This is in a spoiler because there is bulling and physical hurt done. I don't want anyone to be triggered so place be warned before reading this. Its not to bad but i dont want this story to bring up anything bad for others. "Ha ha you are a five horn. You are a five horn!" The echoes of foals laughter filled the air. Tears streams down Aiyana's cheeks staining her soft grey fur. "You are noting but a mistake that the Great Tree made." The biggest boy foal told her as she stood in the middle of the billing cycle of foals. This had become normal for Aiyana ever since her extra horns had come in. She did not have them when she was first born but as she grow so did they.
She could still remember the siring pain when they had first started to grow. Her loving mother had given her willow to try and take some of the pain away but it had done nothing. She could remember watching her sweet mother cry for her as she screamed in agony until they finally broke through. Once they had her mother stood in awe at the beauty of the horn her daughter now grow. It made Aiyana proud to have them and she felt beautiful.
At least she had until the bulling had started. Hazar had been the ring leader of the ones who had bullied her. He always knew just the right thing to say to cute the deepest. "You stupid horned freak. No one could ever love a doe that is a freak like you." He spat at her with laughter and everynoul else joined in. She tried to not let them see how much it hurt her but he had also know just wait to say to get her to start crying.
It was a cold winter's afternoon when Hazar and his group had cornered her. The buck had been on a roll of taunting and bullying but for some reason today Aiyana was just not braking. She had taken lash after lash quietly as the group tried to hurt her feelings. Hazar started to grow angry at this game and the group grow scared of what might happen if she didn't give him what he wanted. Finally he lashed out and bushed her while yelling "Since your mother did not have the guts to kill you I will." Pushing her harder she fell down and hit her head on a rock, the last thing she remembered was their laughter and she blacked out.
When she woke it was snowing. She had no idea how she was still alive and at first she was sure she was not but then the pain came and she knew she had lived through the attack. Tears poured down her cheeks freely."Why am I so different?" She whales into the cold night air. For the first time she grow angry at her difference and could think of only one way to change it.
Running out into the Ruins her anger drove her on in search of something, anything to fix her problem. In a shop she found what she hoped would forever remove these horns. With painstaking effort she wedged a horn in a clamp and jerked her head. With a loud and painful crack her horn brock under the pressure and weight of her small foal body. A scream that at first she did not realize was coming form her ripped through the air sending any near by birds into flight. And then she blacked out again.

"No no we are leaving tonight." A familiar voice invaded her mind. "But you cant this is our home." Another voice came in a plea. "Honey we have to. She is our baby and she isn't going to make it if we keep her in this environment any more." It was her mother crying Aiyana was sure of it now. She must be talking to her father. Straining to open her eyes she looked around and found she was in her family den.
"Mama? How did I get here?" she called out and her mother came to her side. "I found you dear sweet filly." Tears formed in Aiyana as she remember what had caused her to black out and how it must have looked to her mother. "I'm ... I'm sorry mama." She cried into her mothers shoulder. "I know I know sweetie. It is ok we are going to take care of you. We are going to leave this place where you will be safe." Her mother promised her and Aiyana was so relived by that and could not wait really but sleep took her back down into the blackness.

That was the memories that filled Aiyana's mind as she walked back to the Homewood. She was a full grown doe now and she had spent most of her lift far far way form this place. She was not sure why she was here now but she knew she needed to come back. Her mother and father taken her as far form this place that night but they where no more. They had been old when they had had her and she was an only child, so she had nothing left where they had gone. The Homewoods was the only place she knew.
As she walked into the tree line she hoped that Hazar was no where around. She just was not ready for that. She had grown to love herself as she was and her horns had even grown lovely little white flowers giving her a strong famine look that she loved really. But she still could not get pass the buck that had caused her so much pain as a foal. With a deep breath she moved through the woods with hope to finding a life of happiness which was she mothers last dying wish for her.
