The mare lingered at the tree line, her ears pricked. Her eyes were glazed with worry, and her tail was clamped close to her rump.
/They'll be home soon,/ She told herself over and over. She didn't believe herself though.
'Ailey, please, try and rest. You haven't slept since your father left,' Her mother encouraged her.
Ailey's gaze remained locked on the trees in the distance. She laid her ears back slightly, as a small breeze blew her creamy blonde mane. Her eyes widened as she heard a whisper carried along on the wind. She couldn't make out what it said. But as soon as the breeze had started, it stopped, leaving Ailey standing in the trees alone once more.
