Melanie's POV
As I walk back into the barn, I see Penny pawing."No, no, girlie." I say. "It's a bad habit to paw."
She gives me a look of confusion.
Despite the very recent discovery of "shifters", I couldn't be mean to my baby. I mean, I've seen so much abuse. Three of my horses come from the kill pen. I wanted to take them all home.
"I'll take you out again tomorrow, okay?" I say.
I unclip her halter and I couldn't help but notice that her halter didn't have the throat latch clipped on.
I brushed it off thinking it was my mistake.
I lead her back to her stall, then go into the feed room to prepare her feed.
Three quarters of Alfalfa Pellets, one scoop of Omelene, and her SmartPak supplements.
I add a cookie or two for treats. (Don't tell John, he doesn't give the horses treats unless he's trick training.)
I walk back to her stall and pour her feed into the built-in feeding compartment on the wall.
I close the door and walk over to the hay bales and grab three flakes of coastal hay and one thin flake of Alfalfa.
Shoving that into a hay net, and closing the top I walk back to her stall and tie it up on the ring.
I make sure to check her automatic waterers for any malfunction.
I give her a kiss on the whorl on her forehead.
"Goodnight, baby girl." I coo.
I walk back to John and tell him I'm going to the house.
As I'm walking to the golf cart, I think.
What is going on? She can't be a 'shifter'. Maybe it's John just playing a prank on me.
I get in the golf cart and turn the key.
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.
Dammit.
The god damn golf cart is out of gas.
I groan, and step out of the golf cart.
I'm too lazy to fill it up now so I just walk to the house.
I guess it gives me more time to think.
