Let herself fall in love,
With Mr.Right,
Didn't know how hard,
He could put up a fight,
Broke her heart..
It was hard.

The brindle essa leaned up against the cold tree. Everything about her was chilled. She felt cold all over. WAnted to see blood shed. WAnted to see tears fall.

Why? She had loved Masquarde. She thought he felt the same. Though he loved her and no one else. Yet she saw him and some other mangy slut, mounted and everything. HE was a cheater. A two timer. She hated him.

Why? Why had she been stupid enough to fall under his spell? She couldn't bare to ever think of him again. It hurt to much.

Masquerade made his way through the land at a slow walk. His crown hung low. He really didn't know where his life was headed. It was all fine until Jeannie came along and Rosabella disappeared. Well she disappeared to him, he had tried to find her a number of times. Every single time he would go out looking for her, Jeannie would ask him where he was going and tell Quixtant what was going on. Why would Quixtant care? He had appointed Masquerade a stud, and now he was all pissed off about Masquerade's attempts to find Rosabella. If Quixtant favoured Jeannie so much, why didn't he breed with her and make her the goddess of the land.

Masquerade let out a frustrated snort and broke into a gallop, not caring where he was headed. He halted suddenly when he saw the form of a brindled essa up ahead. Could it be? He shook his head. His mind was probably playing tricks on him, but to be sure he trotted in the direction of the equine. "Rosabella?" he called out, waiting for reply before he got any closer.

Her head rose, auds perked. She knew who's voice it was, as the large stag approached her. She looked away from him, thorn bushes tearing at her legs.

"Why would you care? You've bred to just about every mare in Terra De Mafia." She snapped somberly, sighing at her own words. She loved him, but right now, she wished he wasn't here.

[Vel]

Masquerade took a few steps back when she snapped at him. Okay, so she had every reason to be mad at him. "I care because I have been looking for you for the longest of time." he quietly replied. He was going to add something about the second part of her statement, but he found that it might be better to keep his gob shut. It wasn' every mare in here, it was two. The other's were from other herds. That was what he was going to say, but he kept it shut.

He took a few steps closer, waiting for her reaction.

Rosabella looked up from the frigid grounds. Snow fell in a pattern on her brindle coat. And in that second that he said those words, she hated him. If he was looking for her, did he have to stop at the breeding meadows everytime?

"Masquarde, when I first saw you...I knew. And I don't thnk my feeling for you will ever go away. But...Living under Quixtant's rules may be to much for me. I'm almost afraid to speak one wrong word."
"You have plenty mares already. From here, all different mares. But I'm not going to be your toy, Masquarde. I'm turning myself in to Terra De Rocas. There will be hope for me, and a bit of freedom there."

Her delicate head looked down at the white ground. Her tail loosely flicked as she nodded at her descion. She looked up into his eyes. But she didn't feel burning passion. She felt devastation. Depression, and heartbrake.

[Vel]

Masquerade listened to her words. He didn't say anything, feeling it wasjust better for him to keep quiet. He felt the same way about living in Quixtant's land, under his rule. The only thing that came out of his velvet kissers were the words "I'm sorry." He muttered them so sofly, he was sure that she couldn't hear him. Masquerade didn't really know what to do, he looked to Rosabella to see what she would do.

She sighed, and looked up. "Don't be. Have fun here, no doubt I won't see you or your foals soon." She said, and looked at him. Butterflies fluttered, her stomach wrenched. SHe sighed, and turned, and didn't look back.
