Falls

My eyes scan the brute before me, his pale body almost shining in the faint glow of light. He was handsome, someone that should be more than a silent wraith in the forest. I am not sure how I have come to be in his presence, but I will take it for what it is at the moment. He was being kind, something I am not used to and it had my heart almost constricting in my chest. If I was anyone else, maybe I would be better at this chit chat thing? I could only pray that in time, my life would be easier, but with my reflection the way it is, there was no way I would heal from the wounds upon my mind for years to come, if ever.

“You do not have to leave…” My voice was soft, faint, almost unreadable. I did not wish to speak, but to go closer and scan his pale body. I had never seen a horse like this before and I was curious of his upbringing, of who he was as a horse. I was curious about him, who he had with him, and anything else that would have him almost acting like I was a danger. I know my body is not something pretty to see, the grey upon my flesh a reminder of killing my sibling, but here I stood staring at him like a dumbfounded rooster that had just hit a hot wire.
