River Of Tears, A Shabeke Fanfiction

A/N Based after Rise And Fall. When Shane betrayed her. I am not Alessia Cara: therefore I don't own "River Of Tears". I am not any of the authors of spirit animals either, so I don't own any of the characters or places mentioned.

She looked over at the drawer next to her bed at Greenhaven. In it, she kept everything that he had given her while they were allies. She kept the small things that reminded her of him. She kept the evidence that she thought their friendship would last forever. Forever: an empty promise. He had lied to her. He was the devourer.

She couldn't forget him, however hard she tried. She had thought that after the conquerors had killed Drina, his sister, that he might join them. She was wrong. He betrayed the greencloaks. He betrayed her. He stole the talismans. He was the devourer.

She wanted to drown in her sorrow, her tears. She wanted to get lost in her own emotions. No! She had to move on. She had to find the strength to let go. She had to be clean.She was crying and flooding her room. She wanted to fly away, far away. Away from Greenhaven. Away from the memories. Away, before she drowned in her tears.

She didn't need him. She didn't need him there. She could cope. There was still hope, even in this dark time. Even though he betrayed her. She loved him and now she had to face the consequences. She had to drown in a river of her own tears.She thought she caught his scent coming in from the window. She was reminded of their friendship, now gone. She still missed him. Everyday.

She had to move on now, or she never would. Her pillows and sheets were soaked with her tears. There was an ocean in her eyes, just like the one she had sailed over with him, while she was with the conquerors. She still had to fight the war. Fight the conquerors. Fight him. She realised that love brings people happy, beautiful things like flowers and secretly it has a coffin ready for them. Then they fall to their demise.

Abeke let the tears flow into a river. She had to let the tears out, or she would never be able to build a bridge out of this pit of sorrow she was rapidly sinking into. She had to get over this. She couldn't let memories become the death of her. She didn't need him. She was independent. She didn't need him here. Love can sink and die, for all she cared. Hope was there. Hope floated. All memories of him sunk. In the river of tears, Abeke floated. In the river of tears, Shane sunk.
