a mother's heart

a few days after Damian left, Hippolyta's pov:

damn, that daughter of mine, even she knows what Hercules do, but why didn't she vent her anger on him, why did she help him? why did she free him from us? he deserved it. yes he completely deserved every scar I give him, he deserved to be bleed in that damp and dark cell, he deserved to shed his blood as he shed our blood in the battlefield, he killed my sister's, he made me fall in despair, he deserved every single thing I did to him.

a few months after Damian left, Hippolyta's pov:

ugh, I want to vent this anger on someone, what that man did can't be forgiven, why did you take that toy away from us Diana? he is my s-s-son? what am I thinking? he is Hercules. he is deserved to be punished and suffer in that cage of his for the rest of his life? why did you take him Diana? he is my s-s-son? I can do anything I want with him. I'm his... am I really his mother?

a few years later, Hippolyta's pov:

she is standing in that cell she chained her son and tortured him for years, she looked at the dried up blood stains, ragged clothes he wore, the chains that bound him to the wall, tears welled up while she is thinking," why did I do that to my own child? why did I torture him like that man did to my sister's? why did I hated him that much at that time? why didn't I think like a mother? why didn't I care about my own child? will he hate me for the rest of his life for this, will he hate all the Amazon's and grew up to be another Hercules, will the history repeat itself to the Amazon's just because I couldn't accept my son and tortured him with the hate I have on Hercules? will he do something to Diana to take out his anger like I did on him?". Hippolyta kneeled and cried while thinking what she had to her own son.

present time, Hippolyta's pov:

Hippolyta's mind is racing through many thoughts, she is thinking Damian will return to themyscira with an army like Hercules and enslave them just like him, she is thinking Diana may already suffered in his hands, her mind is going through so many emotions while she is looking at the ragged clothes of Damian and stopping the welled up tears from her eyes, she is thinking," I made this monster with my own hands. if only I cared for him a little and raised him like a living thing rather than a toy to vent my anger, what is he going to do now? Damian wherever you're please forgive this lady who birth to you, I'm alone is responsible for all this, so I'll bear the responsibility Damian, please don't return like another Hercules, great Hera, please don't let him turn into that man and repeat the massacre again". her body is trembling uncontrollably while she is thinking about Damian standing infront with an enslaved Diana who is bound in chains and she is like him bound to the wall can't do anything and watching him ravage Diana who is screaming with tears in her eyes while Damian is giving a sadistic laugh laugh looking at her, and she is helplessly looking at this with blurred eyes.

pov ends.

Antiope pov :

what have I done ? why did I ever thought of hurting someone innocent and don't have anything to do with that man? why did I ever thought about hurting him? he is just a child who looked like him, why did I decided to torture him like Hippolyta? just what am I thinking?, Antiope is thinking about the boy she tortured after Hippolyta left his telling her to feed him only once a day, but she who is also angry at Hercules when she saw the spitting image of that man, took out her anger on him she made him bleed while smirking maniacly and even after hours of torture she just threw him some rotten food and sometimes just ignored him. she is now thinking about whether she is also a reason that a future Hercules will rise and enslave them like they did in the past. she is trembling thinking that. tears welled up in her eyes everytime she remembered him begging her to kill him or begged her to stop the torture or give him some food and water, she just laughed at him and left him there for days starving in that dark cell, what if he returned with Diana as hostage and threaten us? what if he turned out like to be Hercules and enslave us? what if he repeated the same thing like his father?

pov ends.
