodded as the mare answered, suddenly feeling a combination of shyness, embarrassment, and inferiority. Why had she asked that? Of course she was a Winged herd member! She had wings, didn't she? Her eyes kept wandering to the mare's wings. "I was just wondering," Eden had only just arrived recently, and had spoken to a select few herd members (primarily those with status among the herd), she hadn't really interacted with anyone and was still a stranger. "I'm Eden," She added, almost as an afterthought, hoping the other mare wasn't growing suspicious of her. She glanced at her wings again.

Suddenly, the sound of another landing not-so-gracefully surprised Eden and she jumped the slightest bit, casting her gaze to where the leader of the herd had just landed. He approached them with a greeting, and Eden smiled faintly, wondering nervously if she needed to bow or something. Instead, she dipped her head slightly with a soft, "Hello," before she took a step back in order to face both the mare and the stallion. Her gaze flitted briefly between them - or more specifically, their wings - and she once again felt the sinking feeling of inferiority. She tried to wave it off, however. "No, it is okay." She replied to the leader. Of course, she had been a little bit startled, but his entrance hadn't been a problem.

Aureate bounced on her hooves, acting like she would normally but she still noticed the darkness twirling with all it's unknown dangers. Flicking her tail uncertainly she couldn't help but giggle when the mare suddenly seemed so nervous she must be one of the new members that Aureate had heard about, it seemed there were a lot more regular horses than winged in here now it must have it's good and bad points though. The bloodlines were no longer fresh in the Winged or Fallen anymore, the ones that were pure were reguarded highly not that it matters much. This mare was named Eden, a nice name. Aureate smiled happily, excitement budding inside of her for almost no real reason, simply because she was around someone! "Nice to meet you Eden! My name is Aureate!" She spoke this with a happy and slightly loud voice, it was much louder than what you would expect coming out of a fragile looking mare like Aureate.

At the familiar sound of wings Aureate's ears flicked back and forth her head lifted to the dark heavens above, a fearful thought of shadow creatures coming for her hit ehr imagination and she stepped back forcing a calm look on her face though these fearful thoughts ran like while through her mind. Suddenly a loud thud echoed and she jumped back her teeth a bit bared her pure white winges ruffled making herself look larger than she was but Aureate calmed down quickly whenshe realized who it was. "Aetos!" Aureate said joyfully she looked at Eden who she just realized was looking between both herself and Aetos but her gaze was not on their faces but simply their wings oh so tgat was how it was. Of course a non-winged horse would feel a bit inferior to winged horses. Right? But Aureate said nothing about this not wanting to embarrass the other mare, looking at Aetos with shining dark grey eyes she opened her mouth to speak to him "What brings you over here Aetos?" She asked cockinghe rehad curiously at him

Aetos shrugged. "I walk through the herdlands often to make sure things alright and such.. also i just enjoy looking around quite a bit" he said smiling.
