Chapter twenty-one: given up?
As Hector, Andromache, Briseis and Helen were softly talking about the fact the Briseis maybe with child, worried them a great lot for if Briseis was with child then what would Aeneas say? He could destroy Briseis and never let her marry or after they marry he could make her kill the child or after the child was born he could kill it.

"I can not marry him" Briseis gasped putting her hand to her stomach, she couldn't kill Achilles child even if the gods told her to kill it.

"you shouldn't be marrying Achilles" Hector sighed, he sat down and looked very upset. "if I tried harder to get father not to get you married off to Aeneas..." he sighed.

"Hector, please cousin it was my own doing, I should have listened to you and not have been alone." Briseis sighed, but they all knew that Briseis wasn't a virgin and it wasn't Aeneas doing it was Achilles.

"you could leave Troy and go back to Achilles. I do not think they would leave that fast" Helen said looking down and feeling her stomach feeling great pain that all this had happened because of her.

"you are right she can do that... do you want to Briseis. Hector could take you back in the night." Andromache asked Briseis in a low whisper.

"no I will not run, I can not run." Briseis whispered, worried that Achilles wouldn't want her back.

"okay then.. but it is up to you and if you marry Aeneas, there is no hope that you will be with Achilles" Hector whispered and walked outside for some air and Andromache bowed and walked to him.

"Husband, do you think that if Briseis could would she leave and go to Greece with Achilles?" Andromache asked as Hector put his arm around her waist.

"I saw them, dearest I think she would. But right now she is afraid of what may happen. But Aeneas would one day find out. Knowing him he will rid the child once he gets his chance." Hector whispered. Andromache looked at Hector shocked.

"Why?" she asked looking at Hector fearing for Briseis life as well as the child's.

"because, if people find out Briseis is with child before they get married, then Briseis can say that she doesn't want to marry him and break it off, and that would take away his chance to be in the royal family as well have gold" Hector sighed taking his wife in for a hug.

"Briseis, dearest how are you?" Aeneas walked up to Briseis about to give her a kiss but Briseis moved away, so he kissed the wall. Aeneas laughed it off. "are you still mad sweetness?" Aeneas asked taking Briseis hair.

"firstly, Aeneas don't call me that. Second I wasn't a virgin when you tried to rape me!" Briseis yelled pushing him away. Aeneas laughed and took her arm.

"but that's not going to stop me from marrying you dearest" Aeneas hissed and let Briseis go.

"I maybe marrying but it doesn't mean that you will have anything out of it" Briseis whispered and walked off.
