Alex //: New Start

[Twilit]

Alex sighed. She pulled her knees in to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and resting her chin on her knees. She stared out at the waves lapping the shore, realizing that that was what her life had become after Jester left-just dull repetition, day after day. The sand was still slightly warm, and she knew that most of it was going to be stuck in the pleated plaid skirt she wore over her normal skinny jeans that day. "Where'd you go? I miss you so..." she sang softly to herself, like she had every day since Jester had disappeared. Her one hand dropped from around her legs and trailed on the sand, drawing random patterns. The sound of the waves was the only noise she could hear, and for that, she was glad. The only other sound she really wanted to hear was Jester's voice. She had dropped her things off long ago at the boarding school she was at for her senior year, figuring that she'd fix up her dorm room later-she was definitely going to need help. Alex planned on putting up wallpaper, and painting. She dropped the thought quickly and let her mind blank out and wander, returning to the same thoughts she always had.

Hanna walked down the beach with Lohnro at her side. The 17.2 hand black stallion had no tack or a halter on him showing he was truely walking with her at will. Hanna's golden eyes looked at the stud and she stopped. At the same time Lohnro had dipped his head and stopped and watched her take a few steps back and he fallowed before resting his chin on her shoulder and nickering quietly. She placed her hand on his muzzle and he pawed at the ground and gave her a push forward. She started to walk and fallowed, his head hung at her height unitl she stopped near the edge of the water.

Lohnro put his hoof in the salty and cool water before he began to paw and covered Hanna with water... "Thanks." She replied with a smiled and put a piece of her wet black hair behind her ear. She couldn't see anyone around today and it was a little odd. She had heard there were 2 new people in town and was curious to meet them, but if she couldn't see them, she wasn't going to try to find them. She looked over at Lohnro as he laid down next to her and rolled in the warm sand before he laid on his side and set his head on her lap. She stroked his face and neck slowly and soothingly before he started to close his eyes relaxed beyond beleif.

Having heard that the beach was a good place for a ride, Jester naturally headed there, riding Joker as usaul.The horse pranced in place as Jester held him back, mentally counting down.With a small cluck, he released the stallion, letting him fly down the beach with Jester crouched over in the saddle.The horse galloped down the beach, then Jester suddenly realised there was a girl in front of them, too close to stop.With a muttered curse, Jester closed his eyes and tensed, waiting for the crash.Instead of feeling it,however, he felt Jokers muscles tense, and then they were flying over the girl.

Jester reined Joker in easily, circling him around to check if the girl was alright."Easy boy" He mrumered."Woah!" He yelled as Joker reared into the air.The stallion pranced in place as Jester carefully let him approach the girl.Then he gasped as he reconised her."Alex" He said, grinning happily and dismounting Joker.He lead the stallion over, holding his reins."How did you get here?" He smiled at her, glad to see her again."This is Joker,by the way" He said, stroking the stallion.Joker stepped forward, then nuzzled her shoulder.

Notes- welcome to way view,Twilit ^.^ What better than a reunion?

[Twilit]

Alex flinched and turned her head in towards her face so she wouldn't have to watch her death. She felt the wind woosh past her-but felt no pain. When he heard a voice, Alex looked up for a moment, her face blank. It took her a second to recognize him, but when she did, the reaction was amazing. "Jester!" she screamed, scrambling up from the sand. Throwing herself at him she hugged him tightly, the sweet relief of reunion coursing through her. "I had to come find you, I had to..." she trailed off, preferring the silence that she had heard for so long now. She pulled back, only to see the horse. "Joker and Jester..." She laughed, and it felt good. Really good. She hadn't laughed in so long, not since before he had left. Her eyes sparkled with her normal happiness, and her small body no longer felt heavy with sadness-she felt like she was floating on a cloud.

OOC: I know! XD

[bruiser147]

Jester hugged her back tightly."I missed you too" He said, smiling slightly, his eyes glowing happily at the sight of his 'sister'. He joined into her laughter. "Yeah, I laughed too when I realised how close ours names were" He said, grinning, as he gently pushed a lock of her hair out of her face.Something-shock perhaps? Or maybe regret- flashed through his eyes,barely visiable it was gone so fast, as he allowed his hand to drop back to his side.Joker nudged aganst him, snorting.

Alessa watched her brother and the two two-leggeds.Why did'nt he try to escape? Did he actually like being with the humans?

[[Just so you know, the info at the end isnt needed. You can still do it, if you want, but its not required. -Nicky]]

[Twilit]

"I see you haven't changed much. Then again, neither have I," she said, laughing slightly. A small flash of pain flickered in the back of her eyes for just a moment. She considered telling Jester about how badly her life had gone awry after he had left, but she decided against it. Not one part of her wanted to ruin this happy moment-okay, so maybe a small part of her. But nothing strong enough that she couldn't internally squash it, covering it with a wide smile. Her hand reached up to stroke the horse's muzzle her eyes wide with wonder. "I hadn't pegged you as a horse person," she said amusedly.

[bruiser147]

Jester chuckled, his eyes dancing. "I've always liked them, but any mention of them and my dad..." His voice trailed off as he remembered the beatings his father had inflicted on him."So I kept quiet" He grinned and mounted Joker, then held his hand out to Alex. "Come for a ride,I'll show you the stables if you want" He said, grinning. Currently his stock consisted of four AQHs and Joker, but that was enough for now.

Alessa snorted as her brother allowed the human to sit upon him.How could he?! He should be bucking and rearing right now!

ooc; too lazy to do the info XD

[Twilit]

Alex sighed, pretending to have to think about it. "Okay!" she chirpped. She scrambled up onto Joker behind Jester, winding her arms around him. "March!" she exclaimed, laughing happily. Her eyes danced, and if she hadn't been sitting on a horse, she probably would have started dancing. Energy flowed through her, more energy then she had had in quite a while. If her parents could see her now, they'd be shocked. At that thought, she laughed again, although it was a slightly sad laugh-she hoped that she'd never have to return to that kind of life again.

[bruiser147]

Jester grinned and urged Joker into a canter. "Hold on tight" He warned, grasping the horses mane and moving naturally with the rhythem of the gate."Joker has a tendancy to suddenly burst into a gallop" As if hearing his owner, Joker lengthened his stride and began to gallop towards home

oc;We'll continue this at Jesters farm XD

[Twilit]

"Alright!" she said, her eyes wide with both exhilaration and fear. As Joker broke into a gallop, she laughed with the pure pleasure of riding a horse again-she hadn't since she was very very young. She felt like she was flying, like she really was up in the sky. Although now, she wasn't alone-Jester was back. Back. The word echoed in her head, and everything finally sunk in. Everything could go back to normal. They could live here, and be happy, put the past behind them, start over. Finally.
