The man smirked slightly as the mare backed away from his hands. He lunged and grabbed her halter, dragging her forward. Ignoring her protesting whinnies, he took her firmly by her reins and lead her forward, half-dragging her towards the ring. She was pulled into it, her hooves digging into the soft turf as the announcer's voice boomed through the room.

"Here we have Soaring Jinx, a graceful Arabian 5 year old mare."

Jinx bucked slightly as the man gave her a sharp slap. He hissed and glared at her. He pulled on her reins and she had no choice but to follow him, her right back leg paining her greatly. With another stringing hit, she moved into a trot. She snorted when he pulled her to a stop, snaking her head forward.

"Don't you even think about it, missy" The cruel man said, grinning wolfishly. He jumped out of range of her teeth and she threw her head up, causing him to fall forwards. With another snort, she charged forward, limbs pulling her gracefully into a gallop. The man let go, hissing and spitting, his face twisted in rage as he took chase of Jinx. She was much faster than him, and easily kept ahead. Roars of laughter boomed through the ring when the man stumbled and fell, face down, into the sandy floor. Jinx stopped, turned back, and trotted over to the fallen man. Nudging him with her nose, she wanted the game to carry on. The man pounced, grabbing clumsily at her reins. She jumped back, then charged off again, the man in hot pursuit. Two other men faced her off as she completed the lap of the ring, and she skirted them easily. The other man bellowed for the two to get her, and they joined him. Soon, she started to tire. She slowed her pace to a more restful trot, prancing and jumping away from the men's hands.

Finally, one man caught hold of her mane, and painfully twisted it and pulled her towards him. She reared, snorting as the other men grabbed at her reins. The first man jumped onto her back, kicking her hard. With another distressful whinny, she set off, getting a kick every time she stumbled in her lap. She held her head low, ears pinned. She tried to escape the two-legged beast, but he held on, gripping her reins and mane. Soon, though it seemed like hours to Jinx, the man guided her out of the ring. She tried to make the ride as uncomfortable as she could. He jumped off when they reached her stool, then pushed her in and locked the door.

A blonde haired girl,around the age of 16 was watching hurting her eyes by watching the cruel but sorta fun to the poor mare,Soaring Jinx.As the auctioner started the bid on Soaring Jinx,the girl thought,what will the mare do?she'll be turned to horsemeat.

She gulped and raised her sign.Knowing she did the right thing she shouted loudly
"$5000 dollars"She knew this was right...at least she hoped so

[x t.erri |]

The auctioner nodded towards a gentleman, talking rapidly.

"$500..$1000...$5000 from the woman in the back row"

Meanwhile, Jinx bucked and kicked at her stool door. It creaked and groaned under the pressure, but would not break. Snorting, she head-butted the thing the man had used to lock her in here. A bolt. It slid up and the door swung open. She whinnied excitedly, and broke into a gallop towards the ring. The gate was easier, as it was not made to stand her flaying hooves. It broke, and she reared and entered the ring again, much to the amusement of the crowd as the man started the chase again. This time he was ready, and soon caught her, and lead her back through the broken door. He shut her into another stool and tied her reins to a post, then tied her hooves together.

"That should teach you" He whispered, smirking.

"Going once, going twice... gone!" The auctioner shouted, nodding towards the woman. She had won.

[alyssandria]

The girl smiled as she won the horse in the bid.She laughed with happiness as the crowd applaused.She looked at the horse,in the eyes.

She stood up and straightened her skirt,walking to the horse.She put out her hand.A little afraid if the horse would bite,but the girls eyes were soft and nice.She smiled waiting if the horse would bite or lick

[x t.erri |]

She backed up slightly as the girl approached, afraid she would hit her again. She sniffed at her hand, then looked up into her face. It was soft, so she moved forwards slightly. She sniffed more at her hand, hoping for a treat. Well, she was a horse. When she didn't find one on her hand, she sniffed at her pockets, nosing into them. She snorted disdainfully, backing away from the girl to look her in the eye.

[alyssandria]

The girl smiled and digged into her pocket,taking a handful of chooped carrots,handing it out to the mare.she then patted the mare softly taking a halter out,specially made of soft strong wool.She let the mare sniff the halter and eat the carrots.Her eyes filled with joy and hope.....Hope that this mare would love her.

[x t.erri |]

She snapped up the treats, backing (and stumbling since her legs were tied) slightly as the girl moved. She didn't trust humans much, not after what the man did. When she made no move to hurt her, she started to sniff at the new halter, opening her mouth thoughtfully, before closing it and looking for more treats. She wanted to get out of this stool, though. It gave her barely enough room, and the ropes tying her legs were rubbing against her flesh.

[alyssandria]

As the auctioner gave her the paperwork she looked at the mare with thought.She went into the cage slowly and untied her ropes.She stood in front of the mare,patting her slowly.She showed her the halter and sorta pulled it slightly...showing it wasen't pain.She slowly slipped the halter on,opening the mare's mouth slowly.Finally,she slipped the halter and buckled the ropes.She got her lead rope and clipped it on.She slowly tugged softly,waiting if Soaring jinx would follow

[x t.erri |]

(Do you mean bridle? Because halters don't go in their mouths, they slip around their heads)

She was slightly confused when the girl stepped into the stool and patted her neck, but allowed her to without biting or kicking. She grimaced as the girl placed the halter around her head and attached a rope to it. She put back her ears slightly as she tugged at the rope, but followed obediently. She was sore all over, and didn't want another slap or kick. When she was out of her stool, and whinnied happily, and tried to lunge at the man who had tormented her, but the rope held her back. She snorted and pulled at the lead, unliking the restricted movement.

[alyssandria]

OOC:sorry i meant bridle..got lost

The girl smiled and walked to the mare patting her softly and giving her a small treat."Hey there Soaring Jinx.I'm your new owner.."She said with a clam smooth voice.She raised her hand,putting it down to settle on her mane.She dug her face in her mane and started massaging the mare's neck to calm her down

[x t.erri |]

She snorted gently, taking in the scent of the strange girl as she fed her another treat, gobbling it up hungrily. She liked the new taste of treats, so looked hopefully up at the girl. What the hell if she got fat, she wanted the tasty stuff. She tossed her head and backed slightly when the girl started touching her, but slowly calmed down and allowed her to massage her neck. The girl's soft hands moved over a sore cut, and she reared slightly, snapping her teeth at her new owner as the pain sent sharp waves through her body.

[alyssandria]

Sharp reflexes opened as she jumped backwords,bounding into the unknown wall ,she crashed head first into the brick wall,hurting her...Causing her to fall.Unconsious she was as the air grew silent.The horse,Soaring Jinx now quiet too with the silence.As blood trickled down a wound of the girl's scalp..the blood followed going down the small dusty drain.
