Jaeden and Marko

Jaeden sat ontop of Marko. THe appaloosa stallion trotted carefully through the eskers. He snorted and his ears twitched.


Joni Burnhardt

Joni rode Hollywood Headliner out onto the Eskers, the stallion trekking over the rough terrain with ease. Seeing another rider, she rode close, her eyes widening. It was like deja vu, really. She had seen this boy, younger though, at the Prairie, and she claimed him her son.

Oaka followed Marko and Jaedan closely, barking happily.


Jaeden and Marko

Jaeden stopped marko with a pat and his eyes landed on the lady he met about five years ago . He was now 15 years old give or take..Marko the once young Appaloosa stallion snorted and watched hte lady. He would of stayed with her if it wasn't for the fact that he was gonna be sold.


Joni Burnhardt

Joni stopped Storm, as she called her stallion, and whistled softly to the stallion, as she did when he was a foal.

Oaka stopped to, ears pricked and blinking. She remembered the human, too.


Jaeden

Marko heard the whistle and his ears flicked forward and he took a step toward the girl but stopped when Jaeden stroked him. He was confused.He snorted and tossed his dial.
Jaeden was confused.Why was this lady so familar thought?


Joni Burnhardt

"Do you remember me?" Joni asked the boy. "Your name is Jaedan, right? Your horse there is Marko, and the dog is Oaka." Joni wanted to convinced him that she was his mother, but the boy seemed untouchable by her words the past few encounters.

Oaka heard her name, standing rock still.


Jaedan

Jaedan listened and watched her. His eyes staring at her. He only had shorts on no shirt.Yes I'm Jeaden and htis is my friend Marko and my friends OakaThese animals were his equals tehy raised him.
Marko ears twitched lightly listening.


Joni Burnhardt

Joni smiled, touching Storm's neck. "I am Joni. Your father was Jib," Joni added, turning to Marko, "He was merely a colt, and the dog merely a pup when I knew them. Oaka, come here."

Oaka took a few steps forward, but remained calm.

"You see, I am your mother, Jaedan. You were taken from your home when you were but a child, and I never saw you accept for at the Prairie," Joni addressed the boy. "Your father was killed on the same day of you and Oaka's disappearance."


Jaeden

He listened but was still confused.He wasn't sure if he should accept it or not.His eyes held no emotion.BUt then a flash back of his father being killed came and he shut his eyes and let his head fall to the stallions neck.
Marko pawed the ground.


Joni Burnhardt

Joni remembered her wallet in her pocket, and took the wrinkled picture of Jib, moving Storm forward and showing it to Jaedan. "You know, don't you?"


Jaeden

His eyes looked over at the picture and then away.He didn't answer her.Tears falling from his eyes.

Marko pawed the ground.


Joni Burnhardt

"I can't say your my son unless you know that you are." Joni told him.


Jaeden

Jaedan listened to her. He knew he was. It was just the fact that the picture of his father brought back that fretful night.His hand went to his eyes and wiped it away.I knowWas all he said but he didn;t look at her.


Joni Burnhardt

"I know its hard for you to admit it. I also know you'll never be able to adapt completely to my life, and that you live better off here in the wild, with the family you have made here." Joni began, turning Storm away and slowly troting him off.


Jaeden

Jaeden looked to Oaka.I know who killed himHe spoke looking up and at her as she moved away


Joni

Joni turned, a bit interested, "Who?"


Jaeden

He sat up.The kid with one eye and the eye is redHe spoke. He didn't remember the kids name but knew what he looked like.


Joni

Joni shook her head, sighing softly. "Thank you." Joni then left, knowing why Sasuke had changed and why Jackie attacked him.


Jaeden

He just watched her and then made to go home himself.
