You dont want to know where I uncovered it...But I'm sure you all remember a certain badger by the name of Constance? Yes, thats right maybe you'll listen a little closer as you read the story of her...betrayal..

**There was a time of a deep and dark betrayal within the walls of Redwall. No one knew of it until now but..what happened after that? Thats a different story...It was a bright and sunny day in Redwall. But dark and stormy for Constance the badger, she couldnt contain herself. She hated the rats, mice and everyone else with every fiber of her body. It was so difficult for her to act happy and like family around them..Maybe it was time for her plan to launch into action? No, he hasn't found out yet he doesnt know yet..he' s too innocent still. Constance shuffled quietly to a secret passage way leading to a cage. Inside that cage was..no not a rat but a mouse not to old but not to young of a mouse. He sat still watching her with observing eyes. This mouse..was Martin the Warrior, the warrior who everyone thought was dead. She sneered at him, she had beaten him in his own game, she could remember it like it was just yesterday. It was dark and rain had been beating down on her back but she stared with unblinking eyes at her opponent. "Constance..why? Why would you betray me, I thought..we were friends..why?" Martin said unmoved. Constance bared her teeth and snickered at him. "Did you honestly think that me a badger would waste my time at Redwall just because I was "grateful" that the Abbot took me in?" Constance let out a laugh. She didnt let down her guard though. "Martin, you can't beat me, you know i've been watching you ever since we first met. I know your every move...you can't beat me, you can't win..." She smiled evily. Martin stared and grimaced. "Good will always prevail Constance. Then, when I win everybody is going to know what you did to Redwall." He lunged at her. Constance swift as a feather dodged effortlessly away from the lunging mouse, grabbed his sword out of his hand and pinned Martin to the ground. She laughed. "Oh Martin you fool, your mine now." She knocked him out and tied him up, then she brought him here, to the cage where she now kept him. Later Martin awoke only to find himself tied up he goraned and looked up only to see Constance. Martin sighed with dispair and with a little bit of boredom with the sound of it. "Constance..what is it that you want from me that has led you to keep me here?" He looked suddenly old, as if the next breath he took would kill him instantly. She grabbed a small dagger from her pocket and threw it at him, purposely missing his ear. "I've kept you here because your part of my plan. We all know that silly little Matthias has solved the riddle and is probably out looking for your sword. So when I find him i'll have the sword and then i'll be the one to kill him." As she turned away she took out Martin's sword from a small hidden space and held it to his chin. "Then," She said smiling, "I'll enjoy it.﻿" She laughed out loud and left with the sword hidden beneath her fur. Martin's face was smeared with worry as he tried for the millionth time to swirm out of the bindings that held him there. "Blast it!" He yelled at himself. "Martin you are a warrior and warrior's do not just sit here on their** ** lazy butts and watch their son DIE!" He screamed with frustration and tugged furiously on his bindings. Eventually he was able to break loose from his bindings. Quickly he looked around for anything he could salvage to use again Constance. As he skimmed the room he found use of some spare rope, a dagger in the wall, a bottle of strange liquid, and a bag of food. He took his findings with him and made his way out of the secret passage. He stopped a minute as he thought to himself. "Should, I tell someone?" "he thought "I am alive, I mean shouldn't someone know about this? I can't tell them..not yet I must save Matthias!" He shook off the feeling of regret and ran out of Redwall and follwed the smell of Constance to the North. Meanwhile young Matthias was running wildly through the meadow searching for the spot where the sword should be at. Looking at the riddle in his hands he stumbled on a branch on the ground a fell hard on his back. Out of breath he was forced to lay there for what seemed like forever and stare at the ground till he could breath. By that time Constance was watching him quietly from behind a tree. She stared at him with hatred, she really wanted to kill him now while he was on his back but...she couldn't do it just yet. Slowly Matthias got back up and stared at the riddle he was close now but what he needed to do was get on top of a tree. He looked around to make sure that he hadn't been followed and ran out of site and climbed up a tree high above hidden by leaves. Constance blinked and looked around wide eyed, she had only looked away for a second and now the stupid mouse was gone! She walked into the open forgetting to hide and looked around taking out the sword just incase. Sitting upon a tree Matthias looked down and froze as he saw Constance standing there looking around with Martin the Warrior's sword. He was so glad with joy that he was about to run out to her but his legs wouldnt work but his ears did as he heard her talk to herself angerly. "Constance you stupid badger how could you loose site of a pathetic young fieldmouse?!?!? All you had to do was follow him until he gave up then kill him! Was that too hard too furfill?!?!" She striked the groundwith her sword in anger. From above Matthias held his breath and stared at Constance thinking to himself. "She..Constance, my so called old friend wanted to kill me?" He blinked slowly taking all of this in. He slid his hand towards his dagger and slowly slid it out. He didnt know why but he had a feeling she had something to do with Martin the Warrior. Quietly Matthias edged his way towards the end of the branch that he had been sitting on. Quietly he waited for the right moment as he watched Constance mutter to herself angerly. He jumped off the branch and onto Constance holding her against a tree with a dagger held tightly to her neck. A look of surprised crossed her face but it was quickly replaced by happiness. "Oh! Matthias its so good that you've shown up! I have found Martin's sword! Would you like to see it?" Constance said in a bright voice. But yet he sensed fear and nervousness in it too. "Cut the crap Constance we both know that we had something to do with Martin the Warrior's death and now you probably have his sword!" Matthias looked back to see the sword close to his foot, which he lifted it with it then felt it to her neck once more. "Matthias? What are you talking about?" Constance said surprisedly. Matthias's face was dark, "Constance, either you cut the crap and tell me what happened to Martin and what you did to him or else i'll go ahead and slit your throat." He said angerly. Constance's face darkened. "Matthias you pity mouse crap I care not about Martin the Warrior and if you must not I didnt kill him I took him as prisoner and right now he is slowly dying in his own wasteful filth as he has been for the past 7 years!" She sneered at him evily. Matthias shook off the feeling of pure shock and deepened the tip of the sword into her neck. "You will come with me and you will bring me to him understand?" He said fiercely. Constance's eyes were dark. "No Matthias..do you understand?" She squirmed out of his grip and pinned him down to the ground. "Did you honestly believe that you could beat me? You know that you'll never beat me Matthias not at my own game." She laughed quietly. Meanwhile Martin was running through the forest jumping over every vine ignoring the scratches he got from rushing through bushes. All that mattered now was getting to Matthias before it was too late. Martin stopped on his tracks suddenly hearing the rush of words comming from Constance. Slowly he retrieved his dagger and edged quietly up behind Constance. Not paying attention to anything but Matthias Constance retrived the sword and slowly inched its way up into Matthias's throat. Martin yelled a warrior's cry and sprung out at Constance he jumped on her back and jammed the dagger deep into her fur until he couldnt see it anymore. Constance fell silently to the ground. Of course young Matthias stood in awe watching Martin the Warrior. Martin suddenly looked very tired as he stood up slowy and looked up at Matthias, his son. "Matthias 'tis time you learn the truth." He told young Matthias the story of his birth and how he ended up here in Redwall. Matthias stood in shock for a minute then slowly looked up at M- no..his father. He had a father! Slowly they both gave each other a hug and together walked back to Redwall to tell the others of what had happened.** **This is the story of Constance's betrayal this is what really happened not the cutesy battle stuff this is the real deal people! :)**  **by: Crystal A**   **Editing Help and Artwork By Maddie Tarbutton<3** All pictures in artwork from creative commons
