She wasn't sure what it was, but something made her flare up inside. Possibly for the fact of Dauntless being tortured, or more that she was sick of being ignored. A scream came from her, and she galloped full speed, ramming into one of the saddled horses, her draft-like weight shoving into them. She bared her teeth and began to charge at a rider, stopping a few feet from them, huffing angrily. Her eyes met his, and she waited for his next move.

Meanwhile... The indians formed a line watching... scared. ~*~ the horse kicked out as Dove's weight fell upon him. He spun around sending his rider flying and biting the heck out of Dove's throat. He muttered through clenhed teeth... *"I wouldn't mess with us if I were you honey..."* She spat out blood and trotted over to her fallen rider. Dauntless still lied there eyes shut until he knew he was safe. Then the man who was starring at Dove cracked his whip. His horse shied but regained his stance, he was still in training. The man pointe dthe whip at Dove and shot a watchful glance.

"Yes, and I don't think you really know who you are dealing with, sweetie." her voice dripped with sarcasm, and she shook off the sting of the bite, ramming into the smaller horse again. This time, more forcefull and powerfull. She turned and face the man whom cracked the whip, eyeing him and his unusual instrument up. She gave a quick glance at the indians. They looked so peaceful, and so nurturing. But, she looked at the man again, eyes narrowing.

The man cracked the whip again. He grabbed for the lasso on his saddle and twirled it around over his head. He did it awaiting to see how the mare reacted while they lead Daunltess away. ooc~ Sorry I have eaten so I have writers block I'm making myself dinner right now even though it's like 9.

At first, she continued to watch him, until curiosity got the better of her, and she looked up, eyes following the circleing loop. Tilting her head, her long, wavy forelock streamed down her face like a waterfall. It was an interesting sight to her, and she didn't know what else to do. Stomping one hoof, she extended her nose to the twirling object.

Dauntless fought back at the ropes. A couple of the men brought out their whips and cracked them in the air. He snorted proudly, like a whip was really that scary. He bolted forward biting the whip and pulling along the surprised horses. A few tumbled, crushing their riders beneath their weight. Ropes slid from horns and he was free. Dauntless pounced in front of the horrified faces of the soldiers. He let a smirk slide upon his royal kissers and trotted in a circle head held high and tail upright streaming behind him, like a banner signifying his freedom. He bared his chompers at the horses. ~"That's right don't mess wit' me!!!"~ He stomped one hoof and pranced towards Dove. Just when he thought he was never going to be caught again a rope slipped around his neck pulling him backwards and he collapsed.

Her eyes followed the rope, rather confused of what the strange object was. She knew she had seen it before, but she didn't know where. Was it that strange object that her father, The Gyosy King, had around his neck when he told her to leave? She didn't remember. Flicking an ear back on Dauntless, for the first time, it felt like greedy eyes where on her. One man, held his rope high, and began waving it. Tossing it, she felt the sting and burn of a twisted rope settle into place on her neck. Rearing half-way, she was more confused than scared.
"Boys, I believe we have ourselves two mighty fine horses. One high-class arabian, and a 50,000 dolla' Gypsy! She tried to bolt, but the stocky, heavy weighted stallion didn't budge. Another rope flung to her front hoof. With that, she was down.

Dauntless had fought this war before, not once had he ever lost. It wasn't going to change now. He struggled and strained trying to break free, but more ropes kept on darting at him. Dauntless gnawed at the rope around his neck which eventually broke. Then he worked for the ropes around his legs. Dauntless finally won and ran off. *"Woah boys! Looks like we gots ourselves a escape artist!"* Old Joe tipped his hat and swung his legs outwards, ready to give his horse a might fine kick. The old mare jolted and galloped after Dauntless. The fine twine spun and Old Joe aimed for Dauntless.

With a grunt, and a heave, she was up off of the ground. Angered enough, she kicked out, and bolted, draft-weight shoving the proud stallion to his knees. Galloping away, Old Dan merely smiled. "Now, then, ye beautiful lil' missy, we won't let ye get way' that easy." With a holler, he sent four men along with him. The stallion had remarkable speed, and finally was a few yards away from Dove. With a toss of the rope, it stuck. She flew backwards, landing onto her back. The four other men tied ropes to her large legs, securing them tight.

As the ropes darted at Dauntless he would jump sideways trying to escape their wraths. A squirrel scurried in front of him and nearly knocked Dauntless over. Before he could recover he tripped over a root and did a face plant. *"Well I be darned your just makin' dis job as easy as Ms. Cassie's puddin' pie!"* Old Joe threw the rope. It sailed swiftly through the air and nestled itself around his neck. As Joe wiped the sweat from his forehead a cocky smile sat upon his lips. He turned back wards and gave the men a thumbs up. *"Looks like we caughts ourselves two horses!"* Joe encouraged Dauntless to get up with his whip.

Dan smiled, and pulled his thumb up wards. "Two mighty fine horses! These two will be the best on the whole ranch! He dismounted, and while the others held their ropes tight, he began to fasten a halter on the mare's delicate head. She pinned her ears, and bit down on his thumb. He yelped, and gave a ear-ringing loud crack of his whip. When he finally pulled her up, he cracked the whip once more to send her back. A thick group of riders and their stallions surrounded her, and a few of the flirty horses gave her whistles and kissing noises. She merely dropped her head.

The fire flared up again, how dare those boys treat Dove like that! He jumped up and pulled with all his might. Old Joe was surprised at how strong the stallion was especially for his size. He dragged the horses as he pulled on the ropes. He leaned into every pull throwing in his weight. Dauntless snapped at a few of the stallions. ~"Get those filthy eyes of yours off my mare!"~ He pinned his ears head butted a stallion next to him. Sure he was half the size but Dauntless was mighty.

The stallion regained his stance, and shoved at Dauntless. He flicked his tail at him, annoyed. "We got every right to this beauty as you, and when she gets back home, I'm callin' her my own. A few other stallions grunted in protest, and others just kept flirting.
Dove narrowed her eyes, although they were hidden by her forelock. She couldn't do anything else, in fear that she would severely injure herself.

What did he just say? ~" I just reckon that you keep your eyes off my girl, she's mine I've already claimed her. You set your eyes upon her one more time and I'm gonna have some serious fun whoopin' your back yonder."~ He shot a smirk and tried to use a southern accent as well as talk like one too. He flicked his tail rather feathered about the stallion's comment.

He let out a mere chuckle. "Yeah, well, let's see about that one. The others oohed and laughed. Dove bared her teeth and they just kept calling her flirty names. She struck the ground, and they called her a "Sassy little filly" She was just a few inches away from attacking the brutes, but she kept it to herself. Dan looked at Old Joe. "We ready to get a move on?"
