Description

Jensen grazed apart from the rest of the herd. Despite his mother’s attempts to keep his company, he wanted know of it. He’d been feeling more restless than usual lately and wanted nothing to do with his mother or his aunts. He much preferred to keep to himself these days, only tolerating his twin’s presence. Speaking of...where had Avery gone off to? She’d been gone nearly all day. Jensen had decided to go find her when she came bursting through the trees toward him at full tilt. He gave a startled snort as she raced toward him, but was happy to see her. He reared up when she got close and the two play boxed for a moment before falling back to all fours.

”Where’ve you been all day?” he asked suspiciously.

”Oh you know, here and there.” Avery replied with a sly grin. ”I have news.”

Jensen’s brow quirked and he nodded his head, urging her to continue.

”I’m joining another herd. Tomorrow morning. I met the stallion just now with father. Isn’t that exciting?” she blurted out.

Jensen blinked slowly, not quite sure he’d heard correctly. Avery was leaving?

”But...I thought we were going to leave together.” he said slowly.

Avery tossed her head dismissively. ”Oh come on, brother. That was just foal talk. You’re going to go be a big, bad stallion with your own herd and won’t have any time for me.”

Jensen’s ears fell back, hurt. ”Oh...of course.” he muttered.

”Have you seen mother? I want to speak with her.” Avery asked, peering around. ”Wait, where is everyone? Are you out this way by yourself?”

Jensen’s ears pinned back against his skull and pulled himself close, curling his neck. ”What do you care if I am?” he yelled. ”Why even bother coming to say goodbye? Just go run off with your new stallion already.”

Avery was taken aback and looked clearly hurt, making Jensen feel a twinge of guilt. She took a step toward him but he backed away quickly. With a growl, he turned and galloped away, not caring in which direction. He was vaguely aware of Avery calling after him, but he ignored her.

He didn’t know how long he ran for, but it was getting dark by the time he stopped. His flanks were drenched in sweat and his breath came in ragged gasps. He glanced over his shoulder at the direction he came in and snorted. Turning away, he walked on, tail swishing behind him.
