When the Flame Dies
My name is Cambria and this is my story…
~*~*~*~
They say lover never dies well they were the lucky ones, love dies; and I know what it's like….
They don't know what it's like;
What it's like to be alone…
What it's like to live each day hiding from the shadows of your past.
What its like to have a war with yourself, a battle you cannot win…
You can't win the war if the battle is never finished!
This is my life, my pain, my war…
I remember back; back before my flame died; before I ran away; before.
I used to have a home, a family, a life, but there was always a yearning for something more; I knew somewhere out here there was a life for me; a life better than the one I knew…I didn't want that life, I didn't want to marry a man I didn't love, but most of all I didn't want to let them down; my family; my father, my sister…. so I did the only thing a girl could do…
I left….
I left my home, my family, my friends, just so my father could protect his family name…and now; now I'm out for revenge;
Revenge;
Revenge on my father; he outlawed me, ridiculed me, and then he told the world I was dead!! Oh no, I am not dead, I am very much alive; I may not be the same person I was back then, I may have a new name, and I may have engaged in piracy to earn a living, but I'm still alive…I'm waiting; waiting for the opportune moment…
The opportune moment for revenge!
People say revenge isn't the way, oh but they will never know what its like to have your own father hate you for protecting his name from shame, not only did he hate me, oh no…. he covered my disappearance by saying I was killed by pirates; bloody pirates!! I know the sword better than any man! He of all people should know that and then to expect the man I was to marry not to? Poor Carlton, I hope he didn't swallow that bunch of lies!!
He's one of the reasons I left,
I didn't love him; I didn't.
I fell in love with the sea;
I fell in love with freedom;
Freedom…
~*~*~*~*~
I will reach Port Royal by sunrise and then; then I will accomplish my goal, my goal of revenge.
For a father the worst thing that could happen is to loose a child…and so I plan to get revenge…
…By killing my sister;
My sister;
She stole the love my father had for me!
She never cared about me!
So why; why should I care if she dies in the process of my plan;
My plan for revenge…
I plan to kill my sister;
My sister;
Elizabeth!!
