Selene looks towards him once again as she listened to him. "You couldn't control it! It isn't your fault. I just know it isn't your fault." She shakes her head. "I wouldn't leave my son behind or you behind. No one gets left behind... even a stranger like you." She moves her head back so he could look at her. "I welcome you into my home. Come.."
She perks her ears up as she listened to him and nods sagely at his words. "That is so true. But who are we to be scared of those very dangers? Take a leap of faith and see if that curse is really real or not... " She flattened her ears. "Because I have no mother or father. I was found as a foal on a clear full moon night. Hence the name.. Selene." She shakes her head. "I only merely guessed what happened to you. You cannot blame me for even guessing that by your body language or the fact that you resorted to anger in your voice. What have I done to you that got you so much hatred towards me, hmm?" She shakes her head. "I may know of some things out there.. but it doesn't keep me from you. I WANT to be with you, Theron.. Talk with me.. Fire boy.."

A harsh laugh ripped from Theron's throat at Selene's comment about how it is not his fault that the mare died and he shakes his head in disbelief, not sure why the mare completely believes that its not his fault about everything. "All right, Selene.. I am not asking you.. I am telling you to just leave me alone and just go back to your son. I am just a worthless stranger with a curse that is following me around."
Theron looks at the female wearily as he shakes his head, flicking his damp tail back and forth, sending the droplets flying into the air. "I don't hate you, Selene. I just don't want to see you get hurt or killed and make your son an orphan so early in his life." He softly says as he shakes his head while he moves away from the pond, heading toward the pasture without seeing if Selene is coming or not because he have a feeling she will follow regardless if he wanted her or not. "Fire boy?" He quirks a little smirk as he shakes his head. "But stay with me at your risk. Just tell your son not to blame me if you do die." His purple eyes flickers toward Selene with a hint of worry.

Selene gave him a smirk that would only tell that she was not budging from her spot by him. "You are not worthless.. at least to me in my eyes, hun." She shakes her head. "To me.. you are not cursed." She tilts her head to give him a smile, hoping it would ease him to trust her a bit more.
Selene just sighs once again. "The way you were talking to me in anger, it seems like it. Why take it out on me when your anger is towards whatever it hurt your beloved one?" She moves closer and smiled. "Your colors remind me of a fire.. So.. I couldn't help but call you that.. Fire boy." She nods softly. "I won't blame you for any pain or anything. It would be on me." She flicks her tail behind her and just moves to sit by him. "... Theron, could you tell me what happened or does it hurt too much to do so?" She asked softly.

Theron flinches as Selene used the dreaded word "hun" and he bares his teeth at her in a silent warning to ease off or he won't be responsible for his actions in near future. "You just met me and you are already passing all of those ridiculous opinions about me." He stares at the female like she's insane or she grew another head. "How would you know if I am not cursed or not? You haven't spent a day or a week with me." He narrows his eyes at the stubborn female.
It have been integrated into him not to lash out and attack any females even if they are pissing him off or pushing all of the right buttons so it have been a sheer test of willpower for Theron to just maintain some distance between him and her while keeping his temper under the reins.. just barely. "You are a female. My curse is associated with females. I want you to get away before you could get hurt. Can't you get that through your thick skull?" He snarled the words out as he ripped some of the salty sprouts out of the ground to chew violently on since he can't beat Selene up to get it through to her that he doesn't want her around.
"Call me whatever you want since you won't see me again after the moon disappears from the skies." Theron mutters as he glares at her more when she smiled at him. He stiffens up when she asked him to tell her what happened and he just makes a small snorting noises while shaking his head. "I just met you, mare... no. I will not tell you about it." He grumbles and glares at her more.

Selene saw the flinch when she had called him hun and tilts her head. "Theron.. You need to relax. You cannot blame yourself for what happened. No one can control everything. Do your best to remind yourself of that." She trots up a bit towards him, showing concern in her eyes. "How do I know? Because I know something like that isn't a curse..It is just a tragedy, Theron.. Something that you would live with but think about it.. Do you think anyone or anything would come and get me from this very spot?" She turns her head to look around the place. "No wolves.. no predators of any kind.. We are safe."
She listened to him as she chuckled softly. "I am a female. We are known to be stubborn just as much as you males can be. You cannot tell a female what to do. They are very much like a feline.. Will do what they desire." She gave him a catty smile. She frowned at the sprouts. "Must you eat that? We need to find some clovers for us to eat.. They are good and will help our bodies."
She grins. "And we'll see about that, fire boy." She nods softly before moving to get some normal grass to chew on a bit. "That is understandable. I am sorry for that.. Really I am.. Just want to be here for you."

Theron narrows his eyes at Selene as he glares at her dangerously before he steps away from the stubborn female when she trotted up, closing in the distance between them. "I never said it will be immediate." He growls the words out as he continues to move backward, away from the female. "It is a damned tragedy and a blessing that she is dead." He snarls at Selene, remembering all of the actions that was done toward him by that deceased mate.
Feeding into that renewed anger, the stallion rears up when the mare got too close for his comfort and bares his teeth at her in a warning. "You are NOT my mother. I just happen to like those sprouts." He snapped the words out as he rips another mouthful of sprouts out of the ground violently while glaring at her. "I already know that the damned females will do whatever they damn please even if it hurts the ones they love." He glares at Selene fiercely. "So you are not helping your case here, Selene."
"You want to be here for me yet you don't even know me beside my name? You are insane, mare. Bloody insane." The stallion shakes his head as he tosses his head a bit before he moves off toward a known patch of delicious salty grass. "You can stay here for few days but that's the maximum length I am willing to let you stay near me." He glares at the mare once again, feeling himself softening up but he knows he can't.

Selene tilts one ear up towards him while grazing on the sweet grass that she had found. She made a growl which sounds like a cute burr. "A blessing?! Why would it be a blessing that she is dead?! I doubt she was truly in your heart then." She shakes her head and moved herself a bit away from him. "I would be heart broken if someone like you had died.. I wouldn't be myself for a long time." She then thought of her son. "... Especially my little man." She sighs softly between chews.
She rears back as well when she had gotten closer earlier. "I may not your mother but someone needs to get your butt back to earth! Think about it.. Would she wants you to believe that it is a curse? Would she want you to be like this? Hurting and not talking to anyone? I think not! I think she would be more pissed at you that you are like this!" Tears forms in her eyes as they could be seen before she turned away suddenly. "I would be.." She whispered.
She shakes her head. "It wouldn't matter if I know you completely. It is called Kindness, Theron.. I doubt you know about that, Fire boy." She moves a bit to grab some of the sweet clovers that were nearby. The shininess of tears would fall to the ground while she grazed.

Theron's ears twitches at Selene's attempt at growling which amused him and but that amusement was short-lived because she snapped at him about considering that mare's death to be part of a blessing as well as curse. "Oh I loved her." He simply says coldly as he turns his head toward the grass. "You have no idea how much I loved her. But she decided to throw that love back in my face." He finishes and fills his mouth up with grass once again so he won't have to eat.
"Mark my words. I am not the same as I used to be before she died, Selene." The coldness dropped few degrees from his voice as he glances over at the female whom is crying while eating the grass. He frowns a bit but he knows that his actions is necessary because he doesn't want to develop feelings for this female then have them being shattered when the curse do rear its ugly head and take her away from him. He already could sense that the moon is leaving and the sun is coming, its a gradual dance between those two lovers in the skies.
"You are already judging me, my little moon." Theron snapped the words out at her, not realizing that he gave her an affectionate nickname. "I do know kindness. I also know pain and heartbreak.. and I also personally knows Death himself. So don't you dare to pass judgements on me without knowing the full story."

Selene once again glares at him. "If you really loved her then you would see it from her point of view... If she really cared about you.. She wouldn't want you to be like this. She wouldn't want you to be this pissed." By now the tears were really falling down her cheeks as if they were rivers. "I wouldn't care if she had hurt me before that very moment.. .The point is she was your true love. While you have every right to be grieving but it doesn't mean for you to be closed minded. What happened to her wasn't a curse... It was just something you couldn't control. I cannot stress this enough to get you to open your mind, fire boy."
Selene tilts her head towards him as she listened to him. "Not the same? You mean.. you are not normally a flaming stallion with a huge ego?" She glanced to the sky and sees her beloved moon is going to sleep and smiled slightly at it. She looks back towards him. ".. It is almost morning." She shakes her head as the wind blew the sparkling tears away from her cheeks.
Selene shakes her head. "Judgement is not what I am doing.. I am just trying to stop you from doing a huge mistake. No one deserves to be alone.. Especially after a loss of a loved one." She trots up to him. "Let it out..Maybe telling the story would help.. I don't know.. Everyone reacts differently to a loss." She whispered. She hadn't realized that he had given her a nickname til just now. She wondered if his heart was awakening slowly.. She then knew that he just needs time to see that she wouldn't get hurt. ".. You won't lose this friend in me... I can promise you that, fire boy."

"It is her that don't love me in the first place!" Theron rounds onto Selene, fury glittering in his now flaming (effect of the moon) purple eyes and he snarls at her furiously. "If.She.Loved.Me.She.Wouldn't.Have.Led.Me.On." With every word he grounded out, he steps closer to the female in a threatening posture with his teeth bared in a vicious snarl at her. The sight of Selene's crying actually is getting to him because he never likes to see any females cry or being in pain in any form and his fury abates little bit.
"Listen to me, my little moon. This mare that died. She wasn't my true lifemate at all. She led a double life and me on. She had a lifemate and children on other side of the island but she was too guilty and didn't want to hurt me so she attempted to lead the double life. It backfired on her big time because I saw her children and they are carbon copy of her. All right? Now you can stop that blasted crying." He grumbles as he glares at her, his force of fury is at half power instead of full power. "All stallions have a huge ego, you need to learn that fact and deal with it, mare." He growls the word out as he puts the distance between them when she mentioned that its almost morning.
"Well, congratulations. You survived the first night with me." Theron sardonically says as he quirks his eyebrow at the female. "What are you going to do when the sun is fully awake? Go back to your little man, that's what you are going to do." He narrows his eyes a bit at her, realizing that he didn't really want her to go. She is the first genuine friend he encountered in very long time.

Selene couldn't believe her ears as she continues to listen to him. Someone.. hurt him? Someone dared to hurt someone that would be so loyal? She shakes her head at him and stared at him in disbelief. "... Sh.. She did that?!" She didn't move at all even when he was moving towards her. "How could anyone hurt someone.. A heart is not something to play with!" She frowned as she looks towards him. "Theron.. I am not scared of you. You ought to know that by now."
She would stand before him as she listened to him. "..Then perhaps the lifemate that you need is right under your nose.. Someone to take your pain away." She whimpered slightly. "I know I would want someone like that.." She frowned. "You don't have to see them at all.. You don't have to even talk to them. It is a BLESSING that they are not in your life.. You know what? I am now.. I'll be your friend.. I'll stay in your life. My son will as well." The tears slowly stopped as she just looks into his eyes.
She looks to the sunrise and then at him. "No.. Not when you need me the most." She whispered. "I don't want to leave you." She moved up close to biting range if he wanted to bite her. She wouldn't do anything if he did. "Where shall we go, my fire boy?"

Theron rolls his eyes as he gives her "I told you so" look before he moves away from Selene when the skies begins to lighten up and the stars begins to fade away. "Why did you think I say that her death is part of a blessing? Because it is, I am free of the heartache and the troubles that came with that damned mare." He shakes his head and laughs when Selene comments about lifemate is right under his nose. "I don't need or want a lifemate, Selene." He looks at her with a neutral expression.
"And how would you know I will treat you like a queen you deserve to be treated? Love you? and do all of those things that a proper lifemate would? instead of twisted things like the mare did to me?" Theron fires a barrage of questions at her. "You may be my friend but you can't be any more than that. I don't trust you right now." His eyes connects with hers before they moved away from hers. "You are hellbent on being by my side, are you?" He grumbles as he fidgets, not sure if he should just head off to his small cave to sleep or just stay here to argue more with Selene because he knows that if he does go to his cave, she will follow him. She's that damned stubborn, that's the fact Theron knows so well by now.

Selene gave him a stubborn look. "Don't you dare give me that told you so look, Theron.. You silly fire boy." She would move to him. "Her death is one but not one... It is wrong to be a critic of her.. But.. I don't know... for once." She laughs softly at her own words. ".. You are just saying that now, Theron.. Your heart is the one that tells you.. NOT YOU." She tilts her head. "Just spend time with me.. That is what friends do."
She looks into his eyes and smiled. ".. Because underneath all of that pain.. that anger.. that grief.. There is a stallion that needs someone to be there for him.. someone to love him and hold his heart as if it was a precious diamond.. something so fragile but yet so strong." She would move along with him slowly. "Hellbent? Maybe.. I just want to be by you. Whatever happens.. happens. Just.. let your heart grow." She gave him a smile. "Your little moon is not gone from the sky of your heart.. It'll always be there.. as a friend."

Theron notices that look that he have grown to recognize as her stubborn look and he scowls at her fiercely, not happy that the fates have decided to throw a stubborn mare in his way when he's not fully recovered from the entire situation with his previous mate. "She deserve every slash, bite and ounce of pain when a pack of whatever they were that was ripping her apart." He growls the words out as he shakes his head. "I just regret that...." He stops himself and glares at Selene pissedly.
"Friends? I never said you are my friend, my little moon." The stallion glares at her more before he turns his head toward the skies, glaring at the colors that is starting to creep up from the horizon, chasing the darkness away. "I don't need anyone to be there for me. I have been doing just fine on my own for few months now." He snapped his response out and he indirectly leads her toward the beach without realizing it. "What heart? I don't even have one anymore, mare. Get that through your skull." He growls the words out.

It took every ounce of her body not to move and slap him in the face with her tail. She growls back at him. "No one deserves a life like that.. Not even her! All I am saying is.. It is a blessing that you don't have to see THE KIDS! Not her. FORGET ABOUT HER!" She neighed the words out and shudders as she teeters slightly, nearly have used the rest of her energy right then and there.
"..Why call me your little moon then?" She says when she settled herself down some. "If I am not your friend.. then what am I, hm? She teeters just enough to lick him on the cheek for a few seconds. She moves away to follow him to wherever he wanted to go. Her tail flicked side to side behind her. "Standing outside the fire.. Life is not tried.. Just merely surviving." She looks towards him. "The fires of death is what you were facing because of her... Think bout it.. What doesn't kill you... Makes you stronger... I can see past the pain in your eyes.. I can see past the anger.." She trots a bit more, seeing where they were going.
