Chapter 2: fate can be kind, but it can also be cruel! VERY CRUEL!
I jolted awake at the sound I heard in my room, I heard the floor creaking as if someone was there. I was lying still and I heard it again. "Who's there?" I asked although I was nervous I tried not to show it.
"Are you awake already? I thought you were asleep Astyanax!" It was the same seducing voice, I knew it, Jamie.
"What do you want Jamie?" I said, though I still didn't know where she was, I started scanning my room when I felt a plop on my bed.
"Astyanax tell me that you love me, I know you do, I know I love you!" Jamie said touching me, but I really didn't want her to touch me, so I pushed her but she seemed prepared for it and she pulled back! "Astyanax come on, let me give you a massage! Please?!" She said in a sweet voice, it was too bad I knew what she was capable of and I knew that she only wanted me for my title, Prince of Troy.
"Look Jamie, you work for me for Gods sake!! Get off my bed!!" I screamed and pushed her again but she seemed to be enjoying tormenting me.
"But Astyanax I just want to have some fun..." she said while using her finger and moving in circular movement on my stomach.
"O now I've just had enough!" And I got up and grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out my room and I threw her out my door not caring that she was in total pain and screaming at the top of her lungs. "Now stay out won't you?" I said sleepily, I just had enough of this and I was just plain too tired for it too.
I walked back to my bed and I just seemed to fall on my bed and sleep took hold of me almost instantly. It felt like I'd only been asleep for 5 minutes, but my maids came in and forced me up. I got up but I was still in my dreamy state, I must have been out with Joshua longer than I thought. The maids took off my clothing and told me that I must get into the hot spring, maybe that'll wake me up, I got in and the maids scrubbed me clean and then they told me to get out but unfortunately I still wasn't fully awake but my senses were telling me that something was wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. SCHOOL!!! I was going to school. The maids were just finished drying me and were putting on my clothing when I realized what a mistake I made by waking up.
"STOP!!" I yelled. I could see that I startled them. "What are you doing?"
"We're dressing you for school my lord!" One of the maids replied though I could here the distress in her voice. That's when I remembered the deal with my mother, School in exchange for lessons with Joshua. How could I forget?
"O, sorry! Carry on then!" I said and I could see that the person that responded to me was on the verge of fainting, it was funny to see the impact I had on some of the workers here, especially the female workers.
When I was finally changed I went to the kitchen, I was hungry! I went and noticed that my food was already there in front of me and I noticed someone sitting in one of the chairs in our dining room, but I didn't quite know who it was, but I was hungry so I went in and I saw that there was four people in the room not just one.
"Uncle Paris!!" I said with happiness in my voice, I loved my uncle dearly, he was the one who approved of my sword fighting.
"Astyanax!!! You don't greet the rest of your family members anymore?" My mother said this and I swear steam would have been coming out of her ears if it was possible.
"Sorry mom, Aunt Helen, Cousin... What up?" I said gritting my teeth at the same time. I didn't really like my cousin, Anthony, he was in love with Jamie but he was always in competition with me with my sword fighting and I was always forced to let him win, so I really disapproved of my cousin, I thought that he was just another idiot of the family.
"Son, your uncle Paris wishes to tell you about the role that you must play as Prince of Troy now that you are old enough!" My mother said whilst tears were struggling into her eyes.
"um, could we have a moment alone please?" Paris asked kindly to his wife and the rest of the family.
"I want to be prince of Troy daddy!!" Anthony nagged his dad while I just sweat dropped.
"Yo, squirt, don't you understand the word alone?" I said angrily because I wanted to be alone with my uncle the king of Troy, and I wanted to know what was so important that he needed to tell me, I wanted to miss school and all but listening to this little suck up nag his father, it was just too much to bear.
"Astyanax! Apologize to your cousin immediately! That was extremely rude of you!" Helen said and had a shocked expression on her face. I didn't want to apologize but I saw my mother's disappointed face and so...
"Sorry Anthony..." I muttered so softly that it might as well be called a whisper. I heard him complain to Aunt Helen, man am I going to get it tonight with mom...
"Astyanax, you can't go and treat people that way! What if when your king? You can't just because you disapprove of someone just go and be mean to someone even if you don't like that person! Do I make myself clear Astyanax?" Paris said sternly, man, I never knew he could be so strict, I guess this is no laughing matter this prince stuff.
"Sorry Paris, it won't happen again, I promise..." I made another promise? Man what am I? a promise person? As if Paris could see my confusion he changed the subject.
"Astyanax, in order to be Prince you have to have a wife before you turn 18!" Paris said and I was going to ask him if he was joking but he obviously wasn't seeing the expression on his face, he was serious!! Me? Get married? I don't think so!
"Um, Uncle Paris, I don't want to get married! I mean, I'm not a girl and I'm not one of those people that want to get married, I just plainly don't like girls!" I said but when I saw his grin I just had to ask. "Why you smiling like that Uncle Paris?"
"Because that's exactly how your father was! He didn't want to get married but he found your mother, his cousin and he fell in love with her and they got married! He also disliked girls, you see Astyanax, just be patient, because if you don't find a girl than I'm sorry to say that your mother and me have to betroth you to whoever that seems worthy of you!" Paris said smirking as he said this. I noticed that smirk but I was too dumbfounded to say anything about what he just told me! I was still trying to get all the facts to sink into my head. Me get married? Man this was going to be difficult... My father, he also...
"So, did my father fall in love at the last minute?" I said but I could feel my heart thumping harder while learning more about my father.
"No, when Priam, my father, told him about this marriage thing he fell in love that very day!" Paris said proudly.
"Uncle Paris... do you think that it's possible if..." I couldn't say anymore, I never knew that it would ever happen to me but I burst into tears and they wouldn't stop, this was the first time I started crying in front of another person... "I'm sorry, you must think that I'm such a baby!" I said trying to smile but when I said this I started crying more and Paris, he hugged me! He held me tight and I felt as if all the pain in me was going away and just disappearing.
"Ssshh, it's ok... just let it out Astyanax..." Paris' words were soothing but it didn't take the pain completely away, there was something missing, Paris wasn't my father! I think that's what it was but I was still quite unsure, it felt like something else, but I had everything that I needed...
"I don't want to be a burden to you uncle... but..." I was stammering but I had to ask, no matter how hurt the both of us were by the passing of my father all those years back, I had to know everything about him and the only person I could rely o was my uncle... "When you have time, will you tell me everything about my father? I mean, what he was like and..."
"Yes Astyanax, I'll tell you everything, but you don't want to be late for school!! Or your mom will kill me!!" Paris gave a slight laugh though you could hear that it was fake... "Now eat your breakfast and then you must be on your way ok? Promise me that you'll go to school Astyanax? Promise me that you'll stay there and finish schooling!" Paris pleaded with me.
"Yes Paris, I'll go to school, only if you tell my mother to let me carry on with my sword training and let me train every night with Joshua... then I'll do everything as you wish, I'll even start looking for my dream girl and future wife if you let me continue, please uncle Paris?" I pleaded with my uncle, he was the only one that understood...
"Yes Paris, I promise you may continue, till whenever you wish as long as you stay in school, so am I understood?" Paris asked with happiness in his tone.
"Yes Uncle, we're understood!" I was so happy I had to keep from screaming but I ran and hugged my uncle and I even gave him a kiss on the cheek I was so happy! I wasn't even hungry anymore and I just ran out of the house and I ran all the way to school! Forgetting the fact that I didn't want to be there and that I didn't belong, but now I could continue doing what I really wanted to do!!! Sword fight!!!
"Don't forget your promise!!" Paris screamed, I heard what he said and I wanted to scream back to him but I know he will keep his promise, that's the person he's become! So important and so caring! Yep, that's my uncle!!!
When I reached school the happiness seemed to disappear, but only slightly. Man, now I remember why I hated coming to school! The people here, they're well, sucking up to me, all of them!!! Man, all these girls, they're so... too seductive for me!!! "Excuse me ladies, I need to go and barf!" When I said this they all looked away disgustedly.
When class finally started I was sort of relieved, now the girls can't stare at me so much and the guys can't look at me like they're about to challenge me to a fight for their girl. I walked quickly to class and hoping for no one to notice, the teacher just had to know and remember me!
"Well, well, I see that you have finally come to your senses and are coming back to join us again Astyanax! So may I be bold enough to ask why you have returned and will you continue to be difficult like last time? Or have you behaved a bit?" My teacher asked me, man I really don't like her! She asks things that's just plainly none of her business.
"Yes ma'am, I have calmed down! And I will be coming to school everyday so you don't have to worry!" I said with a smirk and I knew that she could hear the cheekiness in my tone, but of course she couldn't really do anything about it seeing as I am the Prince of Troy! Being triumphant, I just gave her a smile and went to the back and took a seat at where I sat last time.
People started coming in now. They were all chatting to friends, boyfriends, girlfriends... WAIT!!! What do I care what they're talking about? Man, my head is getting really messed up at the moment!
"'Ahem' kids, I'd like you all to meet Gabrielle, she's a new student here! And I'd like you all to make her feel welcome! Do we understand each other? She's a royal and if she tells me any bad things that have been said to her..." he motioned his fingers in a way to show you that he'll just plain kill you... "Ah, Astyanax I see that you've returned, why not look after her for the school? I know that you'll probably be the nicest to her than all these other kids!" The principal said, though I knew he was just sucking up, I know that he plainly hates my guts just like all the other teachers.
"Sure, why not..." I can't believe I just said that!! What was I thinking? Yes??? Man, I am so dreaming! To say yes... I can even see everyone's shocked faces, even the Principal is shocked... boy, this is going to be a long day!!
That was before I say her, man is she beautiful! There was a lump in my throat when I saw her! I couldn't breathe, I was breathless, just the sight of her! At that moment I thought about what uncle Paris said, this is the girl that I wanted to marry! This girl was perfect, she was so beautiful and she's a royal! Perfection in the making! I was too caught up in my thoughts to notice that she came and sat beside me in the desk next to mine.
"Hi, my name is Gabrielle!" Her voice was so angelic! I wanted to smother her with kisses, I felt like I was in a dream! Though it got shattered horribly.
"HI beautiful, my name is Josh, why don't you hang out with me and my boys during break? So you don't have to hang out with this thing over here..." I growled as he said that and I gave him a mean look that said 'back-off!' but he got dissed so bad.
"Sorry, I want to hang out with him!" and she pointed at me! She pointed at me!!! I felt my heart thumping so hard when she gave me a smile, she was so beautiful! Is this how it feels to be in love? I was staring at her through out the whole lesson and when the bell rang for recess I was quite sad because I couldn't stare at her any longer, she obviously has other friends. So now was the time to make my get-away, I stormed out the class, but she seemed to follow me...
"Are you lost?" I asked with a kind of ruthlessness in my voice that I was shocked in my own words, I couldn't believe that I said that to her. "Hey look I'm sorry, but... are you looking for your friends?" I asked more politely this time.
"Umm... I'm new remember, I don't have any friends, and I was hoping that I could hang out with you if that's alright with you of course..." she said in the most innocent voice I've ever heard and she bit her lip that made her look so... What's the word – Godly, that's the word, godly...
"Yeah, I'd love you to hang out with me..." And that's how it started, that you just witnessed was a start to a beautiful relationship.
When school was over I was miserable that you could see it in my eyes and I didn't want her to leave, but I did something that I thought I'd never do in my life, but I expected her to slap me or just push me away... so this is what I did, I pulled her to an area that only I knew of and I pulled her near me and I leaned in for the kiss... the thing is I expected her to pull away and just slap me but she kissed me back! I was kissing her soft, strawberry, pink lips. I kept digging for more, I was getting addicted to her kisses, my tongue went in and was asking for an entry and she let me in, we continued at it while my tongue was having the most heavenly time, I had to pull away for air, well both of us had to pull back for air...
"Sorry about that..." I said when I saw that her cheeks had gone deeply red, I thought that she didn't enjoy it but...
"Why you apologizing?" She asked while her pale white skin was returning to its natural color.
"I thought that... that you might be regretting it..." I said with sadness in my voice..
"I don't remember stopping you!" She said smiling at me, I think she likes me back! I held her close to me and I kissed he on the top of her head... I can't believe my good fortune! I had to tell Paris this instant but I didn't want to let Gabrielle go...
"I want you to come home with me and meet my uncle, I want to show him how beautiful you are and I want him to just see you, I know that he'll love what he sees..." and when I said this she pulled me into a gentle kiss but it started getting steamy and really passionate! I didn't want to stop but she pulled away for air...
"I can't, I'm sorry, I have to go..." She said and she started walking the other direction.
"Wait, where... what?? Don't go!? Please?" I pleaded with Gabrielle.
"I'll see you again tomorrow!" and she walked to me and kissed me on the cheek but I pulled her into another steamy kiss and when we both had so gasp for air she said she had to leave and I let her go... I still can't believe I let her go but I guess I had to go home too... I have to tell Paris and with that thought I ran all the way home!
"I'm home!" I screamed as I got home, I was breathless when I got home but I continued to run as I searched the house for Paris. I can't find him, "Uncle Paris!! Uncle Paris!! Where are you?" I screamed at the top of my lungs but I could here the difference in my voice, it was love!
"Yes, Astyanax, what is it? I think the whole house heard that scream Astyanax!" Paris stated but I could see him smile generously at me.
"Uncle Paris, I found her!! I found her!!!" I said, I was so happy that I just couldn't contain myself, I felt like I wanted to scream! I had all these emotions in me that I couldn't describe.
"Who did you find Astyanax?" Paris asked curiously but I knew that he knew what I was talking about.
"I met this girl at school!! She's absolutely gorgeous, she has beautiful long curly locks, she has blue eyes that I just get lost into when I look into them and those lips... those gorgeous strawberry pink lips... Uncle Paris, I love her! I want her to be m wife!! Uncle Paris, I want you to meet her, you'll fall in love with her too!" I said happily and I saw uncle Paris smile at me approvingly, man, I love him! He's genuinely perfect!
"Astyanax, does she have a name?" Paris asked with happiness in his voice, I knew he thought that she too was too good to be true.
"Gabrielle!" I said with pride in my voice.
"What did you say? Did you say Gabrielle?" my uncle asked but I could see that his voice and expression changed completely.
"Yeah, I said Gabrielle uncle, what's the matter?" I asked, I was worrying so much, I thought that he would disapprove, seeing his face made me so scared... "Uncle?"
"That's just great... Do you really love her Astyanax?" Paris asked, I could see that he was asking his questions carefully...
"Do you know her uncle?" I asked impatiently, I can't believe that my uncle, the person I respected probably the most in my family was making the happiest day of my life a nightmare. "Tell me why you're so afraid!"
"Astyanax, if you love her, than I won't interfere, I'll just say that I'm really happy for you and I stand by you 100%! If you need me, I'll always be here ok? I think that you should find out on your own and you should make that very important bondage between you and her perfect alright Astyanax?" That's all he said to me! And with that he left! He didn't even let me question him further, he didn't even let me answer the question that he gave to me! I guess I have to answer this on my own.
Hey there's the door bell, I wonder who it could be... O well, I'm not interested, mother said that we would have guests yesterday, and I'm too exhausted for this...
"You're here!!!!" I heard my mother say as I walked up the stairs.
"Yes, I'd like you to meet my dear daughter!" I heard another voice say, a very familiar voice but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Anyways, I was tired and I felt like sleeping, I didn't even hear the person who spoke next I was so tired. I went straight to my room and I went straight to bed.
"Hello aunty Andromache...!" a sweet angelic voice spoke.
"O hello Gabrielle dear!" Andromache replied with generosity in her voice, although Briseis' husband did kill Hector, you have to admit that their daughter was beautiful! "You look absolutely beautiful Gabrielle dear, absolutely beautiful!" Andromache said admiringly.
"Thank you aunty." Gabrielle replied, you could hear the gratitude in her voice.
And that's how the night went, Gabrielle, Astyanax's love was right there in his house but he was sound asleep that he couldn't hear a thing.
A/N – So what do you think? Well, I didn't want them to meet yet because I wanted the two of them to get a bit more closer than they already are... ( I think that they are so cute together!! Don't you think so? Anyways, please review!!! If you enjoyed or hated it Review it all the same please??? Anyways, till I update, bye... (
Yin Yang Demon – I'm so sorry, haha... I couldn't think of any more names, man you are really good! How did you know that it would be a girl? Gosh, sorry about the names though... ( heh heh, yeah, but like it's kind of weird, well this is a long chapter, hope it you happy... anyways thanks for your Review!!! (
Anyways, thanks for reviewing!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Anyways, without further ado, I give to you...

"'Ahem' kids, I'd like you all to meet Gabrielle, she's a new student here! And I'd like you all to make her feel welcome! Do we understand each other? She's a royal and if she tells me any bad things that have been said to her..." he motioned his fingers in a way to show you that he'll just plain kill you... "Ah, Astyanax I see that you've returned, why not look after her for the school? I know that you'll probably be the nicest to her than all these other kids!" The principal said, though I knew he was just sucking up, I know that he plainly hates my guts just like all the other teachers.
"Sure, why not..." I can't believe I just said that!! What was I thinking? Yes??? Man, I am so dreaming! To say yes... I can even see everyone's shocked faces, even the Principal is shocked... boy, this is going to be a long day!!
That was before I say her, man is she beautiful! There was a lump in my throat when I saw her! I couldn't breathe, I was breathless, just the sight of her! At that moment I thought about what uncle Paris said, this is the girl that I wanted to marry! This girl was perfect, she was so beautiful and she's a royal! Perfection in the making! I was too caught up in my thoughts to notice that she came and sat beside me in the desk next to mine.
"Hi, my name is Gabrielle!" Her voice was so angelic! I wanted to smother her with kisses, I felt like I was in a dream! Though it got shattered horribly.
"HI beautiful, my name is Josh, why don't you hang out with me and my boys during break? So you don't have to hang out with this thing over here..." I growled as he said that and I gave him a mean look that said 'back-off!' but he got dissed so bad.
"Sorry, I want to hang out with him!" and she pointed at me! She pointed at me!!! I felt my heart thumping so hard when she gave me a smile, she was so beautiful! Is this how it feels to be in love? I was staring at her through out the whole lesson and when the bell rang for recess I was quite sad because I couldn't stare at her any longer, she obviously has other friends. So now was the time to make my get-away, I stormed out the class, but she seemed to follow me...
"Are you lost?" I asked with a kind of ruthlessness in my voice that I was shocked in my own words, I couldn't believe that I said that to her. "Hey look I'm sorry, but... are you looking for your friends?" I asked more politely this time.
"Umm... I'm new remember, I don't have any friends, and I was hoping that I could hang out with you if that's alright with you of course..." she said in the most innocent voice I've ever heard and she bit her lip that made her look so... What's the word – Godly, that's the word, godly...
"Yeah, I'd love you to hang out with me..." And that's how it started, that you just witnessed was a start to a beautiful relationship.
When school was over I was miserable that you could see it in my eyes and I didn't want her to leave, but I did something that I thought I'd never do in my life, but I expected her to slap me or just push me away... so this is what I did, I pulled her to an area that only I knew of and I pulled her near me and I leaned in for the kiss... the thing is I expected her to pull away and just slap me but she kissed me back! I was kissing her soft, strawberry, pink lips. I kept digging for more, I was getting addicted to her kisses, my tongue went in and was asking for an entry and she let me in, we continued at it while my tongue was having the most heavenly time, I had to pull away for air, well both of us had to pull back for air...
"Sorry about that..." I said when I saw that her cheeks had gone deeply red, I thought that she didn't enjoy it but...
"Why you apologizing?" She asked while her pale white skin was returning to its natural color.
"I thought that... that you might be regretting it..." I said with sadness in my voice..
"I don't remember stopping you!" She said smiling at me, I think she likes me back! I held her close to me and I kissed he on the top of her head... I can't believe my good fortune! I had to tell Paris this instant but I didn't want to let Gabrielle go...
"I want you to come home with me and meet my uncle, I want to show him how beautiful you are and I want him to just see you, I know that he'll love what he sees..." and when I said this she pulled me into a gentle kiss but it started getting steamy and really passionate! I didn't want to stop but she pulled away for air...
"I can't, I'm sorry, I have to go..." She said and she started walking the other direction.
"Wait, where... what?? Don't go!? Please?" I pleaded with Gabrielle.
"I'll see you again tomorrow!" and she walked to me and kissed me on the cheek but I pulled her into another steamy kiss and when we both had so gasp for air she said she had to leave and I let her go... I still can't believe I let her go but I guess I had to go home too... I have to tell Paris and with that thought I ran all the way home!
"I'm home!" I screamed as I got home, I was breathless when I got home but I continued to run as I searched the house for Paris. I can't find him, "Uncle Paris!! Uncle Paris!! Where are you?" I screamed at the top of my lungs but I could here the difference in my voice, it was love!
"Yes, Astyanax, what is it? I think the whole house heard that scream Astyanax!" Paris stated but I could see him smile generously at me.
"Uncle Paris, I found her!! I found her!!!" I said, I was so happy that I just couldn't contain myself, I felt like I wanted to scream! I had all these emotions in me that I couldn't describe.
"Who did you find Astyanax?" Paris asked curiously but I knew that he knew what I was talking about.
"I met this girl at school!! She's absolutely gorgeous, she has beautiful long curly locks, she has blue eyes that I just get lost into when I look into them and those lips... those gorgeous strawberry pink lips... Uncle Paris, I love her! I want her to be m wife!! Uncle Paris, I want you to meet her, you'll fall in love with her too!" I said happily and I saw uncle Paris smile at me approvingly, man, I love him! He's genuinely perfect!
"Astyanax, does she have a name?" Paris asked with happiness in his voice, I knew he thought that she too was too good to be true.
"Gabrielle!" I said with pride in my voice.
"What did you say? Did you say Gabrielle?" my uncle asked but I could see that his voice and expression changed completely.
"Yeah, I said Gabrielle uncle, what's the matter?" I asked, I was worrying so much, I thought that he would disapprove, seeing his face made me so scared... "Uncle?"
"That's just great... Do you really love her Astyanax?" Paris asked, I could see that he was asking his questions carefully...
"Do you know her uncle?" I asked impatiently, I can't believe that my uncle, the person I respected probably the most in my family was making the happiest day of my life a nightmare. "Tell me why you're so afraid!"
"Astyanax, if you love her, than I won't interfere, I'll just say that I'm really happy for you and I stand by you 100%! If you need me, I'll always be here ok? I think that you should find out on your own and you should make that very important bondage between you and her perfect alright Astyanax?" That's all he said to me! And with that he left! He didn't even let me question him further, he didn't even let me answer the question that he gave to me! I guess I have to answer this on my own.
Hey there's the door bell, I wonder who it could be... O well, I'm not interested, mother said that we would have guests yesterday, and I'm too exhausted for this...
"You're here!!!!" I heard my mother say as I walked up the stairs.
"Yes, I'd like you to meet my dear daughter!" I heard another voice say, a very familiar voice but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Anyways, I was tired and I felt like sleeping, I didn't even hear the person who spoke next I was so tired. I went straight to my room and I went straight to bed.
"Hello aunty Andromache...!" a sweet angelic voice spoke.
"O hello Gabrielle dear!" Andromache replied with generosity in her voice, although Briseis' husband did kill Hector, you have to admit that their daughter was beautiful! "You look absolutely beautiful Gabrielle dear, absolutely beautiful!" Andromache said admiringly.
"Thank you aunty." Gabrielle replied, you could hear the gratitude in her voice.
And that's how the night went, Gabrielle, Astyanax's love was right there in his house but he was sound asleep that he couldn't hear a thing.
