all the records they don't play the same

The stallion’s eyes locked on hers.

Move!

It was as though she was stuck in a dream, unable to lift her legs or work her muscles. She was just rigid, blue eyes wide and fear stricken across her face.

Run and don't turn back! The shout tried to press into the fright inspired fog she felt trapped in. When she inhaled, she could smell the tang of blood and the musky scent of wildcat, looming just behind, momentarily caught off-guard by its own injury. I’ll be right behind you.

Closer now, the strange stallion was. The blood smell was stronger as was the Lagoon and the sea. His nose pushed hard into her shoulder and set her off-balance. Instinct made her catch herself before she fell, and all of the sudden the rest of the reality broke through. Miriella blinked a few times as she looked with panicked confusion at the strange Lagoon stallion.

Please run! He asked, and Miriella didn’t have to hear it again. She only managed a sharp nod before her narrow hooves dug into the icy ground, managing to break through the thin layer that’d settled to find firmer earth to get her purchase. She launched her body forward, back through the trees the way she’d come, choosing to go deeper into the forest rather than outside it. Maybe among the trees they’d lose the cat and keep themselves sheltered against the worst of the growing storm. Any time her gold and white body dashed through a break in the trees she felt the icy winds whip hard at her body, stinging her eyes and nose. Miriella kept running until her lungs were burning and she was sure the cat could no longer be in pursuit.

Her hooves pushed awkwardly into the ground and dug up the cold earth as she slid herself into a stop. Her next few steps were almost hops as she caught her gait and turned around, cream tail lifted high off her haunches and head raised up high. The whites of her eyes were still just showing as she huffed large breaths and looked back the way she’d come. Was the Lagoon stallion okay? Had he managed to follow her? Had she lost the mountain cat?
