Hollywood just continued next to Maya, ignoring everything she said, his alert focus was really all he would do for the next few hours, this was obvious. As the gate opened Hollywood reared and pawed at the heavens, he would not return into an enclosed area, never!
His head flew back just as quickly as he lifted to his rear, his deep vocals rang threw out Silver Thorn Run, his ears glued back, finally his wild side had returned. Danielle and Rose raced out from the barn with Danielle holding a roping rope in her hand, she began to swing it toward Hollywood but the stallion just landed back on the ground and attempted to charge at Rose but was interupted by the halter and lead shank. His eyes, full of fury looked back to the holder of this problem and he snorted, he pawed at the ground and half reared, a front leg striking at the air toward her with a sharp whinny.
Danielle was rolling the rope back in"Maya, let go, i don't think this will work, someone will get hurt" She explained and Rose grew restless"Easy girl" Danielle said pulling back on the reins.

Wanted stepped in, rearing back at Hollywood. She whinnied shrilly, trying to calm him down. Maya stared at Wanted and then at Hollywood. Sighing, she gently patted the stallion. "It's alright, Hollywood. You're fine." Her calm voice didn't seem to shake at all during Hollywood's rant. She stared at him, looking in his eyes. She looked towards Danielle, "I'm not giving up on him just yet. I guess I'll try again tomorrow. Besides, I need to ride Wanted. She'll help clear my mind." Maya closed the gate, still patting Hollywood. She wasn't afraid of him not one bit.
Wanted snorted and heard what Maya said. She was going to be ridden. She whickered softly, tossing her head as she trotted off, no longer interested in the raging stallion once more.

Hollywood snorted as the pesky Wanted interfeared, he bit at her again, this time not missing but biting her neck, his ears continued to plaster back. When Maya pat Hollywood he charged forward and knocked her over, his nostrils flaring paper thin, he bucked wildly like a bronc now that he was in an encloser again, this time he would not be there the next morning.
Danielle nodded"Have fun, i am going to go put Rose away" She said and trot Rose into the barn.
Hollywood bucked and kicked at the fence, chipping it each time, he would get out, and he would never be touched by a human again. He would be wild again, weather they liked it or not, it was just in his soul.

As Maya fell she quickly stood back up again. When he bit Wanted that was the last straw. She watched Wanted bolt off, whinnying in pain. She glared at Hollywood and sighed. She opened the gate and left it open. "Leave. I never want to see you again!" She let the tears stream down her face, and she glared at Hollywood. She whistled to Wanted, but she refused to approach. Wanted stop, snorting softly. The whites of her eyes were shown. She felt as if she had let Maya down. As she approached, she gently patted Wanted, seeing the blood trickle down her neck. "You're alright, girl. He won't hurt you ever again, I promise. You're a winner in my eyes. You always are." Wanted snorted, gently nudging Maya. She smiled, she looked back at Hollywood. She wanted him gone. Sobbing now, she hid her face in Wanted's neck like she had done so many times before when she was younger. Wanted stood still for Maya was crying on the side that wasn't bleeding. She nickered quietly as if sharing her pain. She gently nuzzled Maya, comforting her as best she could. She knew that Maya would pour her heart and soul into Hollywood, but he disappointed her and her faith in him faded. Maya winced in pain, looking down at her arm, it was bleeding and it hurt a lot. She probably sprained it, maybe even broke it when she tried to catch herself. She sighed, just wanting to hear Hollywood's hoofbeats leave. She stroked Wanted and took out a carrot and gave it to her. Wanted eagerly ate it, snorting softly. She looked to Hollywood and glared at him, her eyes glossy from her tears. She would wait for him to leave before bringing Wanted back inside to treat her wound.

As the mare ran in pain Hollywood snorted in victory and just as his luck grew with the pesky mare running away the gate opened and his ears perked, with no hesitation he bolted out, whinnying loudly as he galloped toward the trail where his herd would be awaiting him.
His mare galloped out from the woods, their ears perked and their high pitch whickers filled Hollywood's perked ears, his gallop soon picked up to a quick run toward them, it seemed like it was taking forever to reach his mares, suddenly he noticed the halter on his head again and reared, he would not be caught in the eyes of his mares with a halter on, he landed back to the ground and loward his head and began to paw at the halter, trying to remove it.

Sighing, Maya briefly watched Hollywood leave. Deep down inside she would miss that horse, but he didn't belong here. He probably would never remember her and the things she did for him at the auction place. She shook her head, rubbing her eyes. She stared at Wanted, trying to smile and forget the whole ordeal. It was hard for Maya, and she probably would end up in being in denial of some sort. "How about we go and I'll dress your wound, huh?" Wanted nickered and followed Maya as she began to walk. Faintly, they both could hear Hollywood, but Maya blocked it out. She gently stroked Wanted, sighing quietly as they entered the stables. Wanted to continue to walk off, though stopped. Maya stopped by the enterance, staring at the wild stallion for the last time before turning away. She gathered the ointment and put some on Wanted. Wanted nickered quietly, though remained still. Carefully, Maya applied a small bandage to keep any infections from invading her open wound. Stroking her mare, she mounted and clicked her tongue. Wanted walked slowly, head slightly lowered for she knew her owner was upset. Maya forced a weak smile, gently digging her heels into her sides. Wanted picked up a smooth trot before going into a canter. Maya patted her, but her weak smile faded.

Hollywood finally broke the halter and lifted his head, his mares were trying to decide weather or not they wanted to go to him, or risk the humans, so they pranced forward than turned around a couple times.
Soon Hollywood whinnied loudly and they all paused, one replied the whinny, it was not a loud whinny, nor was it much of a whinny at all, a small painted foal stepped out from behind a red roan painted mustang mare and reared, his legs pawed at the air.
Hollywood soon began to gallop, leaving the broken halter where it had fallen and joined his herd, kicking out at a few mares, his commanding whinnies echoed threw out the air as he took control again and his mares grew stubborn yet again,as if he had never left. His colt pranced at his side, standing at least at 14 hands, he looked almost just like his father, but had some brown on his face and a blue eye.

Maya had halted Wanted as she saw the broken halter. "He's really gone." She dismounted, wincing with pain as she lifted the halter up off the ground. She spotted the foal and frowned even more before remounting. "I bet you'll keep me real busy, huh, Wanted? Soon, that stupid stallion'll be out of my head." A few stray tears had left her eyes, but she rubbed them away. Her pain was hiding, gently she patted her mare, urging her into a gallop. She just needed to say good-bye. They stayed in the woods and gently, Maya whispered, "Good-bye, Hollywood." She stared at the wild horses for a long moment, seeing the dust fill the air. Wanted snorted quietly, lifting her head slightly as she watched them.

Hollywood snorted hearing the sound of branches breaking he looked into the woods where he heard it from for a while and while he stared and searched, his eyes did not pick anything up, the sound of squealing of his heard filled his ears and they glued back, they were not happy squeals, but annoyed, scared squeals. He turned his head to see another stallion trying to take his herd away, Hollywood grunted and half reared, striking out with a front leg, just like he had to threaten the girl and her horse, he raced toward the stallion with bared teeth and a daring whinny.
The other stallion paused and stared at Hollywood in confusion, he must have taken over the herd while Hollywood was captive. Hollywood reared and the fight was on, the other stallion reared and they fought with their teeth and hooves, Hollywood and the other stallion both breaking down piece by piece as each of their blood was spilled.

Maya stared into Hollywood's eyes for a moment, then another stallion came. She knew better than to get involved. She closed her eyes, humming loudly trying to stop the grusome pictures enter. Wanted whickered rather loudly to Maya, concerned for her well-being. She patted Wanted, still humming. Maya's eyes shot open, nothing was helping her. She let Wanted reveal herself and Maya just stood there, posing as no threat. There was no rope at all and she had no intention of gathering the herd to be sold. She knew their purpose was to remain wild. "C'mon, Hollywood. You can do it. Don't let that stallion get away." She quietly urged him on, not sure if he could even hear her calm voice.

Hollywood snorted as his herd ran forward, being spooked from something, he bit the stallion once more and he whinnied in pain. Hollywood crashed to the ground and pivoted on his hind quarters to see Maya, she would get hurt here, and he knew it, that other stallion would take her down. As the other stallion reved himself up to charge at Maya Hollywood hook his long, matted mane, the roots were blood covered and blood trickled down his body.
He grunted and gestured his head to Maya to go away, his ears plastered back as he soon looked to the other stallion who was very distracted by the human and her horse, he charged forward and Hollywood followed him, he quickly jumped ahead of the stallion and locked his legs.
The other stallion rammed into Hollywood and with a surprised expression back stepped just as quick, staring at Hollywood who was staring at him, from head to wither nearly completely red, but with plenty of white showing, his thick forelock covering his daring eyes. He snorted and bit the stallion's neck, the stallion reared and squealing in pain. This stallion was Saranio the stallion who had challenged Hollywood far to many times to get away in this fight.
Saranio crashed back to the ground, his hooves barley missing Hollywood who did not flinch an inch but continued to stare at this angered black stallion. He was not mustang, not even half, but of the blood lines of a at least 5 breed mixed horse, with a massive bone structure.

Maya didn't move. She was frightened and she showed it by her eyes. Wanted whinnied in slight defiance as the stallion charged, but Hollywood stopped him. Maya watched, confused. Hollywood, the stallion that had hurt her twice, was no defending her. Wanted shifted her weight, wondering if she should just bolt, but something told her not to. She pawed the earth, retreating into the trees. They would be somewhat safer here.

Snorting loudly Hollywood continued to stare at the large stallion who breathed heavily, as if he knew he would loose this fight he whinnied and galloped away. Hollywood snorted in victory and turned to say good bye to Maya and Wanted, he perked his ears not seeing the duo any where because they were in the trees and grunted, he turned around and began to walk toward his herd who were now grazing in peace, they would move home lands tommorow, now in peace of that stallion and the two leggeds knew where they lived.

Wanted stepped out of the trees. "Thanks, Hollywood and good-bye." Digging her heels into Wanted's sides, the duo galloped off. Maya knew that Hollywood would never return. Wanted and Maya seemed melded together as they galloped off until soon there would be nothing but a pile of dust to be the only reminants that they were there. Maya sat back on Wanted's back, still clutching Hollywood's used halter in her hand. Wanted slowed into a trot, gently whickering to Maya. Maya leaned forwards, gasping in pain as her arm throbbed. Something was wrong and Maya knew so.
