Catalina

Trapped in the perpetual blackness of night, without the milky moon’s haze to grant ease of passage, nor sparkling star-shine to encourage her on, the young horse stepped quietly, carefully and alone.

It had been many months since Kanti’s warmth had soothed her soul, and while she did not understand the mare’s sudden desertion, no grudge or angst tarnished the treasure trove of fond memories they had filled. Deep beneath the gentle pulse of her heart, Cat often wondered if it wasn’t her father’s doing; his selfish lustful existence. Sadly she presumed as much, because her mother’s heart was weakened by her romantic cravings, it was her vulnerability; and her heart had always been chained to his, unfaithful self.

Cat would not succumb like that; love was for the feeble and hopeless, and the resolute filly’s intentions lay galaxies away from that sort of silliness.

It was not easy to see though the smothering black, and so she turned conscientiously to the senses which remained, hyper vigilant and ready. Sooty-cream ears swivelled constantly, straining to dissect the delicate melody of night-life so that she could make some sense of her surroundings. A predicament it was not, Cat was by no means lost; neither did she feel exposed as she slipped delicately above gnarled tree roots through the hoarfrost which was strewn thickly across her path.

Each nostril flared at the end of her slim, feminine face, sucking the scents from the billowy breeze as it tousled the bristly pine needles above; so too the long, lazy hair which draped stylishly about her burly shoulders. There were many around her, she knew, though their identities were unfamiliar as she continued along. Cat had spent her childhood dabbling through the wilds, without a home; without security. But she could waste no more of her life wandering; the time had come to find somewhere to settle- to grow.
