My Story as a Horse Shifter [#1]

Chapter 2

The picture above is Beauty.

I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

Love you all!💜

I dismounted Beauty and started leading her to her stall. All of sudden, she kicked me and everything went black.

I couldn't tell whether I was dreaming or in a daze. I began to hear a voice inside my head. Everything was happening too quickly. My head was throbbing. I felt like I was getting pinched by a thousand needles.

What's happening? Am I seeing things? Is this a dream?

"I'm sorry I kicked you, Melody."

"Who- who are you?" I asked, softly.

"There's no need to be scared. It's me, Beauty!"

"Beauty?" I asked confused. "How are you talking to me?"

"Nevermind that, just listen to me."

A face appeared. It was a girl with light brown hair and dark brown eyes, probably around 18.

She's human?

She took a deep breath before saying, "Melody, I'm a horse shifter. I know you probably don't know what I'm talking about but it means that I'm actually human and can turn into a horse whenever I want."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My beautiful Beauty was actually a person all this time?

How is this possible?

I couldn't believe Beauty was a horse shifter.

I was kind of happy for her but at the same time, my brain flooded with a million questions.

"Wow," I said. "So, did you become a horse shifter or?"

"Well, I was born one. You probably don't know this but my whole family consists of horse shifters and I'm no different from them."

I nodded, still slightly confused.

"No offense but... could you further explain what the deal is with horse shifters? You're not actually a horse then?"

She laughed.

"You've got the right idea. Like I said, I'm actually human. I do have horse-like abilities though. One of my abilities is that I can take the form of a horse or shift into my horse form, hence the fancy name 'horse shifter'."

I laughed.

"Anyway, I think I should wake you up now. Your mom might be worried about you. Don't tell her what I told you okay? Just meet me at the stables as soon as you can. I'll explain some more later."

She disappeared and suddenly, I was awake.

Wow, that was weird.

Listening to what Beauty told me really got me thinking. I've always wanted to know what horses think and feel. Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a strong connection with horses. Sometimes, I've felt like I could understand them somehow. If I were a horse shifter, I would see the world from their point of view.

I ran to my house to see if my mom had noticed that I had been gone for such a long time. I secretly hoped I didn't look suspicious. I had to keep Beauty's secret, as she'd asked me to.
