10: Explaining

#wattys2017

Elly's POV
As the wolf neared my inner horse begged me to turn and run the path I have run many times before, but I wanted to know why the man never came. Only this wolf. It was the one I had seen on my last run with Dakota, but I feel connected to it. I am probably just over analyzing things but I swear i've seen these eyes before. The milky brown looked like melted chocolate sprinkled with golden flakes that gave me a warm feeling inside. They stood out against his beautiful fur. It was mainly a tanned brown speckled with dark brown and blonde hairs. The blonde hairs made his coat shine, almost as if it had the same gold flakes as his eyes. His eyes met mine and I feel I could stare into those eyes forever, but my eternity was cut in half when the wolf, lets call him Wolfie, ambled his way up to my dropped face. The logical human half of my brain told me to get the heck out of this situation, telling me all i'd have to do is run through the paddock and up to my safe house. On the other hand my horse half begged to be closer to the beast, making me feel like wanting more. The longer Wolfie stared at my face the more I wished he would never stop. As I became more enthralled the more my horse took over my brain and body. We tossed our head in a passive way, nickering softly, bringing Wolfie closer to me. When he stood almost inches from my face I kneeled, slowly but surely as not scare him away, until I was laying down in front of him. By now my horse has completely taken over and is giving me no say in my actions. Of course my logical half is practically screaming at my horse to let me have control, to let me run home to the safety of my parents, or at least to the barn with Dakota who could tell me what is going on. In the middle of my argument a voice cut into my head,

If you are going to argue with yourself at least stop yelling, it's giving me a headache.

Little to say the least I flipped out. It took me no time to get on all fours, frantically throwing my head back and forth, and take off in any direction only paying enough attention to make sure I don't head butt any trees. I have no idea where i'm going as long as I get out of there. I found the opening that lead to the barn and I ran. I just ran. Finally my logical side took over and all it took was for me to finally to go crazy. I heard a voice in my head. It wasn't my voice. It was gruff and manly but it flowed like melted honey on a summer day. The only other time a voice appears in my head is when other horses talk to me.

Hold on! I can explain! Just let me explain. Elly please, I need to tell you whats going on. At least answer me. Said the voice. I turned my head to see Wolfie on my hooves.

As the barn came into view I quickened my pace and decided to take the quickest route to Dakota's stall. I aimed for the fence separating me from the middle set of doors. I lept the fence and timed my decent so I could immediately hang a left through the sliding doors. As I trotted to 'Koda's stall I overheard panting down toward the main entrance. I shifted in seconds opening the door to her stall pulling her out of her nap.

Was that really necessary? Aren't grumpy horses the best?

"I'm sorry girl, I didn't mean to wake you up. I didn't really mean to end up here at all. While you are awake can you answer a question for me?"

Sure. Why not.

"So these past few days have been quite confusing." I said walking toward the bale of hay in the corner, mindlessly sitting down, "I don't know how to explain anything because I'm so confused. I know, I know. 'If you can't explain your situation how am I supposed to know what to tell you?'and to that I say, good luck."

"I know you are in deep conversation with your horse but maybe I can explain." I snapped my head toward the door to see Jake rubbing his hands together anxiously. He paused to make sure I was still listening but kept on talking. "You've go alot to know. It really should come from your parents but now. . . Just come on a walk with me and I'll answer your questions. Ok?"

I looked at Dakota for reassurance but she gave me one better. She nuged me toward the stall door and I took that as a 'go listen to him.'
