Hurt. Thats what she was. Hurt. Broken, and bleeding before her home's entrance. She sighed, looking into the dark underbrush as she lowered her head to walk underneath the willow tree branches where Ciro and her had resided since that night.
Ciro offered a kind, warm body to her during the night, and he thoughts had rested on foals for weeks.. But she was happy now that she was not pregnant, for that beast would have destroyed her family for sure. She hated Richard.. Always had. She hadnt trusted him, even though father assured her safety..
She walked slowly, her right front leg limp as she did. She was hurting, and she just wanted to lay down. Where was Ciro anyway?
She collapsed at the base of the tree, her eyes squeezing closed.

Ciro was down by the lakes edge, muching on some sweet water grass... even in the snows of winter and the chills that would soon give way to spring, sweet young grassess still sprung up un the chilled shallow water. He stood on the watter, just bearly over his hooves in depth, the faint moonlight sparckeling off of the wing patterns when he heard a thump.
He rose his head quickly, ears perking forward as those liquid black eyes scanned the area. Untill a moment ago his snout had been in the water, but now that his nose was free to the air he smelt that sweet metaluc tang of blood... someone was hurt.
Water dripped down his muzzle like sparckleing beads of liquid glass before returning to the lake... some poor creatuyre was hurt... and then a though occured to him. Naina was late comeing home... dawn was not far off and normaly she was back home to their littel gully made of willow and morning glory long before the horizon started to lighten.
He raised one hoof up slowy, as if he were still thinking.. and then in a flash he left the water, on the soft sad in a stride and galloping his way back to their littel home... to see naina collapsed in the night iar.

Her body rose with the breaths she took, but she shook as the pain grasped her with every single breath. Her blue-purple ears flicked as she heard the other come running to her aid, but she found herself unable to raise her head. Evening opening her one eye to see her mate beside her.
She gave him a soft smile, even able to come up with some sense of happiness at his being near her.
Her tail flicked, and the fireflies seemed to dance around her face as if asking what was wrong. But the sky was growing cloudy. It seemed even before the sun rose it would rain. Perfect weather for how the little mare was feeling.
Skinwalkers were not something to mess with..She'd messed with Kalonas,mutants,and none of them struck fear in her.. But she was so scared of Richard now. She'd escaped with her life, barely,thanks to her once teepee mate Esperanza.
But she'd run off from Esper,and had trudged home.. But she couldn't muster the strength to speak just yet. So she closed her eyes again and sighed.

Cirocco dropped to the ground beside her, drapeing his neck over hers and nuzzeling her ears gently before raising his head and surveying her injurys. His eyes narrowed and he felt a fire light deep in the pit of his stomach, a burning angery that someone would do this to his beautifull littel Naina.
The normaly calm and ethreal stallion swollowed the flare of anger and lowered his head to his mate, speaking softly to her " Oh love holdon ill get you inside, just be strong for me a moment longer " He said as he raised his head to the sky.
The first chilling raindrop struck his face and he swollowed a curse before getting to his hooves and darting into their littel leafy sheter. As quickly as he could he used his hooves to compacdt the soft cushioning of fallen leaves into a smallker pile, turning away from the large veiney prants and giveing them a few swift kicks, a shower of falling leaves raining down on him.
After makeing what he considered to be a sutable place for his ingured love to rest he returned to her... a roll of thunder in the distance like a ominouse promise floating to their ears as the rain finnaly started to fall... a few scattered drops here and there as they slowly gained power.
He knelt down by his mate once more, lowering his heat to her " Lovely im going to need you to try and stand for me... " he said softly... it would be harder to get her in the shelter if she couldten walk on her own, the only other opould be painf to todd her onto his back and that would be painfull to her already injured ribs.

Naina's heart was still capable of fluttering even in her painful condition. She relished in his touch and she sat still, letting the warmth of him fill the air. But now the air smelled of blood, pain, and the soft tinge of rain as she finally heard it cascade to the ground.
She listened to his words, and felt herself want to call to him as he left her the first time. Why was he leaving her? She needed him right now, needed him badly.
But before she had the chance to really miss him, or summon the energy to call out to him, he had returned.
Of course he hadn't left her, he had gone inside, to do.. To do what exactly? She wasn't sure, she didnt care. He had come back.
His head lowered to hers, and she perked an ear to listen to the words he spoke.
She didn't know if she could move.. She wasn't even sure how badly she was injured..She only knew she felt awful, and the pain wasn't abating.
Putting her left front hoof in front of her, she used the majority of that leg to lift herself up, her eyes squeezing closed, and her mouth making an O as she moaned her pain.
"Get me inside Ciro.. I don't know how long I can stand.."
She said gently, leaning into him slightly as she limped away.
His strong body, the only thing keeping her from collapsing from exhaustion and pain once more.

Cirocco watched her attemp to stumble her way to the pranches, a good nother 20 or so feet away, leaning so heavily against him if he hadent been there there was no way she could have stood... Hearing her moan of pain he sighed... not at her but realy had not wanting to carry her for fear of hurtning her...
" Darling this might hurt for just a second... " He said and even to his own ears it didnht sound very incourageing... she was already hurting and he had no clue what had done it... but better her to hurt for a moment longer then to get soaking wet....
WHine she was trying to take another step forward he droped back... sinking down and slideing his head under her ribcage and then forward between her from legs, his body slinking under hers before she had a moment to even stumble... And then riseing steadily to stand.,.. his tiny make draped along his back...
He knew the added pressure onto her ribs couldent be comfortable, but were as they would stiull be trying to stumble twordes the shelter he already had her inside.... slowly lowering himself to the ground beside the soft like of leaves so she could slide herself onto the soft bed.

One second she had been leaning on the stallion, and the next she felt the burn of bruised ribs as he slid under her. She called out in pain, but it was only momentarily. The pain had subsided in her ribs as he lowered her to the soft bed he had made from branches and soft grasses. He was a kind mate, that was certain.
She raised her head slightly as he lowered her, and her legs lay to the side. She was resting on her side now, breathing slowly as to not further hurt her aching body.
The hurt had turned into a grave ache, that she couldnt decide was better than the burn or not.. The ache was just as uncomfortable..
Her amethyst eyes blinked to Ciro, and she offered up a gentle smile, telling him thank you with her eyes as well.
"Ciro.. Thank you.. I appreciate it." She said, looking at him with all the love she could muster.
She stretched her neck to lick his cheek, and hissed quietly in pain as she drew her neck back.
Bloody marks scorned her neck, and hoofprints had battled her ribs.. It was intent what the stallion had tried to do to her..Had tried in vain to do, as she had escaped his clutches first.

" You rest now love.. Ill take care of you... " He said as he lowered his head to nuzzle her before turning those dark eyes to look down her body... along her neck and her sides... that flare of anger riseing up trying to consume him again.
He fought it down... Naina didnt need his temper right now, she needed his support... " Lovely who did this to you? " he asked in a supriseingly quiet voice, his eyes turning back to lock onto hers as she rested on the soft pile of foliage.
He was a relatively small stallion... swift and strong... but nothing outstanding... though the thought that he wasnt exseedingly stong didnt accur to him as his mind had already desided he had to kill whoever dids this.

She thought back,and remembered the encounter perfectly. She had been so scared.. and this was someone her father trusted.. She shook her head, her curls tossing about as she finally raised her neck slightly, just enough to look at him.Her head resting that way made her bruised self look lovely. As if she was never injured..
But her curls fell away, and revealed the bruise once more, along with her ear being bleeding and swollen.
"R-Richard.." She said, amethyst eyes locking onto his dark shiny ones.
"My father's close aquaintance.. He tried.. He tried to.."
She busted out in tears, her eyes squeezing closed as she looked to the ground, a tear falling and mixing with the leaves upon the ground.
Ciro couldn't want her now.. Not while being a whore of a mare.. Rape was still sleeping around.. Her heart had been broken, her mind had been hurt. So what if he hadn't been successful.. He'd gotten close enough..

Ciro frowned and sooted closer to her, his long tail wraping around her like a silken blanket, wraping his body around her in a protective gesture so that she had the soft leafy wall infront of her, and the solid side of his body protecting her from the outside.
" Shhh love.... no one can hurt you here... im here to protect you... " he said nuzzleing her good ear gently as he let her cry it all out.... This richard she spoke of he had never met... come to think of it he had never met her father either... but... hed have to track him down now... if they were aquaintances then he should know were the stallion was.

Naina took a deep breath as she finished her crying, and looked up at Ciro. She didn't want him to go after Richard, but her lovely boy would try.. She knew it.. It would be bad, and she couldnt live without Ciro.
"Ciro, don't go chase him, my love.. Dont.."
She said, leaning her head under his and keeping her neck tight and close to his as well.
"I dont want you to get hurt.. I cant live without you."
She said, nestling in the crook of his body.

Cirocco curled himself around her, useing his body to try to keep her warm against the downpour of rain that surrounded their littel home. " Love the fact that you are hurt hurts me... and this cannot go unpunnished.. " he said, his voice quiet... as if he were afraid if he let his voice rise he would start screaming.
" You sleep my love, Ill always be here for you... but protecting you is my job... "
He watched her as she drifted to sleep, her body exhausted and acheing from the wounhds... she slept and started to heal. He couldent promise to not go after richard... because that was ecactly what he was planning... But first he had to visit Jean-Claude.
He would know were Richard is.
