Sasha:

"Thanks." She said with a smile

Emerald,

she whinnied softly, lightly kicking the door of her stall, wanting freedom, or someone to love her.

Leo,

"Well, now's your chance," he said with a smile.

Sasha:

"Yeah I want a horse. I've always wanted one but I've never had a chance." She said

Leo,

"I honestly don't know," he said, looking over at her, "but I do know that you want one," he said with a smile.

Sasha:

"Do you want a horse too?"

Leo,

"Yeah?"

Sasha:

"So I have a question."

Sasha:

She started walking toward the horse barn

Leo,

He smiled, "alrighty!"

Sasha:

"Ok, lets go!"

Leo,

"There's the horse barn that's a bit away from the Kihlari barn, they most likely have some horses up for sale there," he replied.

(Question, do you want me to make the horse, or do you want to,)

Sasha:

"So were should we look for horses?" She asked

Leo,

"Definitely," he replied.

Sasha:

"Felix is lucky to have a horse like Kokomo."

Leo,

"Good to know," he said with a smile.

Sasha:

"By the way, I'm not angry at you anymore."

Leo,

He took the hand and stood up, "thanks," he said.

Sasha:

She stood up and held out her unhurt hand to help Leo up

Leo,

He grinned, "Alright," he said,

Sasha:

"We could go meet some horses I guess." She said

Leo,

"But I do," he said gently, "Don't worry you won't be in debt to me or anything like that,"

Sasha:

"I don't have any money to buy a horse." She said

Leo,

"Want to go looking for a horse to buy?" He asked, "I know that you love them A LOT,"

Sasha:

"What?" She said

Leo,

He looked into her eyes, "want to go looking for horses?" He asked, "I know how much you love them,"

Sasha:

"I wish I owned a horse." She said, "Sorry I know that's random."

Leo,

"And I'm glad they didn't kill you," he said softly.

Sasha:

"I'm glad the Hawktails didn't kill you." She said

Sasha:

She checked on her arm to makesure it wasn't bleeding

(Bai!)

Leo,

He finished up his apple, then laid back watching the sky overhead.

Looking overcat Sasha every once in a while.

Sasha:

She sat down with her back against a tree (Now I gtg for the night, bye!)

Leo,

He took a few more bites of apple.

Sasha:

She took out the apple and looked at it

Leo,

"Alright," he said, sitting down on the grass.

Sasha:

"Oh, I didn't even notice I did that. Its just a habit I guess." She said

Leo,

"I saw you slip that apple into your pocket," he replied.

Sasha:

"What?" She asked

Leo,

"Not hungry?" He asked.

Sasha:

She put the apple in her pocket

Leo,

"Of course," he said walking over to her.

Sasha:

She caught the apple, "Thanks!"

Leo,

He headed outside with Sasha, grabbing an apple for himself and one for Sasha,

"Here you go Sasha," he said kindly tossing the apple over to her.

He took a bite out of his apple.

Sasha:

She nodded

Leo,

He nodded, "but first, let's grab an apple to eat," he said feeling like the walls of the barn were going to cave in on him.

Sasha:

"We need a plan for how to deal with the Hawktails."

Leo,

He gave Sasha a kind smile.

Sasha:

She shruuged, not really believing him. Her whole life she was told that being scared was a weakness, it was hard to not believe that it wasn't a weakness

Leo,

"But it isn't a weakness," he said softly, looking her dead in the eyes as he said it.

Sasha:

"Me too." she often struggled to remember that what she was taught her whole life was wrong

Leo,

"I was taught that my whole life, 'fear is a weakness sadness is a weakness, even Love is a weakness,' I was raised with that my whole life, even now I struggle to remember its not true,"

Sasha:

She looked unconvinced, "Thats not what I was told, 'fear is a weakness and weaknesses are bad'."

Leo,

"Its isn't bad!' He said turning her gently to look her straight in the eyes, "its normal to be scared,"

Sasha:

"I thought being scared was bad."

Leo,

He put an arm around her shoulders in a one armed hug, "It's alright to be scared," he said gently. "We'll figure out sometjing, alright,"

Sasha:

"I-I'm scared." She said softly

Leo,

He looked over at Sasha, "We'll figure out something, we always will,"

Sasha:

"I know......"

Leo,

He smiled at Tuli, "me neither, they are very unlike the Night Chasers, they work together, feed each other ideas, and use them,"

Sasha:

"I don't know what we can do to get rid of the Hawktails." She said before laughing softly as she remembered the angry look on Hazel's face

Leo,

"Of course," he replied withca small smile.

Sasha:

She looked up at Leo, "Thanks."

Leo,

"It's going to be alright Sasha," he said gently, "I'm here for you, no matter what."

Sasha:

"I know we're family by blood, but I haven't talked to her in a long time." She said

Leo,

"I'm not certain either," he said softly.

Sasha:

"I don't know if I trust Dia." She said

Leo,

"I'm just glad your safe," he said gently. Gently setting a hand one one of her arms that she was resting her head.

Sasha:

"I was concerned that Hazel would figure out my plan." She said

Leo,

He sighed softly, "I'm just glad you're alright, I was so scared thst you would get killed back and Dakur,"

Sasha:

"And you think I could!?! I couldn't live with myself if you died because you were trying to keep me safe!"

Leo,

"Sasha," he said gently, "O didn't want you do die because of me, I just couldn't live with myself if sometjing happened to you..."

Sasha:

She shook her head without looking up, "I was so scared that you would die." She said, her voice breaking

Leo,

"B-because I wanted to protect you," he said gently, "I didn't want to see you hurt because of me,"

Sasha:

She rested her head in her hands, blinking back tears. "Why did you leave?" She asked

Leo,

He removed his hand from her shoulder and let it rest at his side.

Sasha:

She flinched

Leo,

"Sasha, it's alright," he said standing up. And gently setting a hand om her shoulder.

Sasha:

"I'm sorry for not trusting you, I'm sorry for what I said earlier." She said, looking at the ground

Leo,

"Wjat are you apologizing for?" He asked finally looking up, straight into Sasha's eyes, with his slightly watery bright green eyes, "there's nothing to be sorry for."

Sasha:

"I'm sorry." She said

Leo,

"Sasha, you got Lex on your side in your own!" He said, "and Bri was always in your side," "anyways you're good at persuading people, I know that front experience,c he said with a small laugh, still looking down.

Sasha:

"Leo, I wouldn't have had the chance to get them to be on my side if you hadn't been here." She said. She shuddered, memories attacking her

Leo,

"Even if they did, Bri was already in your side, and yiu got Lex to help you," he said sighing.

Sasha:

"The Night Chasers would have come after me anyways, I messed up their missions, and if you weren't here. Tuli and I would have died."

Leo,

"First the Night Chasers, then the Halktails," he sighed, "if I didn't leave they would of never of came after me, which in turn would be after yiu also..."

Sasha:

"That's where you're wrong, I made this mess, trouble would have come anyways. Leo, trouble has a way of finding me no matter what." She said

Leo,

"Seriously, You girls would of never gotten into this mess if I didn't come," he said with a heavy sigh, still not looking up

Sasha:

"Don't say that!" She said

Leo,

He sighed softly, "I should've never come back," he mumbled softly.

Dia:

She left the barn and went on a walk through the forest.

Sasha:

She didn't look at Leo

Leo,

"Alright," he said, not looking up,

(I'm back for a little while!)

Sasha:

"I can't either."

Dia:

"I'm going on a walk to see if I can find somewhere to hide you guys."

Leo,

"I think of any rigjt now," he said with a sigh, resting his head in his hands.

(I gtg for the night)

Dia:

"Do we have any other ideas?"

Leo,

'Alright," he said.

Sasha:

"Let's just try to make a plan." She said, annoyed

Leo,

"That is true," he said.

Sasha:

"yeah but Dia would have helped them carry it out."

Dia:

"I stopped them from killing him right away so that you would have time to get him safe." She said
