Where do you go when you've lost yourself... Bear though. He remembered who he really was, he was Redwood, not Bear. Bear was someone else. He felt like two horses. One had no emotions, and darkened everything. One was wild, a spirited mustang. But he wasn't sure if he was even either now. He was lost...
What he had, he lost. He had fame, he happily lost. He had a life, which he too lost. And the only thing he cared about, just left him. He wasn't mad at her though. Why would he? He was going through an emotional breakdown. He wasn't sure if he was mad, sad, angry, what. All the feelings came so fast, all he could do was run. Faster and faster. Running releived him. It felt like he was getting away. From Redwood, from Bear, from him.
He didn't know how to turn back, he ran forward. He felt nothing. He didn't care what he ran into, it felt like heaven to run. He ran through water, still gaining speed. Water splashed him, like a shadow trying to pull him in. Mud bit his feet, the cold water of the night was wonderful. The sun was setting, but he wouldn't allow it. He chased after it, faster and still faster. The water didn't slow him. He began to move up with the dirt. Dry land hit his ankles. He ran through the hole, that led to the center. He was going faster than he ever had. He did not know how fast, but everythinng was blurry... BAM! We felt his head go cold. A vibrating tingle. He fell down. His head hurt and he was dizzy. Everything was red and blurry. He got up. As his legs caught the ground to push the ground and continue, his eyes realeased a tear. Crystal clear, it fell slowly, Bear got up, running away from the world. He felt lost, Was he there just to suck up darkness like a sponge, the tear fell, falling through his pain, his life, his world he lived, hurt pain and suffering, it fell to the earth, He galloped away.

A silent red tinted,brown form watched from the shadows of the darkening Redwoods. She made no noise as she watched the stallion fall down. She felt nothing as opposed to the rush of feelings she could see in him eyes. She didn't know wether she should go talk to him seeing as he was the first horse she'd seen here all day. She decided to risk it. She plunged from the shadows and galloped after him, her shorter legs working over time to catch up.
The sun was getting low, making her bay coat tinge with an orangish-red color, as she ran wildly across the terra after the stallion. Kala soon drew up within a few strides of him, then called out.
"Are you,"
She paused for just a moment,
"Okay?"

Bear turned to a stop in fright. He had lost it. He had only lost one tear, and his eyes were watering. He heard the voice appear. He turned to see the mare, He'd never seen her before.
"I.. Umm"
he said, wondering what to say.
"I am fine. Just..."
He paused. He had to release his breath. He Was shaking a little from the rush of everything.
"No. I don't know you, I'm sorry, it's just no. I'm not. A lot is going on is all. It's confusing me."
He said that like he needed to ever since he was born. His breath was quick and short.

Kala nodded her head slowly as she listened. She too was confused, but on a much smaller level. She ahd no idea if she were dark, or light, or even neutral. Her parents were dark, but was that who she wanted to be? They had never shown her love or compassion. They had never let her roam or be a foal. She stayed by their sides day and night, without more than few harsh words spoken to her. Sometimes, they even went so far as to kick her and bite her. So she ahd to escape, to find herself and be herself. To be free.
But it was the stallion who needed help now, her own problems could wait.
" I am Kala, a rogue of sorts I suppose. If you want to talk, I will listen. "
She told him, her voice softening just a little from it's usally cool, sarcastic tone. Her eyes showed nothing of her emotion except a hint of understanding.

Bear Stared for a second, then finally decided, maybe this would just get his feelings out.
I Don't want to bore (I unno how to spell that...) you, but okay... I was a racehorse a long time ago. I got free, bearly, and that horrible day and that life I lived haunts me. But...
He sighed
When I came here, my life changed, and I met Allu-a mare, that I didn't know, I fell for, and I knew she'd fallen for me. I just didn't see that I had fallen for her till recently. and now, it's too late, she's found someone else. And there is nothing I can do about it. I am such a fool...
he turned his head away, he was broken. He had no reason to be wild...

Kala felt a strange feeling towards the stallion. She felt, sorry, for him? She guessed that was what it would be called.
" I have never had anything in my whole life that I could ever lose, except my life itself. Which isn't even much. I still have no idea who I am, or even who I want to be. I am, sorry, about the mare. That must be tough. And your life before, i suppose it may have been worse than mine."
She said, her voice sounding weird to her own ears. Here she was, showing, feelings?

No, it's fine. What happened to you?
She coughed afterward, from a quick breath. He was so sad. He was thinking of what he was to do now. Go back to the races? That would make him useful to those people, They need entertainment, and he didn't have anything else... Or maybe he just would go darker than regular. So much happened today. He fell in love, and then lost it... He broke down, and having fun, remembering how much he hated people, and he had small thoughts of going back... He needed to talk to someone, and Kala was nice enough to listen to his horror story he called his life.

Kala looked taken a back. No one had ever asked her anything, had never shown they cared even a slight bit about her. She wanted to tell him, he ahd told her his story, it was fair. But could she really let it all out? All the pain and confusion that she called her 'heart' ? She would try.
" I was born into a dark herd. My parents were the darkest leaders ever to rein in our lands. They were emotionless killers. They were power hungry and had no time for foals, but plenty for pleasure. I was an accident, they would say. Just an accident, but, a slightly useful accident they later decided. They could trade me when I was old enough to mate to another herd, maybe get a decent warrior. So they kept me, always right by one of their sides. I had no freedom, they had to make sure I coulnd't get away. They hardly ever talked to me, except when they got angry. Then they would curse and yell and scream at me. If they were really mad, they would hurt me.
I never had a chance to feel anything but hurt and anger. I never had a chance to be my own horse, to be myself. That's why I ran, that's why I came her. I want to find myself. I want..."
She began to whisper.
"I want, to find love."

I thought I had found one... I began to think of her, but I now find she found someone else. Now she hates me, and him. I wish that I had never been there. Then she would be so happy, she'd have a mate better than I can be... I... I should just not be here... i am just making a mess...
His heart jumped hard. He was hold back tears, he'd never cried before... it was so strange...

For some reason listening to and seeing this stallions pain hurt Kala more than anything her parents had ever made her endure. She felt her heart ache as she watched his eyes water. She had to help him, make him feel better. But this was all so new, how could she do that, when she couldn't even help herself?
" Look, i don't know this mare, but I don't like her. She's hurting you, so bad. Why though? You seem so nice..."
She said.

He looked down, a single tear fell down.
I...
He nickered at his stupidity.
I don't know, maybe... maybe she didn't love me... I... I can't... I don't know....
A tear rolled down his red face, and wettened the soil under him.

Kala's heart felt so close to bursting. She felt so bad, so much pain, and it wasn't even her own. Why did she feel so bad?
" I dont know either, but, but I'm...I'm gunna do something!"
She snorted angrily. She couldn't stand to see Bear like this for any longer.

As he was about to respond, an echo rang through. He listened. A Scream? A... Roar! A mountian lion! From the Deepness, a boy probably. He got up.
That doesn't sound good... I am going to check it out.
he turned to run, but then turned back.
Would you like to come?
he asked.
But it may be dangerous...

" I'll come,"

" Let's go."
