Warning: This has mentions of suicide which can be upsetting for some 

I pace around my tent while the others watch silently.
"His army has repelled most of our attacks. They always seem prepared. They also always have their best warriors there."
It had been racking my brain for months now, there was no way he could be that lucky, but I couldn't fathom the possibility of a mole.
Not when I only told our plans to my friends.
"So... we have a mole. That's the only explanation. The problem is, who?"
They all glance at each other with questioning looks.
"No, I trust all of you. There isn't a mole."
I glare at them and they stopped the staring and glancing.
"Well, if there isn't a mole, how is he doing this?"
"I don't know... I need to clear my head."
I walk outside to a cliff.
It was my favorite place to go, it was dangerous, but it always felt calm and peaceful.

I hadn't been by myself in a while, it was nice.
Then my head started hurting. It was hurting so much and I didn't know what was wrong. Tears sprung to my eyes and I curled up into a ball. What was wrong with me?
Then I hear a deep, awful, rememberable voice.

"Hello granddaughter. I was waiting to catch you by yourself."
My eyes widen and I spring up.
"Where are you? How did you find me?"
I couldn't see him, but I could almost feel him smiling.
"I'm in my base Luna. Now how did I find you... well."
"In your base? So, you're not actually here?"
"You catch on quickly, granddaughter."
I bit my lip.
"So... you're in my head?"
"Yes. Now haven't you been wondering how I'm always so prepared?"
The gears start shifting in my head and I clasp my hand over my mouth.
"I-I am the m-mole?"
My voice becomes high pitched and tears start rolling down my face.
"Yes, now you really don't help your little rebellion anymore now do you? You can just come over to my base and we can be a duo. The most powerful people in this world."

I couldn't hear him after that. I couldn't hear him after that. My head was swarmed with thoughts and I couldn't concentrate.

Mistake
You aren't meant to be a leader
"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!"
You are the mole
Noah doesn't like you, he just wants your power
"I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU ARE THE LEADER OF A REBELLION!"
You can never be happy
You are meant to suffer
You can't escape your family
"YOU ARE JUST LIKE YOUR GRANDFATHER!"
Your friends are better off without you
All you've done is bring pain into their lives
"SHUT UP!"
Jump off.
And, I did.
