Perhaps Sloane’s view on the world was a little darker than most. Perhaps if she had been shown an ounce of love or affection when she was but a foal, perhaps she might have turned out a little better. She may have developed a slightly less rough personality or less of a hatred of others. But that was not the life Sloane had been given. She had seen all the darkness of the world and it was too difficult for her to see anything else. It was almost as though her life had built up walls to protect her and now, she was unable to break them back down again.
The tiger that slinked form the shadows did nothing but capture the slit pupils of Sloane. She had heard the rustle, felt the eyes upon her pelt. She knew she was being watched, that the two of them were not completely alone. Sloane has seen relationships like this before, where animals remain friends, with their equine counterparts, where the relationship goes far deeper than friendship. Bondeds they call them. It was something Sloane did not have, nor was she certain that she really wanted that sort of relationship. After all, she enjoyed being a lone from time to time and with a bonded, she would never be alone.
As she continues, saying that they could all use a helping hand, Sloane nearly scoffs at the idea. She hadn’t needed a helping hand since the moment she broke free from her mother. She was never given help or helping hands. She wouldn’t know what to do with one even if it slapped her in the face. See exhibit A. “Perhaps you need helping hand from time to time, but I don’t.” She had never been in a situation where she really needed help. God. If she ever was, she was sure that she would choose death over help. She could not show weakness like that.
As the pair slip into the forest, the thick underbrush swallowing them whole, Sloane sighs. She takes another long sip at the pool before she turns in the opposite direction and continues on her hunt, the hunt for something far greater than she even realizes. Perhaps it wasn’t a relic that she sought. Perhaps it was something far darker.
ooc: <3 Sorry she is a little bitch.
