She sees Goldy slip away from the group and she knows that no horse should be out there alone - especially not a foal. She looks around, seeing if anyone else noticed. When she sees that no one has, she tosses her head back in the direction that Goldy had taken off to. Her eyes shimmer with determination as she quickly frees herself from the tangled mass of horses and gallops off. The rain pelts her soaked back, she can almost feel the welts form, but she continues on. Down by the pond she thinks she sees the filly. The water is rising so quickly, she watches as the clear liquid as ut spills over the bank and cascades down the hill that Goldy is trying to climb. The mare pumps her legs harder until she can spot the little one. A small river flows around her legs and is getting deeper all the time. The tall grass is submerged with water, and the lead mare stuggles to keep Goldys head above. The current tugs on her legs persistantly and several times she considers giving up, but then she sees Goldys scared eyes, round with innocence and she knows that she can't forfit, she can't give in for herself, because that would be surrendering Goldy as well. She wouldn't let the storm get the best of them. Holding her breath, the mare ducks under the flood, and under the filly. When she rises again, Goldy is secure on her back as she continues to slosh through the maze of weeds. Growing tired, she yelps a little, hoping someone can here her cry. The water was up to her chest now that she was nearing the bottom of the hill and she wasn't sure how much farther she could carry on this way.

She turns and sees no Goldy. She snorts. She looks aroud panic taking over. She nickers highly. She works her way to the outer edge of the group. She scans the flooding plains. The water was up to her knees. She hears a cry and looks in its direction. She sees Expresso and Goldy. The whites of her eyes showing as she takes of. The water spashes around her the drops stinging her eyes. She reaches a small hill closer to the two. She halts wtaching scared.

She stops and nickers for her mum this time for the water was up to her sides. She sees a horse not her mum but another horse splashing through the water towards her. She nickers for her. The water was now at her sides and she was forced to swim. He head bobs underwater as she whinnys in fright. She looks for the horse but it had disapeard. She feels her body lifting from the water and looks down to see her Grand-dam. She nickers and clings to her with her life.

*Cloudy is across the her back, snuggled deep in her long, silky mane.*

*Sunny sighs deeply, her breath blowing her still-silky, creamy forelock off her velvety nose. The old mare looks down from a small hillock where she stands alone.* I am old, *she thinks reasonably.* Perhaps this was meant to be my end . . . *But then she sees her grandfilly's frightened face and sets her jaw.* No, *she thinks.* I can't let a chance to see Cloudy grow up slip away. I'll stay alive. If it's the last thing I do, I'll stay alive.
