AN: Ok so this is a one shot that I wrote for an English assignment after reading the Oddessy. We had to write 3 journal entries that had to be from the point of view a captured Trojan woman this is just the first one. I changed the names and some minor things so that it fit better but this is basically what I turned in. I tried to make it as historically accurate as possible but I night have some modern day things in here anyways so you have been warned. Oh and I got a 98 on it if any one cares
Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of Bella, princess of the fallen city Troy.
My name is Bella and I am a princess of the great city Troy. I was a part of the royal family and the people of Troy looked to us for help during that horrible war. My family was led by King Charlie, my strict father, and Queen Renee, my caring mother. It was her job to raise me and my siblings. That included my older brother Emmet, my older sister Alice, and me. Emmet was 20, Alice was 19, and I was 18 when the war with the Greeks finally ended.
During that horrible war my sisters and I were kept in the palace for our safety by our father. This caused me to become very lonely even though I had my sister to keep me company. I spent most of my time with the few servants that had been there my entire life, the ones that I grew up with. I knew that my mother and father would never approve of this but I did it anyways. My favorite person to spend my time with was Edward the stable boy. During the long years of the war we feel in love, Edward was my true love but we had to hide our affection for each other. Such a thing between a princess and a servant was not allowed. My father cared for Edward because our fathers had also grown up together but we both knew that he would not approve of our love which forced us to continue to keep it a secret. I knew that I would never care for anyone else the way I cared for him for he was my one true love. I had been careless though, I thought he would always be there to protect me and that it would just be me and him to take care of.
My whole world changed one horrible day though. When I woke up that morning I was still sick, I had been sick for over a week vomiting everything that I tried to eat. That was the day that I figured out I wasn't sick, I was pregnant and Edward was the father. I spent that entire day thinking about what I was going to do, what my patents were going to say. I thought about going and finding Alice, she was the one that I could truly talk to, the one person that knew about Edward. I couldn't tell her though, at least not yet. As soon as the sun went down I went to see him.
"Edward, my love, we need to talk," I said after I walked into the stables and was sure that we were alone.
"Bella, what's wrong?" he sounded worried, my words had scared him.
"I'm…I'm"
"You are what Bella? Just tell me please," he interrupted my stammering and was only getting more worried about me.
"I'm pregnant Edward," I finally managed to get out but it was barely a whisper and I waited for his reply.
"What? I'm sorry Bella. I am deeply, truly sorry."
"You didn't do anything wrong love but what are we going to do?" I asked him in a pleading voice. I was begging him to have an answer.
"I don't know what we will do Bella but don't worry I will take care of you"
Just then an arrow flew through the open window and struck him in the heart. He collapsed to the ground, blood bursting from his chest like a volcano erupting.
"Edward!" I yelled while I fell to the ground and held his head in my lap. His crimson blood was gushing from his chest and the room was starting to smell like rust. I was afraid that the smell of it would make me pass out but I couldn't do that. Not today, not when Edward was dying and I could do noting to stop it.
"I love you Bella, don't ever forget that. Take care of yourself and our child," and with that he died, right there in my lap.
I leaned over him and the sobs began rocking through my body. Just then a group of men, Greek soldiers, busted through the door. One of the men came over and roughly picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder.
"I'm taking you on my ship servant girl you will not be seeing Troy again."
I was hardly paying any attention to the man, all I could think of was Edward, my poor Edward was gone forever. I prayed to the Gods that Hades would take care of him. The man set me down, more gently than before, and I could tell that we were on his ship now. My tears just grew stronger at the thought of never seeing my family again. Just then I heard a man pushing someone else into the room I was being held in. The other prisoner walked over and sat on the ground next to me. After they had been sitting there a minute they wrapped their arms around me, I could tell it was a woman, and she whispered to me.
"Shhhhh it will be OK. We are going to get though this, together."
The voice startled me enough to momentarily halt my sobs and I raised my head to look at her. When I raised my head to look I was met by the eyes of my caring sister, Alice.
"Bella! It's you I was so worried about you. What happened? What did you see?" she spoke half in relief knowing that I was safe and half in worry knowing that something had happened to me.
"It's Edward Alice. I saw him die, he died in my lap!" I barely managed to get it out through my sobs but she understood.
"It will be OK, don't worry. It's better this way."
"How can you say that? Today I found out I was pregnant. How is this better?" I barely managed to whisper it to her.
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry but don't worry, we will figure something out," and with that I fell into a restless sleep in my sisters arms, the only home that I had left now.
AN: So what did you guys think? If you want I can post the other two journal entries but they are not as long as this one and I think that they are not as good and they don't fit as well with Twilight. I will still post them though if you guys what to read the end. REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW! THNAKS!
