The Foal of Spirit and Rain

The Turn of Events

So, this is my fourth chapter. I know the action is kind of copied from the original movie, but it's meant to be like that. She is trying to be like her father, but later on realizes she should be herself. :P xD ENJOYYYYYY :D :3

{Avalanche's P.O.V}

I reared up slightly, low to the ground.

I stood up, regaining my energy. I neighed to the herd, telling them I would check what was going on.

My parents cantered towards me, pulling and pushing me back, but I trotted away from them.

"Mom, dad, you two want me to be a great leader, don't you?" I asked them.

"Yes, but-" they said, but I interrupted them both. "Well then, let me do this. Please! I'll prove myself to you" I told them, almost begging.

"But you already have proved yourself to us, many times! With the cougars and wolves and-". my mom started to say, but I cut her off again.

"But this is different. These aren't cats or dogs, these are humans, mom." I neighed to her. She finally gave up, and looked at my dad. He shook his head, still determined not to let me go.

I looked at him with pleading eyes, and he nickered softly. I softly smiled, and nuzzled them both. I then galloped off through the thickets.

{Normal P.O.V}

The excited but frightened mare made her way through the shrubbery, weaving through the bunched trees. She was looking straight forward, trying to identify her mixed feelings when she heard another gunshot.

It was sounded so close to her, that she reared up, neighing loudly. It was so sudden and close, taking her by surprise.

She got the hoof of herself (xD), and continued through the greenery. She soon came to the edge of the woods and saw a band of about 10 humans grouped together a few meters away from her.

They were on the backs of brown horses. She shook her head, confused. Why would the hoses just stand there calmly like that, letting the humans control the like-like machines?!

She shook her head once more, trying to ignore the fact that the horses were not wild. She watched the humans, her ears pricked towards them

Then, one of the men looked into the forest, and spotted her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Look at that, a horse!", he shouted, but lowered his voice to a hushed whisper as he finished his sentence.

The men all looked towards her, and her eyes widened.

As did theirs.

"Get it!", another yelled.

They whipped their horses with riding crops, and galloped towards the mare. She knew she had to lead them away from her herd, away from the forest.

She galloped out of the trees, and jumped over a horse, causing its rider to fall off; afraid of being hit by her hooves.

She landed skilfully, and continued to gallop away, drawing the group of cowboys away from the woods and her family.

She neighed, and picked up her speed, the tamed horses trailing behind and falling back. She eventually lost them, and stopped to a prance on the rocky path.

She turned back when she heard a whistle, her ears pricking side ways. She saw a growing fume of dust, gradually getting bigger and bigger.

She snorted, narrowing her eyes, and took off towards them.

She galloped into two horses, galloping between them, making their riders lose control of their horses' reins.

While they struggled to gather the reins and regain control, Avalanche continued to gallop off and away. She knew that she could probably get away from them in the canyon, so she headed in that direction.

She slowed down to a canter, waiting and allowing for them to catch up.

They headed her way, and she sped up again. She finally neared the canyon.

"This is my last shot at escaping... I've got to do this!", she thought.

She galloped inside, and the men laughed behind her. "Oh, we've got her now!", one said, laughing. "You bet!", another said, joining in with his laugh.

She neared the dead end, planning to climb like her father, but what she saw shocked her.

The wall was perfectly smooth.

Ok, so that was a pretty intense ending, wasn't it? xD I'll upload the fifth one soon enough guys! :D
