Zarathustra mounted Zeecarian , getting ready for the race. Zeecarian was alert , her muscles tensed as they entered the starting gate.She eyed the other horses , knowing they could and would beat them with ease.

zarathustra & zacharie [/font][/center] A tall, brown haired boy of 19 sat in the stands, at the rail, eyes egar and waiting for the gates to open. He wore faded blue jeans, barn boots, a white tee and a soft pink dress hirt, un buttoned and flapping lightly in the wind. Come on, Zee, give her a good one. Under his breath he spoke. |

She shot a look at Zack with a small smile as she was in the first starting gate and they could see eachother.Her gaze was then turned on the track as she waited. The bell rang and Zee , Or in the race's case One X And Your Done , shot forward , powerful hind qaurters kicking off ,pillars outstreching. She would only just keep up wiht the others until the last strech , then she would shoot forward , ahead of the others. Zara let her do what she was doing.They both knew what the other would do.She leaned forward as the race went on.

Zack's hand tightened around his program, standing from his seat. The sweat from his palms ran the ink slightly, imprinting it onto his skin. His eyes followed the crowd of 13 horses, gaze locked on Zara. Tonight was their 1 year anniversary, and it would be amazing if the horse and girl won on such a special day. Zack had full confidence in their skill, but he'd seen what can happen at horse races, horse, and people, could die.

Zara and Zee galloped soomthly with the others , hoof beats rang in their ears. The wind rushed in Zara's ears and Zee's pinned back in it. They moved easily , not at full speed yet.
It was the last strech now. Zeecarian knew what to do. She had let herself drop back , like they were going to loose , but she knew they weren't Zee suddenly shot forward , ahead of the others by a few horse's length. The finish line was coming up.....

He paced along the rail, leaning into the bars, gazing at Zara and Zee. They had set back in the pack, it looked like Zee was tiring. Her energy was slowing, it seemed. A small flicker of hope burned out in his stomach, but then the pair sped suddenly, breaking the pack, leaving the other fillies in the dust. One black mare tried breaking as well, but was slowly taken in by the group. The wire was comnig up, and Zee was in front...

Zee had not been tired at all , she just liked teasing the others into thinking they were winning.Zara knew this was what she had been doing. The finish line came up , Zee and Zara crossed it....Then , right after they crossed the finish line , something went wrong. A stallion came up at Zee , a hoarse call of challenge admitted.Zee pranced and began to slow ,ignoring the stag until he bore his teeth at Zara.THat made Zee mad.No one threatened her girl. She spun around , rearing up. Her flints lashed out at the chestnut brute , her own whinny being called out. The stallion's jocky tried to control him but couldn't.. The stallion ,Death Strike ,Almost hit Zara . When she quickly moved away from the strike of his sharp daggers she lost her balance and fell to the dusty track. Zee was bitten by the stag and she lunged forward , trying to get him away from Zara. Now the other horses were coming up on Zara. She rolled away from every pounding hoof until one struck her in the head She blacked out from the strike that had hit quick and sharp. Warm , fresh crimson rolled down her pale cheek. Zee whirled around and went in front of Zara , trying to make sure the rest of the horses did not catch her. When all the other horses had passed , Including Death Strike , she nudged Zara softly with her maw , a soft rumble escaping her. The man spoke over the race speakers. And jocky number one is down.It doesn't look good.

Zacharie lept from the stands, panic surging through his veins. No, no...He sprinted towards the motionless body of Zara, unaware of the security officials and paramedics. He almost reached her, when two heavily muscled security guards grabed him around the waist and shoulders, restraining him from going any burther. Please, step back, sir. Zack's eyes pleaded, as he screamed to be let loose. No! Let me go! She's my girlfriend, this can't happen! Let me see her! His fists flailed in the air, as he struggled to get free.

Zara could not hear anything that was happening for she was passed out still.Zee reared up at the gaurds , making them scatter from the tall , muscled mare so Zack could get over. Zee snorted softly at the now set free Zack then went back to Zara. Siree came over , running to her best friend.She was asked to move Zee so she did as Zara was loaded into an ambulence.
Zara woke in the hospital about an hour later.She was laying in a bed with one IV and a bandage wrapped around her head where the hoof had cut her. She , being stubborn, took off the bandage. She also took out her IV , got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.She looked in the mirror. Her cut was not that bad but the bruising around it made it look bad. She wet a napkin and dabbed it softly. Turning from the mirror , she walked back to the bed and lay down in it. What happened to me?Wait , who is me?She thought. Why can't I remember my name?And what am I doing here?She thought. A few minutes before she woke a docter had called Zack to speak with him so he was not in the room.
Outside where Zara was Dr.Greene spoke. Falling triggered stress in her body , and mind probably , making the Cancer come back.It hasn't hit yet , but it's going to soon.He said. His pager rang and he left. Zara had not told Zack about her Cancer. She didn't want him to worry about her , and plus she hadn't had any signs of it since she was ten. But now , Eight years later , it came back. The docter had not been aware he did not know.
She looked around at the room.It was white washed and not very plesant.For some reason she felt paniced , like she needed to get out of there. Siree walked into the room , a worried look on her face. Z , are you alright?!Oh my gosh , i was watching in the stands....I was so scared.She said , coming to her side. Zara looked confused. Who is she? Huh?What are you talking about?Z?Is that my name?She asked , confusion clear. Siree's face fell , her eyes now even more concerned. Y-your name is Zarathustra. Your a jocky.YOu fell off your horse , Zee , in a race....She said. Zara reconized the name 'Zee'. Zack's here too.....He was really worried , he still is.She said. Zara was even mroe confused now. Zack? The name seemed familar. Who's Zack?Who are you?She asked ,sitting up. Zara , Zack's your boyfriend and i'm your best friend , Siree.She explained.

Zack sat outside her room, in a small hospital chair, doctor speaking to him, but nothing registering in his mind. He sat with his head in his hands, a cup of coffee at his feet, un-opened, still hot. His shoulders shook as he breathed, why did he have to be in this place again? The sleeves to his dress shirt were rolled up to his elbows, a small black box sat on his thigh. He shook his head, sitting up and running a shaky hand through his hair.

Zack stood, grasping the box on his leg. He placed his free hand on the doorknob, sliding the box into his jeans pocket. Opening the door, his worried eyes fell upon Zara, and he hurridley rushed to the bedside. He knelt down, grabbing her hand and kissing it. Zara, I was..I was so worried. His shoulders buckled as he lay his head on the bed beside her leg.

She looked over at him.He seemed famialar , but her mind would not make the connection. His kiss on her hand felt familair, too. Who are you?Are you...Zack?She asked , pale eyes slightly confused as she sat up all the way so she could see him better. Her ivory hair fell sleek over her shoulders , pale blue eyes searching the world around her.

His grip on her hand loosened, he stood slowly. His mucle and strength had returned from his meet with cancer almost half a year ago. His eyes clouded as he looked at Zara. It took everything he had in him not to reach up to her and brush her hair away from her face. Zara..I..He backed up, stumbling meekly into a chair. He nodded. Yes. I'-I'm Zack..

The name registared in her mind as someone she cared for , maybe even loved , but she was not sure. Hey....Um...Is today important?I can't remember....She said , trying to figure out why it felt something was happening that day. She was curious. Her icey blue eyes showed what they usually did for Zack;Love,caring,and famliarity , but her mind didn't fully have that for she had forgotten.
