In a valley circled by mountains,a little paint mare grazes in tall grass.Her short body barely visible above the vegetation.She had bay coloring covered in large white spots and four socks on her legs.
And most noticeable,a pulling harness across her chest and back.
She was small.Only 12 hands tall and short legs.She seemed nervous.Constantly raising her head up and looking around.She also seemed lonely.Her eyes were full of sorrow and pain.
She walked a few steps to a new patch of grass and began eating.Taking big bites out of the sweet clovers she found.

(Using Stricon: bramblemask973.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d4o1oyf ) The gray, brown and black pinto stallion watched silently from a cliff above. He narrowed his eyes at the harness and jumped down the rocks, silent as a snake. There were his mountains, his territory. And intruders usually didn't make it far. He lived by himself for a while, searching for mares and fighting off stallions. Now there was one. But she'd felt the humans' touch. The stallion shook his head and landed on the grass, coming up behind her like a ghost. He glanced at the rocks under his mountains. There used to be a cave there, but it was gone now. The humans went in, it collapsed and they never came out. The only way out of this valley was up the rocks. His bright ocean blue eyes studied her and he reached forward with his muzzle to sniff her tail. The scent he was searching for... was it there? He gave a snort. Time to notify her that he was there. "You know... It's not safe out here on your own. Cougars patrol these cliffs. Just as I do." |

The small mare jumped and ran a few feet from whatever had spooked her.As she turned around,she saw a stallion standing tall looking down at her.She looked up at him with her ears tilted to the side in a submissive and fearful posture.She was shaking and seemed to be upset.With a shy glance up she spoke.
"W-who are you?I-I'm not in t-trouble am I?"she asked in a quiet little voice.

He raised an eyebrow and snorted, amused. What a nervous little one. Just what he wanted.
"My, my, you're a bit jumpy, aren't you? My name is Stricon. These are my mountains. This is my valley, even if the humans were here. Anything that enters is mine. Anything that enters doesn't usually leave unless I want them to." He walked forward confidentaly and stalked around her shaking form, enjoying her fear.

The small mare shook as he spoke.He seemed so full of confidence and spitfire that it made her cringe slightly.She looked down nervously as she spoke to him.
"M-my names Sweetie.I w-was one of the ponies working in the m-mines when it collapsed."she said shakily as he walked around her.she was scared,and wondered if he was going to hurt her.
"I-I promise I'll live as s-soon as I can.I'm just w-waiting for the other h-humans to find m-m-me.I'm not here to cause problems."she said softly as she backed up from him slightly.

"Didn't you catch my last sentence?" he said, now with a slight growl. He stepped closer to her. "Nothing leaves unless I want it to. You're not going anywhere today except up these cliffs, back to my place, girlie."
Stricon lashed his tail and took another step closer threateningly.

Sweetie took a few more steps backs before tripping over a rock and falling on her side.She laid there and looked up at the stallion with big,light brown eyes,pleadingly.
"P-please don't hurt me.I s-sorry,I'll go with you,j-just don't hurt me.Please don't h-hurt me."she said with tears in her eyes and shaking violently.She didn't know why the stallion was so intent on her going with him,but she didn't want him to kill her.

"I won't kill you. But I can't make any promises on no blood." He stood over her, putting a hoof on the other side of her body, holding her between his legs. His blue eyes seemed to hold something darker behind them.
Stricon reached down with his head. He nipped her neck slightly, then glanced at the harness. A small sneer slipped onto his face.

(No M rated stuff please.Not yet anyway:)
Sweetie froze.She didn't know what he was doing,but the way he stood over her made her nervous.With a whimper,she chose to simply lay there until he finished looking her over.She saw the way he looked at her harness and looked up at him pleadingly.
"T-this was given to me by my m-master.Please don't b-break it."she begged.

(No, that's not it)
"I won't break it yet. I can use that." suddenly he lunged, grabbed one of the straps in his teeth. He backed up, tugging like a dog would tug on a stick.

Being as small as she was,when Stricon pulled the harness,he dragged Sweetie along with it.Her small body dragged on the ground as he tugged on the fabric,causing her to bump over the rock she had tripped over.She winced and decided she didn't want that to happen again,and so she stood up and let him lead her.Just like the humans used too.
She kept her head down as he tugged.Not wanting to upset him.

Stricon noticed a rope trailing fro the front of the harness. The part around her chest. He leaned forward and grabbed it in his teeth. He walked towards the cliffs, mare trailing behind.

Sweetie walked with her head down as they approached the cliffs.Stricon seemed to have a good grip on the rope,and even if she could pull away,she wouldn't.She wasn't strong enough to make out there on her own.Stricon had mentioned mountain lions patrolling these areas,and with as small as she was,Sweetie would be no mach for one.She couldn't run very fast either,so her best bet was to stay with the larger stallion until some humans showed up.

Stricon released the rope as they got up the cliff. He trotted forwards into a small opening in the wall, black tail vanishing with a flick.

Sweetie stood for a moment and watched the stallion go through the gap in the rocks.She looked back at the valley and sighed.She knew it wasn't safe,but that was where she had spent the past few nights since the cave in,and the thought of leaving made her anxious.She didn't know if the place Stricon was taking her was within human reach.She also wasn't sure if the stallion was anymore safe to be around then the mountain lions.She simply stood in front of the opening in thought,not following the stallion.
