As Stella was led over to a trailer, she realized that there were separate compartments for multiple horses. She was put into the one in the back, along with Dillo and Kyla in the other spots.

"Wow, this is a lot different, but I like it better," said Stella. Both of the others agreed. They were used to dark, small spaces. As the trailer started to slow down, and they heard the human getting out of the car, the back of the trailer opened up. Outside was standing the same woman. She made some cooing noises, rubbing her hands on Kyla. Then she took each horse out, and led them to a big pasture. Stella looked back to when she would not let a human touch her. She had changed so much, without even noticing it.

When I get home, I will become wild to every animal once again.

 "Kyla, I have a question." "About what?"

"Well, I am going to have a foal, but I am afraid that it will be born into captivity. That it will never see the wild, most of all." Kyla answered, "That's great news! But I would not worry. I trust that you will make it back home some day." Some day. For some reason, Stella did not like the sound of that. She knew that Kyla was trying to comfort her, but it did not work.

"I think all that matters now is that you focus on the good things. That's all."

"By the way, does Dillo know?"

"No, I'll tell him."

As Stella expected, Dillo was happy, but also worried about their foal's future.
