//------------------------------// // II: Endings // Story: Happy Endings // by Jet Howitzer //------------------------------// The unicorn slowly made his way up the hill, his jacket and hat obscuring most of his features from view. He looked on in awe as the filly just sat under the tree, shivering non-stop and just looking out over the small town. He could just barely make out small shining diamonds making their way down her cheeks, freezing before they could fall from her face. She slowly sank under the weight of the strength sapping cold. Each second she sank a bit lower, burying herself in the snow just a bit more. As a sob wracked the filly’s body, the stallion started moving closer, unwilling to just stand by and watch the filly freeze to death. Hopefully the town hadn’t heard of him, and he’d be able to blend in for long enough to see that the filly survived. He didn’t have very high hopes, though. Exposure to cold of this intensity for this long didn’t bode well for an unprotected pony, let alone a foal. After all, this is no fairy tale, and there are no happy endings. (For the record: This is a part of the series for multiple reasons. 1. I want it to be, and I mentioned several of my OC's. 2. This chapter, about the stallion, is going to be a future OC. Deal with it.)
