//------------------------------// // Chapter 19 // Story: Silent Dreamweaver // by -Brutus //------------------------------// Hello Bronies, I'm so sorry that this chapter is so late and overdue. I apologize for this, I hope it won't happen again. I was just so busy picking up my life putting it together by piece and piece, multiple things going at once: getting a new girlfriend, renewing my license, and finding a job to have a steady source of income. Anyhow, after a month of waiting- here's your rightly deserved chapter nineteen! It’s VERY short, I apologize once again. Happy Belated Thanksgiving everypony!To make this be fair for such a short chapter, I'm going to write 3,000 to 4,000 words chapters! Then Ill try my damnest to put it out there ASAP. If Silent wasn't deaf, he might could have heard a pin drop within the room when that particular mare walked in. It was almost as if that never happened. The mare's yellow eyes deterred from his; was she sorry about it?. The deaf stallion gripped the bed as dark emotions shot through him, he wanted nothing more than to make her pay, make her feel miserable for what she put him through, but just as suddenly as they came, the malicious thoughts disappeared and new thoughts, nicer thoughts, filled his mind. Only for a brief moment, however, as the dramatic emotional shift overwhelmed the Unicorn and blurred his vision. Silent quickly shut his eyes, muttering it to go away. The deaf Unicorn felt something tapping his shoulder, snapping to attention when Twilight gave him a befuddled look. A sudden movement redirected his attention to a sorrowful Unicorn braving a step forward, but stopping when the burning glare of her ex became fixated on her. She hid her face, but couldn't hide the depths of sorrow that poured from her eyes.. It seems like that was still fresh and intact in his mind. Twilight have noticed but she didn't know exactly, hoping to diffuse the mood that was descending upon the trios of Unicorns. Twilight cleared her throat loudly and forced her best smile to the other mare. “Oh, hello there.” The magical protege held her hoof up to shake this mysterious, yet beautiful mare as greeting. Suddenly, she was held back by Silent's hoof; he shook his head 'no'. The deaf stallion turned, lashing out loudly by pointing his other free hoof toward the door. Clenching his teeth, he tried for the only two words that could solve the situation that had befallen the happy couple. ”Get. Out.” “But..” the maroon Unicorn finally spoke up, only to be interrupted by Silent slamming his hoof on his bed to punctuate his anger. The deaf stallion began to shake out of anger and sadness, crystal orbs at the threat of breaking bubbled on either side of her eyes. The maroon mare broke under the pressure, galloping out of the room to escape the offensive and desperate stares from her ex and the mare respectively. Twilight could not, for her life, figure out what just happened. There was a sudden drive within herself to help her soon-to-be lover, so she calmly trotted out of the room with the intent of talking with her. __________________________________ The hospital staff was leery of a certain maroon mare just loafing around in their break room, just staring at the coffee-maker like it was non-existent; a depressed face held on her. The yellow eyes once held sadness and vibrancy, but she repressed the feelings upon entering the lobby. She tried to pick herself up and do something, anything to keep her busy until her ride turned around to pick her up. A sob broke through he pursed lips, her mind flashed back to the first time she heard the news of the train crash. The maroon-coated Unicorn stirred in her sleep, waking from yet another bucking nightmare. Everything that she tried to get rid of that tormented face never worked, but she learned to accept it. Quickly hopping off the bed, the mare trotted to her door to do her usual rounds in the morning, but it was fate, to her anyway, when she picked up that newspaper with her magic that contained the very same information that Twilight had read. EQUESTRIA TRAIN TRADEGY NEAR HOOFINGTON; DOZENS DEAD. The collision occurred just north of Hoofington in the afternoon after the train ended up derailing after hitting one of weakened rails on a curve. Neighbours in the town of North Hoofington were alerted by what they said sounded like a bomb and rushed to the scene as survivors emerged. Rescuers worked through the night to recover bodies and help the wounded. Equestria Railroad was closed for four days as maintenance work was being done on the tracks before the accident, but officials said it was too early to determine the... She skimmed over the uninteresting bit, jumping instead to the names of the victims involved in the accident. She could have sworn there was something that made her eyes draw to this very list. Alive but unidentified: A maroon filly, with black mane and tail. Three pieces of musical notes cutie mark. Moved to Fillydelphia hospital. A white stallion, green mane and tail; various scars. Dream-cloud cutie mark. Transferred to Hoofington hospital. A light mint mare, yellow-black striped mane and tail. An ice-cream cutie mark. Transferred to Fillydelphia hospital. A gray stallion with blue spiky mane and tail. A drawing pad cutie mark. Transferred to Hoofington hospital. She couldn't believe it as one particular sentence that she just have read looped over and over in her head. A white stallion, green mane and tail; various scars. Dream-cloud cutie mark. Transferred to Hoofington hospital. She couldn't believe that he was still out there, injured, but at the moment all she could think about was visiting him. The fear of Silent's response and retaliation deterred her to no end, even though she had cut all ties with his best friend. She already actually kicked out then cut ties with Silent's now ex-best friend. The red aura around her horn deactivated, and the newspaper dropped into the ground unceremoniously. The maroon mare began to bite her lower lips as she rubbed her foreleg in very deep thought; Should she go or should she stay? Because, after all, she had betrayed him. Snapping out of her stupor when she felt a gentle hoof resting on her shoulder, her eyes dilated and focused on a silhouette who, after adjusting, turned out to be the very Unicorn sitting beside Silent on his bed. The depressed Unicorn was beginning to question her entire trip to this hospital to see her ex-lover and if it was feasible at all right now or ever. “Uh..” The yellow eyes of hers made contact, but only to break away out of despair. “Hello.” Twilight was taken aback when she realized how shaky the voice was. She moved quickly to her side to ensure that she wouldn't do anything stupid in that kind of state. “Hello! My name is Twilight Sparkle. I'm Ponyville’s librarian and the personal student of Princess Celestia! What is yours?” a vigorous voice chirped in hopes of squashing the depressing mood that mare before her have set into the room. “Amber..” The maroon Unicorn felt awkward in this situation because of what transpired in that room earlier with her...complicated relationship with her lover or was it ex-lover? Amber sighed before pushing herself to answer the question. “Amber Blossom, a florist and party-goer from the city of Baltimare and personal student to nobody.” Amber rebutted Twilight's fiasco introduction of herself. “Hehe...yeah.” Twilight turned her head to ask her a cautious, yet necessary question. “What are you doing here? Why is Silent that...” The lavender mare twitched when she remembered a dark piercing look that he had on this mare next to her. “angry with you? What happened between you two?” “I don't want to talk about it...please.” Amber turned to Twilight with a pained look in her eyes, opening her mouth to continue, “If you truly want to know, ask him.” The maroon mare turned and slumped; Amber muttered very quietly- thinking that Twilight wouldn’t overhear it. Twilight’s eyes shrinked instantly as her equine ears picked up the noise. “Why did this have to happen?...” Amber’s voice cracked before continuing “I love you..” [Uh-huh...]-MrMinimii I apologize for very short chapter, been so busy with my life- refer to the message above
