Chapter 2 - Long Losted Friends

Hello reviewers! Although I didn't get all of my reviews I am posting this chapter special for WindSpirit. I also dedicate this chapter to WindSpirit because this person thought of the name that I am going to call the filly from now on. It was very hard to choose because this person provided four names that I could choose from, finally I narrowed it down to one that was VERY hard which I took all night to do. I chose the name… I will work it in the story I was just trying to get you all exited! I'm mean! Sorry I guess you will have to read to find out!



“Oh my Gosh!” Rain exclaimed

“Is that who I think it is?” Rain said

“Is it Moon Shadow?” Rain said unsure

“Yes Rain it is Shadow.”

“Oh my God I haven't seen you since Little Creek released me!” Rain said exited

Rain ran to Shadow and nuzzled her withers. Shadow was a young horse, almost the age of Rain but was born later then her. Shadow was an off Black horse, which was why they called her moon shadow. She had very long streaming Black mane and tail with a narrow strip on her face. She nuzzled Rain back and said in a low sad voice

“I have bad news though.”

“Oh, what is wrong Shadow?”

“It's the camp…It burned down.”

“Oh my God.” Rain said with sadness building up within her throat that the words came out raspy and sad.

“How did it happen?”

“Who did it?

“Is everyone okay?” Rain said all at once

“Slow down Rain, Well thieves came through and all they wanted was the Indians furs and tools but when Little Creek woke up he yelled thieves and everyone woke and a whole riot broke through the camp. Everyone was yelling and when things got out of hand a person accidentally knocked over their lantern and that is how the fire happened.”

“Oh my gosh, is Little Creek okay?”

“Let me finish Rain.”

“Oh sorry, keep on going I want to know what happened.”

“Well the fire spread quickly and Little Creek opened the gate and let all of us out, I ran and ran until I couldn't run anymore. I rested until the sun rose and when I went back to the camp there was nothing.”

“I looked everywhere and there was nothing but ash on the ground. The only thing I found was Little Creek's tattered shirt under a his T.P.”

“That is all I can tell you because that is all I found.”

Rain just stared at Shadow in disbelief, for an hour she just stared not even knowing what to think. But what she did think about was how selfless Little Creek was. The first thing Little Creek did was set his horses free. And I was certain that he did many other selfless acts to save his people. He was such a great Indian and he most likely died in his actions to save all he could. Finally Rain snapped out of the movie that was replaying over and over again in her mind of her homeland on fire. And cried into her beloved friends withers.

“How could this happen Shadow?”

“I don't know Rain, I just don't know.”

Rain finally backed up and said

“Come with me Shadow I want you to meet Spirit, the lead stallion of our herd.”

The little filly watched as her mother started to walk away and neighed a soft sound to her mother saying

“Where are you going mom?”

“Are you going to leave me here alone?”

Rain stopped abruptly and wheeled herself around and said

“Oh I am so sorry honey, no I am going to leave you here!”

The filly then brightened up and trotted to her mother.

“I don't believe that we met little one!” Shadow said sweetly

“I am sorry Shadow this is… I didn't really name her me and Spirit have been fighting over a name for a while and I just can't think of a name that we would both agree on.”

“Can you think of anything Shadow?”

“Well I don't know, what about Valley Wonder?”

“YOU ARE A GENIUS!” Rain Bellowed

“I love that name!” Rain said happily

“If Spirit doesn't like it this little filly will have two names I tell you!” Rain said a little bit too realistically

“I'm glad you like it!”

“Come on now…Valley” Rain said

The little filly looked at her mother weird then figured out it was her new name.



The little filly nickered “Hello” to the tall mare and followed her mother to Spirit.

“Spirit, Spirit.” Rain yelled exited to show Spirit her best friend and her exiting news

“What is it Rain?” Spirit asked

“Spirit I would like you to meet Shadow, she is my best friend from my homeland.”

“Oh nice to meet you Shadow I am Spirit the stallion of the Cimmeron Herd.” Spirit said proudly

“Same here!” Shadow replied

“Spirit you will not believe it, Shadow thought of a perfect name for our filly!”

“What is the name, tell me already” Spirit said anxiously

“How about Valley Wonder, we could call her Valley for short and I just love the name.” Rain said

“I love it Shadow!” Spirit said happily

“You do?” Rain and Shadow said at the same time

“Yes I do that will be our filly's name, Valley.” Spirit said very proud

I hate to be a pest but I traveled along way and is there possibly a spring or creek?” Shadow asked

“Yes there is a nearby pond on the outskirts of the woods, follow me.” Rain said cheerfully

As the two long lost friends got out of ear reach Rain said

“I really did want to talk to you alone anyways.”

“Oh really what is it you needed to tell me?

“Well I have been talking to one of the herd members, a mare and she said she has been having pain in her abdomen.”

“And she is not one of the mares that got pregnant might I add.” Rain said a little concerned

“Well, I don't know, how long has it been going on?” Shadow questioned

“Well we have been talking for about three weeks but I don't know how long she waited before telling me.” Rain answered

“ I really don't know what to say Rain.” Shadow mumbled sort of being ashamed she couldn't solve her problem

“That is alright Shadow, I just hope that it doesn't persist.” Rain said

As the two were catching up on things they heard a painful neigh coming from the herd. By the time the two galloped there the foal not too far behind they saw a circle of horses and a bay horse in the middle of the circle on the ground not moving at all. When Rain saw the sight she gasped in fright and scooted her filly out of eyesight.

“You stay right here alright Valley and don't move!” Rain said sternly

Rain then galloped to the circle of horses looked at Shadow and said with a frightened look on her face and the whites of her eyes showing

“It's her Shadow, It's her.”
