Cadenza's POV

I was amazed when Storm hugged me and kissed my forehead to console me. To be honest, I didn't act as a cry-baby. I was truly sad about the thought of my mom. But when Storm said that everything was going to be okay. I believed him because I knew he wouldn't lie to me.

But there was something wrong about him. He guarded me when someone came closer to us. When I was with his mother, Rain, he disappeared to speak with his father. I wanted to ask about it but I didn't want to seemto be curious or something. So I decided not to ask about it. I hoped when the time was right he would tell me that.

After about 3 weeks, I had enough. I was with Rain - again. She cared with me as if I had been her daughter. We always had chit-chats and meals together. Then situation wasn't different. I was searching for juicy grass when she arrived.

"I think he has left you, doesn't he?" she said. I jerked up from my thoughts.

"Yes.. again" I mumbled. "It has been the second time today."

"I know how bad it is, darling. But he had a good reason" she calmed me down.

"I know, I know.." I sighed. "Can't you tell me what it is?"

"I really want to, but I can't. Both my Spirit and Storm would kill me if I told you." she chanted. "I'm sorry, my dear."

"I understand. Storm may tell me someday" I sighed and turned my head down to eat a bit.

Rain walked next to me and started to eat, as well. We were chatting during the meal about girly things like how Rain got to know Spirit and so on. I laughed a lot when she told that an Indian named Little Creek had connected them with a rope. As she said, she had played a game with Spirit. She told that in that way Storm's father opened to her and became more interested in her. It was quite interesting to hear that until she said something.. about Storm.

"I shouldn't tell you but I just can't keep it in myself" she said suddenly.

I looked at her.

"What is it? You know I like secrets" I laughed. I regarded her as my mother and best friend.

Since I was torn from my real mother by those Indians, I haven't got so much fun. I was lonely but when I found out that she was so friendly, a flush of hope flashed. Of course, I missed my real mother, more than anything. But she could help me out from my loneliness. I was very grateful for it.

"Well.. I just saw how my son has been caring you" she smiled.

"We are just.. friends" I blushed.

"Of course" she giggled. "I've never seen him as happy as with you."

That bite of grass I was eating stopped in my mouth. I could hardly gulp I heard that.

"Really?" I asked back.

Unfortunately, she couldn't answer because someone arrived to us. I turned my head to see who that was.

"Hi Mom. Hey Cad. What's up?" Storm greeted us as he stopped by my side. His side touched my side. My heart went crazy at that touch.

"Nothing. I think I'll leave you youngsters there. See you soon kids" she said and trotted to her mate.

During that, Storm walked in front of me. He studied my face closely.

"Cady? Are you here?" he said into my face.

"What? Oh, yes. Why?" I answered wonderingly.

"You haven't answered my question yet." he came closer to me. My nose touched his chest because he was much bigger than me.

"Oh.. yeah.. I'm fine. But you've disturbed our conversation with your mom!" I pushed his chest and trotted away.

He was quicker than me. I ran into Storm and upset him. I laughed at my friend hard.

"Don't laugh at me, young lady. Help me up" he mumbled in his nervousness. Storm was so unlucky so I turned my head down to help this unlucky one up. But then he pulled me down next to him.

We both laughed so hard. It took us 5 minutes to calm down but we weren't interested in it. We just enjoyed the sunset together.

"You're so stupid" I giggled. My back leaned against his chest. The last beams of the sun was nice and warm.

He leaned forward to reach my neck. He gave a soft kiss on it. I shattered for a second."But you like stupid horses, don't you?"

"Yes. I like those type of stallions" I said and turned around to see his face.

I felt so happy at that moment. I forgot my problems for those minutes.
