Forward dated to the 20th. Midday. By the river...
[i] I am too weak Shiloh.... you must take over.... she heard Kavi whisper to her softly. Shiloh wanted nothing more then to stay where she was but Kavi was stronger then she. She awoke around midday, her body feeling weak and useless. Where was she? She was in someone's house but not someone she knew. Was she still in d'Arte? She got up and looked around. It didn't smell like d'Arte. Where was her horse. Where was she? Starting to panic Shiloh tried to stand on shaky legs and was able to make it to the door to the outside where she stumbled out. Her ears twitched and she went towards the sound of water. She stumbled along, tripping and hurting her ankle. She was able to make it to the waters edge, laying down in a patch of grass not to far away from it.
What was going on? Why was she so weak? She howled for someone, anyone to come and tell her where she was. She was scared and horseless and as she lay in the grass her argument with Saxif came back to her. She was unloveable and deformed. Who would love someone such as she? Saxif was the only one that loved her and even that was for a short time. Her hand went to her neck to find nothing there. She had given Saxif her heart, the necklace that showed her love for her. Why couldn't things just be simple?
Just to let you know I don't mind having to wait for you to reply. I know your busy and this thread should be the least of your concerns. Take care of Dylan and yourself before you reply to this. It would be what Dee wanted...
Shiloh looked up from her thoughts to see a man standng not to far away. She curled up and started to shift to her secui form to better hid her scars. "He...hel...hello. M...m...my n..nam...name is Shi....Shiloh Gr....Grant.... Whe...where a...am I? she said as she shifted. She was smaller then most, her secui form almost the same size as someone's lupus form. She kept her gaze low and her tail tucked, too scared to look up at the male who had extended a paw to her. She shuffled away from him some, curious of his intentions.
"W...wh....who are y...you? A...are you going...ta....to hu....hur...hurt me o...or le...leave me?" she stuttered. She started to hyperventilate as flashes of the whip came into her mind soon followed by her fight with Saxif who had left her alone and unloved. She was the reason Shiloh had ended up in this weird place in the first place. Shiloh took another step back, the ground her hind paws were on giving way some, making her slip a little into the water and tweak her ankle. She whined and hastily tried to get her lower half out of the water. "He...Help! she yipped trying to get out of the freezing cold water. Her front paws scrapped the ground in front of her and she tried to pull herself out with in avail. She was just too weak...
