And So it Began.
Chapter 1:
Bolt's Promise.
Medusa was considered one of the most beautiful Inhumans ever, and she took pride in that, rightfully so.
Black Bolt, as he preferred to be called, was strong, powerful, righteous, and everything people look for in their king, but as Medusa saw him, he was unfeeling, hollow, and incapable of love, and you can't blame a girl for believing what she had always heard and seen.
"But, mother, I don't love him!" She cried, tears falling off her face, "And isn't that the whole point of marrying someone? Loving them?"
Ambur had had enough of this nuisance, pinching the bridge of her nose, she said, "Meddie. Where is this coming from? You have been born to be a queen, you've known your whole life about your betrothal, then why-?"
"He can't even talk!" She snapped, "He won't make me laugh, he won't tell me he loves me-if he's even capable of it! Do you want me to live like this?" She pleaded with her mother through her eyes. Why did she not understand?
"Enough. Go get some fresh air. We are not talking about this." Ambur ordered. The guilt weighed heavily in her chest, but there were things that just needed to be done. She watched her daughter walk away in tears.
"And so we lose this one.." She whispered.
"Stupid." SPLASH. "Impudent." SPLASH. "Idiots!" With a scream, she threw a huge rock into the water with her hair. "Perfect! Now I have to wash it again." Medusa grumbled.
She had passed the crying stage and moved on to the angry stage. In the time to come, she would laugh at her foolish, teenage mind. How shallow and inexperienced she had been, but for now the storm continued to rage inside her.
I deserve someone better, she thought, like Maximus! Someone who can tell me how beautiful I am, and tell me he loves me! "And Blackagar, can't to any of that." She spat.
BLACK BOLT'S P.O.V
As Medusa continued to voice her frustration, the king stood some distance from her, listening. A small smirk made its way to his lips.
"She wants someone that can speak, does she?" He started walking back towards his chambers, "I'll speak louder than anyone she has ever met. Promise."
