Stricon pulled back again and then stopped. He looked over at her. He sighed and bowed his head. "I'm wild, Sweetie. I've never known the touch of humans. I've never been around them unlike you. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Its instinct for me to fight back."

Sweetie looked down at his words.She knew he couldn't help it,but to behave like that was dangerous.Animals that hurt humans were often killed if they didn't learn to behave themselves.She looked uo at him again with pleading eyes.
"Stricon,I know your scared and I-I know you just want to leave,b-but if you hurt them they might kill you.I saw them kill a horse who threw a m-mans daughter.Please,don't give them a reason to kill you"

Stricon's eyes grew slowly wider as she said that they'd killed a horse. He sighed, thought for a moment. He took a deep breath and nodded. "Fine." he sighed. "For you."

Sweetie smiled at him.She knew he would probably still act up a little,but at least he wouldn't be killed.The men came back over to her and tied a lead rope to her halter before walking her over to a mine cart.They then hitched her to the heavy metal cart and lightly tapped her hindquarters.In response,she walked forward and pulled the cart,walking over to the collapsed mine.

Stricon watched silently. What were they doing? She seemed so calm and nice. He stared in confusion as they went over to the cave and started piling rocks, getting them out of the way.

Them moved as many rocks as they could before shoveling dirt and putting it in the cart.After a few minutes,she had a full load and backed up a few feet so she could turn around.She then pulled the heavy load to the edge of the cliff,and the men pulled a lever on the side and dumped the dirt over the edge.As she turned and walked back,she winked at Stricon.Her confidence seemingly much higher than usual.She prided herself on being able to pull the heavy carts,and she was actually very strong for her smaller size.Her legs were straight and sturdy as she reached the other miners and they loaded it again.

Stricon snorted and shook his head. What was the point of all this? Sweetie seemed to enjoy it though. Stricon lowered his head, feeling out of place. He didn't want to be down here. He wanted to be back in his valley.

After a few more loads,Sweetie was taken off the cart and placed next to the unhappy stallion.She gently nuzzled him as she got comfy against his side.She sighed and looked up at him with big sparkly eyes before speaking.
"U-um,their trying to dig the others out.B-but I think their going to ship us off to town tomorrow."she said as she pressed more against him.

"Town? What in the world is a town?" Stricon asked. He had no idea of the humans places or anything. He pressed against her anyhow, grateful for the light comfort.

Sweetie laid her head against him more as she heard the men talking.They seemed to think there was little chance of anyone surviving the collapse.She listened to Stricons heart beat as she closed her eyes,enjoying the peace.
"I-its like a where herds of humans live.They have these big structures that they live in,and they gather there to get food and w-water."she clarified.

Stricon nodded. "Huh." He looked back as much as he could. slowly the rocks were getting cut away. a strange smell hit his nose, disgusting and rancid. Something was rotting in there. Some animal.

Sweetie shoved her nose more into the stallions shoulder.The small of death was overpowering.She hated the thought that the smell was also coming from the remains of her dead master.She tried to fight back the tears that appeared in her eyes,as she heard the men shouting and pulling bodies out of the ruble.Some of them she could almost recognize,others were so smashed they barely looked human.Tears overflowed from her eyes inspite of how she tried to hold them back.

Stricon looked at the mare as she cried. He looked away from the scene of dead. It was horrible enough for him, but for Sweetie... It must be so much worse. Her dead human was in there. He leaned over and wrapped his head over hers, pulling her close. "Just don't look."

The shaking mare nodded as she held herself against Stricon.She didn't want to see the men puling out the bodies of the humans she had worked her whole life with.The thought of seeing her master a bloody mess made her sob even more.The men pulled more and more out as the mine became more open to those outside.At one point only pulling out the lover part of a man who had been crushed in half by a sharp heavy rock.She didn't see it,but she heard the gasps and vomiting of men as they pulled out more.

Stricon flatteneed his ears against it. He just wanted this whole thing to be over. Over, the humans gone, him and Sweetie back in the cave. Over.
