He must have thought her insane to come over to him after she'd shown that she wanted nothing to do with being close to him. Yet that haunted side of Ruger still called to her in a way nothing else had before. She didn't feel fear when she was beside him, only a deep urge to understand him and be understood, in turn. She didn't expect him to tell her the story of him and Zimri. Who was she, after all? Just a strange mare he'd claimed and then lost in a battle. She was no one. This Zimri, she sounded like she was everything. She was, at least. Evanescence' heart broke for Ruger, hearing the pain in his voice. She found herself wanting to fight, if only to cause his offending father the same pain she saw in Ruger's eyes. She knew she wouldn't feel broken if she saw that. She would only feel triumphant.

She'd never had a fighting bone in her body, but she fed off of Ruger's strength. She wanted to heal him, and in turn, maybe it would heal her as well. He was quiet as she told her side of the story, never once interrupting. She knew she probably seemed gullible, waiting for some stallion to come back and show her his undying love. She was always a romantic at heart, and look where it had gotten her. As he turned his head to her, she fought the urge to back peddle away from him, tensing as she fought her instincts and stood her ground. If he attacked her now, so be it. It would be her own fool hardy heart to blame, once more. Instead she felt the lightest of brushes across her cheek. She blinked in surprise, watching him with bated breath. Her nostrils flared, taking in his stronge cologne.

She didn't know why she felt so drawn to him, but it was moments like these that showed her that maybe it wasn't all a lost cause. He told her that she would conquer her fear and she couldn't help but smile a little. "I hope you're right. And I hope that you find another light in the darkness. Not one to replace the beautiful one you lost, but everyone deserves a happy ending. I want you to find yours." She found that she meant the words, finding new determination in the gentle way he spoke. Her own chest tightened with new feelings, wondering how Zimri must have felt being embraced by this stallion. Just being in his presence made her feel safe. She felt jealous of Zimri, of the part of Ruger she would always hold, and yet she also felt grateful to the mare she would never get to meet. Grateful that she had a chance to light up Ruger's life, if only for a short time. Maybe he would still have hope that the light did exist. He just had to find it.
