I have over 200 reviews! Now, I am definitely doing a sequel because of you guys! I think Crystal asked this question: Achilles didn't go crazy over Paris being there because Briseis had denied it so many times and he didn't want to upset his woman! You are right, you guys are getting a lemon but not in this chapter because it would seem a little weird considering she was raped about 2 chapters ago. I'm sorry but it wouldn't seem realistic. Yes, I am starting to put how Achilles was in the movie to this story now. I'm going to make him become more protective over her when they get into Troy to fight. I'm going to try to see that movie again, to get a feel for it again.
This is the next morning and Briseis is still pissed with Achilles.
So, here is…
Chapter Fifteen
The bed last night had been cold. She wouldn't let him hold her last night, not because of the rape or anything, but because of how he acted towards her. When she awoke from a nightmare, he went to comfort her but only to get a snide remark. "I can take care of myself. I don't need you all the time." She said, as Briseis looked upon Achilles angrily and turned back to her side. It was a cold night, and it was his fault. He was up at dawn again, as usual. Briseis still slept peacefully, something Achilles hadn't seen in a long time. He sat up slightly and while she slept, he kissed her face and felt the bare skin of her shoulder. When she was awake, he couldn't do that.
They were suppose to finally go home today. He was happy at that, being back home in his bed, to see his cousin, Patroclous (sp?), again. His parents had died and he was sent to live with him. He was a young boy, about 15 and could have been Achilles' twin when he was younger. He had hoped that Briseis wouldn't be angry enough with him to treat Patroclous terribly. Achilles sighed and stood from the bed, he wore nothing as was common for a soldier. He looked back to Briseis who continued to sleep. Achilles walked to the water bowl and scooped up the cloth. He squeezed it and washed his face and his arms. "Can you please move." A sharp voice said behind Achilles and he turned to see Briseis standing there, her arms crossed over her chest, looking annoyed.
He moved over slightly and watched as she splashed the cool water on her face. He had slipped a towel around his waist and watched as she dipped her hand in the liquid and splashed it over her chest, just above her breasts. She was trying to entice him and it was working very well. When he really wanted her, she wasn't interested or she was angry with him, like now. His hands went to her waist and pulled her to him. His palm ran lightly over her smooth stomach and he nipped gently on her neck. "Don't." Briseis said as she separated herself from him and looked at him, exasperated. "If I can survive without you, you can give yourself pleasure." Briseis said as she pushed passed him and to the closet.
She slipped off her sleeves and tossed her mass of curls to one side of her head and held her nightgown up with one hand. Achilles sighed passionately as he stared at Briseis who took off her nightgown completely and slipped her regular dress off the rack and slipped it on. "When are we going home?" Briseis asked as she turned to look at Achilles who was dressing in his warrior attire. She fixed the straps and looked at him seductively. She walked passed him, brushing up next to him and he felt himself become aroused. She had that kind of effect on him and it drove him to the brink of insanity. There was a knock on the door which made Achilles jump slightly.
The door opened and a man dressed in a toga stood, holding nothing but a sneer on his face. "Achilles and Briseis," He said smugly as he looked her up and down, "Before I deliver the news, I must say, I don't think that a man of your status Achilles, should be having trysts with the likes of slaves. Yes, King Menelaus and Agamemnon are aware of Briseis being a slave and requests her presence during breakfast." The man spoke as he took a hold of her arm, bruising it. But, Achilles took a hold of Briseis' arm and brought her close to him again, and she did take a hold of him. Achilles had become angry with the man's assistance on his woman and she was still recovering from her rape. "Well," Achilles started as he took Briseis' arm off his waist and got into the man's face. "You tell Menelaus and Agamemnon that Briseis is a person and she can decide for herself if she wants to join their dining. Do you want to go?" Achilles said as he looked to Briseis and she nodded no. "You see the answer, now, goodbye." he said as he jostled the man out the door and locked it. "Thank you." Briseis said softly as she rubbed her cheek against his bicep.
Achilles turned and kissed her head and picked up Briseis' silk nightgown that hung over the bed. "Are you still mad at me?" Achilles asked as he looked at her, his blue eyes showing desire. Briseis smiled and wrapped her arms around Achilles' fit waist, "After that, no I am not." Briseis said as she leaned in and kissed his lips softly, letting him take her in his arms and kissing her like never before. His arms were wrapped tightly around her waist and Briseis' hands were in his hair. When they pulled away, Achilles kisses trailed down her neck and she smiled as his hands threaded themselves in her hair. "I love you," She said as she kissed his head and grinned when he looked into her eyes and responded, "I love you too. Now! Let's get on that ship and go home." Achilles said as he scooped Briseis up in his arms and they walked out of the bedroom.
She noticed he walked in a fast pace, he was probably hoping not to see Menelaus or Agamemnon. The ship sat by the bay and tons of people piled on. Achilles was happy to go home, and to have Briseis go with him…
------
It would take them a day to get home, it was better than the trip to Troy, that was definite. Achilles stared out at the setting sun and sighed at the warm breeze. He looked to see Briseis watching some children play and he smiled. He'll never understood why a wonderful, caring person would fall for a cold, war obsessed warrior like him. A little girl with blonde hair and brown eyes came up to Briseis and started talking to her. She was going to marry him and they would have children, a daughter that would probably look like that little girl. Whatever the girl said made Briseis smile.
Achilles looked back out to the horizon and the Grecian Islands seem to only be a minute away. He had a great life, and he wanted it to stay like that always…
-----
Thetis smiled at her son and even Hades came up from the underworld to look into the well to see the mortal world. Something they've always wanted to enjoy, they were jealous of all those who were mortal. "That girl, very beautiful indeed. She could keep me company." Hades said as he tried to put his hand in the water but it was slapped away by Zeus. "She stays a mortal." Everyone nodded but Aphrodite spoke.
"I feel another feeling brewing. Achilles, dear, sweet Achilles, never knew any emotion other than hatred until he met that girl. He has a new emotion, love. But, something else is brewing, that could cut his life with her short. An obsession, is in the making and a war, the greatest one ever known. Two people, will be the ones to end his life. But, light is still in the horizon. Something can save him from his fate, a love." Aphrodite said as she stared into the well. "A choice, she has. She can save him from his ultimate fate or let it sink through the cracks."
Thetis went to Aphrodite and bent to her feet. "PLease! Tell me, tell me anything I can advise Briseis to do!" Thetis said as she cried into the hem of Aphrodite's toga. "You don't have too. If she listens to her heart, she will know…"
Dramatic ending! Everyone knows that Achilles won't die in my story but no one knows why he won't die. Yes, it has something to do with Briseis but it is kind of predictable but I don't know. I hope everyone reviews and here are my thank yous:
