Heart Broken.

Death pressed his body to Royal's and hung his head over her back and started to groom her, thinking about their future, possible foals ahead of them.

Royal smiled and stood still, thinking about alot of things then started grooming him, when she got to his flank she stopped and thought for a moment

Death stood still for Royal while she groomed him, realizing she had stopped at his flank, he looked behind at her. "Whats up?" He asked curiously.

Royal shook her head and sadi"nothing."then she turned to look at Death and her nose touched his

Royal stared at Death, she hadn't realised he turned to face her and she moved her head slightly back so their noses didn't quite touch

"Royal." Death groaned, hoping she'd just tell him the truth.

Royal looked at Death"what?"she asked

Death chuckled and licked her cheek gently.

Royal blinked and stared at Death, wondering what he was groaning about then she smild and forgot about it then turned her head again and started grooming Death once again

Death stood still,muscles tensing underneath his skin. He looked around, full of boredom.

Royal sighed softly then suddenly heard something int he bushes and raised her head and saw the bushes rustle....then she heard a growl..she pinned her ears and took a step away from Death and towards the bush

Death, too, heard the growl. He snorted fiercely and paced towards Royal, his rump just beside her rump. The animal growl again. Death's muscles tensed and slightly rippled underneath his tough, smooth skin. A large blurred black figure, a wild dog, pounced at Royal but luckily he put himself inbetween her and the danger. Death flattened his ears against his broad neck and bared his teeth. The rings of the dogs eyes were crimson red and this dog was much bigger than a wolf, maybe a werewolf. Death and the dog circled each other for a moment, deciding who would make the first move. Expectedly, the dog launched itself at Death powerfully, he moved swiftly to the side and the dog flew into the tree, knocking itself out for a while. Death turned to Royal with wary, fierce eyes, "Run as far as you can away from here! Its hungry and it will find until the death! I will be right behind you know run!" Death firmly nipped her rump and kicked her back legs gently before the dog stood up, ready for more fighting.

Royal sared at Death for a moment then at the animal, shook her head"you better not get hurt"she said before turning and galloping off

Death cried out in pain as the animal pounced onto his rump and clawed it, slashing his sides violently. Squealing, Death's reflexes kicked in, he bucked rapidly, sending to animal off him rump and to the ground, a large black hoof mark already forming on the center of the werewolves rib cage. It howled out in pain and Death shuddered at the loud sound. While it was howling, Death reared and landed on the beast's back. Sickening crack could be heard as the animal went down.. down.. down. The werewolf started to shed tears at the side of its eyes, knowing its back was broken and there was no way it was to live. Death reared up in pleasure, this was his fight! Landing, he purposely slammed his hoof into its head and killed it. Blood oozing out of the animals mouth, eyes and ears. He snorted, quite pleased with himself. Death dragged the body into the forest so Royal wouldn't see what he done and walked back to the lake victoriously to wash the blood off his coat. He returned shortly after with his coat a shining jet black and neighed for Royal to come back out.

Royal pricked her ears, hearing Death's neigh, turned around and trotted over to him nad smiled weakly and then nuzzled him then pulled her back and examined Death"you aren't hurt are you?"she asked

Death shrugged, the corners of his mouth twitching, "A few minor cuts here and there, but yeah, I'm okay." He nuzzled her reassuringly, pressing his body to hers while nibbling on her mane contently.

Royal looked at Death"i said not to get hurt.....that meant no cuts or anything, mister"
