just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind


The pain that came with the weight of a stallion as large as Oxy pressing down on her rib-cage, cracking and snapping bones was unlike anything the pale mare had ever experienced before. Her breath seemed to become locked within her lungs and try as she might she could not get enough oxygen to keep herself conscious. He, however, had one last punishment in store for her and as he lashed out at her back with his shod hoof she let loose a strangled cry of pain.

"Ráeru." She whispered her child's name and tried to stand to no avail. While she was barely able to lift her front half she could not, for the life of her, move her hind end. The pale mare collapsed, her body shuddering as she finally slipped from consciousness.

Muted voices and the dull sensation of something warm seeping into her body roused the mare back into a conscious state. d'Artagnan? She could hear his name in her head but did not have the strength to speak. Stop. Stop. He was wasting his time, she knew, because no matter what he did she could not seem to catch her breath properly. One of her ribs had to have punctured a lung, it was the only explanation. And her back. The bastard had broken it. There was no way that d'Artagnan could fix it. There was something else that was wrong, though. Something that she couldn't place but she knew.

"Take me with you."

"...no." Her vision was blurry as she opened her eyes. "Ráeru?" Was her daughter okay? Had she protected her or had the bastard made off with the foal after he'd broken the pale mare? Everything seemed so surreal, she felt as if she were floating rather than lying on the ground with her love standing over her. Kou coughed and could taste the unpleasant metallic taste of blood on her tongue. She never thought that she would be the one to go first. She had always thought that d'Artagnan's mouth would get him into trouble and would be his undoing.

Kou smiled as she thought of her doctor. "...I-I ... love ..." you. Her voice drifted and the light faded from her eyes as her breathing finally stilled and she was lost to oblivion.
