Uninvited..

[[R].ebel]

Shetan's head swayed for a moment as he sat trying to get his eyes to focus. Finally, he was able to see straight again and he shook his head, laughing.

"I think so... a little dazed but nothing I can't handle."

The mustang pushed himself to standing, shaking his body off. He stopped and looked to Katori, his smile slowly fading. He felt he had to tell her.

"Ah, Katori... there's something I think you should know about me before... something happens to you."

I think so... a little dazed but nothing I can't handle

At his answer, she smiled and nodded before stepping back to let him have room to stand up. A soft snort escaped her nostrils as she looked toward the exit of the trees, an excited gleam in her orbs. All she could of was freedom and of no one holding her back. Soon, Shetan's words brought her back to reality and she turned her green gaze toward him, curious. What is it? she asked, her head slightly tilted.

[[R].ebel]

Shetan lowered his eyes, his head soon following their gaze as he lowered it towards the ground, almost ashamed. The red stallion turned away, seeming much like he was before when Katori and he had first met: beaten and sad.

"There's.... there's something in me... something I can't explain... and it might sound crazy but... I think its a spirit...the spirit of my father... I go through these... these 'spells' where... I feel this burning... fire, this intense power and hatred that makes me blind to everything..." He turned to Katori, his eyes already showing their burning flame that threatened to unleash itself. "I think... I'm possessed."

Shetan felt crazy himself talking about it or even saying that word. What if it wasn't that? He truly didn't know but he did know that something was there pushing him to do wrong when he didn't want to.. but the question that more importantly hung in his head was: what would Katori think of him now?

[Swifthoof]

Katori watched as Shetan lowered his head in an almost ashamed like manner. A soft nicker of comfort escaped her as she took a step toward him when his words stopped her. Auds pricked as she listened, her eyes widening slightly, but she didn't move away. As he turned back toward her, her green gaze matched his fiery one and without thinking, she closed the distance between them and nuzzled his neck in comfort. Don't worry, I'll look out for you she said.

Shetan’s eyes widened in surprise as she nuzzled him… and as soon as he felt her warm touch, the fire in his eyes was gone. He smiled at her words and nuzzled her back, glad she didn’t seem to think any less of him.

“Thank you, Katori… that means a lot to me…” He grinned and nipped her mane, then leaped away. “Now, let’s go chase that horizon.”

[Swifthoof]

Feeling him nuzzle her back, she smiled and stepped away, snorting softly. Hearing his words, a grin appeared on her maw and she nodded. No problem..and lets she answered as she reared and took off, sending up dust in her wake.

[[R].ebel]

Shetan reared and galloped after her, his heart feeling very much enlightened by not having to have this burden over him by himself. The red mustang galloped out of the forest, his mane and tail whipping behind him as he galloped on to freedom.
