I look up at the sky. It’s been two days now since Spirit left us, and he still hasn’t returned. I’m beginning to get worried. Being his mate, leading the herd fell to me while he was away. It was a lot of responsibility. A lot more than I ever had being with the humans. Still, I was learning fast. Though, I’m not sure if I could hold off any dangerous animals… I hope he returns soon.
I look over the herd; a few of them shared my worried expression. The foals were as carefree as always, just running and playing in the grass.
