Of the Stars in the Sky (Private RP)

Habibah looked up, her bright hair dancing with the movement of of her neck. Her eyes were tear filled and her usually bright emerald eyes seemed dull and empty. She recognized the bay instantly, her ears perking up slightly. "Stella..?" She walked slowly towards the mare, her hair dull and seemingly brittle. Her coat didn't shine the way it had before, and all spirit had long left her. "Hi there." She looked Stella up and down. She seemed to have been running for a while, Habibah wondered how long she'd traveled to get here and why she was even here. She snorted as some snow caught in her nostril. She was used to the heat, now she was freezing cold and wet. He knees shook as she shivered, trying to shake every flake off her coat as best she could. She licks her tail to rid it of the offended snowflake that caught in it, making a sharp whipping sound in the cold air.

Thunder was still fuming from his encounter with Rex. Big baby, getting his girlfriend to do his dirty work. You'd think he could get some guts and face me himself. he thought, his wounds no longer bleeding, but he had sticky blood in his coat. Feisty she was, lets just hope that her baby doesn't turn out like her. He cantered off in order to set out on what he came here for; to find Stella. He mumbled to himself, his mind filled with thoughts that he wouldn't dare to say aloud. He let his mind wonder, not caring about what he pasted. He didn't care about the tree that was filled with birds singing their songs, he didn't care about the small pond filled with frogs, he didn't care about the fiery maned horse, and he didn't care about the bay horse with the star in her tail the resembled Stella.

"Stella?" he exclaimed, skidding to a halt and almost tripping over his feet. "STELLA!" he repeated, approaching her with speed as he greeted his 'daughter'. He had found her, he had found Stella, and he had almost galloped straight past her. But who was the fiery maned horse? No, I.. it can't be. He looked around Stella, only to see Habibah. He accidentally let out a small growl which he immediately suppressed. He just gave her a small nod before returning his gaze back to Stella. "How have you been?" he asked her excitedly, kissing her on the forehead. He chuckled as the small snowflakes fell into her mane and stuck there, it made her look like she had little stars in her hair. "And where is Stellaerk?" he asked, more serious, as the thought of star covered horses danced through his mind. Has that low-life scumbag dragged Stella to this region, only to have run off and left her alone? He better not have!

The cool snow landing on his damaged body made him flinch, the melting snow dribbling into his open wounds. It pained him, but he fought it back, not wanting to ruin the reunion with Stella. Habibah, not so much. He hadn't talked to her since the break-up and he wasn't sure if she had moved on, by the expression on her face, he wasn't sure if it was safe to be here, with her around. "Habibah." he said, acknowledging her presence once again, making sure she didn't feel ignored. He shook his body, attempting to remove the cold snow from his coat, although the effort seemed to go unnoticed by the winter air.

Habibah just rolled her eyes at Stella. Such a child, just begging for attention from him and not making way for anyone else. "Nothing has happened. And he's not 'my precious Thunder' he's Thunder. End of story. Now get rid of the attitude." Her Arabic accent held strongly, coated with disgust at how jealous and childish Stella was being. Habibah smiled at Thunder, nodding at him. She kept shaking the snow off of her, she was getting used to this cold, but still wasn't a huge fan of it. She yawned, flicking her tail in the air once more. She walked to a nearby tree and layed down with a soft thud, cushioned by the soft snow.

Thunder was glad that the young mare was excited to see him. "I have missed you so much Stella." he exclaimed, his voice just as jittery as hers. When he mentioned Stellaerk, he was not at all shocked to find that she had left him. "Good, he was creepy and weird. Good for nothing, he was." He wanted to make sure that no one ever hurt Stella, that she was always safe and that everything would go back to the way it was between them. "And don't worry about it Stella, I found you didn't I?"

When she brought up Habibah, Thunder was quick to answer. "I ended it between us. Things just weren't right." He did not regret the decision that he made, to end the relationship. Everything was too rushed, and he had duties that he had to attend to. He could tell that Stella didn't like Habibah very much with the expression on her face and the rolling of the eyes.
Habibah was being very cold and rude to Stella, causing Thunder to get angry. "What the hell did you just say to her? I think you're the one with the attitude and you need to sort it out before I get really mad." his said, his voice rough and loud. Thunder followed Habibah, furious with her. "Get a hold of yourself, because I am not going to put up with this! Stella is like my daughter, we haven't seen each other in a while, let her have a little attention. You'll be getting none from me." he hissed through his teeth.

Thunder made his way back to Stella. "Just ignore her. Bit of a cold one." He said to her. "I'd say she is jealous of us." he whispered to her, chuckling.

"Oh I'm jealous?" She stood up. "You keep coddling her like a child, I doubt she could make a whole week on her own. She acts like a brat, she only wants you to herself, I personally don't give two shits whether or not you like me, but I think the only one who needs to get a hold of her self is that little bitch.." She walked up to Thunder and made a kick towards his flank, not caring if the hit landed or not, she just wanted to make sure he got the idea to fuck off. She walked away, snorting at how ignorant he was and how childish Stella is.

Habibah flicked around to Stella. "You heard me you freaking child, if you don't want to be treated like a baby don't act like one." She aimed a bite at Stella's shoulder, undaunted by the freaking sassy brat.

Thunder was once again fuming. How dare she talk about Stella that way. "You fucking think that what you are doing right now is a good idea, do you really? Because I am over it." he screamed at her. "She is not a child, she is my daughter" he yelled at her, meaning what he said, as that is what it felt like. "I am allowed to show her some love, to treat her how I do, because I am ALLOWED TO CARE!" he exclaimed loudly through his clenched teeth. He took a deep breath, trying to contain his anger but it was no use. He continued to scream at Habibah. Thunder dodged her pathetic attempt at a kick, stepping back so that it would get him.

Once he had managed to stop the screaming, he listened to what Stella had to say about Stellaerk. "He what..." he said, shocked. He now wanted to go and have a very serious 'talk' with this stallion. "And yeah, I'm fine Stella, she didn't get me." he said, although his other wounds were beginning to bleed again. Stella didn't mind that Stella wanted attention. He was just shocked when Stella took of in the other direction, back towards Habibah.

"Stella" he yelled, spinning his body to face the two mares yet again. Stella was suddenly furious, lashing out at Habibah. "Stella don't" he screamed, not wanting her to get injured. She wasn't much of a fighter, remembering the encounter with the lydes which seemed like months ago. He raced towards the two mares and tried to get in between them, but it was no use. Stella was relentless. "Stella, stop, she's not worth it. Please, stop. Listen to me!" he begged. When Habibah tried to bite her, Thunder screamed. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HER." He reared up, aiming his hooves for Habibah's back. He wasn't going to back down.

Habibah reared up to meet him, dodging his hooves and dropping her head down to butt him square in the head. "Oh fuck off, if you cared you'd open your eyes and see how spoiled she is. he's weak, and it's because she's hiding behind you and you're letting her. You don't want her to grow strong at all, you just want to coddle her. One day when you leave this Earth, she'll have no where to run, and she won't know what to do at all or how to fend for herself, because you're being a dumbass! She may need love, but she does not need this over protection, you're making her weaker, you're weighing her down!" Habibah's eyes started to tear up, remembering how her mother had been protective of her, after her death Habibah had to fend for herself and had no clue how, she had to teach herself or her only escape would be death. And now he was doing the same to Stella, and Stella was weak as fuck and too attached to Thunder.

Thunder returned his hooves to the ground and just stood there, his ears pinned back against his skull. "You have no idea what you are talking about alright, so shut your face. Stella is strong, how else would she have survived such a serious lyde attack. She almost died, but yet she was strong enough to stay alive. I ALMOST DIED!" he said calmly, before raising his voice for the last part. Regaining his cool, he continued. "Do you honestly think that I am going to care about the filth that comes out of your mouth, do you? Because I don't. Nobody wants to hear it alright. Stella, she is strong, she will become strong and she sure as hell would be fine on her own. I do not care if she is spoiled because she is still a good horse, better than you'll ever be. And yes, one day I will leave this earth, but Stella, she'll be able to fend for herself, she WILL be able to beat you at anything. You just stay the hell away from her or you'll have another thing coming. Do you understand me? DO YOU?" Thunder held himself tall while he spoke, letting his muscular, but battered body, tower over Habibah.

Sure, Stella wasn't the strongest mare around, but she had a kind heart, and always had the best intentions. Thunder knew that and that was all that mattered to him. He was infuriated by Habibah's cruel words. I'll train her, I'll make her strong, stronger than 'her' and then we'll see whose talking. Thunder thought this through a few times before coming to a final decision and he had decided that he would follow through. He would consult her about it once they were away from Habibah. He let his anger subside before even thinking about talking to Habibah again. He took a deep breath which seemed to go on forever. "Habibah, you've changed, for the worse. You seriously need to get a hold of yourself, because nobody around here is going to put up with someone who can't deal with their problems. Sort yourself out, and don't come near Stella, or me again." he said, his voice containing absolutely no emotion.

His returned his fiery eyes to Stella. He stepped forwards as if to push her back, to get her away from Habibah and keep the two, slightly emotional, mares apart. "Stella, I want you to stay away from her." he said sternly, looking down to her. He continued to walk, now at Stella's side. "Come on, we should leave." he said, his voice booming. What did I ever see in her, she's so.. crazy and unstable. He flicked his head back, his blonde mane swinging and falling back into its place. He locked his eyes on Habibah, giving her a harsh stare before moving them to Stella, telling her to pick up the pace.

Thunder just let her words slip right over his head. He didn't care anymore. "Listen Habibah, get a grip. Nobody is going to care about someone who can't sort out there problems and throw their anger upon someone who doesn't deserve it. You need to learn to control your anger, and your feelings because I am sick of it, and I am sure anybody else would be too." he said to her, turning his head back to face her. "Goodbye Habibah" he said, and then bring his head back to face the right way. "Tell me more about Stellaerk, and this 'kiss'" he began. He was furious at Stellaerk for being so forward with Stella and not giving her a say in what she wanted.

His train of thought was interpreted by movement in the darkening sky. The stars that were in their usual place in the sky were starting to move. How can this be? What could be causing this? He didn't say anything to Stella, so he wouldn't concern her, but he was sure that she would notice anyway. He tried to ignore it but he couldn't, he could still see it out of the corner of his eye. "What is that?" he whispered subconsciously. The stars were begin to spell something out. "S" Thunder began to say the letters that were forming in the night sky. "T" He looked at Stella with a confused look on his face.

He returned his gaze to the sky, only to find that they were not letters, it spelt out a word, a name. The name of his daughter. "Stella"

"You're the only one with out of control emotions, especially for that beggy whore." She walked off, her green eyes shining bright and a smirks playing across her face as the night set in. She walked to a nearby forest and settled down, looking up at the sky. As she saw the spelling she started laughing again and chanted out loud. "I whispered in her ear: you better fear him dear for he is death, and he'll take that shit you call life, in a single fucking breath." She looked out, and smiled in a creepy sweet way. "Oh He'll be coming."

Thunders eyes widened as he realised that it was Stellaerk. "That jerk is.." he began, but couldn't finish his sentence. He was too annoyed and angry. "How dare he!" he growled. He jumped up and began looking for the mysterious Stellaerk. "What is this guys problem? " he hissed, his orange eyes burning with rage.
Stellaerk was hiding behind some dense brush, only just able to see through to where Stella and Thunder were. He thought what he did was nice and kinda, but Stella seemed somewhat disgruntled, and Thunder, well he looked like he could kill. "Why are they suddenly so angry. I.. I thought Stella cared." he whimpered quietly, so not to disturb the two unhappy horses.

Thunder began to call out Stellaerk's name. "Stellaerk, Stellaerk, Show your face or when I find you, you'll be dead meat!" he yelled to the night sky. He turned to Stella, hoping that she wasn't going to get annoyed even more, or upset if this creep did show his face. "You'll be alright if he appears wont you?" he asked her, concerned and furious with the world it seemed.
Stellaerk was panicking, he knew that Thunder was tough and could easily hurt him, but he didn't want to come out of his hiding place now. He began to hyperventilate, he needed out of there. He burst through the brush, scaring away a lone bird perched in the tree, just getting settled for bed. He just skidded around the soggy ground, lifting up dirt and snow. He didn't want to get anywhere near the brute.

Thunder hastily approached the frightened horse. "What they hell do you think you are doing here?" Thunder boomed.
"Uh. Um. I.. ah, I c..came to see St..tella." he spluttered out, his voice jittery and panicked.
"What makes you think that she would want to see you, you freakin' creep!"
"I uh, I.. I don't know. I just, uh, wanted to see her." he said, the words spilling out of his mouth like water. He stopped running around like a maniac and began to back up, away from Thunder was was still walking towards him.
"You stay the hell away from her. I do not want to see you near her, and I sure don't want to see anymore of this 'star' stuff dedicated to her, do you understand me Stellaerk?" he hissed at the shying stallion.
"Ah, ye..es sir" he said, his gaze shifting to Stella for the slightest moment.

Thunder stopped walking forwards, looking at Stella who was still standing frustrated on the snowy ground. "Do you want to say anything to this creep Stella?" he asked her, putting emphasis on the word creep.

A pair of glowing purple eyes watched the lot, not being hidden, but not very easy to see either. Innokenti's black coat made for great camouflage. He smiled wide, his sharp white teeth glistening in the moon's light. He walked out from the trees, and stood between the two stallions, his two tails twirling with amusement. "My, my, myyyyy! And what would be going on here~? Tsk, tsk, looks like you two boys are fighting over that little mare over there, eeyup, eeyup, that's what it looks like~! That's no good, no good at all! Oh my, my!" His voice was amused and sounded eerily cheery, he tossed his head back and forth as he spoke, his white crocodile skull catching the light, with marks around it's eye sockets that looks to be made of some strange paint... Or blood. He patted them both on the head with each tail. "There there no fighting!" He started laughing as if someone had just made a hilarious joke, his voice echoing throughout the area.

Innokenti looked over at the mare and smiled brighter. "Oh hello there sweety! I see you've come to join us~!" "Who are you?" He laughed a little more. "Who am I? I am me! And you are you! We are we, they are they! We are all ourselves I believe~!" He leaned in close to her and lowered his voice. "Or are you not you and you are actually someone else who is them self who is pretending to be you?" He leaned away and nudged her neck playfully and laughed again. "I'm just fooling with you sweety!" He turned back to the stallions, his powerful muscles rippling slightly under his midnight coat as he walked. "Why ya two fightin'~? It's a perfectly nice starry night after a perfectly lovely day!" He threw his head up in a cocky way and chuckled darkly. "Or has there been some not-so-perfecting happenings around here?"

The stallion turned his attention back to the young bay. "Curious little doll, aren't we dear Constellarus?" He purred out the words, rolling his 'r' just so and going of the 'l's with a silky tone. The black warmblood bowed on one knee to her then raised up again. "I, my sweet doll, am Innokenti." He walked back to her, the moon reflecting slightly off the purple scales on his shoulder. "Although my point still stands even with my name out and about traveling your ears right now m'dear, I am still me, and you are still you, and they are still them!" He flicked his tails in the direction of the two other stallions. "We are simply we, that is that. Names are just letters on strings put together to form a word given to a specific being, but even after the 'name' is given, I am still me, am I not?" He looked himself over, as if to check that he was indeed still him. "Eeyup, eeyup, I am still me!"

Thunders eyes were beginning to droop. He was becoming sleepy and wanted to lay down to rest for the night. He just watched as Stella walked away from him to go and talk privately with the jerk whom called himself Stellaerk. Oh, how he wanted to kicked the kid in the chest. Stellaerk isn't going to come back. The words that came from her mouth pleased him. Nobody was to put a hoof on Stella without him knowing about it, and being okay with it. When she mentioned bed, his eyes almost immediately shut. "Yes, bed" he mumbled as he lay himself down on the cold ground, trying to make himself comfortable.

But he was going to have to be deprived of sleep for a little longer. The sound on an unfamiliar voice startled him. He reluctantly opened his eyes only to see one of the strangest horses he had ever seen before. He stood up, his legs weakening with the lack of sleep. "And what is it to you? You don't know what this idiot did to her." he said, motioning towards Stellaerk who was still standing to the side, a stunned, upset look on his face. Stellaerk immediately turned away and walked off. He'd try talking to Stella later, when the brute wasn't around. Thunder looked the creepy horse over. The thing that shocked him the most were the two tails that swung around behind the stranger. The crocodile skull was just as strange. How did it even get there? was all that Thunder could think, after all, it certainly wasn't natural. "So, you are Innokenti, where are you from?" he asked curiously, never before had he seen such a strange horse. "And you may call me Thunder, and I would like to hear your story."

He watched Stella cautiously, as she was obviously intrigued by him. The newcomer was confusing him with his strange speech pattern, with the repeating of words and phrases. "Stella" he said quietly, just warning her, telling her to be careful around this horse. Nobody knew what he was like. Had he talked to Rex yet? Had Rex had an encounter with the odd creature that stood before him.

"Oh it's nothing to me my boy! I was just curious as to why everybody was in such a state! No need to get your tails twisted, oh wait, you have one tail.... Well my point still stands!" Inno pranced over to Thunder with a Cheshire smile. "I come from Russia, cold place it is!" He shivered in a dramatic way to make his point. "My story's a long one. Loonnnng lonnnnggg loooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg. But if you'd really like to know, here's a brief: Scientists were looking for new things to test on, that new thing became me, now I have two tales, a skull on my head, and scales, not to mention various parts of me have become purple. After uh.... 'running away' without any 'complaints from them' I came here. And now I saw you two boys in a fight with this beautiful lady and was quite curious." He turned back to Stella and gave another little bow. "M'lady" His tone was charming and sweet, as if apologetic to her.
