Every part of her body ached and she felt like falling over but the thought of being fed, and sleeping in a warm stall, and a groom running a soft brush over her body make her walk on. The sun beat on her back and she stumbled on a rock. How could she be so dumb, falling for Strider like that, of course he had a mate, and she was much prettier then herself. Tears welled up in Jessica's eyes as the cavalry base came into view. Some men were gathering up some lose horses but she didn't notice. Her heart was broken and she felt it could never be fixed.
