Owen and Bloodstone arrived on the scene an as one they sat back on their haunches and slid to a stop ((haha, they'd be great for reining XD)). They felt the same suprise at seeing Apocalypse like he was, surrounded by darkness and chuckling almost like an insane person. Bloodstone and Owen exchanged glances, and then just stayed out of the way for Apocalypse to have his fun with the vampire, though both were tense and ready to step in should he need help.

Owen's ears were pinned and lips curled in a snarl wth her eyes locked on the vampire. Bloodstone stood beside her, his ears pinned as well, snorting and pawing the ground with his neck arched and body collected, his tail whipping back and forth savagely as he endlessly transitioned back and forth fro pawing to prancing in place and back again.

Apocalypse smiled as the werewolf got up, as he did Apocalypse lunged, in moments he was behind the vampire, its head under his paws, its blood over his fur, the headless body remained standing for a moment, then collapsed in on it self as darkness swarmed over it.

((lol, you put werewolf at first when you meant vampire. XD))

Owen and Bloodstone both relaxed when Apocalypse killed the vampire, but they were still worried about Apocalypse. Bloodstone gave a deep, low nicker and just touched her shoulder with his muzzle, keeping his eyes on Apocalypse.

(9Gha))

Apocalypse looked at them then started to trot off again, his tail low over the ground, his jaw still bloody and hanning limp, but shadows now moving over it and his skin could be seen regrowing, muscles rewarppiung themselves

Owen met Bloodstone's eyes, the look of sadness in hers mirrored in his. They simultaneously trotted off after Apocalypse. When Owen caught up beside him she licked his cheek. "Are you alright?" Bloodstone just trotted on the other side of Owen and looked at Apocalypse worriedly.

Apocalypse glanced at her, then at the horse, he let out a small growl directed at the horse. "Keep your new pet away from me" He muttered and quickened his pace

At that Bloodstone pinned his ears and snorted angrily. "I am not her pet." Owen was somewhat angry at that as well, but was caught completely off guard and stopped dead in her tracks when Bloodstone spoke. Bloodstone stopped a few strides ahead of her and turned to face her. He bowed his head slightly and looked up at her with a somewhat guilty expression. "Yes, I can speak. And yes you are right, I am not a normal horse."

Apocalypse ignored the horse, and at that Owen. He was sad, and hurt that she had chosen some horse over him, but it was her choice, not his, and as far as he was conserned the horse was prey, and always will be

Owen tited her head, but ccepted the information and just nodded once then loped to catch up to Apocaypse.

Bloodstone somehow understood everything she meant in that one nod and followed after the two at a bit of a distance with a sigh. He'd never told anyone his story, and yet he felt obligated to tell this huge wolf, and she knew it.

Apocalypse glanced at Owen as his jaw moved back into placed with a snap. He didn't know what too do, she had left him for some animal, but still he loved her.

Owen didn't have to look behind her to know that the stallion was following. She glanced over at Apocalypse then sighed. She didn't understand why he didn't like the stallion so much.

Bloodstone followed the wolves in silence. 'That male doesn't like me... Does he want to eat me, but not make his mate mad? Does my presence threaten him because I am not of this world? Or.......no that would be rediculous. But I guess it isn't impossible...maybe he feels like his mate has chosen me over him? Maybe I threaten him because I have some deep intimate connection to his mate that probably neither the female wolf nor I can explain?' Bloodstone just stared at the male wolf with a thoughtful look on his face as he thought to himself.

Apocalypse looked at Owen, his eyes were expressionless, his face was covered in blood, both his own, and that of the vampire so it hid his features. The liquid darkness pulsed over his fur, still working on his jaw, which was almost fully healed now

Owen sighed, her gaze focused on the forest in front of them, keeping her thoughts to herself. Her eyes and features were expressionless.

Bloodstone could sense the female's sadness and confusion and so he let out a gentle nicker to her.

Owen glanced back at the stallion over her shoulder, understanding perfectly what the nicker meant and within a sigh simply said "If you say so."

Though there was no emotion in her voice, Bloodstone knew that she didn't believe him, yet hoped he was right at the same time.

Apocalypse looked away from Owen and bounded off. His darkness propelling him forward. His ears where back in anger and sadness, his tail was stiff. HE ad run so he wouldn't have attacked the horse Owen so loved

Owen looked after Apocalypse in confusion and was about to run after him until she heard Bloodstone. "Don't. Let him figure it out, and when he's ready, he'll come to you." Owen came to a halt and stared off after Apocalypse, a low whine emitting from her throat.

Bloodstone trotted up beside her and followed her gaze, then let out a sigh. "I think he might be thinking that you chose me over him." he told her as he shook his head. "I'm sorry for having caused you such sorrow."

Owen bowed her head. "Don't be. It's not your fault."
