Wavering Love
Chapter 1: Squabbling Women
"No he will not!"
"Oh, yes he will!"
"No!" His mother paid no attention to the selfish pleas of her child's whining. She continued with her present chore of unraveling the fine, but unused, bed sheets for the new bedroom; which was once an old storage room. "Achilles, my child..." The old women gracefully waltzed away from the bed only to stroke her child's cheek in comfort. "She has been a sister to me all my childhood. The least I could do for her is to take in her son. Why resent the idea of it all?"
Achilles withdrew from his strong signature pose of standing tall and crossing his arms by dropping them and taking Thetis' hand. "If he is as strong and clever as the messenger said, then why do we have to shelter him?" He shunned her hand away, as if tossing a forgotten apple that has shown its rotten colors. "He's old enough to hunt, and shelter himself! Why do we have to continue like he is nothing but a child?" Thetis turned her back towards her son and resumed with making the bed. Her last words of reasoning with Achilles were spoken no more then a whisper. "Well, looks like you won't be accepting in taking in the boy."
"Yes mother! I will never allow for that rouge to stay with us!"
"WELL YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! HE'S STAYING!" Anger and frustration bloomed over her marble complexion. Those snarling features were very much familiar to Achilles. The eyes told of another face that all mothers carry. One that shows the power over her offspring. A look of this was not to be taken lightly. Even back in that age it wasn't. No child, no matter how powerful, has the power to look into those eyes and not fear of seeing them again. Achilles stormed out of the room. Defeated once again by his quick witted mother. Before the warrior son left the room to his mother, he mumbled a comment. Just so he can think he's had the last word. "The room looks dreadful in red!"
This is only one chapter. Every week, at the least, I will add another. But please tell me how you think this one is. Questions? Oh! If you've read my first story, then you would have gotten the little joke Achilles said of the 'red room'. I thought that the reason why most didn't read my last story, Forbidden Gods, was because the first chapter had 5 others in it. My bad! I didn't know how to break everything up. But now I know, so I have more faith in this one. This is more of the prequel of Forbidden Gods. Stay tuned!
