Love and Gales of song, please guide me through the storm [Hold]

La Fantasma

Morning (Sunday) Noon

Y/n slowly opens her eyes, sits up, and looks around with tired eyes. "Where am I? What happened?" "It's about time you woke up because we gotta get our ass moving. They might be still looking for us." "But [yawn] aren't we far from them." "Not far enough. Vengar won't stop, now he knows I'm alive." Y/n rub her eyes and sigh tiredly. "I'm so tired." "Here. [toss her few snacks] Eat then we'll leave, but make it fast." Striker grabs Bombproof's reins and drags him to a small lake nearby. Y/n groans and starts eating. "We're perfectly fine. [rolls her eyes] We're in a cave and there's no way they'll be able to find us."

She then heard a noise. Her curiosity was eating her up, so she decided to take a look and ran out of the cave. The noise seem to be close, looking around she couldn't find anything, but then a shadow cover her from the top. Y/n looks up and sees a horse (🔝) jumping over her from one boulder to another. "Whoa! It happened so fast." The horse didn't look back o heard her and kept on galloping. "Hey! Wait!!" Y/n yelled out, but the creature didn't stop, it was far. "Y/n! What are you doing?!" "Striker! I saw a beautiful horse and she jumped over me." "I don't fucking care! We need to go." "Striker, can we rest for a bit? I just woke up."

Striker glared at her then grab her arm harshly and drag her back to the cave. "Ow! Striker, you're hurting me." "You'll get us killed." "Striker!-" He pushed her into the cave, then grabbed all the supplies and mounted them on his horse. "Strik-" "Don't say a word. Just listen." He wraps his tail around her and mounts her on his horse, then Bombproof gallops. 'It's as if our talk didn't happen or is he trying to protect me? I don't know, but he is so confusing.' I sigh and stare at my surroundings and I saw something that took my breath away. It was the horse I saw earlier. I could tell she saw me because she turn her head toward me.

"It's the horse again. [look at him and poke him] Look!" "What?! I don't see anything." "What?" He was right, the horse was gone, but how was it possible? "I really saw it. She was right there." "How do you even know if it's a girl?" "She was beautiful and her mane was flowing." "This isn't the time to fucking around." I had enough. "What happen yesterday?" "About what?" "About love. You were just fine and you were clearly interested in it." I saw his eye widen and glance away then my stomach growled. "We'll stop here and rest." Bombproof yelled, we mount off and sat down under a tree. Striker took out a couple of snacks and we started to eat then after taking a breather we left.

Later (Five pm)

After traveling for a while, we stop at another cave and decided to stay in there. "We're going to lay low here?" "Ya, I'm done running and I'm tired." I nod and stretch my arm. Bombproof was outside looking for insects when it started to rain, he immediately ran into the cave for shelter, and his mane doesn't go out. I patted him and gave him a piece of my snack that he happily chew. "You're good with animals." "I always love animals, but I feel like we had that talk before, didn't we? Or are you just trying to make a conversion?" "Ya got me. I also wanted to see if you're still mad at me." "I might not show it, but I am. You completely forgot about our conversation about love or us actually finally getting along. It's like nothing happen." Striker didn't know what to say, but he had no words. Y/n sees this and rolls her eyes then turns her body away from him and focuses on Bombproof.

Y/n looks out and watches the rain pouring down. "I'm going to take a nap. We're not going anywhere." She lay down and close her eyes. Striker stares at her, but stayed quiet and then stares at the rain. Bombproof nudges his rider and snorts. "Hey, why did you do that?" Bombproof neigh softy. "I'm not going to do that and I already messed it up." Bombproof glared at him and nudge him close to Y/n, but Striker move away and sat away from them. "Stop and leave me be. I can't bring myself to. I'm taking a nap." He laid down, close his eyes and place his hat on his face. Bombproof gave a pout and sighed. Striker and Bombproof have been together since a young age they have a connection that Striker understood what his best friend was saying.
