Stricon poked his head out of the opening and gave a small glare.He simply pulled back his lips and showed his teeth and vanished again. "Hurry up."

The small mare quickly trotted up being Stricon through the gap.The narrow space didn't seem to bother her,cause she had worked in the coal mines all her life.She noted dully that mineral tests had been done on the walls to see if coal was nearby.She bumped int the stallions backside a few times as she walked to close behind him.

Stricon moved into a trot down the winding passage. His tail gently flicked her chest. Eventually fresher air could be smelled and they emerged into a large cavern. Glowing blue stones lit up the ceiling, giving the cave a beautiful and mysterious feel. A large pool of water grew in the center. Stricon trotted over to it. He didn't take a drink, but stood in front of it, looking up.

Sweetie looked around at the unusual cave in wonder.It was very pretty in there,and it seemed to have a soothing feel to it.The are was cool and comforting to her,and the fresh spring water was all but calling out to her.The valley,while plentiful in grass,was lacking in water.The closest source of water she had seen was the rivers on the other side of the gorge,and she was to weak from the cave in to get to them.But as thirsty as she was,she didn't approach the water,because it belonged to Stricon.

Stricon bent his head and drank his fill. The water was nice and cool. It flooded down his throat, quenching his thirst. He looked up and wiped the water awa on his knee. "Go ahead." he told Sweetie without turning.

Sweetie made a happy squeal as she bounced and shoved her muzzle into the water.She hadn't had a drink in days,and was happy to feel the water soothing her insides.She drank in big,long gulps until her belly began to hurt,and raised her head to the stallion.
"U-um,thank you."she said softly.

Stricon shrugged. Sometimes he felt a sliver of pity. Maybe itwas one of those times. He turned and walked over to the other side of the pool, laying down.
"Sleep where you like."

Sweetie stepped around the cave for a bit,sniffing and lightly touching the strange crystals in the walls.This place was amazing.Had the humans known of it,they surely would have mined everything in the mountain other than just coal.She watched the stallion lay down,before walking over to him and snuggling up next to him on the floor.She tucked her nose under his neck getting ready to sleep.

Stricon raised his head in surprise as she lay down next to him. His attitude had changed. He only acted that way to show other stallions and cougars that he wasn't afraid to fight them. But now, alone in this place, he could be who he wanted. He tipped his head curiously and then lay down his head again. His mind whirled. His expression was unreadable, perhaps because he didn't know what to feel.

Sweetie slept soundly as she dreamed of her master.She wiggled slightly in her sleep,remembering how he would stroke her mane and pet her on the nose comfortingly.She had cried for days when he didn't come out of the cave.She had waited assuming he would crawl out of the ruble,but he never did.After a few peaceful hours of sleep,she began to struggle against nothing.Her legs kicking out as she remembered the cave in.

Stricon didn't sleep. He didn't know what to think, what to do. He flinched as one of her hooves caught his belly. He looked up and suddenly realized it was dawn. A hole in the roof showed so. He gently got up, not wanting to disturb her more. He ran scenarios through his head, decided on one, turned and left.

Sweetie thrashed a little more before waking with a jolt.She was sweating profusely,and was breathing hard.The nightmares weren't new,but they always left her shaking.She calmed herself by getting up and drinking some water.She then looked around and noticed Stricon was gone.She wondered if he had gone outside for some fresh air,but then thought that maybe he had abandoned her.Maybe he decided he didn't like her or something.She looked down sadly,and sniffed.She guessed he had left her too.Everyone seemed to be doing that lately.With her head low,she walked out of the cave and looked at the rocky sides of the cliff.She guessed she would have to work her way out.If there were meat eating animals here,she couldn't stay without the protection of a larger horse.With sadness and fear,she began walking towards the rock path out.

Stricon appeared around the corner, mouth filled with grass and an apple. His ears pricked as he noticed Sweetie heading down the path. Where was she going? He dropped the food and jumped up onto a rock. "Hey! Where're you goin'?"

The small pony jumped in surprise at the sound of the stallions voice.She whirled around and looked at him with big brown eyes,still in shock.
"I w-was leaving....."she said softly

His big blue eyes looked at her curiously. A twinge of hurt appeared in them. He didn't come forward and snatch her harness again. Stricon just stood on the rock, watching her. His ears half flattened.
"How come?"
