Alfred POV
My eyes widened as i looked at the woman before me
"Alquid...it feels so familiar...wait...you know...your the woman...your..."
Hehewutti nods softly and smiles.
"Yes, I am your mother Alfred...I'm sorry that i stayed away the whole time you were here..."
I shook my head softly.
"No...don't be sorry, you were doing what you thought to be right"
She smiles and nods.
"I am glad you are so understanding my dear son"
Alfred smiles and suddenly a realization hit.
"wait...Arthur and France...they killed your village? And left you wounded?"
He asked as his eyes hardened and his hands balled into fists, this new information fueling his drive to end this war and finish France. Hehewutti noticed this and i saw her eyes widen.
"Alquid! Don't you dare! You will not kill them! They did raise you well, even if they took you in a horrid way, please, remember what Pocahontas taught you, do not kill the white men!"
Alfred frowns and shook his head.
"No mother, i must, i may have been born here, but i was raised in the West, they must pay for what they did to Mattie and i...and i will have Mattie come here! He would love to meet you!"
Hehewutti bit her lip and closed her eyes.
"Alquid...forgive me"
She said softly and blew a powder into my face. Suddenly i grew drowsy and fell asleep.
Hehewutti POV
I easily caught my younger son in my arms as he fell after i blew the crushed plant into his face. Tears fell down my cheeks and i took him back to his tent and laid him down.
"my dear son...i suppose it is too soon for you to know who i am, but i will always watch over you as best as i can. I cannot let this information drive you to kill those who you grew to love"
I told my son and cupped his face silently. before taking a plant and breaking off a leaf. I squeezed the liquid from the leaf into his mouth, it would make him forget this night, forget meeting me and all i told him. I stood silently and looked over my sleeping son. I only brought the plants with as a precaution, in case my son was not yet ready to know of his past.
"goodnight my son, and goodbye, i will see you again, and one day you will be ready for this information, when that day comes, i will find you, i promise."
I whispered and left his tent, i went to see the chief, to tell him to never speak of me ever again. He nodded and i left. Two more years went by and finally the war with France was over, Alfred won technically. The British kept rule over the land, France did not have rule over half of the land that was once mine, i could sense it, he had control over the land that i had set aside for eldest son Madu. The more these men stay here, the weaker i grow, i try to help and fight, but im growing weaker and weaker, i can foresee that one day i will no longer be the mother of this land.
*Smirks evilly* yes, i know i am a cruel cruel person, but i hope you are enjoying my stories! I promise there will be more to come, i just had a bit of a writers block with this story. I will write more soon, i just had some personal things happen in my life, so i may be slow. but please leave reviews, i would love to hear what you think of my story.
