I am soo proud! 10 reviews in less than 24 hours! You all are the best! I have decided I will do a sequel and Achilles and Briseis will have 3 daughters named Sapphire, Jade and Ruby. Nice names eh? If Achilles has trouble dealing with just Briseis' drama, imagine him with 3 daughters! I thought it would be rather funny to watch him change diapers and other things like that (thanks to Lisa Midnight Oceans for the idea!) Also, I know Briseis seems like she can't take care of herself but she is emotionally scarred from her years of abuse as a slave in Troy. Also, technically, Briseis isn't a slave anymore. He will free her but that's going to happen later.

Um, this chapter is just Briseis' first day in Greece with Achilles and she meets the other slaves including a beautiful girl named Helena (no, she is not the Helen that will marry Paris) who becomes jealous of Briseis and a villain is born! Ahh! Muwaaah! But, Achilles will be faithful to her, so nothing the A/B lovers won't hate.

So, um, here is…

Chapter Seven

They had been walking for about a half hour and still hadn't seen Achilles' house yet. Briseis felt the cool breeze through her dress and shivered slightly. "Is it always breezy like this?" She asked Achilles as he slipped his arm around hers for warmth. "Yes, but it's mostly humid so the breeze is a welcome." He said as he kissed her temple and brushed some hair out of her eyes. "We're getting closer." THe streets were still crowded as they walked through the market place and chaos was everywhere; people stealing, others arguing and a few promiscuous teens were around. Some of the girls touched Achilles' arm and gave him smiles while some said bluntly, "I want to have sex with you." He laughed them off and brought Briseis closer to him to show he was taken.

"Well, there it is." Achilles said as Briseis looked upon the home. It was more like a castle fit for a king and queen. It was bigger than anything she had ever seen before. In the front were workers tending to the yard where the beautiful flowers and shrubs were. She was amazed that a tough man like Achilles would have flowers in his home. "I'm sorry but I have business to attend to. Show yourself around and become aquainted with everyone." Achilles said and kissed Briseis quickly and walked off his property and back towards the center of the city. Briseis watched him walk away and then, turned back to face the home. Her new one.

The workers stopped and gazed at her, all in questioning eyes. One walked up, a girl, with blonde hair and green eyes. She wore a dress, but not as nice as the one she wore. Her hair was on top of her head in a messy bun. "Morning Miss. I'm Gabrielle. Sir said he would bring home another worker but we hadn't expected a pretty one Miss, if it's not my place to say." Gabrielle said in a lovely accent that only heightened her beauty. Briseis smiled and nodded, "Thank you, my name is Briseis and I come from Troy."

"Oh, I've been there. Don't mind me sayin' but awful people." Gabrielle said with a smile. "Well, best show you the place eh?" Briseis nodded at the girl, she was awfully nice. The rest of the workers nodded at Briseis and Gabrielle as she showed her the lands. "This, is the garden. No worker is allowed back here. Sir holds his parties here, but only for the king. Other than that, Sir has no parties. Lonely man he is." Gabrielle said as they looked from the side. "Why aren't we allowed back here?" Briseis asked as she stared at the gorgeous land that was covered in more flowers that were beautiful shades of blue, green and red. No flowers like that ever existed in Troy or not in the areas Briseis had worked under. "Not sure, but Sir is angry if someone comes back here. It's like his sanctuary. Poor man, spends his time out here or in his study. Brilliant, none the less, but arrogant." Gabrielle stated about Achilles, "He treats us well though. So, I keep my thoughts to myself, you should too." She gave the tip.

Briseis nodded and sighed. She hoped she could make Achilles happier than he was now. "But you will probably make him happy," Gabrielle said as they walked around the gardens in the front, "all my years working here, never saw him smile once. Until he came home today with you in his arms." she smiled, a beautiful one, as the girls walked into the house, the glass house. All the windows were glass and shiny while the floors were also shiny and slightly slippery. There were two different staircases, one leading to the left and the other, to a door at the top of the stairs. "THe right one is Sir's and the left, is the workers quarters. You and I share a room, Sir told me to get you up early the tomorrow in the dawn hours to show you the ropes. You and I work in the gardens." Briseis smiled again and nodded.

"I'll show you the rooms." Gabrielle said as the stairs became flooded with the workers retreating from outside. "Looks like we'll have to wait awhile. Happens daily." She nooded and watched the men and women walk through the door one by one. It took well over a half an hour just to get Gabrielle and herself through the door. "Our room is this way." Gabrielle said as Briseis followed her through another small portal to see a large room with two bed, one on each side. Each side had a shelf with books and drawers to hold their clothing built into the wall. It was a fairly decent room for two girls to share. "Brilliant isn't it." Gabrielle said as she took off her sandals and laid on her bed. There was a window in the corner of the room where the gardens, the back gardens could be seen. "Tell me, Gabrielle, what are the other names for those colors." Briseis asked as the flowers bright colors danced across her eyes as the sun hit them.

"Sir calls them his Sapphire, Jade and Ruby flowers. He loves them believe it or not. He finds them soothing, like a woman he use to love or children he wish he had." Briseis looked at Gabrielle is confusion; "What do you mean, 'use to love'?" She turned from the window and sat on her bed; "When Sir first became a warrior, he loved this woman named Jocelyn who came from another country, somewhere else that no one, not even Sir who had traveled far and beyond Greece, had heard of. But, when Sir went off to his first war and returned, Jocelyn was the in the arms of another, saying this life wasn't worth it. Since then, he has never found the perfect woman, till perhaps, if it's my palce, you. Jocelyn has never made him smile like you do." Gabrielle said as she stared at Briseis who seemed enthralled by the story. There was a sharp knock at the door which seemed to scare the two girls.

The door flung opened to reveal a mean looking girl with long, honey hair and hazel eyes with a sinister look plastered on her pretty face. "Well, you must be the new girl. Weird name Briseis is. I," She said in a egotistical tone, "am Helena of Greece. The fairest girl in all the land." Helena said haughtily and flung her hair. Her hair almost looked like gold in the sunlight. "Now, Gabrielle, no need to bore the poor girl with you awful stories of how your country treated you horribly and go cry." Helena said as she stood to intimidate Gabrielle. Gabrielle gave her a stern and threatening look as Helena smiled conceitedly at Briseis and slammed the door. "That, was Helena Dupras. She said she was one of the richest workers back in her home. She thinks that Sir has romantic feelings for her and has tried to pursue him in the past. But, she's willing to jump anything with two legs and 'member' in between it's legs." Gabrielle said hatefully towards Helena.

"But, Sir, has no feelings for her at all. She irritates him, prancing around in shorts toga skirts and such. She's a wench if you aks me. Don't get into the likes of her." Gabrielle warned as she stood from the bed and walked towards the door. "I'm sorry Briseis, but I have work to attend to. Show yourself around, but don't go into the east wing. Sir hates it when people, especially girls, seem to snoop. Go ask Helena and she'll show you proof." Gabrielle smiled and waved goodbye. The door shut and Briseis went to the window and stared out at the garden. That wench Jocelyn!" Briseis thought angrily at how any woman could deny Achilles. But, if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't be lovers, Briseis thought again as she placed a hand on the glass window. She heard another knock on the door and turned to see Achilles open it, shut it than lock it.

"Hello Beautiful." Achilles said as he took Briseis into his arms and kissed her passionately. He let his hand comb through Briseis' brown hair as her hand did the same to his. Achilles let his hands go to the back of her thighs and lifted her up, so she could wrap her legs around his waist. The desk seemed so far away was now supporting Briseis as the kiss between her and Achilles became more and more intense. He bit into her lip again and he took the bottom of her dress and brought it up to her thighs. He ran his hand up and down, but this time it wasn't stopping. His callus hand went to the far inside of her thigh. Achilles moved his lips from Briseis' mouth and to her neck as his hands kept exploring. His hand had finally stopped at it's destination, the silky underwear (you would think they would have some). Briseis the alarms in her head go off and took Achilles' hand off her underwear and brought it back from under her dress. "I can't, I'm not ready." Briseis said as she kissed him again, but she could tell he was getting frustrated with her. "When will you be ready?" Achilles said angrily, stalked off and unlocked the door. He opened it, looked back at Briseis and slammed the door. Briseis felt the room shake a bit.

"I am ready, I'm just scared." Briseis said as she started to feel her tears fall onto her plump cheeks. She sat on her bed and began to sob, repeating what she said before. She knew Achilles would never hear those words. But he did, he did, for he was sitting outside the door, feeling like an ass… "I'll make you unafraid." It was a promise he was going to keep.

"I think they're rushing it." Hermes said as he started watching the well along with all the other gods. Thetis looked angrily at Aphrodite who gave a weak smile; "I can't make this so easy for them Thetis." Aphrodite stated as Zeus sat next to her. "Achilles deserves it after what you made Jocelyn do to him." Zeus said angrily as he sent Aphrodite a dirty look. "Well, if it wasn't for that, Jocelyn and Achilles would most likely be married and with children. I knew he was always for bigger and better things." Aphrodite said, defending herself. Thetis spoke again, "Just make my son happy."

Holy shit! This is the longest chapter I have ever done! I hope it was a success! The story is now most likely over 11,000 words in seven chapters! So good! Here are my thank yous for Chapter Six…
