[A/N] It's been a LONG time since I last posted something here. I haven't really been writing a lot of oneshots, and the ones I did write weren't worth submitting or are part of an in-progress Themes Challenge that won't be posted until all prompts are finished. Either way, I have been very inactive and I'm sorry for not coming back with something better.
This little drabble here is a challenge from Tumblr. A friendly anon challenged me to write a Dartz-centric drabble with 1 line from the song "Your Star" by Evanescence. I chose the line "And I'm alone now" as the prompt. Anon and other readers, I hope you enjoy it!

Once again, I have been betrayed
I was close
So close
And yet I failed
How many times have I failed?
I trusted them, and yet
They left me when I needed them
Turned against me
Fought me
Me
The one who raised them
Who took them in
When no one wanted them
Ungrateful fools
They may yet serve my purpose
Their souls have been taken
And I
I am alone now
But one day
One day
I will succeed
