The first and the last bite has been in a contest for best-tasting since the beginning of time. If asked, the rook would certainly say the answer was obvious. If not, the matter would never come up or even cross her mind. Her tendency to disregard romanticism could make for unappreciated days. There had been a beautiful sunset the day the water of the beach almost swept her away. If she'd stopped to admire it- the dazzling visage of a burning ball sinking into the ocean- she wouldn't have brushed death for what could have been the final time. Then again, if she hadn't slipped, she never would have met him,
There were a lot of things Miss Havisham despised. The ocean, rivers, lakes- most large bodies of water- religion, death without honor, laziness, disloyalty, and being left behind. Most of all, however, she hated love. And she loved to hate.
The dizzying emotion was absolutely pointless. At no point in her life had it ever resulted in anything good for anyone. It always resulted in heartbreak and death and oh-so-many tears wasted on a futile feeling. Lady had loved Wolfgang, the irritable leader who, despite taking one as a mate, could never see the true value of a woman or how strong one could really be. It would destroy him to find out she had once led a few leaders after he vanished. And what had that done? It certainly benefitted him while he was there, but it only hurt her mother, triggering her despair and keeping her from finding happiness again. Miss had always wanted to get rid of the guy, and not because he'd hated her for being an illegitimate child.
One could be there all day if the calico told of all the instances love had proven catastrophic. Her amber eyes screwed shut as she continued chewing. Only a few moons ago, it seemed, she'd held a seminar to teach her clanmates how to steal someone's heart and perpetuated the very thing she now was seeing for its true form.
Why was this even on her mind? It wasn't like there was anyone she was interested in at the moment. From afar, friends were already impossible, nevermind romantic partners. It couldn't have been Ringpaw's latest visit. They'd agreed to go on a date ages ago. She couldn't even remember the euphoria that compelled her to like the dog in the first place. There was no chance of 'getting back together' when they had never been a true pair.
For all the judgement Miss flattered herself for thinking she'd developed, the memories that had shaped it were a curse. Reminiscing only caused them to fester like an infection, and there was no one in reach or alive who could possibly understand her. No one who knew her for what she could really be.
And that was the way it had to be. With a home in danger, no one needed a friend. They needed leadership. Ingenuity. That patriotic feeling that thrilled them and made them know, without a doubt, that the Skulls was theirs and would never be allowed to die. They needed Rolan- No. They needed her.
Finally swallowing, the calico sighed and pushed the freshkill away. Her frail body became more skeleton-like with every passing day.
