When the colt increased his speed, Rain smiled to herself and increased hers as well, slightly behind him but at the same pace of gallop. The wind blew through her mane, the light of the silvery moon lighting her path to who knows where. Slowly, she could feel her worries slide off her, being whipped away by the wind. It was soon she found herself tossing her head and leaping into a playful buck across the plains, the tall grass tickling her belly.

[Swifthoof]

Feeling Rain near him, a small smirk crossed his maw as he kept running despite the ache in his muscles from his previous run. Ignoring it, he tossed his head and bucked in a playful manner, watching as the lead mare did the same. Chuckling, he picked up his stride, and kept going.

[[R].ebel]

"Me and Spirit used to do this all the time."

The pinto said in thought while still running. It had been a while but at least she was running with a fellow herd member and keeping her mind busy. Rain galloped for a tree standing alone in the plains and whipped around it, hooves sliding in the dirt, kicking it up around the tree, then galloping back from whence they had come. She glance back seeing if Swifthoof could follow up such a move, though she didn't doubt he could.

[Swifthoof]

Seeing Rain whip around a tree, the colt did the same, sending up dust in his wake. Snorting, he ran, his brown mane and tail whipping out behind him. Tossing his head, he kept running, his legs propelling him forward with each stride.

[[R].ebel]

Dark form moved across the plains, walking quietly; stalking his prey. The Demon had been awoken and now the taste of blood yearned in his mouth.

Rain laughed as the colt managed to swerve around the tree but she began to feel a bit tired and started to slow her gallop to a trot, tossing her mane as the wind blew through it. Suddenly, she stopped short, the wind bringing a scent to her and then whisping it away before she could diagnose what the scent was. She could feel something wasn't right though.

"Swifthoof... get out of here."



OOC: Dun-dun-dun! Demon is on the loss! *evil laugh* Mwuhahaha!

[Swifthoof]

(Yay! Me love drama! I'm letting evil Swifty take over now, Mwuwahahaha)

Swifthoof... get out of here

Hearing her words, the colt skidded to a stop and looked around, his brown eyes flicking this way and that to find trouble. The wind blew and with it, it carried a strange smell, another being. Snorting, he backed up slightly, his head turning back and forth. He could sense danger ahead.

Suddenly, another image appeared in his mind and he could taste the salty tang of blood in his mouth. His eyes felt hot and he could feel something burning within him, wanting to get out. Something wanted to take over.

[[R].ebel]

Rain's ears pinned back as she felt the sense of danger. She also realized Swifthoof hadn't left yet.

"Swifthoof... Leave, now!"

The black seemed to leap out of no where, appearing before Rain in a heartbeat, red eyes burning in the night, lusting for blood. The Devil's Band leader was well beyond his territory but his taste for blood was stronger than he could control.

[Swifthoof]

Auds pricked at the mare's words, but to the colt, they seemed far off; distant. Then the stallion appeared, the bloodlust evident in his eyes. Swifthoof could feel something inside him nearly raging at the chance to get out. A small, shaky breath left him as he closed his eyes and opened them again, feeling whatever that was inside him take over.

He kept his eyes on the newcomer before him as he stepped forward, pinning his ears back and baring his teeth in warning. You don't belong here. Leave he hissed, his once normal tone changing into something deeper and darker.

Demon snorted at the colts words, blood thirsty eyes staring through the darkness with the most of evil glares. He pawed the ground with a heavy hoof, the taste of the colts blood already in his. He cared not for the mare and looked beyond her without a glance.

[One more dam* day when I know what I want]
[And my want will be considered tonight, considered tonight]
[Just another day when all that I want]
[Will mark me as a sinner tonight, I'm a sinner tonight, yeah]

Rain stood strong between Demon and Swifthoof, ears pinned back against her head. Normally, she'd let Spirit do the fighting but this was her turf and she wasn't about to let Demon threaten it or her herd. The pinto reared and struck a hoof out at Demon, but she fell back to the earth, striking it instead of the black form.

[People can no longer cover their eyes]
[If this disturbs you then walk away]
[You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of]
[Ten Thousand fists in the air]

Demon snorted, having dodged the mares attack but showed no humor in the battle. His red eyes gleamed in the darkness, seeming to be more red than during the day. He brushed by her, pushing her out of his way to stand before the colt. In a deep, dark voice that seemed to cool the night air, he spoke threateningly to the colt.

"Is that a challenge?"

[Swifthoof]

A crimson gleam appeared in the colts eyes as he watched Rain launch an attack, but it was dodged. His eyes narrowed as he kept watching the stallion, hearing him speak. Is that a challenge?. A small smirk appeared on Swifthoof's muzzle. Perhaps. Care to find out? he asnwered, raising his head in defiance.

[[R].ebel]

Rain didn't know what to do... the stallion seemed determined to kill. She would need help but why hadn't Swift left yet. She gave him a direct order and he had not yet obeyed it. The pinto stood by waiting and watched the black form as he stared down on the colt with those gleaming red eyes.

[Power un-restrained dead on the mark]
[Is what we will deliver tonight, deliver tonight]
[Pleasure fused with pain this triumph of the soul]
[will make you shiver tonight, will make you shiver tonight, yeah]

Demon’s maw twitched with a threaten to actually laugh at the colt’s words but his eyes stayed harden, death burning in them. The black stallion pawed the ground and, with a toss of his coal black head, reared up, saying,

“Let’s.”

Demon crashed to the ground, and as soon as hooves hit the dirt was sent pounding for the colt, teeth flashing in the moonlight as they aimed for the colts neck.

“Swifthoof, run!”

[Swifthoof]

The colt watched as the stallion reared, his eyes narrowed. A small smirk crossed his face as he landed before charging at him. He chuckled before quickly leaping to the side, missing Demon's teeth by inches. Auds soon pricked to Rain's words, but he ignored them. Best you get out of here unless you don't want to die, Rain he snarled, keeping his eyes on the stallion as he charged forward, aiming his teeth for the stallions side.

[[R].ebel]

[People can no longer cover their eyes]
[If this disturbs you then walk away]
[You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of]
[Ten Thousand fists in the air]

Demon snorted having missed his target and slid his haunches under himself, coming to sliding stop. Ears pricked to the colts words as he spoke to the pinto and he turned quickly to face the colt just in time to see him launch an attack. The black stallion leaped backward swiftly, evading the colts attack, still no amusement from this battle showing.

[We are the ones that will open your mind]
[Leave the weak and the haunted behind]

Rain stood watching the colt as something seemed to take over him. She couldn’t leave, especially since she was the lead mare.

“Swifthoof! I said run, now go!”

Demon reared with a feirce neigh and thrust both his front hooves for the colt’s head.

[Swifthoof]

Swifthoof bared his teeth as the stallion managed to dodge his attack by leaping away. Auds pricked to Rain's words, but he ignored them, keeping his eyes on the stallion in front of him. Seeing him rear, the colt stood his ground before dodging at the last minute, feeling wind of the attack. As soon as he dodged, he launched one of his own, aiming his teeth for the stallion's neck.

[[R].ebel]

As soon as Demon's hooves touched the ground, having missed his target, he felt the colt's hot breath close to his neck and quickly side-stepped away, aiming his own teeth for the colt, but his latched onto another target... a pinto mare.

Rain gritted her teeth as she felt the stallion's teeth lodge onto her crest, blood already driping down her neck. Her fiery blue eyes clearly showed pain, but something more: a will to fight for her herd. With Spirit gone, she was in charge and she wasn't just gonna stand around. Hooves stood thier ground as the black stallion threatened to push her down but she wouldn't budge, having all four hooves planted squarly on the ground.
