OK, hey there, again! I originally had made this in part of a bigger chapter, but decided to put it in it's own separate short (very very short) chapter since it doesn't exactly fit. This whole chapter is entirely Briseis POV (so all the thoughts are hers) and takes place right after the last chapter, so don't worry, you hopefully won't get lost.
Chapter 4 (technically) Thoughts of Feelings………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
She awoke many times that night expecting to be hunched over in her little corner, but she wasn't. She was sharing a tent with Achilles.
'The most powerful and dangerous warrior of them all? Not likely. He had shown me such generosity. Could there really be more to this man than I had once thought. He was rough with me at times, that much is still true, but he showed me respect also. Was that respect, or something else? Could it be that he- no. Surely this wasn't… It couldn't be that he-he was showing… love. Then again, perhaps it is I, Briseis who has more than I thought. Could he find me beautiful? With my tangled hair? No, not tangles, curls. Silky, rich, brown curls. But with my tiny, thin body? Not that either. What I have is a figure. My waist is small, but there are hips there nonetheless. Maybe, he does find me somewhat attractive. Yes, Briseis, you are beautiful enough to be loved by Achilles.'
With these comforting thoughts, Briseis finally got her well deserved rest.

OrliNkeira: Hey, you must like PotC, me too… Anyways, I agree that my story would probably be better if I had seen the movie, but for someone who hasn't seen it, I'm not too bad, right?crickets chirp ok, I kinda screwed meself on that one, but this is my idea of what could have happened, so it probably shouldn't be exactly like the movie right?crickets never mind..
Mrs M: don't exactly know what to say, but OK, I will….
Via: Well, uhhh…. Sorry, I guess I didn't notice…. Great excuse, huh?

Diana D.: I'm hopefully going to see Troy soon, thanks for the suggestion, if you liked the movie, you should read the story by Adele Garas, it was good.
Siusan: Thanks, and I think I would like the Briseis/Achilles story. Briseis kinda reminds me of meself, though, I'm not living in Troy, and I'm not a priestess, and I was never captured by anyone, and……
OK, now that I've done that, I feel good! Sorry if I missed anyone, say so in your next review and I'll include it in my next chapter. Remember, reviews make me write, so if you want me to write faster, review more, and thanks again to those who do!
