A Trojan Goddess

I was eighteen now and every single suitor was taking to get my hand, but I turned them down flat. None of them were like him. I literally started fighting the men and they would run off terrified. My father was not thrilled to say the least.

"Aella! That is the fourth prince you have run off! What am I going to do with you?" he stated one day.

"I can't stand him or any of the others father! They'll the same!" I shouted before running off to my chambers.

"Aella!" Shouted Andromache as I ran past her.

I ran as fast as a dared. I could never tell my father that I was in love a Greek warrior, not when Hector and Paris were in Sparta trying to work on a peace treaty. I locked my door and lean against the wall on my balcony. I didn't want to marry right now, I wanted to stay and watch my nephew grow. I knew what I had to do. I had to go with the virgin robes of Apollo, it was the only way.

The next morning I woke up and dresses in my typical robes, heading down to tell my father my choice. Karei was there talking about something with father. I knew she would hate me for becoming a priestess of Apollo. I wouldn't be able to use my bow anymore.

"Ah Aella, I was hoping you would come down. We need to discuss your behavior," Said father as I walked in.

"I have come to a decision father. I'm going to be a priestess of Apollo. I don't think marriage is right for me," I stated.

Karei looked at me with shock and slight angry.

"What are you mad? You'd give up your bow just so you don't have to marry?" She asked.

"Look, it's my choice, Karei. I know what you think of it, but none of those men would let me use it anyways, so what's the difference," I replied.

"Are you sure Aella?" asked father.

"Yes, I've thought about it and it's the right choice for me."

"Alright, but you're making a lot men disappointed."

I nodded and my father made arrangements for the official announcement and summoned the priests to get me ready for my duties at the temple.

We had finally accomplished our fathers dream of peace with Sparta. It was our last night in Sparta before we sailed back to Troy. Aella had warned me that taking Paris could be a bad idea. As I watched Paris go up stairs,her voice echoed in my head.

"Don't take him with you. He could undo all that fathers been working for," it whispered.

I had to admit, she was right. Paris was going to be the undoing of the fathers peace mission. I just hope that she wasn't being to difficult with father.

The next day we where heading for Troy. I stood on deck carving a lion for my son. Paris came u and stood next to me.

"Would you still love me if I did something stupid?" He asked.

"Like when Aella asked that we would love as a sister when she was twelve," I replied remembering that whole situation with her gift.

"Exactly so."

"Of course Paris. Why are you even asking me this?"

Paris was quiet for a minute like he was debating something.

"I need to show you something."

He walks away and follow him to below the ship. I climbed down the ladder and turned to find Menelaus's wife Helen. Aella was right he was the undoing of our father work. I climbed back up on deck and walked to where I stood before.

"Back to Sparta!" I shouted.

"Hector! Please we love each other. Helen doesn't love Menelaus," He explained.

"Love? You don't know the meaning of love! The minute she set foot on this ship, you broke the treaty that father has been working on for years!" I shouted.

"If Helen goes back, I go with her," said Paris firmly.

"You'll be killed. I can't let you do that."

"I will die fighting if I must. I won't make you chose between me and Troy."

"You wouldn't stand a chance Paris. Head to Troy!" I stated before I head below the ship, a heavy stone weighted on my chest of what I just chose.

"Thank you Hector," I heard Paris say.

"Aella and Karei will not be happy. I pray to Apollo to protect you from from their wrath."

I had started my priestess duties at the temple. I enjoyed the peace and quiet I had well there. When I return home for dinner, I would play with Astyanax. My brothers would be home soon.

"Princess, They arrived. Prince Hector and Prince Paris have returned," said a servant.

"Thank you," I said before running out onto the balcony. I had a wonderful view of the city and the ocean. I Could see Paris in a chariot with a woman. I tried to get a better look at her but the chariot moved on before I could. I saw Hector and I tried to get his attention.

"HECTOR!" I screamed.

He looked around and then up at me. He waved with a smile and I quickly left to greet them down with our father. I heard Andromache and Hector talking as I came around the last corner.

"Paris!" I shouted running to give my brother a hug.

"Aella! You look beautiful sister," He replied kissing both of my cheeks and giving a hug.

I saw Hector walk over and turned to him.

"Aella, beloved sister. I've missed you. Virgin robes of Apollo," He said before kissing my cheeks and giving me a hug.

"Yes, the young men where sadden when she chose the priestess duties over marriage," Came father's voice.

"I want you to meet someone," Said Paris bring a woman towards us. "Helen, this is my little sister Aella. Aella this Helen of …"

"Sparta. Are you serious," I stated.

"Aella please..."

"She's King Menelaus's wife. Paris what have you done."

I turned and walked away. I had to go down to the Temple for my duties. Paris most likely started a war for stealing Helen. I did my my duties and headed back to the palace. I waited for Hector to get done with the council meeting. He smiled when he walked out and saw.

"What are you doing up so late?" He asked.

"How bad Hector?" I questioned immediately.

"We are facing war Aella. If Menelaus goes to his brother Agamemnon, then we'll be facing the biggest war in history," He answered.

"Why don't we just send Helen back?"

"Because Paris does care for her. He would follow her."

I looked down at the floor. I might just see Achilles out of this, but then he would be the enemy and life would be very difficult.

"How many do think are coming Hector?"

"I don't know, but many. Aella this is none of your concern."

I looked up at him.

"It is my concern. This is my home just as much yours. I'm just as much in the middle as you are."

"I know, but I don't want you to worry."

We went our separates ways. Hector was in a tight spot. He had to protect our country and protect Paris, but Paris caused this whole mess and we were all paying for it. I stood on my balcony waiting for my mother to show up.

"You're debating many thing's. Why don't you tell me about them," She said.

"I thought if I ever saw Achilles again, it wouldn't be a war front," I stated.

"Ah I see. My daughters true love the lion of the Greek army. Aella it isn't all Paris's fault. Menelaus wants his wife back, but his greedy brother Agamemnon comes for power and is lying to his army. But unfortunately, either knows tat they are walking into a whole defended kingdom. Aella you will be granted your full powers and end the war peaceful, but at a cost to Agamemnon."

"What do you mean mother?"

"I mean you shall take his weapon away. Achilles will not fight fully for Agamemnon because Achilles knows that Agamemnon is a fool."

"So Helen is a pawn in this war."

"Yes."

I smiled at my mother, who was the wises woman I ever knew.

"But there will be a problem. You shall spend time within the Greek camp with the Myrmidons. You shall face a lot more challenges then you would behind these walls."

I frowned. Hector would be heartbroken if I were kidnapped and I knew he would do anything to get me home. I turned to look at my mother, but she had gone and I stood watching out over the city. The next morning, I got up and went down to the temple because of the impending war, I took my bow and thing of arrows with me. The priests understood and let me keep with me.

Three hours later the bell was ringing and men were dieing. I stood in a little room where the priests had shoved me into and I heard them screams. I heard a familiar voice giving commanders and I got an arrow ready. He would test me and I would lose.

I held my bow out in position as the door opened and the Myrmidons appeared before my eyes. I was among friends but I didn't trust them.

"Where's your leader?" I asked firmly. "Tell me now or I'll fire."

I heard foot steps and saw Eudorus walk in and halt at the scene in front of him.

"One of you answer me now!" I shouted.

Eudorus looked up at me and they tied me up.

"I'm sorry Aella, but for your safety we have to do this. You'll see him soon enough," He said. "I'll make sure your bow is well taken care of."

I looked up at him with sad eyes and he only smiled before he closed the door. I heard Achilles and Hector talking. I prayed my brother wouldn't do anything to harm Achilles.

The men took me to the camp and tied me to the post of Achilles tent. Patrocules had looked at me sadly.

"We thought she keep you company," said Eudorus.

I freaked out at the meaning of it. I wouldn't let Achilles touch me in that way especially now that I couldn't go home. Achilles stepped toward me and I started fighting.

"I'm not going to hurt you," He said.

"You better not!" I said firmly.

"Aella!" he said slightly shocked.

He pulled my hair back and saw my face. He was hurt.

"You became a priestess?" He said.

"I didn't want to marry so I become a priestess which is void because some idiot attacked the temple," I replied angry at him.

"I'm sorry."

"No you're not. If you were you let me go home."

"I can't. You're a captive of this war."

I glared at him until he untied me from the pole. He held out a platter of food for me too.

"Eat Aella," he stated.

I just looked up at him. I was angry with him.

"You said you cared for me once. I guess that changed," I mumbled.

"Aella, you know if I could I would send you home to your brother. I don't want you here, but I can't let you walk out of this camp now. They would kill you before I could do anything about it. I'm not sending you back to your family as a kill," he explained.

"They won't give you Helen. Paris loves her and she loves him. Menelaus comes for Helen, but his brother does not."

I took a grape off the platter and popped into my mouth. Achilles smiled at me.

"Still the same woman I meet," He said.

Achilles left the tent a short time later. I heard him give Eudorus orders to guard me at all cost. It didn't work, Agamemnon's men came a dragged me out of the tent and take me to the king.

"I already did. A Trojan Princess. Aella of Troy to be exact," said the fat king as they pulled into the tent.

I could see the horrified looks on both Odysseus's and Achilles faces. Achilles immediately took a fighting stance.

"Let her go!" He said.

"I don't think so. She'll give me a bath and then who knows,"Said the king.

Achilles took out his sword and the guards pointed their weapons at him.

"Stop it! There's been enough fighting for one day!" I screamed yanking myself free form the men that held me.

I was dragged away after that.

I walked into Aella's room. She was taken to the Greek camp and held as a captive. My favorite sister was in the hands of the warrior Achilles. I always told her that I would always be there to protect, but I wasn't.

"Hector, where is Aella?" asked my father.

"I couldn't find her father," I replied. "I can only assume that she is either dead or held captive."

"Your sister is strong. She'll make it through this."

I went back to my chambers where Andromache was at.

"She'll be fine Hector. Hopeful she's with friends," said Andromache.

"Their her enemies now. They took her away from us," I replied.

I looked out over the beach and the Greek camp I hoped my sister was okay.
