A/N – Well, I hope you enjoy this story?! It just came to me one day and please Review??? Please?? Anyways, without further ado, I give to you...
Chapter 1: Plotting my revenge
I stared into my mother's brown orbs and I notice her pain for the millionth time! I shall avenge my father's death! That I promise you mother. "Mother, are you alright?" I asked my mother, though I knew the truth behind it all, I remember it all to well!!
Flash back
"Hector!! Hector!!! Come out you coward!! Come out and fight me like a man!!! Hector!!" I could still hear those screams from the man that murdered my father! Yes, Hector was my father and that brute Achilles killed my father!!
"Andromache, I must fight him! You know that, I killed his cousin and now he wants to kill me! Remember what I told you to do! Remember! I love you Andromache, and you too Astyanax! Make me proud!!"
He said with such courage in his voice. My father was thinking about us while on his way to death! He was such a noble man and he deserved to be remembered for what he did for us! For me! My mother, muffling her sobs with her hands! I couldn't stand to look at her, the sight made me shiver! I loved my mother and my father and I didn't want them to get hurt anymore than they already were! But what could I do? I was a baby for crying out loud! I could do nothing but watch my father for the last time!
"Don't go!! Please? For Astyanax!! Please, don't leave us Hector!" I cried at those words!! My mother crying out to my father, but him being such an incredible man, just walked off to his doom! My mother fell to the ground.
"Come Andromache, sit by me! My son is strong! I know he will win this for you, Astyanax and most importantly for Troy!" Grandpa Priam said this. He was an old man! But like all other kings, not that I don't respect him, well lets just say he made some very foolish choices for Troy and now my father had to pay for them!
"I watched my father, I always watched him go into battle with his men! But this time, he was alone and I was scared... He can't lose this battle, because... He made me a promise, he said he would teach me to be a warrior and that I would fight by his side when I grow up!! "Daddy!!!" I screamed in my thoughts!!! No, it can't! How can he be so ruthless?? He killed my father!! My mother dropping to her knees! My father, he's dead!!!
I will avenge you father! I promise you that!
Flash back ends
"Astyanax? He's waking up!!! My lady he's waking up!!" I heard someone screaming.
"O my baby!! He's awake!!" My mother screamed this at me while holding me so tightly I couldn't breathe.
"M o t h e r, l e t g o..." I stuttered breathlessly at my mother.
"O dear, sorry darling... It's just that you passed out again! And I was so scared!!" my mother said while hugging me to death again. I was starting to change color till my mother finally noticed. "Sorry, it's just that I don't want to lose you like I lost......" she stopped talking with these words but I finished her sentence for her:
"Like you lost dad?" She looked at me as if angry but I saw those tears again and her expression, I knew that expression... I was the one when my father died! Tears started in my eyes too but I quickly wiped them away before anyone noticed. "Mother, I'm going to my room! Jamie, take my mother to her room and try to comfort her as much as possible!" I said and then left walking towards my room, I felt as if I was being watched when I left towards my room, I turned around and I noticed Jamie looking at me and quickly looked away. "Girls!" I muttered, I knew that Jamie liked me, but I just don't like her! She was just too much for me.
My bedroom is like every other person's bedroom, well if you still don't know, one word – Dull! Anyways, I have pictures that my father drew of my everywhere in my room! He was such a great artist, I try to draw like him, ever since I was seven, I drew him as I remembered. I have a clear view of how my father looked and I can still remember his voice and everything about him! But for no reason at all, the Gods had to destroy the thing that I loved most! My family! I'm seventeen now, it's been about fourteen years since my father's death and since I made that promise to my father. But the thing is Uncle Paris killed Achilles already but I've made the Gods a deal, since Paris has done his avenging for his age group, I shall do mine! Everyone knows that Achilles has a child! Aunty Briseis is looking out for the child! And before anyone realizes anything, BAM, he'll be dead with just one swift blow like he did to my father!! But since I'm the gentleman, I'm waiting till he can hold a sword! And then I will challenge him to a duel and then my promise will be fulfilled!! I mean I love Aunty Briseis and all, but her husband killed my father and revenge shall be mine!!!
"Astyanax?" A voice interrupted my thoughts. Now what? I turned around and I noticed Jamie standing by my door.
"What do you want Jamie?" I said with anger in my voice, she's always interrupting me whenever I have something on my mind, well the only thing that is ever on my mind.
"Your mother says that you missed your schooling today(just pretend that they went to school like we have now a days)!" Jamie said carefully, obviously noticing the anger in my voice.
"So?! I passed out, what is wrong with you people and school? I don't belong there!!! I just want to fight and train that's all! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I screamed at Jamie but obviously she wasn't getting the picture seeing as she was coming closer to me.
"What are you doing? I want to make you happy Astyanax and I know that you want me too!" She said in the most seductive voice I've ever heard. "Why don't I give you a neck massage?" she said motioning for me to lie down.
"No, first give the message to my mother than I might consider your request! Now leave me!" I said and I watched her expression, she was frowning and I tried my best to keep form laughing that I coughed it out instead.
"Fine, I'll be back!" She said and went towards me but I pushed her off my bed. "Hmph!"
"Go already or I'll do more damage to you!" I said with a smirk on my face, I wanted her to stay now so I could do much more damage to her!
"Fine!" and she left my room... I breathed out a sigh of relief. Why did we hire her in the first place? I think we were either desperate or just plain crazy!
I looked out my window and out to the horizon, the sun was busy setting. Man, I must have passed out for a long time! It's getting late and I know for a fact that I have to go to school tomorrow if I want to carry on with my sword training... SWORD TRAINING!!! I'm late!!! I started running, pass the kitchens, passed the dining room and all the guest rooms and out into the yard and into the plain! Man, is Joshua going to be angry!
"Late again I see!" I know that voice... Joshua...
"Joshua, I'm so sorry... I..." I got interrupted.
"If your not going to give it all you've got I see no point in trying to train you Astyanax!" Joshua said with a calm but cruel tone.
"Sorry, it won't happen again... I promise you!" I said another promise that I was hoping to keep.
"Like your other promises?" Joshua said grinning this time.
"No, this time, I want it, I want to be the best! I want... I want to make my father proud!" I said holding back my tears.
"Good, well enough chit chat!" He threw me a sword and it began, we fought with our wooden swords and we trained till it was really really dark and till Joshua was satisfied. "Your getting better Astyanax!" Joshua said praising my efforts to attack him.
"Thanks, I've been training in all my free time!" I said hoping he would forget about what happened before.
"Yeah, your mother told me that!!" He said with some what of a smirk forming. "I told her that was good to hear but than I think she got really disgusted in me because she said that it's my fault you stopped caring in school!" He said quite seriously this time.
"O..." And with that both me and Joshua burst into laughter and we were practically in tears with all the laughing.
When we finally stopped laughing and wiped all our tears away my mother came as from nowhere and man, she looked really angry. "Astyanax, what are you doing out here in the midst of the night? Well? Answer me!!" She said with such an angry tone, hey why was she only yelling at me? I mean, I looked around, o boy, Joshua's gone already and he didn't even warn me my mother was there! Some friend he is! "That's it Astyanax! Inside this instant!!!"
"Sorry mom, it's just, I... I... yeah, I went out for a stroll and for some fresh air!" I said congratulating myself for my brilliance once again.
"Really? Is that so? Well enough with that, I want you to go to bed and you better be at school tomorrow or I'm banning you from seeing Joshua and form training! Do we understand one another?" How can she read through me all the time? It's like she knows exactly what I'm thinking, and she knew that Joshua was here, is he going to get in trouble?
"Is J...." I got interrupted yet again. "No, he won't if you promise to go to school!" My mother pleaded with me and I noticed a yawn, she hasn't slept much I could see, you can't blame her and I bet she came out here like she does almost every night.
"Ok mom, you win... I'll go to school!" I said with a defeated voice.
"Good!" Man, you can see that she loves being the victor, but there was still that sadness in her voice.
I will avenge father!!!
"Come mom, let me tuck you into bed!" As I said this my mother gave me one of her rare smiles...
"Alright dear!" and we walked and talked all the way to her bedroom...
I will avenge you father! For you and for mother! No one and I mean no one can destroy my family and get away with it! No one! Beware my little cousin, beware!! I will come for you, me and you have some business to settle!!
