From hunger to Starvation

[ღRedwoodღ]

Toff was searching for food and water, anyway it came. She'd been eating bark ever since winter started, but it was hard to get it off and actually chew... She was just skin and bones, her ribs looked like they had nothing between them with Rubber caked onto it.

Searched desperately, till finally she reached the grassy hills. She knew the was a river here somewhere... She began to trot, limping her backleg because of infection getting worse and worse from a prairie dog bite when Bear, Ares, and Allura first had their talk.

She trotted slow and easily, the wobble of her bones and the fears of slipping without seeing. Suddenly, she felt something like a rock, she slipped and fell, her cranium almost bashing into it. Her audits pricked to feel freeze of this rock greatly... Ice!

She attempted to get up, but too slippery, she fell. She tried once more... Bang! 5 more times, she was now sore in 5 places. She couldn't get up. She tried again and again and ag-CRACK!

She felt icy all around her. It engulfed, and the feel of pain errupted. Like pressurous cold, the feel of numbing with pain, the intensity of feeling your own mucles being frozen...

I hate water, she thought, this being her second time stuck. In desperation, she called, feeling her lungs fil with water. She swallowed some, and the only part of her that felt good was the wonderful beautiful taste of icy water.

She kicked the earther under her. She felt her cranium smash into something: Ice. Again. Ice. Again. Harder Ice.

The current was pushing her farther down the aisle. Her cranium felt numbing on her cheeks. She paniced. Lashing out did no good. She continued, till a smash was heard. It cracked and she felt freeze on her head.

She thought she felt the air pushing against her. She pushed up to get out, but felt a pain on her head and the hard ice. Blood silently flowed from her cranium cap, like smoke thin and crisp, snaking down the water. It continued.

She felt it carress her more and more, until she paniced again, and screamed loudly, knowing it wouldn't do any good. She continued, until the world slipped away from her already unseeing eyes. She felt an exsistance, did she have a chance? A starving horse, hurt in many places, already losing the survival battle from a bite of a prarie dog wasn't worth saving... bu she still felt the warmth of the fire that was inside of her, getting smaller and smaller...

(I didn't know if she was still being carried by the current or what so i just posted as if sh ewsa stopped )

Diablo was wondering about,ears perked forward as he trotted on by.Then picking up his pace he cantered towards the river but hadnt notice it and canter atop it then realizing he backed up.Lowering his nape he sniffed the ice before raising his head once again.Then he caught what looked like blood streaming on by.Snorting he looked around but seen nothing that could have caused this.A worrysome look took diablos expression something was wrong he could sence it.

Then he seen something under the ice it was a horse or so it looked to be one.Grunting he stepped 'pone the hard ice,but bakced off again after he heard a craking sound.Snorting he had no choice walking 'pone the ice he stepped around the horse figure.He could see the blood coming from a wound and he knew he had to get this horse out soon.

Taking his front hoof he began to pound on the ice,trying to brake it.The ice craked but didn't brake,moving on around the horse figure he pounded on the ice trying his best not to brake the ice on the horse.He didn;t know how long this horse has been in this cold water but he knew he was running out of time it was bleeding and in water probably below 0.His one hoof wasn't working so know he used both front hooves,bagning against the ice with all his might.

Toff heard a slightpound. The flame in her flickered slightly, and she kicked out. her hooves sucked into the mud. She pulled in, but the mud stayed sucking at her hooves. She closed her eyes, but the darkness stayed the same. Her head was light weight and throbbing so hard, it came in continous waves. Each attempt to figure out what was going on, it'd be washed away and forgotten... Where was she? Not breathing, water every - the whoosh came, and it all disappeared. She lost that she was there, and began forcing the thoughts of getting rid of the waving.

At each flail, her muscles, which were becoming frozen, stopped rippling out, and stopped completely. She didn't feel the rush of the water anymore, she thought she was in the same spot. The smokey rub of blood snaked around, and down and out. She could not feel the sucking feel of the mud now on her sides nor the spray of the ice that drifted down the water. The pounding she still heard, she was not sure if it was her heart beating...

[Diablo]

Diablo hooves and leg began to ache from the force he was creating on the hard ice.Why was he attemtping to save someone he doesnt really know why is risiking braking a leg or falling under the ice as well,well he couldn't really tell you why but he was doing it.The ice craked and fell in but it was quit a distance from the horse,snorting he pounded again next to the hole making it bigger,then repeating it till it was close enough to the horse.

He didn't know how this horse got under here or how he was going to get it out but he would try.Grunting he tryed to figure out hwo9 he could get the horse out with out falling in an risking the two dieing from drowning or freeze to death.Then coming up with a way that seemed only the thing to do at the moment he sretched his neck out his head under the ice grabbing a big chunk of the horses mane he began to pull back his hooves slipped here and there but he kept pulling hoping this would work for he knew this horse had only a little time left before it would freeze to death or bleed to death.

Toff heard a crack and then she fell. She began to fall into nothing but air, and suddenly, she felt cold. Freezing. Her insides were pushing upward into her throat. There was a noise, a boom, and a sudden force hit her, like air bursting. She felt a dark abyss inside her, churn and getting bigger.

And then she woke up.

She felt water falling under her - she was being pulled out. She was too numb to feel the se of ice, but she felt the world get a sudden some degrees colder, though it actually was getting warmer. She opened her eyes (useless...) To assure herself that she was alive. She began to flail, not knowing what was going on.

She threw her boa to the side to hit something warm. A horse. She pulled her head back, not knowing what to say, and looked down.

[Diablo]

Diablo kept pulling till the two were off the ice,then as he was about ot let go felt her head hit his leg,grunting he instantly let her go.Looking down at her he then realized it was toff breathing heavly from the cold air and the amount of srength he had to use to get her out.Then finally catching his breath he mangaged to speak "You are one lucky horse" he stated he ment if he wasn't out thershe might have died then he layed down infront of toff "Are you ok?" he asked wondering if she had any broken bones or wounds besides the one on her head.
