Hey everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter! All the reviews were great! I got about 15 which I am very proud of! You are only 33 reviews away from the next lemon. As I am thinking about this, after Troy, Briseis will still be pregnant so the rest of the story will continue with her pregnancy. But that is only in the works. Um, I know everyone is pissed with Achilles about going to Troy and taking Briseis with him while she is pregnant. But, even though he does love her very much, he can't decide which he desires more: Briseis or his glory. Also, that whole thing with Briseis being kidnapped happens after Agamemnon takes her and she is given to the men.

But, Achilles does fight to get her back. But, nothing really bad about this chapter, it's just about their short voyage to Troy and Achilles' first battle, and maybe their first night there. I hope you all enjoy the chapter and I apologize in the meantime for my terrible action scenes! I love action movies but I couldn't write a scene to save my life! But, please be nice with the reviews!

So, here is…

Chapter Twenty Six

Briseis and Gabrielle both stared at the black sails that blew with the wind. Patroclus and Achilles talked with the men and Achilles looked to his wife every other minute or so. He was sadden by her face expression that was lifeless as was Gabrielle's. She dipped her hand into the water and padded it slightly. Patroclus also noticed his girlfriend sullen face as he continued to speak to the men. It was time for Achilles' pep talk to the men;

"I've learned a lot of things in my short 21 years on this earth. I live by a simple code that helped me get through a lot of things in my years, fight for what's right, love your woman," He stared at Briseis when he said that, "and don't let anyone keep you from something you want. Immortality! Take it! It's yours!" Achilles said as he riled up his men as they all pounded on the ship floor. Achilles walked to his wife and Gabrielle. He took her hand from the water and spoke in hushed tones. "Go under the floor, there is space down there. Keep very quiet and when the battle is over, I will come back to get you two." He said as he kissed Briseis on the lips softly and leaned down to kiss her abdomen as well. He smiled slightly at Gabrielle who gave him a depressed look.

Briseis went underground but watched the embrace of Patroclus and Gabrielle. She cried into his chest and he comforted her while he could. Achilles took Patroclus by the shoulder and pulled him away while he showed her to the underground lair of sorts. Gabrielle cried softly, it could barely be heard as both women heard the men file of the ship in a sloppy manner. Briseis held Gabrielle close to soothe her solemn cries of desperation. "I don't want him to die, he means too much!"

Achilles could hear Briseis' voice in his head as he thought about her as he ran his way into the battle of his life. It seemed like the Trojans to be almost unprepared of their presence as he, Patroclus and his good mate Eudrous battled their way through, stabbing every Trojan in sight with their swords and lances. His thoughts thought only of Briseis as she sat on the damp floors underground while he fought in the bright sun. She was there against her will, she came only for him. The enemy became more alert and began shooting fire arrows when Achilles yelled, "Shield!" The black shields became one but only a slit was left for seeing outside. They moved slowly together as one, the arrows hitting nothing but shields.

"On my count, 1,2,3!" Achilles yelled to his men as the shield of them all broke and killed everyone in sight that bore the enemy colors. It had been only a few minutes and most were dead. Achilles had noticed a little army following them, "Men, go to the Temple of Apollo!" He said as he watched his men run to the Temple, people fleeing in their path. Achilles turned back, he recognized the man that lead the small army. It was Hector, the Prince of Troy; he was supposedly one of the best leaders of an Army. "Behind me," Achilles said smugly as Eudrous interrupted his thoughts. "My friend, hand me my lance." He said in a malicious tone. His friend obeyed and Achilles took the lance in his hand. He took about 2 steps back and threw the lance with unbelievable force. It flew and hit one of Hector's men in the chest, he collapsed in pain as blood curdled from his mouth. He smiled smugly again and ran into the Temple with Eudrous in front of him. In the darkness, Achilles heard the tiny footsteps of the men, it reminded him of Briseis when she got up in the morning. They moved in a pack and behind the gold, Achilles could see Hector leading them. "Foolish of you Prince of Troy. To come find Achilles, the greatest warrior, without attendance of another." Achilles said as he stepped out from the gold.

Hector looked almost exactly like Briseis, except she was the epitome of beauty to him. He had chestnut hair that was curly with brown eyes that matched the determination of Briseis. Hector raised his sword to Achilles and spoke of hushed tones, "You have my cousin, you hold her hostage." He said savagely as he spoke of Briseis. Achilles became overrun with anger as he kicked the sword out of the Prince's hand and continued walking until the sunlight hit him completely. "Yes, but she is not my hostage. I married her a long time ago with her approval and she carries my child." He said as he watched the continuation of burning the Trojan camps.

"Is she happy?" Hector asked Achilles; he now held up a lance to Achilles' neck but he was unfazed. "I treat her well, I've never struck her nor have I forced her to do something she hadn't wanted too. Can't say that for your brother; you see, Briseis was raped savagely by an unknown assailant she calls Agamemnon but I think differently. You see, when it first happened, she cried his name in her sleep. I promised my revenge and I'll shall take it. But don't worry Prince of Troy, I have no vengeance against you. Go home, drink your wine and make love to your wife. Too many have died today." Achilles said as he smirked at Hector who backed away from the enemy, but he was thankful Achilles had nothing against him; Paris on the other hand, was on his death list.

Eudrous watched his best mate in confusion. "You could have killed him!" he said in a shocked voice as he watched the prince walk away. "He has a child, like I will soon. Even I can show a bit of compassion, he committed nothing wrong against my wife. He seems to care for her, I show him sympathy. Back to the ships, we shall begin to unpack." Achilles said as he took his lance and broke off the head of Apollo. "I fear no god." He said again as he walked down the golden steps and back to the ship. He heard nothing of his wife and Gabrielle as the men piled back on the ship, carrying the tents and such to the land that was now theirs.

Agamemnon began to file off the boat with his men, "I have victory!" He said haughtily, as if implying he did it alone. "Wrong, king of kings, it is the Myrmidons victory." Achilles said, defending his men. Agamemnon smirked and walked the beach while singing, "I will have Troy! I will have Troy!" 'Smug little bastard' Achilles thought as he opened the door to the basement of sorts, he could see Briseis and Gabrielle in the corner. They were huddled slightly, it was immensely cold. "Come, my beautiful wife and my soon to be family member. Come to see the view that was now Myrmidon Territory. Fear nothing on these lands." Achilles said as Briseis eyes gaped at the beautiful land as did Gabrielle. "Where is Patroclus?" Gabrielle asked eagerly.

Achilles smiled at the girl, her bright eyes filled with fear. "He is fine, he waits for you with the other boats, clean him up. He was injured a bit, only a cut." Achilles said to Gabrielle who became relieved. "Is this our new home?" Briseis asked as she stared at the walls of Troy. Achilles frowned at her slightly but kissed the side of her mouth, "Only for a bit."

This chapter really sucked! I have done so much better for the other chapters! But I hope you all liked that Achilles had no reason to harm Hector. Just to tell you now, Hector and Patroclus do not die in this story. But Paris does, little bitch he is! I despise him! Grr! Please review!

Nefertiri's Handmaiden- he has to be like that because he can't choose which he loves more. That should become obvious when Briseis is kidnapped.
