Hoofbeats could be heard closing in from all directions as the moon rose in the sky barely casting its light on the inhabitants below. Looking down to his feet a dark figure lay motionless in the grass as the thick scent of blood filled his nostrils. It was impossible for him to comprehend what had happened to the poor girl but it was his scent that gave it away, one that he knew all too well. Sinking to his knees he frantically tried to rouse the girl before it was too late, time was running out along with her life. Pressing his muzzle to the gaping wound in an attempt to stop the blood he could feel the tears streaming down his face as the crimson only continued to spread across the ground. A rattling breath escaped the mare before her body stilled completely never to move again, never to live again. Staring down at her through blurred eyes the sob that tore from his throat was unlike anything that he had ever heard before. Everything ceased to exist around him as his blood felt as if it had turned to ice freezing him exactly where he lay curled against the mare's back. By the time the hoofbeats stilled behind him he heard the joyous laughter tear from the beast's throat as teeth tore into his flesh pulling him to his feet once more. By now his coat was stained with the girl's blood as his own slowly mixed into the combination. The teeth held painfully onto the crest of his neck before he felt the force slam into his chest sending him staggering sideways only to be stopped abruptly by the demon holding onto him. More pain exploded as the teeth released their hold only to clamp down on a fresh piece as hooves slammed into his ribs sending him falling to the ground with a loud thump.

Gasping for air the grey ripped his head backwards as his feet staggered underneath him to hold his mass. Sides heaving rapidly to try and take in oxygen, eyes wide and dilated, with a thick layer of sweat coating his hide the dappled stallion stumbled out into the darkness feeling as if his heart would explode. Steadying himself as things came rushing back to him he sighed loudly letting his head drop towards the ground. Kiara was before him in an instant wanting to make sure that her bonded was alright sensing the fear and utter despair. "It was only a dream, it was only a dream." He said silently almost as if to reassure himself that it was nothing more. It had been ages since that nightmare had risen to the surface like this, it was much better hidden away where it could hurt nobody but himself. The deep scars upon his neck burned as a reminder of that night when his father had beaten him into submission. It had been him that had killed the girl and left her for dead when he had just happened upon her one night. Father had obviously not been happy with him for finding her corpse or for reacting in such a manner, so he had punished him brutally inflicting many wounds upon his frame. He had only been around a year old.

Shaking off the terror the stallion pushed himself into a canter heading out to start his patrols, he couldn't stay still he just needed to forget. Taking a few minutes to cool himself off and clean the sweat from his hide at the water's edge the grey returned to the border to do his circuits needing to just do something to occupy his mind. Kiara joined him after awhile just to make sure that he was alright but he was also thankful for the company.
