Stalking ….
I quietly trotted a ways behind this horse; stalking for sure but I knew he wouldn't see me, at least not until it was too late. My bay dappled coat blended in perfectly to the forest we were walking in…….
I picked up my trot into a canter began eating up the distance between us. I jumped, as I was sailing through the air, I grabbed my wrought iron knife and landed , cutting a clean line straight through his throat.
As I watched him thrash, my mind wandered to the first time I had seen this stallion…….
I was still a colt, but taller than my father. We were through this forest in early spring when this stallion , appropriately named igneous , leaped out of the forest and stabbed my father with the same knife that took his life.(karma bitches)my father's body slumped over and his favorite hat had fallen off. I was so angry and shocked that I leaped at the surprised stranger, hitting him with my forelegs and knocking him out. It wasn't a killing blow but it was enough. I took the knife from my father's chest and the second from igneous's hind leg , re opening a cut I got a few days ago Being stupid. I grabbed my dad's hat - the last piece of him I had and began to run….
I was always the fastest of my herd so I just ran, ran to nowhere in particular , killing everyone in my way. I vowed to find that stallion again and next time show him no mercy and I finally did ….
Let vengeance reign
And blood flow
