Guest of Honor

Zee slowly walked up to the forest, overly exhausted and feeling like he was going to collapse any second now. He checked back to make sure Pepper was following. She came up right behind him. They had spent lots of time grazing, so she wasn't quite as skinny, but her body still has scars dashed all over it and her 'Double S' brand was still infected.

"I'm coming," she assured, and walked up to follow him. She saw the herdland and the horses and gasped. "I-is-is this it?" she stammered, overwhelmed by emotion. She looked at them.

"Mhm," Zee said. He walked further in. "Hello, all! We've come from far away so Pepper could rejoin the herd," he announced, "but I'm extremely exhausted so if you could excuse me to a nap that'd be great," he explained and fell to the ground. He fell asleep the minute he closed his eyes.

Pepper giggled. "Hi!" she said, and looked at all the foreign faces. Suddenly her aching limbs didn't bother here, and she wasn't thinking about her bloody past. She was simply happy and carefree that very moment of her life.

[n y l a !?]

River looked up at the older, scraped up version of Pepper.

"Pepper? Is that really you?"

"Who are you?" asked Pepper, searching her face for something she'd remember.

"River. But I doubt you'll remember me.. it's been so long since I've seen you! Where've you been?"

Pep giggled. "Everywhere."

[n y l a !?]

Pepper looked around again once making small talk with River. She didn't really remember all that much about this place, but she remember Night. "Where's Nightmare?" she asked to anyone who'd answer.

[Jai]

"He's gone for awhile. He'll be back later." Angel said, coming up to them. "I'm Angel, remember me?" She looked at Pepper. For as awful as she looked, she would have been Angel's first choice for Jonas. She shook her head.

[n y l a !?]

Pepper tilted her head and examined Angel. "Uhh," she closed her eyes and thought hard. "Kinda," she said. She could only remember so much from when she was younger. 'So where should I go now?" she asked, and looked back at sleeping Zee.

[Jai]

-omfg so much happened. Splash is upset so she's taking a break from RPing, Angel tried to kill herself again, and I MISSED YOU!!!

Angel looked around, then said, "You can stay here. Nights not coming back for awhile, so its fine."

[n y l a !?]

~ Aww, I missed you all too. Whi sh Splash upset? I had a dream she told the people on allhowrse bad things about me rofl! Someone's spending too much time online. *Shakes head*

bic: "Why not?" Pepper asked, wondering why the alpha would leave. She forgot to be polite and thank her for her invitation, but curiosity was more powerful.

[Jai]

"I dont know, " Angel sighed, "all I know is that I miss him."

[n y l a !?]

Pepper looked at Angel's sad eyes and felt like she was going to cry. She quickly looked away and trotted further into the herdlands, ready to meet the new people.
