Alpha's Journey

1

Ariella's POV:

Grazing with my herd, my father walks up and begins grazing next to me. I am his pride and joy in the herd. As his only living daughter, he watches over me well.

My other siblings were killed by predators in the past, so I am his only remaining offspring. He begins nuzzling my shoulder and I return the affection, and do the same.

When suddenly the sound of engines are heard, spooking the herd, as we hear it. The sound telling us one thing, and that is humans. My Dad sounds the alarm, as I skitter my hooves next to him, waiting for his lead.

We soon see five motor bikes crest the hill behind us, and my Dad rounds us up and Chase's us, and we begin running. The motor bikes hot on our heels as we run.

Soon we are cut off, and pushed into an enclosure, and shit in. My Dad running the enclosure snapping his teeth and kicking out at it, trying to break us free. Desperate to free us from it's confines.

I stand in the middle of the herd, watching as does my mother and the other herd mate's. As my father tries to free us. My muscles bunch, at every kick he makes, hoping for an escape.

When suddenly a rope is thrown over his neck, Dad screaches in anger and starts fighting the rope, then another is around his neck, and another.

I watch as he's dragged into a pen, alone, then released, leaving us alone, in the pen. "He can't harm us in there," a male human says. As another looks at us.

"Get that black one, she'll fetch a good price," then he names a couple of other mate's in our herd as well. We are soon herded into smaller enclosures, to separate us from the others easier.

I am soon roped, aling with the other's that the male wanted. Pulled into our own enclosure, the rest of the herd is set free including my Dad.

We watch as the herd takes off, and disappear into the distance. The other mare's and I run around the enclosure trying to get free, and return to our herd.

After tiring ourselves out, we are loaded onto a boat, and it leaves shore, along with leaving our home behind.

"You'll fetch a perfect price," the male says looking at me, as he approaches my pen, on the boat. I pin my ears back at him, in fear of him. "It's ok girl, you'll go to a good home," he says, trying to soothe me.

I snort at him, spraying him with snot, and turn away, causing him to chuckle. "Firey attitude, that'll suit you well," he says, wiping off my snot, then walks away.

Days later, we are unloaded from the boat, into smaller pens, and separated, as humans and other creatures walk around the pens.

"This is the one, our Alpha will love her," a male and female says stopping at my pen. Their scent telling me they aren't entirely human. I pin my ears back, feeling scared, as their scent registers to me what they are.

"Don't worry,we won't hurt you," the female says. I back away and into a corner, furthest from them. The human who caught us walks up to the pen and the male and female looking at me.

"You like her," the human says. "We do, she'll make our boss very happy, when he returns from his travels," they both say, still looking at me. "How much," the male says.

They walk away, talking, and leaving me nervous, as I circle the enclosure, trying to find a way out. "Alright girl, you have a new home," the human says spooking me, causing me to jump.

He laughs, but ropes me, and then blinds me, leaving me no choice but to follow him, as I am led somewhere. Soon I am loaded into something, and as the door closes, the blind fold comes off.

"She'll be a handful, the black ones always are," he tells the male and female. "Our boss can handle her," they say. I strike out with my hooves, trying to bust the door, but it doesn't work.

Soon the trailer starts moving, and I have to fight to keep balance, as it does. After awhile I figure out how to keep balance in the trailer, as it travels down the road.
