Linda didn't know why she was so shocked when Isabelle teleported right in front of her. Of course unicorns could teleport, why the heck not?
'Linda, what is the matter with you? Why did you panic and run from the herd? You daughter said you were saying some strange things before.' Her mother's voice asked telepathically.
Linda fell down on all four of her knees and began crying.
Her mother said nothing, she only knelt down too. Linda was surprised again when a glow covered her tears and they were wiped away, her mother's horn glowing the same color. "There there dear, it's okay, mom's hear, please, you can tell me what's wrong."
'I . . . I . . . everything is changing, and I can't do a thing to stop it.'
'Dear, everything changes, that's life, we can't control it, but we can chose how to deal with it.'
Linda nodded, still crying. What was she supposed to do? Tell her family they weren't supposed to be unicorns and to stay away from people forever? Jeanne dad . . . Caroline, her little sister, now her daughter (who was the father?!), talked about Jeanne's dad living out in the forest . . . did that mean all it took was a simple texting to change things? Was he changing other people right now?
Linda wondered if anything short of dying would stop all this but then . . . she couldn't do that.
Linda suddenly felt around her neck a jewel, that she saw had the colors and patterns of her old cell phone. She saw runes etched on its surface, the same number as there had been contacts on her fell phone.
She tried to speak, but again found nothing but a horse whinny, then again, if unicorns could speak with telepathy, why would they have developed spoken language at all?
A part of Linda wondered, if she wished really really hard, if whatever was doing this, would at least let her walk on two legs again . . . then again, why would a species that didn't need hands to manipulate objects evolve into a biped at all? Anymore than one covered in fur that hid everything would have any reason to invent clothing?
Maybe . . . maybe as more humans became unicorns . . . they'd have their own tools and civilization?
