Betrayed

The first thought i remember having: Am I dead? No, I thought to myself. If I had been dead, surely it would not be this uncomfortable, this tremendously painful. How I was able to follow even the faintest train of thought, I do not know. Certainly I was on the verge of death. With multiple stabs, and lacerations from those traitors' knives, who could possibly survive? The answer: no one. I am proof, I am dead.
Those few minutes before my death were the most agonizing moments of my life. My son, what will happen to Fleance? Will he become King someday? Or will he end up betrayed and murdered, like his father? I hope he is safe.
My supicions were correct! Macbeth is behind this. He is behind EVERYTHING!
But, who am I to criticize Macbeth for taking actions that resulted in the prophecy becoming reality? Have I not done the same? If I had confronted him from the beginning, if I hadn't let him take the throne, everything could have been avoided. But no, I myself was caught up in the Wicthes' prophecy. Believing that changing the path things were already on might result in Fleance never having a chance to rule. I was right however, the decisions I took are what led to my death. The propehcy for me also came to be true. I will never be a King....as I am already dead, but I shalt get Kings.
Both Macbeth and I brought this upon ourselves.
I have been ultimately betrayed. Betrayed by my comrade and King, Macbeth, Betrayed by the false hopes of the Witches' prophecy, Betrayed by my own decisions.
I have but one wish, the well being of my son, Fleance.

Macbeth has been crowned King. It is now believed that Malcom and Donalbain murdered their father. Such terrible thoughts! The newly appointed King seems to be convinced that they have done it. My views differ from his. I met with him earlier today, Lady Macbeth also, and was invited to tonights banquet.
Again I find my mind full of questions. If the King's sons had committed the murder, what reasons would they have? If for the crown, then why flee? ....And the Witches, their prophecy came to be true! Not a single person would have been able to even begin to think such thoughts. He has it all now, King, Cawdor, Glamis, everything, just as was promised by those weird women.
But I fear that the once loyal Macbeth has lended a helping hand to help his destiny. My suspicions may most likely be true, Macbeth may most likely have murdered Duncan! But for now I stay quiet. Now I realize the words of the Three Witches hold truth.
If their prophecy for Macbeth has been fulfilled, who is to say my prophecy will not come true as well? If i were to confront Macbeth right now, to prove his guilt, to kill him, the order of my destiny may also change. Curiosity wars with Reason. I should confront Macbeth! But thoughts of my son as King restrain me... At this moment I shall do nothing, time will tell what is to come.

The King, our great king has been murdered! Macbeth is the new King. The witches prophecy was right. Macbeth and I are the only ones that know of the witches prophecy. I can only wonder who could of murdered the king, who could of wanted to do such a cruel and nasty thing. King Duncan was such a kind and loving ruler.He had done no wrong for one to haev the evil inside of them to murder him! I can only imaguin who this traitor could be.... There is one name that comes to mind. Macbeth?Could it be? I don't want to believe this but could it be that Macbeth is the murderer, did he so desperately want the crown. I don't know what to believe, I tried confronting him...... Is this the work of the evil of the witches playing with Macbeth's mind? If Macbeth is the King does that mean that it will also be true that my children will be King? My son, will he one day rule? Is this how the words of the three witches will come true? Is this prophecy also going to come true? These witches...... can they really see the future.... For now I don't know what shall be done, they king's sons are being accused, but i fear differently..... for can it be true that Macbeth so deperately wanted this tittle? Has he not have enough?I worry and fear the worst....... Is Macbeth the Loyal to King Duncan or is he his murderer......
