Chapter Twenty-four: the star crossed lovers
Briseis was worried... and afraid, mostly for what was inside of her. she slowly..very, very slowly walked the down and to the great temple of Apollo were everyone was waiting for her, Hectors hand on Briseis tighten as did Briseis hand. She gasped and walked very, very slowly to Aeneas.
They finally walked up to the temple of Apollo and Briseis felt Hectors hand tighten as he looked at Aeneas. Hector sighed and Briseis looked at hector worried. Paris (who was walking beside Briseis) whispered to her.
"maybe we should walk faster." Paris whispered into Briseis' ear. He was right, it would take forever to get to Aeneas. Briseis sighed sadly and walked a little faster not as fast as Paris would want but faster.
"ah the bride finally" the priest joked. Briseis looked like she wanted to kick him. But she didn't all she did was look down and sigh.
"today I'm here to marry Briseis Princess of Troy and Aeneas duke of Troy. If anyone wants to say something, Please say it now or forever hold your peace." The priest gasped out. Briseis looked at the people all around and mostly to her cousin but Priam was holding down Hectors hand.
"well then no one has anything to say. Aeneas please take Briseis hand" the priest said looking at the two, and it seemed that Briseis was trying to buy time and hide her hands. But then the doors opened and a man didn't move and looked at the couple. (think Lord Of the Ring when Aragorn opens the door.)
Briseis looked and it was Achilles. She fell to the floor and began thanking the gods. Aeneas grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up. Everyone was shocked as for Achilles mad as ever.
"tell me! Why is he here?!" Aeneas hissed at Briseis and she looked at Achilles, she had tears rimmed around her eyes. Briseis pushed him away.
"you will let go of her before I cut your head off" Achilles said running to Aeneas grabbing out his sword. Aeneas let go of Briseis' hair and grabbed his sword out. No one saw that Paris was gone.
"come I do not care who you are. I will kill you like every man I have fought with" Aeneas said with pride. But he didn't seem to know that the man he was about to fight was Achilles.
"Achilles" Briseis whispered. Everyone was afraid and ran all but her cousins and king Priam. They were standing and watching.
"Briseis.. why?" Achilles asked very upset, Briseis fell to the floor.
"I had too" Briseis whispered.
Aeneas and Achilles began fighting... well it wasn't much of a fight, for about a couple of minutes after the two began fighting. Achilles' sword was in Aeneas stomach. Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to say. Achilles helped Briseis.
"Prince Hector I will get as many people as you can and run for Troy is going to fall." Achilles told them. Hector, Andromache and Helen ran to help out the falling city.
"Achilles" Briseis whispered putting her hand on to his face. Achilles grabbed her and hugged her.
"I never thought I will see you again" Achilles whispered into her ear. Briseis started crying.
"me too, Achilles I love you. I don't care what anyone says I love you and I'm having your child" Briseis whispered putting her hands onto Achilles face. Achilles froze. Did she say his child?
"what do you mean?" Achilles not believing what he heard ask. Briseis kissed him and said it again "I'm having your child" she smiled and put his hand onto her stomach.
"Briseis that's great!" Achilles kissed her over and over again. "I love you Briseis, I love you so much" He whispered. Briseis smiled and hugged him.
"I'm going to marry you Briseis and you shall come back to Greece with me" he said taking her hands and she got up. But then something stopped her.
"Paris..." she whispered looking at the door where Paris had a bow and a couple of arrows.
"let go of her hand Achilles" Paris hissed annoyed that Briseis would go with the man that killed her people.
"Paris please stop you don't understand. I love him" Briseis gasped, she was worried about what Paris was going to do. It so likes him to act with out thinking but was he really planning to kill Achilles?
"Briseis don't your not going to Greece your coming with us" Paris said taking the bow and arrow and aiming it Achilles' heel and he shot. Briseis gasped and when down with Achilles, who was in great pain.
"Achilles" she took his hand. "are you okay. Paris stop, please, Don't kill him!" Briseis cried out. But it was hopeless he shot again this time into Achilles chest. "Briseis, leave please! Its not safe" Achilles whispered taking Briseis hand and kissed it. Briseis had great pain in her. she keep on nodding her head.
"no... no Achilles' I'm not going to leave you again" Briseis whispered not leaving her place. Paris stopped and looked at the two. He didn't believe it. Paris took one more arrow and shot it again.
"NO! Stop it! please Paris!!" Briseis screamed as Achilles grew weaker and tried to push Briseis away.
"Briseis run, before they find you. Have the child and one day we will be together" Achilles pushed Briseis and Paris ran over to her.
He took her arm and tried to make her run but she wouldn't move.
"Achilles" Briseis whispered.
"Briseis leave" Achilles whispered. Paris led her out of the temple and Achilles watching the one that he had truly had loved leave him. Then after Briseis was pushed out into the doors Achilles fell.
The story doesn't end here for Briseis still had her part to tell.
It was about 9 months later and Briseis was about to give birth to her and Achilles' child. But at the same time Briseis fell ill. May people say that she should give up the child but Briseis was not going to give up the only thing that she had to Achilles.
But sadly after Briseis gave birth to a little boy she died. The child was given to Hector and Andromache and they later named the little boy 'Achilles' after his father.
Briseis and Achilles where finally together again, after all that time fighting to be together. They were and happy.
