Who's that lovely lady standing there? {open}

The thunderstorm had arrived, just as many animals had predicted. Some had seen it coming as it blew across the ocean, striking viciously at the water that was below it. The sky had grown darker and darker as the seconds turned to minutes. Some had known by the sights of the thunderstorm, others had felt the storm approaching by the dramatic pressure changes brought on by the attack of the distant storm. Most animals had thought to take cover before the storm arrived, but one, lone horse decided that she wanted to watch the storm approach. The lightening was so beautiful as it struck out across the ocean, and then the rumble of thunder as it rolled across the land was music to her ears.

The horse was very young, only four years old, and she was a mare. Her name was Persephone, named after Demeter's daughter. She was a bay mare who had been abandoned at only a year old. She had been roaming the lands for a year, searching for a family that would take her in. So far, she had found no one, and she was still on her own. She kind of liked it that way, though. There was no one around to bother her when she wanted to be alone, so that was one positive thing about it. But being alone all the time could get fairly boring. She sighed at the thought. You would think that after a year, one would get used to being alone. That wasn't the case, though.

The young mare had started up the steep climb just after the rain had started, but now that she was almost to the top, she wondered why she had chosen this place to find shelter. She knew there was a cave at the top of the steep incline, but the climb up was very dangerous, and Persephone had already slipped a few times. She told herself to not look down, but she had to watch her feet. She focused solemnly on her feet and refused to let her eyes shift to the water 75 feet below. Her heart pounded within her chest as she climbed higher, the dark clouds making the area almost completely black until the lighting struck, lighting up the sky for only a moment before disappearing to let the rumbling of the thunder take over.

As soon as Persephone reached the safety of the cave, she let out a long breath of relief that she realized then that she had been holding while she climbed up. Her heartbeat started to slow, and she inched her way farther into the cave, hoping that she wasn't intruding on anyone's home or anything along those lines. Her hooves clicked on the hard stone floor, echoing off the walls of the cave and making it hard to know where exactly the cave ended. The air was chilled slightly in the cave, making the mare shiver. At last, Persephone found a dead end that wasn't too far from the entrance, so she had a little light, but it was still much colder than she would have liked. It was her only escape from the storm, though, so it would have to do for now. She sighed gently and folded her legs underneath her, lying down on the chilly stone floor. She knew that she couldn't lie down for long, but she needed to get off of her feet for a bit, even if it was only for a few minutes. Her eyes watched the entrance to the cave as it lit up with every lightening strike. She was already drying off, and she was thankful that she had found this cave to offer her shelter.

.By the time i was your age I'd give anything. there was a storm rolling in. The stallion could feel it. He knew that it would be best if he looked for shelter before it arrived fully. but he quite enjoyed storms. the rumble of the thunder, the crash of the lightning across the sea. storms where beautiful. all the other animals had dashed for cover as soon as they sensed the storm, so it was just the stallion, and the beauty of mother nature. although he had been alone for some time now and usually enjoys his own company. he couldn't help but think about what it would be like to be sharing this with someone.

.to fall in love truly was all i could think. as the storm rolled closer to shore, he decided now would be a good time to look for shelter. he knew that there was a cave somewhere around here, it just involved a rather challenging climb. he began walking slowly in the general direction of the cave, taking in all the sights,sounds and smells of the rain, the thunder, and the lightning. enjoying it all while it lasted. he was completely drenched, and rather cold. but he didn't let it bother him. storms where all different, and didn't happen everyday, so he'd all ways take the time out to watch them. even just for a little while.

.that's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams. as he began the steep climb up to the cave, he knew that he needed to concentrate on his feet. not the storm. as much as he enjoyed the sea, he didn't want to fall into it. step by slow step, he slowly made his way into the cave. once he reached the mouth of the cave he turned around for one last proper look at the storm.
after about 5 more minutes of storm-gazing, he decided that it was about time he tried to dry off.. and warm up! he turned around and walked further into the cave, his hooves clicking on the stone ground.

.she said boy can i tell you a wonderful thing?. as he walked further into the cave, he could swear that he could smell another horse. a mare perhaps? someone to share the storm with? "hello?"he said into the darkness. hoping for a reply.
