This is just a short poem about Ashfur. I don't know why, but the idea just came to me.
Warning: if you haven't read up to Long Shadows, then this will be a spoiler.
I don't want to spoil anything, so that's the last warning.
Otherwise, let's get to the point.
Betrayal
Jealousy… it's the word one may use for this situation
But not me
I call it…
Betrayal
I thought you loved me, but I guess I was wrong
I doubt I was the only one who thought so
But you left me! You chose him and not me
That hurt worse than you can possibly imagine
The only thing that seemed right, the only thing to repay for all this pain…
Was to take the most important thing away from you
That's what I planned, and swore to carry it out
Until the truth came out
When I realized the kits weren't yours, it didn't give me satisfaction
There was nothing I could do anymore to take my revenge
Or so I thought
A brilliant idea came to me
Exploit her secret; cause her agony from the Clans
To the dark holly, bright jay and shaded lion...
It's not personal
Well… maybe just a little
To the tangled bramble, we both got cheated, we both got hurt
And yet, I feel no sympathy to you
But to the leaves floating in the wind, I'm sorry
I didn't want it to come to this
However, to the ebony feathers
This was not my fault, but yours
I offer you nothing in contrast
Except harsh words you shall never hear
I wish I could've told my story to the Clans
Maybe then I would be seen as a poor soul that should be praised as a hero
But my life was ended!
I was killed by the last cat I would've expected
As was the rest of the Clan
For now, I wish to just cause enough pain as I can
Even if I can no longer do it physically…
For no cat shall dare forget my name
Or I'll come after them from where I now resided
Even though I think of myself as a hero, I am seen as a villain for the things I planned to do
That is my story of my…
Betrayal
There it is, Betrayal. If you liked it, please review, if you didn't, well at least you read it… Hopefully…
Sayonara!
