'Human' in Equestria: Maverick and Hunter

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I just can't.... I can't do this fic anymore. I can't get anything else from it. All of my ideas have gone out the window... there's no way I can dig myself out of the hole I already dug myself into. You'll have to forgive me for my lack of suck-it-up-and-get-on-with-it-ness, but there's no way I can get on with this any longer.

I regret to say that Maverick and Hunter is coming to a close with no conclusion.

If you want to know what it would have ended like, then just ask and I'll come back and leave a comment or edit this or something...

There's nothing more for me in this fic, I can't get any more ideas of story line or anything. I really do want to continue with this, honestly, but there's nothing else I can do to continue. This writer 's block wall I've run into has overwhelmed me to the point of giving up.

Hate me all you want if you wanted to read more, but I'm sorry, it's over.

I know this is a mistake.

My only gift to you is the beginning portion of the next chapter I wrote. Again, I'm sorry:

Chapter 5

The inside of the library flickered with candle light, Twilight Sparkle sitting at the edge of her bed and staring up at the starry night sky through her window. Twilight looked to her left, watching Heather sleep peacefully under a dark blue blanket, the sheet of cloth raising up and down slowly as Heather breathed. The soldier’s tears had stopped only two hours ago, Heather finally able to let exhaustion take over her and doze off into sleep. Heather’s eyelids seemed to gently rumble, the mare twitching every once and a while, making small grunts and squeaks. Twilight smiled and turned her head back to the window, levitating a cup of water on her nightstand in front of her. The purple unicorn took a sip from the glass, closing her eyes and letting the warm water slide down her throat.

[Four hours earlier]

Night continued to spread its darkness over the town of Ponyville, a full moon lingering in the star sprinkled sky. Crickets chirping, ponies snoring, and timberwolves howling, Ponyville rested for the night, only a few of the town’s inhabitants out admiring the serene landscape that laid beyond the town of ponies. The edge of Ponyville rung with the sounds of night, the path into Everfree clear from any living thing aside from a few fireflies floating over the field between the forest and the town. The grass in the field swayed gently in the small breeze rolling over Equestria, the remnants of dandelions soaring slowly through the night air. The path into Everfree slowly rose with the sound of distant hoofsteps, two ponies making their way out from the seemingly docile forest. Accompanying the hoofsteps came the sound of repressed depression, tears leaving a damp trail as they followed the two ponies. One pony comforted the other, trying her best to keep the pony next to her from breaking into tears once more.

It had only been an hour earlier that they had encountered their target, but returned to their home only with broken hearts and disappointment. The two ponies slowly made their way down the trail in Everfree, heading back to the tree that served as the home of the unicorn walking down the Everfree path. Tears slowly drying, yet still finding a way to escape, the earth pony came to a halt in the middle of the field between Ponyville and Everfree. Her legs slowly lowered under her and she let her tears fall again, unable to keep the daunting memories out of her head. The unicorn turned around slowly and stared at the earth pony sitting on the ground, her mane flowing gently in the cool breeze. The unicorn bit her lip and slowly walked over to the earth pony, sitting down next to the crying mare and putting her right foreleg around her friend. The earth pony’s sobs and tears slowly crawled to a halt as she felt the unicorn’s touch, the earth pony turning her head to the mare next to her. The two ponies sat in silence for a second, staring into each other’s eyes. The earth pony slowly smiled and closed her eyes, leaning her head sideways and resting it on the unicorn next to her, still sniffling quietly. After another moment of silence, the two mares stood up, beginning to walk back to the town they had left the morning before.

Twilight sighed and set the glass of water back down on the nightstand next to her bed, yawning as she felt a small wave of exhaustion sweep over her. As her eyes slowly opened once more, Twilight turned her head toward the sleeping mare on the bed across from her own. Heather continued to snore lightly, deep into sleep as she laid peacefully under the blanket over her. Heather’s forelegs rested by her sides, her hooves bending at an adorable angle over her chest. Her hind legs stuck up slightly under the blanket, the soldier still adjusting to pony anatomy.

A/N: Before Maverick and Hunter leave, Sadie was the Alpha unit of the Beta unit Heather executed.
