Join The Herd...

Calamazoo gazed after the second new mare inquisitvely. Where was she going, now? He snorted in surprise and question, but didn't chase after her. He saw that she was moving towards Belle and the other strange new mare. Cal didn't have a good feeling about this coal-black mare. She just smelled . . . dark. He kept both of his dark brown eyes on the three mares and watched them carefully. If this new mare tried anything, he would be there to protect his loved ones.

Our conversation was interupted by one of the newest mares, who didn't seem to please with how the Alpha seemed to ignore all the new arrivals, including myself. Glancing past her, I could see I was being carefully watched by the stallion who had somehow gotten the title as the Alpha of the herd. Honostly, I wasn't exactly impressed. "Indeed..." I commented, but my voice was distant. I was wondering when the brute would get the courage to approach the small group that formed around me. And I knew sooner or later his curiousity would get the best of him, might as well be patient and wait.

Looking back towards the two mares, I realized neither of them knew my name, nor did I know of theirs. "My apologies, but I don't believe I caught either of your names." I waited patiently, obviously waiting for a response before introducing myself more properly. I had hoped that I would only have to make one introduction to the leader, and eventually my name would slowly be recognized by the rest of the herd. But apparently, that plan was out of the question.

<sub>"My apologies, but I don't believe I caught either of your names."

Apparently she was incredibly cautious, seeing as she didn't give her own name when asking for ours. Interesting. Something bad must have happened to her before, or she wouldn't have done that. "Quite all right," I replied. "I suggest we not go by our full names, just until we know each other better. That way we cannot be truly identified." I wasn't sure how this would go over, but better safe than sorry. "I'm Cathia, or Bella. Either one will do."

As I watched, the ebony mare's eyes shifted to look at the Alpha of the herd. Pah, alpha. Secretly I wondered how he had achieved his status. I mean, he wasn't even coming over to greet the newcomers! I had had to come to him to be recognized. Truly, a leader like that was no leader at all. The corner of my maw twitched down in disapproval, yet again. Perhaps coming here was not the best idea.
