Chapter 9: Lies, deceit and more lies! Who's the liar?
When Astyanax woke the next morning he felt a warm feeling surrounding him. He looked at the sense of heat and realized that it was Gabrielle snuggling into him on the bed. He smiled at her and hugged her deeply but gently not wanting to wake her up. He didn't want to leave the bed or leave her embrace but he really needed to stretch his aching muscles. With as much reluctance he got out the bed and started stretching.
Gabrielle yawned gently and gazed upon a form in front of her. Astyanax was still stretching when she awakened and she stared at him for a moment longer. Astyanax having the feeling of being watched turned around and smiled at Gabrielle admiringly.
"Good morning Gabrielle!" He smiled passionately as he walked over to the bedside and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Mmmm, morning..." She smiled and blushed slightly as he kissed her.
"Let's go and get something to eat!" Astyanax motioned for her to get out of bed.
"Ok, let's go!" And she got out the bed.
They walked down the long hallway and headed towards the Dining hall saying everything on their minds. When they arrived in the Dining hall Astyanax noticed Paris, Helen, his mother and father and Briseis and Achilles and there was another person and it wasn't his cousin... No, it was a girl... She was familiar. Astyanax thought for a while... 'Where have I seen her before?' Astyanax repeatedly asked himself but his thoughts were broken.
"Astyanax over here!" His mother had beckoned to him. He looked beside him and saw no Gabrielle... He looked over to Achilles and Briseis and saw Gabrielle talking excitedly with them. So Astyanax had no other option he headed towards his parents.
"How fare you today my dear Prince?" It was Paris, 'Why was he calling me Prince?' Astyanax asked himself when he realized... "It's my birthday..." Astyanax said his thoughts out loud.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Everyone screamed including Gabrielle. But something was wrong. Who was that girl that he saw. He looked over to where the girl was sitting when she entered the room.
She was gone!
"I have a special present for you Astyanax!" Astyanax turned around, startled. It was that girl, so he wasn't imagining things after all.
"And what would that be?" Astyanax asked sarcastically.
The girl seemed shocked when he said this.
"Astyanax don't you remember me?" She said, sadness gleamed on every feature on her pale white skin.
"Should I?" Astyanax asked more impatiently and more rudely than he had intended but she before he could apologize she ran away and started crying and wailing at all of this.
"What did I do?" Astyanax asked angrily. "I really don't know who she is!" Astyanax said in his own defense.
"You shouldn't have been so horrible to her!" Gabrielle said coldly and started running off after the mysterious girl.
Astyanax who didn't know what to say just stared at his parents. "Who was she?" Astyanax asked with absolutely no emotion in his voice, but you could clearly see the emotion in his eyes. They were sad over what had happened with Gabrielle.
"Astyanax, it's ok!" Andromache started and put her hand on her son's shoulder.
"No... I have to find her!" Astyanax blurted and ran out the room and started searching all the rooms for Gabrielle.
"GABRIELLE!!!" Astyanax screamed, "Where are you!?"
"Do you think it worked?" Achilles asked.
"Yes, I think it worked. Now all we have to do is get out of the way and see what there future has installed for them!" Briseis said sadly at the fact of hurting her daughter. But it was a Test set by the Gods. They wouldn't dare defy them, well except Achilles that is.
Crying could be heard within Astyanax's chamber. Gabrielle slowly and carefully opened the door.
"Are you alright?" Gabrielle asked carefully and looked at her with concern and sincerity.
"Why would you care anyways? It's not like it would matter to you! You stole him away from me!" The girl screamed and threw a tantrum to Gabrielle.
"What are you talking about? Who did I steal from you?" Gabrielle asked, afraid for this girl's sanity.
"You stole away the only man I've ever loved and the only man that's ever loved and respected me!" She screamed with pure hatred in her voice.
"I don't think you know what you're saying... I don't even know you!" Gabrielle said hotly, because she was being accused for a crime that she didn't even commit!
"My name is Josephine! And I was supposed to be Astyanax's love! Not you!" she screamed loudly and started another tantrum.
"Well, he chose me! Not you!" Gabrielle said calmly, she knew Astyanax loved her and that he would only love her.
"But the Gods chose me!" She screamed this and this raged Astyanax who was standing outside and who heard everything that both the girls had said.
"What the hell are you saying?" Astyanax snapped at Josephine's last sentence.
"I'm saying that I'm pregnant with your child whilst she lost your child! The Gods chose me!" She yelled as she grabbed hold of Astyanax crying to her heart's content and screaming and throwing her chubby fists at him.
"What? But I never..." He stopped curtly when he saw Gabrielle's reaction to all of this.
"Gabrielle... This is all a lie! Don't believe any of this!" Astyanax yelled to her, but she didn't seem to be listening. The only things she could here were repeating in her mind.
I'm pregnant
What was she supposed to think. She was drowning in a pool of darkness. The only thing or person that ever brought her happiness had been lying to her from the start. She looked up on Astyanax's face, his beautiful face, the mouth that was saying something to her, the same mouth that spoke to her only of lies. His eyes that hypnotized her, now contained deceit. All she wanted to do was cry and be left alone, but nothing in her seemed to move. She would always be alone, and with that a tear fell from her eyes.
A/N – Well... this is a test of course. Haha... let's see if Gabrielle can pass it!!! ;) heh heh... sorry for the late update... I'm really busy... the next one will be up this coming weekend. Well, I'm going away next week for a hockey tour so don't expect many updates if any next week. I'm really sorry for that!!! But that's my life I'm afraid!!! Well anyways...
