I trotted beside Sameira, my gait smooth and even. Sameira's tongue was rolled out, and her dual eyes are wandering. I look down at her as we go along down a beaten path in the Fields. Sameira halts all of a sudden, puffing out her chest and perking her ears. I look over at her, confused. The last time she had done this there was a rabbit nearby. Was there another one somewhere? I peered around but saw nothing. In the distance I heard a child's shout, but that was all. I watch as Sameira shoots into the tall grass, her tiny frame vanishing. I frowned, racing after her.
"Sameira!" I call her name, my high voice hitting the air. Sameira was barking like never before. I opened my wings, letting air catch me. I tried to concentrate, trying to keep myself steady. I remained only a few feet, but I was high enough to peek my head above the grass. There I spotted Sameira, our bond tugging me towards her. I spotted a filly a little older then me being chased by another pup, similar to Sameira. I frowned as I watched Sameira chase the pup. It was another Hellhound she was after, one who looked to be playfully chasing the brindled filly. I swept down nearby, rolling in the grass. My landing needed to be worked on for sure, my legs were too weak to slow me from hurdling out of the sky. I jumped onto my hooves, screaming Sameira's name at the top of my lungs.
After several minutes, I lost the filly and her dog. Sameira raced towards me, her tongue lolled out. I looked down at her, a frown on my face. She looked at me with big guilty eyes, her pink tongue having been sucked into her mouth. Sameira looked away from my burning amber eyes, and I didn't speak to her as I headed towards the general direction of the filly and her dog. I spotted them, and raced after them. I stood a few feet from them, hoping they would stop so I could apologize for the trouble. I kept Sameira close with a mental leash, one that I was holding onto tightly. I would not let her go, for fear that she would try to attack the two innocents. That was my job.
