  The bright sun shone down on the old chesnut mares back, his stiff cold legs plowed though the thick grasslannd snow on the surch of better grass. 'why ever did I have a foal for this season' she thought to herself walking by a narrow half frozen creek. hedding towards a old barn and fencing.
Cascade was jumping and playing in the snow, keeping herself warm in the unplesent weather. She'd ran and stop at the mothers side throwing cold snow between her legs. "Come on mum stop and play" the happy foal whined to her unpleased mother.
Soral looked towards the foal disaprovingly then looked towards the barns again. She lifted her still legs over some fallen railings then started grazing in the sheltered side of the barn where less snow had layed.
Cacade behaved for a little while at her mothers side, she had a long drink and lent to her mother bumpy stomach for warmth. She was lucky in the shelter of the old barn there was no wind and little snow, perfect for a small foal in this weather.
She left her mother grazing by the sheltered side of the barn and entered the dusty cold wall-less barn in surch of somewere to sleep. SHe soon roled up into a little foal ball in the hole of a dustly rabbit warren. her white and brown coat camouflaging her well.
Soral enjoyed the peace when her energenic foal slept, The grass was a little better here than in the planes and it was easyer to get to though the snow. She just hoped no-one else new of this golden grazing oportunity here. |

A one-year old, chocolate roan filly trotted through the light snow, he hooves clip-clopping as she went down the old driveway to the Lone Ranch. She was hoping that no other horses were in here. She really needed no horses here.
Aponi peeked into the lone ranch stable, her eyes glowing at this golden oppritunity. "Hello?" she neighed, her eyes adjusting to the musty, dust filled air and lighting. She heard small whinnys and snorts. A foal? And she sniffed finally. The scent was behind her, in the field. She spotted a skinny chestnut mare and a tobiano mare.
She cantered out to the field to pay a visit to the hopefully peaceful mare and foal. "Hello." she said, approaching the mother curiously. "I'm Aponi." |

Soral watched from the corner of her eye as a young mare came towards her, "Go away!" she bellowed heavily, Her breath seemed short and heavy, as the sickness took ahold of her again. Her head stayed low to the ground but she'd stopped grazing. she still kept one eye on the strange mare.
Cascade woke from the dusty barn when she heard her mothers voice. was she walked back out onto the snow she saw a stranger, "Another horse?!" she said confused and amaized, she'd never seen another horse before, She didn't know how to react. She totted up to the stranger from behind and walked round to her face. "Hello" she little foal said confidently to the stranger.
Soral watched her over confident foal greet the stranger, she hadn't the power to continue talking for the moment. The sickness was getting worse, Her head stayed to the snowy ground. Now the snow was getting tainted crimson, Blood dripped out of her nose, a tainted puddle under her head. 'It will pass' she was thinking to herself, 'it will pass, just like last time'

Aponi gasped as the mare started to bleed from her nose. "Oh my god!" she whinnied, panicking. "Your bleeding!" she could tell now that this mare was sick.
She saw a pool of blood form in the icy snow and she knew, this horse was in very bad shape. "You can't make me leave. Your ill." she said confidently, not moving a bit. |

Soral eyed the young filly standing not afue strides from her. When she was healthyer she'd of ran off this mare to protect herself and the foal. But she couldn't even lift her head from the ground. She was pathetic and even worse she even had a foal in this condition. I would be her last for sure. "Fine" She said angrly snorting and causing blood spots flying onto the snow about a foot away from her head.
"Mum!"Cascade squealed and ran off to her mothers side, "You'll be fine mother, honest it will be just like last time" The little filly continued to squeal. But this was far more blood that last time, even the young foal could tell that. Her heart beat raced as she rubbed herself on her mothers neck comforingly.
Soral felt her foal on her neck but couldn't raise her neck to comfort her worryed foal. "I'll be fine. Just like last time" she echoed her words were painful and short. she spluteder a little causing blood to flow from her throut too.
Her legs felt like they'd fall off when she was in this state, her head was far too heavy to lift. she was traped wondering of her own death just fighting for her foal. but was that worth fighting for? it would be so much easyer if she just died. erternal peace right? thats all she could think about.

Aponi started to worry as blood sputtered out of the mare's nostril'a. "Um, your not fine." she said, nodding her head. "Let's get you into the barn, now." She wouldn't take no for an answer. This foal could loose her mother wwithin a few minutes, she had to help! |

"I'm Fine!" Soral snorted to Aponi. her ears layed back and her knees quivered with weekness. The blood coming from her nose was stopping, but she was feeling quite week. She sighed and fell to her knees then layed down in the snow. It was easy to see her hip bones pretrud though the short coat, her neck was about as think as her foals and you could count her every rib.
"Mum? mum?!" Cascade squeeled fearfuly as she watched her mother fall.
"I'm fine Cascade" Soral said raising her head for the first time in ages, her nose had stopped bleeding, "I just needed a lay down" she said smiling at her foal. then looking over the foal towards the stranger, but said nothing.

"Please...ma'am..your...in deadly condition." she whinnied, leaning closer to the mare. "You can't let this filly see you die now, can we." she snorted, melting snow in her mouth and swallowing.

Soral looked angrily towards the stranger, She nuzzled her foal the blood had stopped from her nose but her head was still heavy. She didn't feel well at all, her legs felt like jelly and feeling wasn't coming back to them, 'am I going to be able to get up?' She thought to herself weekly. "I'm Fine" she said towards the stranger then looked towards Cascade, "Child I’m going to be gone a while will you be alright?" She asked Cascade quietly.
Cascade looked confused and shocked at the question, "Mum, but mum your fine, you said!" she wined sadly nuzzling back. She walked closer to her mothers head and trod in the shallow pool of snow blood which made her stumble backwards to avoid.
Soral looked towards her frightened foal, then back up towards the stranger, "Aponi" She said pitifully, "Could you take Cascade for a long walk?" she continued. 'How could I let it come to this, asking strangers for help' She thought to herself closing her eyes and resting her head on the snow.

Aponi smiled nicely, swishing her tail slowly. "C'mon Cascade." she said, already walking towards the woods. Hopefully the filly would follow. If not...they were in for ome major trouble. Her mother might be dead when they came back. She pushed that thought out of her head, blinking back a few tears before turning to see Cascade. |

Sorel nodded greatful to the Stranger, "Go in then, you'll miss the adventure" She said happily to the foal.
Cascade was unsure but believed her mothers fake happiness. She winnyed happily with a smile on her small face, "I'll be back soon" she little foal called back to her mother as she ran after and past the youngster into the trees.
Sorel felt relived as her foal ran away, a sudden gush of warmth followed by blood out of her nose made her fall to her side. She fell faint and dizzy, closing her eyes and kicking out every so often at the numb pain. Soon her body layed still and the blood stopped for the last time.
ooc:/ I thought Tank would be the first dead horse, but it looks like it her ^^
do you want to carry on this RP in a different place, and a little in the future I changed Cascades age & Pic. Cascade knows Sorel's dead, Should we go to Love Creek?

Aponi walked with the filly at her side as they trotted through the dense bush. Aponi knew, she couldn't go back. Sorrel was...Aponi blinked back tears and looked at the young foal beside her. She had no clue. Aponi decided to find a place to eat. she pushed away snow with her maw and they found a green patch of grass. "Go ahead." Aponi grinned, nudging the foal lightly. |

Cascade looked back to where they came from then at Aponi then to the grass she'd cleared on snow. "Thankyou" She said grazing a little then looking around distracted from eating, "Do you think we sould go back get?" she asked, "which way was back" the foal said worryingly looking round herself, the trees all looking the same. her little heart beating loudly.

Aponi paused, her heart thudding loudly. "S-Sure." she sighed. The foal would have to know sooner or later. She began to walk towards Sorel's corps, suddenly regretting what she had done. 'Push-over.' she thought, before seeing the dead mare in the snow.

Cascade eyes bulged at the sight of her mother, the little foal could see her mothers thin frame wasn't breathing. "mum?" the little foal knickered quietly walking tentitivly closer. "you said your fine?" she said quietly tears now running over her cheeks as she shivered with fear cold and sorrow. She closed her little eye and ran into Aponi's shoulder "She's dead Aponi, She's Dead!" She cryed, her head pushing into aponi's shoulder.
ooc:// So do you want to go over to the love creek?
