Description
In a way, it was comforting to have seen a year go by. Another year... to forget about the pain, to separate her from the experience. Yet, no matter what she did to distract herself, the thought always crept in. She had pushed the stallion onto the back burner, her family taking over and then her work with her other two horses. She hadn't realized how long it had been since she had really touched him, until Adam said something about "that damn black horse in the pasture." His mane, once clean cut and roached, had grown back wild and crazy... as if he had just been mustered again.

As he looked at her, his eye caught the rising sun and glinted red, devilish in a way. In those orbs one could see the burning of a deep flame. He pricked his ears, regarding the human with half an interest. Then they went back, the hatred returning. The humans, who had taken him from his home, an entire world he knew. Keri sighed... what had she expected? That he would be easy? No.. she always knew, even with Cheveyo, that wild horses could fight back and come with a vengeance.

Keri blinked and felt herself take a step forward, to the fence line. It was the one thing the stallion hadn't realized, even after all these years. She wasn't scared... he had already done to her the worst thing he possibly could. They say to beware the broken ones, and how could she not be broken, after all the shit of her entire life. She had learnt how to survive with shards of glass under her skin. Glittering, sharp, and beautiful, and not afraid to bleed. Keri tilted her chin up.

The stallion perked his ears again. Was it... a hint of respect? One cannot exactly humanize an animal but... in the way of the wild, perhaps he sensed that she was... an equal.
