Lacking
Author's Notes: Let's see, this was written in 10 minutes during school, if that says anything about its quality. I didn't want to be forgotten while I put the finishing touches on Beyond the Shadows' first chapter. I know it's far too short to be anything good, but just be nice when you review. That's all.

I thought her friendship was something I could always count on.
In a world that teeters with uncertainty, a life that sways with unpredictability, I thought it was safe to see her as the anchor, the one who could steady my life's constant swaying. But she showed me otherwise. She shook the thin rope that symbolizes my life harder than it had ever been shaken. She was my best friend, and I assumed I was hers, too.
She always said I was.
After all those glorifying victories, she would give me this look, with this gleam of something indescribable reflecting in her eyes, a small smile tugging at the sides of her mouth, and she would kiss my eyelids and whisper in my velvety ears one simple, meaningful, one that seemed all too true. That word was "Forever…."
And I, in my discreet and trusting nature, believed her despite the fact I had faced betrayal once before in my life. I gave her my heart and showed her my soul, but worst of all, I trusted she would never break them.
I remember I would lie in her lap as she stroked my fur, and she would tell me stories of how we would make it to the top… together. And I would purr in contentment as she reached the climax of how we would beat Lance's dragons. And after the story was over (she would always end it with "And after we are the very best, we can still travel together, more loyal a pair of friends than anyone has ever seen.") she would unveil battle strategies to me until I fell asleep to dream of my preeminent future.
But my pleasant dreams have twisted now into a feverish nightmare. It's too bad it's the kind you can never wake up from.
So here I sit, so far from her warm embraces and caring ambition, tears streaming down my face as I realize I can never go back to that.
Like a mirror, my life has shattered into a million pieces, never to be reassembled. She found a stronger partner, abandoned me, proof that she didn't love me; she loved my power. And it's all because I entrusted her with my delicate heart, so much more fragile than that of a human's, and found out the hard way what she lacked.
Loyalty.

Author's Notes: It's short and it stinks, I know, just a spur of the moment thing. Just don't be too harsh! Thanx in advance, I'll be back soon with a real story.
