Olive

Olive would trot towards the grazing medows with her mother beside her and her father way behind keeping a eye on any mares that fell behind, "Mom do you smell that ...it smells like a coyote" Olive said as she smelled the air towards the grazing medows, her mother would stop "I do smell it Olive but it is very faint like they left ages ago" Orchid her mother would say, as they kept trotting towards the medow a small canine shape appered in the grass it looked like a coyote but why was it alone Olive wondered as she watched the coyote dart off into the hidden brush, it looked like a pup but Olive could not be sure as she had hardly ever seen a coyote before in there herd territory, she had seen a wolf once and she would never forget the sound of that wolf as it yelped in pain as Reno her father kicked it away from the herd.

Jake

Jake would run off hearing the sounds of hoofbeats he was terrfied, where was his mother the one that said she would protect him from any threats "Mom where are you ..i'm terrified please come back" Jake said as he whimpered in the bushes, he didn't dare poke his head out for fear of being kicked by the hooves of what his mother called horses, he tried to call for his mother but it was no use she would never come back for him he was a runt at least that's what his siblings had called him and Risgan his father, "MOM ..MOM...PLEASE COME BACK" he howled from the bush, he then suddenly froze as hoofbeats started to come towards him he heard the sound of leaves being chewed but he didn't dare look out for fear of being attacked by a horse.

Olive would walk over to a bush she had eaten the leaves before so she knew they were safe to eat, she lowered her head to eat some of the leaves she then raised her head hearing some howling coming from the bush she was eating, she tried to locate the source of the howl it was only when she looked in the bush did she see fur that looked like a coyote, "your nothing but a pup...why are you all alone out here aren't you suppose to be with other coyotes" Olive said to the pup that was hiding in the bush, she knew it was terrified but she was trying her best to not look so terrifying to the young pup who must have thought she was big and scary, she would lay down near the bush trying to be at eye level with the pup.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Jake would raise his head this horse didn't seem so scary was his mother wrong about horses being mean he thought, as he slowly exited the bush to investigate the horse that layed down just beside the bush, "my mother and pack left me ..behind I thought my mom would come back for me but now I know she never will" Jake said answering the horse well he started to whimper missing his mother, "I miss my mom so much why did she leave me" Jake said well he continued to whimper in longing for his mother, he looked up at the horse she wasn't afraid of him even though she knew he was a coyote a predator, "My mother called me Jake I guess you can too what's your name umm horse" he said rather nervously afraid the horse might attack him at any minute if they got the chance.

Olive would snort at the pup "My parents call me Olive I guess you can too" Olive said as she calmly nibbled at some grass by her hooves, "I am so sorry your mother left you if you want I can stay with you my herd lives really close to here were in the painted hills" Olive would say to Jake, she knew the pup needed protection and food but she could not give him food as she only ate plants not meat, but she could protect him her long legs gave her plenty of reach to kick any predator that dared to get too close to her or anyone she was protecting from harm, she waited patiently for Jake to say something as she continued to graze on the grass beside her, she spat out a clump of grass as she tasted a foul tasting bug in her mouth "Yuck..why do bugs like this grass can't they find something else to eat" Olive would say as she tried to rid her mouth of the foul taste.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Jake would look up at Olive amusement danced in his eyes "how do you think the bug was feeling being inside your mouth" Jake said as he gave a hesitant wag of his tail, "I would love for you to stay with me Olive are you sure your herd won't mind though" Jake said as he got to his paws and looked around for any members of Olive's herd, but he didn't see any it seemed they were alone for now which gave him some comfort as he didn't like to be surrounded by strange horses even if they were Olive's family and herd, he had seen what a horse could do to a predator first paw and he knew well enough to stay away from there kicking hooves, but Olive seemed nice and kind he could tell that Olive wasn't really like her herdmates she didn't see things from one point of view.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Olive would look down at Jake as she got to her hooves, "I'm pretty much old enough to be on my own Jake the only reason I stay with the herd is because they are my family they don't really care what I do anyways" Olive said well she raised her head making sure that her and Jake were truely safe for now, she knew that if she was to stay with Jake she would need to protect him from any predator that might see a young coyote pup as a tasty meal, she wasn't sure why but she felt some connection to Jake like they had met sometime before maybe when they were both fairly young, but she brushed that thought aside as it was impossible this was the first time she had ever seen a coyote like Jake, her herd often dealt with wolves which were bigger members of the canine family, it was nearly impossible to see a coyote up in the hills as they liked to be close to water and there prey.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Jake would look up at Olive she was actually pretty tall in comparison to him, he could not help but look at her coat it was so pretty unlike his which was just average and not special at all, but he didn't really mind his fur it served the purpose of keeping him warm in the colder seasons and protecting him from some of the biting insects, "So your like a adult then that's cool" Jake said well he tilted his head his ears hearing the snapping of a branch in the distance, "You think were being watched by something Olive I just heard a branch snap like something stepped on it" Jake said as he ran underneath Olive's body inbetween her front legs, his eyes showed a lot of white whatever it was that was stalking them was pretty big.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Olive would hear the branch snap she was glad that Jake had darted underneath her but in the same token it would be hard to attack with him there if it was a big predator, "Jake stay in the bush do not come out until I say it is clear" Olive said as she walked towards where the branch snapped she reared up as a big wolf came running towards her, it started to growl at her and circle her as if trying to find a weak spot but Olive was not going to go down easily, she braced herself for the wolf to leap at her with it's deadly teeth biting down on her neck or legs, but then a unexpected arrival changed the scene between her and the growling and circling wolf, a old stallion seemed to come out of nowhere his coat was the colour of a pinecone and was covered in many bite wounds with a large piece of his mane completly missing, he faced the wolf with his deadly hooves poised to kill if he needed too, Olive was unsure what to do this stallion seemed focused on the wolf not her who was the wolf's main target, "Get out of here now mare I will deal with old snarlface here" the stallion said to her as he faced the wolf.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Jake would run to the bush where he first met Olive, he didn't know if Olive would be strong enough to fight off a big predator like a wolf by herself as they were very strong, but he was more worried about being left alone without anyone to care for him again, already his mother had left him because he was a runt and would never be as strong as his siblings, but Olive was a whole diffrent kind of parent she cared about him and was willing to protect him from danger even if he was a coyote, he looked up seeing a stupid little bird that didn't see him in the bush, he took advantage of the bird and swiftly killed it and ate the meat with a terrible hunger, he knew that Olive could never hunt or provide food for him so he would have to catch and eat his own food, but at least Olive would protect him she was a lot like his mother but not like her because she didn't leave him to the mercy of the elements to either live or die alone.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Olive would look at the old stallion and then back at the wolf, she was torn between running back to Jake or helping this stallion fight this wolf who seemed very hungry like they hadn't eaten in days, she looked at the stallion he seemed very strong and probaly didn't need her help, so she trotted back to join Jake who seemed glad to see her safe and sound, "It was a wolf but I doubt it will come after us a stallion seems to be living here" Olive said as she told Jake that he could leave the safety of the bush, she looked at his jaws they were covered in blood and feathers meaning he likely had killed and ate something.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Jake would come out of the bush happy to see Olive "who is that stallion have you ever seen him before near the painted hills Olive" Jake would ask the beautiful mare who had such a unique coat, "No I have never seen him before I doubt my father has either" Olive said as she shook her head and mane, well Jake tried his best to snap at some flies that seemed to really be bugging Olive, "stupid flies sometimes I wish they didn't have to be so annoying you know what my family used to call coyotes who ate fly infested meat, they were called rot eaters they said it was better left to the vultures" Jake said as he continued to snap at any fly that got close to him or Olive, the mare seemed amused although Jake could not figure out why was it because he had said his family refused to eat rotting carcasses or was it just the way he was snapping at the flies that landed on them both.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Olive would look down at Jake "I'm amused because your a scavanger you eat any carcass you can find your pack was probaly lying about where the meat comes from" Olive said as she nibbled on some leaves on the bush, she could not help but imagine what Jake's family was probaly doing without him, the poor pup was left to fend for himself with no help from any pack members, she knew that her herd was likely to do the same but she had never seen that in the painted hills herd her herd was very caring even with the younger foals who were not very strong, "We should probaly head up high as the night time is likely to come any time" Olive said as she helped Jake climb to a higher elevation where the predators were fewer and less likely to attack them she could see that the sun was starting to set in the sky and it would soon get dark.

[Canadian Sunfeather]

Jake would laydown in a thick bush not far from Olive who was starting to sleep nearby, he could not help but repeat what Olive had said "Your a scavanger you take advantage of any carcass you can find" he said trying very hard not to think about it, although it was likely true as most of his pack hardly ever went hunting as it was a big waste of energy when it was far easier to take advantage of something already dead, he looked at Olive the young mare would eventually have her own life just as he would, but that was at least a couple of years off they were both still very young and still exploring there world, he could not help but let out a little howl which Olive thankfully didn't hear, but a small pack of coyotes did as they answered his howl but they seemed far away enough to not cause them any harm at least for tonight.
