What Is Your Secret?

Chapter 2: Who's this?

I walked beside my mother, who grazed the lush green grass and Bethany and Gabriela, still talked, seemed like they would for years. That was until I heard the gate flash open and the girls getting closer and an unfamiliar filly. I went into a state of panic and quickly ran behind Rose, my blood bay mother. The other filly was a black pinto and had bright green eyes where as mine was blue, and she was not a Lusitano like us, which made me more nervous. My mother nuzzled me and looked at the filly as the girls stopped, closing the fence and watched us. "H-hello?" She seemed nervous too or even scared like me, it made me more calmer to see she was as scared as I was which made me slowly come out "Hi! Im Snowflake, this is my mother Rose!" I gave a nervous smile. The filly smiled "Im Kalinda, I'm Bethany's filly" I smiled. We talked for awhile. She seemed like a nice horse. We got along right a way. I decided maybe she would play with me so I asked. "Yeah" she said with a smile and we began to chase each other around. When we came to a corner of the pasture I made a wide turn but Kalinda, she ran closer to the edge of the fence where she made a very sharp turn. I was surprised! No horse could turn like that! She was also very fast as she was gaining ground and was about to catch me. I ran under my mother as she continued to graze. When I looked back, Kalinda was frozen in fear. Her ears were lowered as she looked at my mother. "Hello there" She nickered as she lifted her head to look at Kalinda. Kalinda was silent. She looked so terrified that her body was shaking. I trotted over to my mother as she said "My name is Rose, I think you've met my daughter SnowFlake." I smiled as I looked at my mother. "My names Kalinda" Kalinda stuttered a little. I couldn't believe how scared she was. "It's okay Kalinda. you don't need to fear me" Mother nickered. "Where's your mother?" Mother asked as she looked around. Kalinda's ears dropped. "I- I don't know" She said as she looked at the ground. "She was sold before Bethany got me" Kalinda frowned as tears seemed to form in her eyes. What!? What human would sell a mare and filly separately? I felt very bad for Kalinda. Without a mother or father. Mother perked her ears as she seemed to get an idea. "Would you like me to be your mother?" She asked. That surprised Kalinda. Her ears shot up and her green eyes looked into my mothers brown eyes. "Really? But I'm not a Lusitano like you" Kalinda said. That was true. "That doesn't matter, what matters is if you love them" Mother said. Kalinda almost broke out in tears. "Yes please! Thank you so much!!" She neighed as mother nuzzled her. I was excited. I now have a sister. Even though she isn't by blood, I wanted her to be my sister. Mother nuzzled Kalinda back before me and her began to play tag again. We played for the rest of the day. When night had fallen, we laid beside each other underneath mother and all three of us were asleep.
