A/N: My inspiration for this chapter's response came from Jasper's line in chapter 24, when talking to Carlisle:
Carlisle: "I wouldn't say worn down but my mind is certainly... overworked. This has been a lot to handle as I'm sure you can understand. Though not impossible to see, just..."
Jasper: "Incredible, heartbreaking, unbelievable, disappointing," I offered. "I can give you twenty more if you'd like."
Those words stuck with me throughout the entire chapter. Two other words stuck out in this chapter as well, unavoidable and fear. What came to mind for my reply to this kickass chapter, was a sestina.
"A sestina (also, sextina, sestine, or sextain) is a highly structured poem consisting of six six-line stanzas followed by a tercet (called its envoy or tornada), for a total of thirty-nine lines. The same set of six words ends the lines of each of the six-line stanzas, but in a different order each time; if we number the first stanza's lines 123456, then the words ending the second stanza's lines appear in the order 615243, then 364125, then 532614, then 451362, and finally 246531. This organization is referred to as retrogradatio cruciata ("retrograde cross"). These six words then appear in the tercet as well, with the tercet's first line usually containing 6 and 2, its second 1 and 4, and its third 5 and 3." - en(dot)wikipedia(dot)orgwiki/Sestina
Now there...ya learned something. Thanks for reading.
And We All Get Second Chances: A Response to Chapter 24 of Someday
Turning points provide us with incredible
possibilities to our once heartbreaking
existence, giving us an unbelievable
glimpse of a future we thought disappointing.
Yet it always comes at a price, a price unavoidable
that will sometimes drive us into our deepest fear.
But still, things are changing and that fear
no longer carries the burden that was so incredible.
It carries with it the truth beyond unavoidable,
making our souls twitch and bend; heartbreaking
is the pain that pulls us through, but not disappointing,
for the true rewards are unbelievable.
Now as the Iron Maiden changes, her beauty unbelievable,
she is entrusted to the brother in arms and venom. No fear
from the Dark Prince as his second chance is not disappointing,
progressing as it should, making the start of his someday incredible,
even as the woes of his old "family" is their heartbreaking.
But as he said before, their truths uprooting was unavoidable
The broken mother's burning glory was unavoidable,
restarting her mate's life in a way he thought so unbelievable.
While he still grieves his first companion, heartbreaking
it is for him, but now knowing that being without her is worse; fear
is what kept him sane, but the truth is crazily incredible-
to embrace his true instincts within, not at all disappointing
And let us not forget the seeing child; disappointing
they all could not fully see like her that this was unavoidable,
that when her love lost, mind fracturing, she purposed an incredible
plan to keep the last piece close, really not so unbelievable
that for her, this was all that was left, there was no fear,
just the plan to keep the memory safe, her connection to the heartbreaking.
Thus embarks the spilt family through the heartbreaking-
The Dark Prince and the Reborn Leader, neither disappointing
in what they are and their place, dashing away the fear,
creating this newfound respect of being what is naturally unavoidable,
dissolving the with the Dogs of War, the solidifying end of the charade, so unbelievable-
Taking the Dark Prince's lessons and showing his beast so incredible.
No more fear or undeserving heartbreaking-
Just the someday becoming incredible with hopes of not disappointing-
Still one last task unavoidable and a request that will be unbelievable…
