Midnight slowed to a canter as she entered the circle of 5 trees known as the Redwood Center. She stopped a little ways in, breathing hard, thin sides heaved but she was obviously happy. She lowered her head to the ground, there were patches of dirt starting to show in places. She knew that Diablo was right behind her and she turned to him to speak.
So, Here we are, the redwoo center.

Diablos pace slowed as he entetered what he guessed was redwood center.Then seeing where midnight had stopped he trotted towards her before stopping as well.Breathing deeply he gazed around before glancing towards midnight hearing her words he smirked before speaking "Yeah i kinda guessed that" he teased glancing midnights way.

MIdnight smiled thinking Bold, handsome, funny, Could I possibly have a crush on him? The thought made her scold herself. But she found herself fighting the urge to look at him.
Yah, well it looks better in the summer. How long have you lived in the redwoods?
Small talk. Not a big deal question, just a simple small talk one.

Diablo smirked glancing at the trees that surrounded the center redwoods.Then catching her words drifted his eyes back towards midnight .Yah, well it looks better in the summer. How long have you lived in the redwoods? then parting his velvets replied "Not to long maybe a week or so" he exclaimed still glancing at midnight "How about yourself?" he wondered?

I was born here. I don't know a world but here.
She spat the words, she had always wished to know a different place then what they called the Redwoods.
So, do you like it here so far?

Diablo listened as she spoke "Yeah when i was just a young colt i dreamt of seeing life outside the stable,but i found out quickly dreams aren't always what they seem to be" he found his gaze shifting towards the ground as he spoke the last few words of his sentence.Then catching midnights question he smirked before spekaing "It's suitable"

Midnight caught his smirk and wondered about it. She couldn't think of anything to say and an awkward silence fell over them.
I'm sorry if that brought up any painful memories for you.. I didn't mean to.
There was something about the way he spoke those words. She shivered, it was freezing here! Why hadn't she realized that until just now?

Diablo glanced midnights way listening to her words "Please don't apalogize,its better to talk about the past than to let it haunt you your entire life" he spoke wiht a smirk as he then noticed she was shivering,snorting he moved closer to her so his body touched hers,trying to keep her warm.

Those are wise words, I will remember them.
Midnight thought of her own past, which had been anything but easy. She tought of her mother, who she had hated, her father who she had never known well, and her sister, who couldn't be found. She thought of how hurt her family had looked when she had been cruel to them a while ago and she thought of how worried she was about Blue Mist. Midnight felt the heat of another body against hers and looked up to see that Diablo had moved closer to her. Tears formed in her eyes, It was her fault Blue Mist was gone and if anyone in her family died looking for her that would be her fault as well. A single teardrop drop onto the snow and froze almost imediately.
Love, can it sooth the bleeding soul? Love, do I even know what that is?[/i]

Diablos expression shifted suddenly as tears began to fall from midnights eyes.Yes he was a dark and a lone but a friend who is hurt is something he can not ignore even if he was showing a soft side.FOr years he was confined in a small stall,he lived in total darkness not once seeing day.He was abused and beaten everynight he was basically starved.He hated life and still does but still moves on something that some horses can not achieve.SNorting harshly he gently nuzzled her cheek bone while whipping away a tear sadness was soemthing diablo has never felt so couldn't really understand her mood but he kenw what tears were."Tears are unique others might think there just a reaction to sadness,but you want to know what i think" he paused for a moment then nuzzled her once again "I think its a way of telling yourself your not afraid that your strong and nothing can stand in your way,though those are just words that my father used to tell me but i could never foreget them even if i tried cause really they'er true if you think about it" he smirked while glancing down at midnight.

Someone once told me I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders...
She felt the gentle touch of his muzzle brushing away the tears of fear and listened to his lyrics.
It's my sister
Midnight choked out then composed herself, it took a few minutes.
I was born from to lights, and my sister was light, I left them, and my sister grew mad, she ran away she was found in a light herd almost dead, now she's gone again and no one knows where she is. If she dies, I feel it will be all my fault.
Midnight let the word loose, it felt so right to finally tel someone how she felt, how she was scared for the sister that she should hate. She felt like a huge weiht was lifted off her shoulders.
But really that's just how heavy my own problems are...[/color][/i]

Diablo listened carfully to her words and her could understand her sadness.Snorting he glanced towards midnight again "Your tears have a meaning then" he spoke softly though harsh and deep.He stood close by her his nape arched."I was born into a world that most horses would be proud of but i hated it" he spoke with a faitn smirk "My father pressured me all the time to be the best to become a world dressage champion to follow him in his prints but i refused" he glanced towards midnight as he spoke his last word "Then when they tried to teach me the wya of dressage i lost it and killed the trainer my owners were horrified and sent me away to learn a lesson or as i put it but they wanted a more agressive trianer to work with me" he paused once again glancing straight ahead of him "This is where i regreted refusing the offer,i was sent to a evil man he kept me in a stall big enough for me to make a full circle but no room to walk,it had four walls and a roof that were sealed tight and even in day it seemed to be night,each night he would take me out to only beat me with whipes and chains making me become crazy to put it in simple words" he smirked as he called himself crazy but continued his story "I was blinded in my right eye by a chain,i reared to late and the chain sliced through causing me to only see darkness" he glanced back at midnight as he was finished with his story well most of it anyway.

She looked at his eyes. She should had been able to tell that he was blind since she had spent so much time with Toff, blind in both eyes, Toff.
If you ask me all tears have meaning, especially those that come from the deepest depths of a bleeding soul. That's horrible, and I thought that my life was tough, or my mothers, but that seems so much worse.
Midnight looked around at the swirling snow, two black forms should be noticeable in the snow but it started to pick up, swirling faster and faster, the wind howling. Was this a blizzard???

What's happening?
Midnight cried, the wing would have snatched her words if Diablo hadn't been so close. Her white orbs opened wider and wider, straining to see. They caught site of an ebonite form to her right and moved even closer to it. She had never experienced winds this strong or snow this freezing and harsh. She closed her eyes and opened her eyes, the wind howling was the strongest sound, then her breath and heartbeats, then oh so faintly the sound of Diablo's breath.What would they do? Would they brave out the winds and snow, would they try to travel, would they live?[/color]

Diablo barely caught her words but couldn't quit make them out,the loud screaming of the wind and the force of teh wind was becoming over powering traveling or even moving could end deadly and was too risky,they had no choose but to wait out the storm.Snow flakes blew at fast speeds making it impossible to even open your eyes.He kpt his ears back then buckling his leg fell to the ground and layed there hoping midnight would do the same.

Midnight heard the thud of Diablo's body hitting the ground and fell down next to him, she didn't have much of a choice, the wind was blowing so hard. The soft feel of the snow around her boy soaked her, the cold wind bit at her wet coat. Audits swiveled trying to catch any noise other than the wind and her breath. She daren't try to stand, she dared not move. She tried to open her orbs but the wind forced them closed. She forced back the fear that overtook her and kept calm, a difficult task in this wind.

Diablo stayed down and curled up his legs,the chiling air blew over head as he burried his head inbetween him and midnight.Shivers began to roll down his back snorting he riased his head making sure midnight was ok,nugding her neck he burried his head again.Trying to keep her and himself as warm as possible,his lungs began to hurt from the cold air he was breathing in.

Midnight tore one eye open at the feeling of something touching her face. She saw Diablo Bury his head and wondered if that would help. She turned her own head to the left and buried stuck it in the small space between the two horses. She was scared half to death.
