(Blue's POV)
I look around after hearing my mum nicker to me. I nicker back, and try to stand. I get up with the first try. "Hello little one, Your name is Blue Zelta." My mum says. I look over to the huge stallion next to my mum. He must be my dad. He is a Blue Roan, so is my mum. I can tell my parents are the lead horses, because of their strong, tall frames.
(Ivy's POV)
I stuck my head up and looked around. My mum was lying next to me unmoving, I nickered to her but she didn't move. I wiggled around and stood up, then I walked over to her and nudged her. She wasn't moving. I reached under and took as much milk as I could from her then walked off in the direction I saw some others.
When I got to the others I came across a mare looking at her foal. It was tore up with blood everywhere. I asked her if she wanted to be my mum because my mum was dead just like her filly. "Yes I will care for you sweet thing! My name's Ember Fox. Mind if I call you Ivy Fox? My filly's name was Falling Ivy." "Yes! My momma never got to name me." We galloped back to the herd so she could introduce me to the lead stallion. "Zelta, sir?" "What is it? Can't ya see I'm a little busy here?" "Well I found this here filly...after I found my my filly...um tore up by a cougar. I was wonderin if I could take this filly in?" The big blue stallion turned around and looked me over. Then he just nodded his head and turned back around. I wanted to see what he was watching so I walked around to have a look. He was watching a young filly running with her mother, they were all blue roans. "Ya wanna go play with Blue there?" The big stallion asked me and I nodded. "Then go on!" At that I galloped off toward the blue foal.
(Narrator's POV:)
As the two fillies start to play, Blue's parents watch them. "Wanna play tag?" Blue asks Ivy. "Sure!" Ivy responds quickly.
The two fillies run around their parents. "Blue not to fast!" Ivy said as she started to come to a water hole to drink from. Ivy and Blue became best and very close friends after they got done playing tag. It starts getting dark, and Blue and Ivy sleep next to each other. Everyone else falls asleep shortly after it got dark.

One year later:
(Blue's POV)
I run around looking for Ivy near the water, and I find her with a colt. As I get closer, I see that it's just Wind (wind runner). Ivy sees me, and starts to trot towards me. I rear up playfully, as does she. "Yall are playful today 😏." Wind says. "You don't look that bad your self, Wind" I said. "Yall, I'm going to go play in the water... You coming Blue?" Ivy said then asked. "Comin!" I said in responce.
We get to the water, and my dad comes trotting up. "We need to move now!" He says in a hurry to get us out of the water. "Blue, you and your mother go and lead the herd some place safe. The catchers are coming." He said in his leading voice. "Yes sir!" I say in response. Dad winnies to everyong to follow us, and I took the back end while mum lead the front. I start to hear the rumbling noise of hundreds of horse hooves. The herd started to slow down a bit, and there was a stallion right in front of me, and I nip his butt to try and get then to run a bit faster. While my dad and a few other stallions go and hold them off, the rest of us follow the river. We start to stop to rest for the night. We take night shifts to keep watch. I'm first, Wind is second and then Ivy is to take the third. My time goes by slowly, and it's time for Wind to take my spot and I take his. I nudge his neck, and he wakes up immediately. "Its my time?" "Yep." We say in a mind link that only we can hear. I was so tried that I fell asleep instantly.
(Narrator's POV)
As Wind stands guard, the horse catchers catch up. Wind starts to hear the rumbling, and he wakes everyone up by whinnying loudly. The only two that didn't wake up from a deep sleep is Blue and Ivy. Wind stays with them to help protect them. Wind finally wakes them up, and all three bolt at the last minute. "Why didn't you bit me to wake me up??" "You're lead foal, I can't bit you!" "You should have!" As Blue and Wind aruge, the catchers catch up to them. Wind gets yanked back with a rope around his neck, and Blue and Ivy lunge for the rope to break it. The three start to run as fast as they can, and eventually gain a couple of minutes between them and the catcher.
(Catcher POV)
"Them dang foals! They're too agile. But I'm gonna get em. I'm gonna get em all." He laughs then rides back to his group.
(Ivy's POV)
"Everyone ok?" I asked in a mind link. "Yea I'm fine!" Blue answers. "Same here." I here Wind respond. "Good let's take a scout and see if they're still following us. Their horses aren't nearly as conditioned as we are to go this long without a break." "Alright that sounds real good to me!" Wind responded happily. We go up to a hill and look back on the plains. "They're nowhere to be seen." "That's good. Now let's take a break over by the creek." We walked over to the creek but as we're walking I think I hear hoofsteps. I listen harder but then there's nothing. I shrug it off and lay down near the creek
