Running Into Love
Chapter 1
Pain
Hector could hear his newborn child scream as it entered the world and took its first breaths. He rushed into the room to greet his first child only to be frightened by what he found. The child was wailing a wriggling in a servants arms while its mother lay pale, weak, and bleeding on a bed not far away.
Hector hurried to the side of his dying wife. His beloved Andromache, who at first he did not want to marry but now could not imagine his life without. The servants protested him being in the room but he paid them no attention. He only saw Andromache. He only heard her soft whisper as she told him with her dying breath:
"Take care of our son, my love. Raise our little Astynax well. But, more importantly, take care of yourself. I may be leaving you now but love will come to you again. Do not live an unhappy life because I am not by your side. Love again and carry on for me."
With this Andromache's spirit left her body and she drew not another breath, though Hector pleaded with her to do so. The servants wept at the sight before them. The wailing babe with no mother, the dead princess soaked in her own blood, and the broken prince who wept over his love's still body.
