At the sight of the horses watching us I wanted to run but I couldn't. I was frozen with fear. Sundancer didn't seem afraid she just looked really annoyed honestly. How she could be this confident I have no idea. The bay seemed familiar to me somehow but I just couldn't remember why. I expected the black horse to disappear like he always does when I look away, but he didn't. Instead him and his friend came trotting over. The bay looked at Sunny and said in a sort of teasing voice "I told you you'd have to give in eventually" Sunny just pinned her ears back threateningly. They must have a history. "What makes you think that I will give in?" Sunny practically growled at him. "Well Darkstar here is like amazingly strong-" he began only to have the black horse, Darkstar I guess, interrupt him. "Thunder" he said sounding annoyed "shut up". The bay didn't say anything else. Darkstar looked at us both and said "You two need to follow us now. If you don't there will be consequences". I trembled fearfully and I could tell by the way the two looked at me it was noticeable. Sunny on the other hand wasn't scared at all. "Like what?" she demanded. "Well, I could walk in there right now and kill that little filly your so attached to" Darkstar said glaring at her. Sunny seemed bothered by that threat. Thunder went around behind us and pretty much shoved us the way he wanted us to go. I was to terrified to do anything but follow Darkstar, who took the lead. Sunny had her ears pinned back and an annoyed look on her face but she followed clearly not wanting that filly to be killed. I didn't even know the foal's name. I would've asked if I wasn't afraid to even say anything. We marched on through the snow for at least an hour and most of it was climbing a mountain. Just as I thought I was going to collapse from exhaustion, we arrived at a large yet well hidden cave way up in the mountains. The cave was huge and had four other little rooms branching off. From what I could see all four were dead ends, but probably were used like bedrooms or something. Our kidnappers herded us into one of the rooms, and together the two horses somehow managed to push a rock in front of the door way to it. There wasn't anything to eat or drink in here at all and it was now pitch black. We sat in silence for a minute before I decided to speak "What's that filly's name? The one that's always with you?" I asked her. She was silent and just as I thought she wouldn't respond she sighed and said "Lizzie". I could only see an outline of her and watched as she laid down to sleep. I had to admit, I was terrified but I was completely exhausted. I laid down as well and drifted off to sleep.
