I wrote this a while ago, and therefore don't remember where I was going with it haha, and have only one more chapter to follow. I might write more if you like it? Please R&R.

Prologue

I had loved no one but her. I had hated no one but her. I had killed no one but her. I feared no one… but myself.

The vines that had once stroked his back with a gentle touch now clung to his fur and scratched at his flesh. The grass beneath his black paws that had once been soft and soothing now felt cold and painful as the blades poked into his pads.

Banished.

The words flickered in the tom's head, syncing with visions of a mangled body. Ginger fur dusted the ground. Crimson pooled on and around the body like liquid fire.

Banished.

Two other toms padded on either side of the plagued first. The vines stilled as the three bodies passed out of reach.

"I…" the black tom attempted at speech, but couldn't find the words. Anger and sorrow was as thick as the blackness of the night sky. The moon had long since been covered. The stars had temporarily ceased to shine.

Banished.

The tom on the first's right, his white tail dragging on the shadowed ground, had dark blue eyes that were wet and churning with so many emotions it was hard to distinguish one from the other. "How… How could you?" he spat, though his voice was broke with sorrow, "You… I thought… You loved her. I thought you loved her? How…?"

His voice faded until all that could be heard was the quiet thump of each step the toms took.

The black tom looked in turn at the cats on either side of him.

What have I done?
