Have you ever betrayed someone's confidence? Has anyone ever betrayed you? Write a ficlet on the theme of betrayal.


Michael's decided he wants to answer this one too...


*snort* Betrayal. Has anyone betrayed me? How long do you have, because there's quite a list. However, we'll start with The Knights of the Holy Order... or at the very least, whichever assinine Cardinal it was after Jinette who decided to murder my friar. Oh, they'll tell you it was just a disease of old age - something genetic; something he would have contracted anyway. But I know different! I know what they did. I know that they developed something and gave it to him. I don't know exactly what; I don't know exactly how; and I don't know exactly why - I just know that they're responsible.

And Carl's dead.

How is that betrayal? Funny. They knew what they were doing. They knew that it would damn near kill me if anything happened to Carl, yet they did it anyway. They. Did. It. Anyway.

Murder.

How is that NOT betrayal? They murdered him. Lover, friend, confident.

Oh, the whole lot of you can bite me.
