Ash nodded. "Yeah...pets can be emotionally helpful. Do you think you could ever get another pet?"

" Not for awhile.. not for a very long while.. "

Ash nodded understandingly. He mounted Bandit and said, "Well, I wish you the best."

" Same to you, Ash. I am sorry for what I said to you when we first met " She said before she left back to her home, now she was trembling.. she couldn't hold herself together anymore and needed to be alone.

Ash just nodded and nudged Bandit into a walk. He wasn't sure what he would've done if he'd lost Bandit. After all, he had already lost Ariella...she had been his only support. People asked him why he had fallen for her, and one of the reasons he had told them was that she had been nice to him. He hadn't been used to that. And then Sawyer came along and freaking killed her. Rage washed over him

Possibly triggering


Raven crept into her room, locking her door behind her. She was letting the feelings she felt control her.. and because of this she picked up her knife and rolled up her sleeve till it exposed her shoulder.. and proceeded to leave deep cuts all over the areas, blood running down her arm like a river thru a mountain.


( I wonder if Ash even saw all the cuts she had when he "accidently" walked in on her xd )

(He did, but he figured he probably shouldn't say anything about it. He assumed they were from Cliff)

Ash clenched his jaw as he rode to his house, in the middle of nowhere, not near either of the territories. His hand was gripping the hilt of his sword. He needed to let off some steam. He jumped off Bandit while he was still cantering and pulled out his sword, taking all his rage out on a fence post.

( When he finds out why, I bet he will take out his anger on Cliff next xd )

Raven soon put away the knife, and didn't bother cleaning the wounds she made on herself. Instead she went to sleep, leaving her door nice and locked.. She felt a lot safer like that at least. Soon, she had fallen asleep calmly, hugging her pillow tight to her.

(Definitely...)

When Ash was done, the post was hardly more than a measly stick. He sheathed his sword and went to his room, trying to get some sleep. He couldn't, so he picked up a candle and went over to the Davidson's barn. He only had one horse, and Bandit was sleeping. When he realized that if he got caught here it probably wouldn't be good. He heard a noise he thought was footsteps and he left, accidentally dropping his candle. He swore. Aaaand it was footsteps. But not from a Taylor or Davidson...it was Cliff, letting the Davidson's cows out

Sawyer was sleeping

Blaze was out with riding Apollo around, and he saw the cows being let out. He assumed it was their father and got ready to herd them to their pastures.
