Fairytale Gone Wrong
(*)
He was your best friend
Since before you can
R e m e m b e r
With those
darkdark eyes and that softsoft hair
And you
F e l l for him
And he felt the same
And you were
inseparable,
togetherforever,
You thought.
(*)
But your f a m i l y,
so different from all the others,
gives you and him a task
And you follow their orders
Because you're ohsonaive
And you both think that
Family
And
L o v e
Will conquer all,
Don't you?
(*)
You do your job-
You find the clues,
Give them to your family
Because that's the o n l y r e a s o n
You're with him
Instead of
Him
Since what better way to
i n f i l t r a t e
A group, an organization, a family
Than by becoming one of them?
And you keep it up,
You keep s p y i n g
(Just like they want you to)
Because it's just a relationship
And you can end it anytime,
R i g h t ?
(*)
But then, your family
w a n t s m o r e
They want you to
m a r r y him,
the one you don't love,
And for him to marry her.
And you don't want to,
You hatehatehate it,
But your other option is getting
k i l l e d
so you and him a g r e e
To do it
To pretendfakelie
That you love a n o t h e r
(*)
It's ohsowrong
(And you know it)
But you stay with him
Even though you're both
m a r r i e d
and not to each other
(But when you're with him, you can overlookthat fact
Because you're togetherforever again
And e v e r y t h i n g
is bliss)
(*)
And then, all of the sudden, it's
o v e r
He's done,
Because he has a b a b y on the way
With her,
And your wordspleastears
Fall on d e a f ears
Because he's always valued family
Even more than you
(*)
It's a
f a i r y t a l e
gone wrong,
And your life is
torn
a p a r t
All because of a
rivalry
with your husband's family
from c e n t u r i e s ago that
no one knows who started
(And it's just not fair,
Because you did
e v e r y t h i n g
right)
(*)
So you d i s o w n yourself,
Turn your back on t h e m all
And hunt and trick and kill
To win
Because it would be the
u l t i m a t e
r e v e n g e
To help the enemy family
Beat yours,
Since that was what your family wanted you to
p r e v e n t
In the first place.
(*)
And each time you see him
With her
You get that tiny bit more
r u t h l e s s
And that little tad more
h e a r t l e s s
(But not really, because
you wouldn't be like this
if you didn't have a heart,
now would you?)
(*)
And winning becomes
All you have left
And you will do anything to
a c h i e v e i t
Because you will nevereverever
Forgive them
For taking him from you
(*)
So you l e t people speculate
About what made you ohsocruel
And somehow they never guess r i g h t
Because you're Isabel Kabra
(VesperVesperVesper)
And there's just n o w a y
That you could have ever been
Cousins
B e s t f r i e n d s
Lovers
With a
pushoverharmlesstheworld'sbestactor
Like
B r o d e r i c k W i z a r d

Alright, I feel like I have a bit of explaining to do with this one. You see, I wrote this in this little style called FREE VERSE. I've only seen it in the Harry Potter fandom so far, and I thought it would be neat to try- besides, it worked better for my idea than for anything else. Yes, some words have been combined. Yes, I could have a few more punctuation marks in some places. But from what I understand, free verse is as much about how the story looks as it is about the quality of the writing. So, please, forgive me if I'm not up to my usual level with grammar; it was intended, I promise you.
On a lighter note, you have my latest unusual couple: Isabel/Broderick. XD
Now, just in case this was confusing (which is probably was), I'll explain it:
In my crazy mind, I see Broderick and Isabel as being part of the Vesper family. (Isabel is half Vesper, half Lucian, hence her maiden name being Vesper-Hollingsworth. I think that Broderick is a Vesper because not only does he have 3 more clues than his wife and son know about- and why would he have them without his family knowing unless he was a Vesper?- but in the 4th card pack, Grace speculates about him being "V".) During their childhood, they were best friends, and they grew up and fell in love- the typical fairytale, you see? But their family, the Vespers, wanted them to spy on the Cahills by getting together with the future heads of two of the branches- Broderick with Cora, and Isabel with Vikram. So, Isabel and Broderick did that. Eventually, they were forced to marry their respective Cahills, but even after this, they continued having an affair with each other. This ended when Cora became pregnant with Jonah, because Broderick valued family, and didn't want his son to have a cheating father. Isabel blames the loss of her love on the Vespers, so she sides completely with the Cahills from then on, and does whatever it takes to find all of the 39 Clues, because she thinks that if she succeeds, it will be revenge against the Vespers for making her and Broderick stop loving each other.
Makes sense? Eh, I don't blame you if it doesn't. Anyways, please, please, PLEASE review! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this new pairing, AND this new writing style!
Thanks,

P.S. DISCLAIMER: I own nothing.
P.P.S. I haven't read the 10th book yet, so if I screwed up any details in there, I'm sorry.
