fragile hope Posted on November 12, 2014 at 01:59:39 PM by p e y t o n
As Peyton followed along behind her sister, her eyes watching the ground as she cautiously placed each hoof, she had to work faster to keep up with her taller sibling's stride. The buckskin was nervous to say the least since she had only went to the shore one other time and there had been plenty of rocks there. What if they cut a leg or something?! Anxiety twisted in her stomach but she kept quiet on her fears as she had not found a reason to mistrust Stardust, knowing her sister would look out for her.
'Dont worry' rings in her ears and for a moment she glances up to look at Stardust's back. Did she know Peyton was scared? It wouldn't be hard to figure out since she was usually worrying over something. Suddenly her mind was jerked away from that thought as the filly trips but not hard, only enough to give a lurch in her gate and make her pay attention to the ground again.
"Stardust, your so brave. I hope someday I can be more like you." She says honestly, her ears twisting back almost shamefully. Peyton didn't know why she was so skittish, she had been that way since she was born. It had nothing to do with Fly or her protectiveness as many times she had tried to convince the buckskin to go play with her siblings amongst the herd. But Peyton's mind would always reel with the possibilities of someone getting hurt so she would just stay at her mother's side in hopes they would be safe.
