Hey, thanks for the reviews. A total of 463! I am soo happy! 16 reviews! Ahh! But, I know you all are sad for having Achilles and Briseis separated but he had to do it to protect her. Also, Achilles still doesn't know that Paris raped Briseis, this is her first day without her and Helen meanness towards Briseis! But, I promise that Andromache will be nice to her, I like Hector's wife, she does seem nice. But, I do hope you all review and they are nice. No A/B romance whatsoever. Even I'm saddened by that fact! I haven't decided when Achilles and Briseis will be reunited but I guarantee it will happen soon! Like I said before, this is both of their first day without each other.
Please review, that's all I ask!
So, here is…
Chapter Twenty Nine
Briseis opened her brown eyes, the sun had not yet dawned. She had hoped it was a dream, but knew it was not; she was in the bed alone. In her hand, she still held the note he wrote her only the night before. Her eyes burned from fallen tears as she wiped her nose. The halls were quiet, you could hear a pin drop it was so calm. Briseis sat up in the bed, the cold, lonely bed and looked out the grand windows. Outside was a balcony, it was large and inviting; outside, Briseis could see the Greek Camps where her beloved slept, if he did sleep while she was gone. Just the thought of him brought tears to her eyes, she wished he was here to brush away those tears. She rose from the bed and placed her hands on the cool surface of the window.
Briseis saw her reflection, her tangled hair with her growing stomach; along with the necklace that hung around her neck. He hadn't given her a ring yet but she cared little, only the little things he did showed her he did love her. A sharp knock on the door caught Briseis' attention and she looked to the door. She was still deeply afraid of the people who claimed to be her family, her only family was Achilles, Patroclus, Gabrielle and the baby growing inside of her. The reminder of her child made her depressed once more, not even her own child could comfort her now. The knocking had stopped and the door was unlocked and opened. King Priam, Paris, Hector, Andromache and Helen all stepped inside, they carried a candle with them and stared at their family member. "Your husband was not as hard to convince as we thought, especially when it came to his only weakness." Paris said, Briseis noted the look of surprise on Hector and Andromache's faces. But, she looked back to Paris and observed the way his eyes glistened at her. "Yes, it is I who raped you; if Achilles ever knew, I would be a dead man, which is why you are our hostage of sorts."
Briseis' brown eyes widened in fear as Hector stepped forward in front of her. "I don't care if she is Agamemnon's wife, we will send her home. Achilles spared me, I owe him my life." Hector said as he stood to protect his forgiver's wife. Andromache stood next to her husband and took his hand, "She doesn't deserve this, her husband fights for her protection. He despises Agamemnon, and now, this will give him a greater reason to hate you Priam, and kill you Paris. Though you do deserve it now." Andromache said harshly towards her family, nevertheless they had deserved it. Briseis was pressed against the glass door and could feel the handle digging into her back. She slipped her hand behind her back and touched the knob. She turned it quickly and almost fell out of the room. Paris' eyes flared up as did Priam's when they saw the woman escape.
"ACHILLES!" Briseis screamed as she held her grip from the hands she knew would come. But for the time being, Hector held back his brother.
In the Greek Camp, Achilles sat by the ocean, in complete solitude, he hated every second. He heard a shrill and his name called. The voice was that of a woman's, his woman's! he stood and looked to the palace, the balcony could be seen, the chestnut hair and large tummy could also be seen. It was Briseis, she was in trouble, that could be seen definitely. "IT'S A TRICK! I'M YOUR WEAKNESS! PARIS AND PRIAM KIDNAPPED ME IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE ARMY WEAKER! THEIR MEANS ARE TERRIBLE, HECTOR AND ANDROMACHE HAVE NO MEANS TO HURT ME BUT PARIS DOES!" Briseis screamed to him, he heard every single word, his blood beginning to boil. Her screams awoke the other soldiers and they all came out of their tents, bleary eyed and exhausted. "AGAMEMNON DIDN'T RAPE ME! PARIS DID! I WAS TOO SCARED TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH!" Briseis screamed back to him, her tears taking over her body. Achilles eyes widened in absolute rage as he laid his eyes on the young prince who stole his wife away. Paris grabbed a hold of Briseis, with the help of Helen, and dragged her inside, but not before meeting the eyes of his soon to be murderer.
Eudrous watched as Achilles grabbed his sword and shield and began to run off towards the gates of Troy. Eudrous grabbed his friend and held him back whispering into his ear, "Revenge shall be yours but not today; plan well and she will be returned." Achilles' blood continued to seethe at the thought of Paris laying a hand on his beloved.
Briseis was dragged from the room and into the dungeons, she saw Hector and Andromache lying on the floor, unconscious from being beaten on the head from a vase. Briseis kicked her legs fiercely and tripped Paris and Helen. She got up and picked up the lone sword on the floor. "You think the wife of Achilles knows nothing?" She said angrily as she slit Paris' arm with sword and cut Helen's face. "My face!" Helen moaned as she covered the cut from Paris. "Damn woman, you are ugly!" Paris said as he rammed Briseis into the wall, kissing her neck. "Such sweet flesh, I want it to be mine again." He said as he touched her thigh. "Paris!" Hector yelled as he smashed his brother's face with a jug, knocking him to the floor.
"Hector! If you try to send her back, I will kill her child and yours!" Priam yelled to his son, as he picked up Briseis. She looked into the eyes of a cruel man, his blue eyes showing no compassion. "She is the woman of Achilles, she carries his child, you are praying for your death to be quick." Hector said as he gave Briseis to Andromache who tried to calm the girl but it did not apprehend with her. "You are a heartless man, you deserved to be with Hades. I condemn you!" Briseis said angrily as she spit on his Ruler Robes.
"I see Achilles never taught you how to respect royalty."
"He didn't need to teach me anything, he told me I respect no one who disrespects me." Briseis said as she spit on him again. "I hate everything about you." Priam's eyes squinted for a minute before he slapped her straight across the face. She didn't even shed a tear.
Hector came in defense, "Fine, we'll keep her here for the protection of her baby and mine, but not in the jail. Keep her in the regular rooms, give her good food and lay a hand on her again, I promise I will help lead the Greek Army, for respect out of her and Achilles." hector said as he picked up Briseis in his arms and lead his wife to her room. Priam and Helen watched on in anger as she was going to be kept in good conditions. Briseis' rubbed her cheek as she was lead to her room, a slave room, where she was still kept away from Achilles. She looked to Andromache who gave her a frown, "He won't hurt you, we shall tell Achilles of where your room is and he will take you in the night." Hector said as he opened the windows for some fresh air.
Briseis nodded solemnly and stared at the Greek Camps where most likely an uproar was occurring…
Achilles sighed angrily as he looked at the maps of the Trojan Palace. His wife was being kept hostage by a rapist and a cruel man with a whore. Patroclus sat at the table with him and traced different routes. "Achilles, it's Hector." Patroclus said quietly as he looked up to see the Trojan Prince coming close to the camp.
Achilles smiled cruelly, the boy walked into his trap. "It isn't wise to be walking Troy without a guard prince, especially when I want your family dead." Achilles said as he met Hector's brown eyes with his blue ones, anger filling them. "I come to tell you where your wife hides. She shall not be harmed, I will promise you that. I hadn't known those were the plans of action yesterday. She stays in the east wing, the balcony." Hector said as he backed away from the camp, his pace turned into a run. "Do you think he lies?" Patroclus asked as he stared at the prince retreating form. "No, he knows what it's like to be a father, I trust him…"
