Her gaze was low to the ground even as hesitant steps were taken. She only looked up as the familiar small of the World's Edge entered her nose. She was home at long last...

Returning to look for her mother had been a bad idea. Sure her mother was alive.... But what the males of her old home now used her mother for was more than the young girl cared to think about. It had been a year since Kiara had left that place, but it had driven her insane as to the fate of her dam who had protected her so. Without so much as a word the young roan had left in the night to return. she knew had she asked anyone or told them of where she was going.... Well they would of tried to stop her. But maybe that would not of been such a bad idea.....

Kiara had arrived just as she had left World's Edge, under the cloak of night. Her mother had been easy enough to find... She was in a cave not far from the herd, some kind of magic holding her there. The mare's eyes had widened at the sight of her daughter, telling her to run and leave and she should not of return.. That was when she heard his voice for the first time... A tall well built stallion with a horn had been coming to see what the commotion was about. His words chilled the young roan to the bone, making her freeze in place. He told her should she fight or move he would kill her and her mother both for breaking the law of the land... But worst of all for Kiara, he was claiming her for the night.

He had beat her, the signs of her beating could still be seen in a cut below her right eye and several other marks along her body. But the marks on her body did not matter, it was what Kiara now held inside that made her sick. He used her just like the males did to those mares of the herd. She was now carrying his child. For a few days he had allowed her to stay in the cave with her mother, to see what her punishment had been. But on the night before he was to force her to the main herd Kiara made an escape again. She merely slipped away into the night.

The fact she was sure she now carried a foal inside her tore at the young fem. What would mirage and the rest of the Qian say? What would Breeze say? No she would not think of him, not now.. The main thing was she was home and would never leave World's Edge again.
