A/N: Ok, I've had one review on this so far...and I was told there were grammatical mistakes. To me that is unacceptable, and since I wrote the three chapters so quickly last night I've decided to clean them up a bit. Keep in mind as you're reading this story that it's meant just to be a sappy little drivel and not an intricate angsty novel. The chapters are short, the story is shorter...It's just to keep me from going crazy until the next book comes out. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Love is…complicated. That's probably the best word I could use to describe it. You meet a man for a brief moment and know instantly he's trouble. Yet you find yourself inexplicably drawn to him. Quickly you push the thought out of your head. "It's not him," you say to yourself. "I've not had enough water today. I'm just a bit light headed." You're able to quickly forget the thought and move on. And then you run into him again and you feel your traitorous body betray you a second time. It was easy to blame it on dehydration one time, but it's hard to brush off the tingles running up your spine a second time. Despite the scars on his face you can't help but adore his smile. Again and again you encounter him. You know nothing can come of your attraction. You're polar opposites, light and dark, sweet and bitter…and yet you find you can't stay away from him. There's something in his eyes that draws you in. Something that makes you lose your breath when he brushes by you just a bit too close. Something that fills your stomach with warmth when you catch him staring at you. Something that makes you burn with desire when you realize he doesn't care that you've caught him.
What's that? Am I speaking of myself? Mind your manners child! Where would you get such an idea from? I've not had time for such things as that. The law was my only lover. Nabbing Rats until my body was too old to run them down. No no I made other choices in life. Ah, yes the child. 'Tis something I've been asked about for many a year. All right I guess you could say I did love once. Loved enough to have a child. I wanted to be normal…just for a day. Have normal cares and normal responsibilities…but it wasn't to be.
Who's the father you ask? Haha child people have asked me that same question over and over. I didn't give it up to my closest friends what makes you think I'll give his identity to you? Why of course my son knows who his father is. I wouldn't keep it from him. But he's chosen to keep it quiet for reasons he doesn't share with me. Perhaps he likes to have something secret for himself. It's not easy growing up with a mother that is known to every Rat on the street. Ah yes the rumors that it was that Rogue, Rosto the Piper. Did you not also hear the tales that it was my partner Tunstall, or maybe my dear friend Ersken having a tryst behind his own love's back? Or that a Rat forced himself on me and I was too ashamed to admit it. Many rumors have been spread about it love. You can't believe every whisper you hear.
Oh dear me child I am much too old for all this pestering. If you weren't my own gods-child I'd throw you out on your rump into the street! All right, if it's a tale you want it's a tale you'll get, but mind you I was young then, not much older than you. The decisions I made then were based off of my heart, and not my head. Would I go back and change things? Maybe. Doubtful. The decisions I made then led me to where I am today, and I am happy. I would prefer if things could have been somewhat different…if he could still be here with me instead of ––Ah! But I get ahead of myself. I'll start at the beginning…
It started back in my third year being a Dog…
A/N: So hopefully you liked it, now if you'd be so kind as to review, and let me know what you think...
