A Girl Like No Other

Prologue

As I survey the tall grass around me, I try to remember the last time I was human. The last time I could look in the Colorado river and see the flowing black hair and green eyes that I was born with. But now, every time I look in the stream, I see a beautiful white horse with ocean blue eyes.

As a female horse it's a bit unnatural to be leader so I've allowed my best-friend Rimle (pronounced rhi-mell) take that position.

If you haven't already realized. I'm a horse.

I wasn't always a horse, when I turned sixteen in 1709 though, I went to New Orleans to celebrate my birthday and came across a witch.

I thought she was just an old drunken beggar, but I was wrong. When I didn't give her any money she turned me into what I am today.

An immortal horse shifter. Strange right? I can only change back at night though.

Over the years I found it useless to turn human at night so I quit trying.

"Nera?" I turn my head to see Remle approaching with steady steps.

I smile at the name I gave myself when I first spoke to a horse.

"Yes Remle? " I neigh softly.

"We're moving again. The herd is preparing to leave." He informs me.

"Why?" I snort. " Are we in danger? Is it the humans?" I question him.

We've been threatened by humans before. We were once caught by a ranch but I shifted at night and released us all, including some other horses who had been mistreated.

"Somewhat, the humans are expanding in the area, we're heading further west. " I nodded at his explanation and walk towards the herd.

In less than a minute we're already galloping quickly through the more rural parts of Arizona.

it takes us several hours to arrive to our new location. And boy is it beautiful.

After hours of running we had reached a beautiful grassy meadow, and a small stream of water residing in its proximity.

After scoping out within a 1-mile radius we deem it suitable and settle in for the night.
