Shadow tore out of the trailer she had been forced into and bucked her way into the tiny metal pen. She found an old gelding and stood beside him, quivering with fear, her beautiful coat hiddden by layers of dust aand dirt and old sweat. She looked out from under her once shining forelock aand peered at passing people, wondering if she'd ever escape this living hell of what her life was now. She snapped at a hard looking man who stopped to touch her. He jumped back and smackedd her nose. It stung, and she lunghed for him, but was suddenly restrained by a rope around her neck. It burned a welt into her skin as she was dragged back and tied tihghtly to the fence. A wrangler strode up to her and roped her legs and secured them to the fence as well, so her whole side pressed against the cold metal. He threw an oversized halter on her and snugged a stallion chain around her nose. It seared with pain, she glared at him until he disappeared. She wanted someone who cared for her..

Heven happened to be walking by,and spotted the mare..She wa a bueatful horse,despite the dirt..Heavn glared at the idiot that tied her down,and stepped into the pen,talking softly as she reached out to gently touch the mare,"How much is she?" Heaven called after the man,she knew her parents might be a litle upse about he buying another horse,but if they could afford her...Heaven certainly couldn't leave her there...

Shadow tried to through her head up at this strange creature. A ray of light, in a sky full of rain clouds. At her touch, the mare leaped, trying desperately to escape her bonds.
Who is she? Will she take me?
A skinny man sucking on a fat cigar strode over. Ye want that marrre? If you can getter into yer traiiiler, then ya can 'av 'er fer free. His thick accent drawled on 'mare' and 'trailer'. He slapped Shadow's hip in a fake show of love. He didn't notice the mare's ears flatten.
Shadow pinned her ears against her skull and strained once more agaainst the ropes. One rope snapped; the one holding her right hind leg. She drew it back and then shot it towardss the man. He was sent flying through the air. A gleam of satisfaction flitted through her deep, liquid orbs, and then she tried to turn to the human, the female. She reached out her nose in a way to tell her that she wasn't really, dangerous, but had a fear of men.

Heaven smiled,she knew this kind of mare..She had one already..She picked up the phone,and called her parents,asking them to come pick her up,and bring the horse trailer...When they arived,they were both eyeing the mare,but Heaven gently patted her,and untied hger from the fence,taking her time,and talking gently to her..She tried to gued the amre towards the trailer,taking it very slow..The mare would need alot of work,but Heaven knew she could help her..
Easter had been the same way,just alot younger...

Shadow willingly followed the female out of the pen, whinnying proudly as she was just outside of it. She saw the trailer and balked, fear washing over her. The girl was coaxing her....she dropped her head and chargeed up the ramp, tremblbing and sweating. She was scared..

Shadow tried to turn, but the trailer confined her. She kicked out angrily, and suddenly slipped. She lay on the ground, trying to get her bearings, and then struggled to rise. Finally, she stood shakily, her legs splayed, and hung her head dejectedly. A patch of light alerted her and she lifted her head to peer through the little window. Flashing landscape...what was going on?? She swished her tail and pinned her ears against her skull, kicking out again..
Where are they taking me? I want out,NOW!
She squealed, memories washing over her. She tried to rear and smacked her poll on the roof.
What.....? Help me...
She slid to the floor in pain, almost unconsious. ...Heaven girl.....? Help...
OOC: Her thoughts are in colours. If you want, Heaven can hear them...
But the colour changess upon her mood..red, angry, green, curious, teal, confused..

Heaven worridly glanced behind her,but she knew the quicker they got there,and she got her unloaded,the better,so she didn't ask her parents to stop,she just watched out the window,making sure the mare was okay..A few scrapes were nothing compared to what she would have gotten if she stayed at the auction...
