Chapter 2
Dis: I own nothing....
Before I begin this chapter I would like to address the review that Blue Eyes At Night sent me...it wasn't mean what you said but was totally true. Yes, I have heard of a HUGE book called the Iliad and am currently reading it. I know that in this book Paris in fact dies and Helen goes back to Menelaus but when I saw the movie this idea popped into my head. I am not wrong to put my story under Troy because in the end of Troy "the movie" Menelaus is killed and Paris and Helen escape freely. Nothing is mentioned of what happened to them when they left. That's why my story is under the Troy category, not that of the Iliad. I know that Hector's son's name was in fact, Astyanax, because I looked this up before writing my story. But Astyanax being a nearly impossible name to spell and pronounce, I decided to go with Hector. So forgive me please, readers for not using this name, if you really want me to, I'll put it in.
One more thing, keep in mind that you are reading stories on Fanfiction.net. These stories do not necessarily have to pertain to every aspect of the movie they are written for, rather they are stories that the author writes when they get an idea about the characters and want to write about them. I have seen many stories that are AWESOME! That have nothing to do with the movie they are under. Freedom of speech is in the constitution and we are all allowed the right to write what we would like just as you are allowed to write what you would like in response. If my story angers you in anyway, then don't read it so that you don't get more angry at my wrong depiction of the story.
Sorry for my ranting and raving, now on with the story!!!

Hector II, woke up with the intention of practicing his fighting skills. He walked down the stairs where his family sat eating breakfast. "Good morning Hector!" Paris called to his nephew.
"Mornin' Paris, Helen, and Mother." He said purposely-avoiding Carissa. He didn't like her, she was to conceited and wound-up in her own beauty.
"Forgetting someone?" Andromache said giving her son a look.
"Carissa." Hector said dejectedly. He kissed his mother and went into the cellar.
The cellar was dark and smelled of wine. He knew the path he was going to well and stepped behind a large barrel of wine and into a hidden chamber. There was his father's armor. He carefully put it on cradling the helmet carefully under his arm, this armor was all he had left of his father and it was precious to him. He walked back up the stairs and smiled at his mother before grabbing an apple off the table and heading out the door. Andromache's heart was in her throat as she saw her son in his father's armor. It was almost as if her husband was back from the dead.
"Me and Maximus are off to fight." He said placing the helmet on his head and walking out the door.
"OOH! Can I come?" Carissa said smiling.
"No." Hector said meanly.
"Hector." Came his mothers voice warning him.
"Fine, but be just don't annoy us." He said giving in. Carissa was an annoying fifteen year old and loved flirting with Maximus.
He mounted his horse, Troy, and rode out to Max's house. He sped off leaving Carissa and her petty white horse, Aphrodite, in his dust. Max stood outside his house, already mounted on his own horse. He saw Carissa in the dust and wrinkled his nose.
"Why's she coming?" He said he said putting his father's helmet over his blonde hair.
"She asked, my mother answered." Hector said rolling his eyes.
Max shrugged and they rode off just before Carissa could catch up. They galloped over to the spot they usually fought on, past Lampsacus, into the deserted areas between Cyzicus and Lampsacus and were surprised to find to other people already there. They saw one boy go down as the other yelled, "All hail the mighty Achilles!" and dragged the other around. They laughed together as if it was funny. Their laughing at his father's death infuriated Hector.
"You think that's funny?" He said dismounting his horse and walking toward the two who froze when he spoke. Maximus stood close to him just in case Hector needed back up. Carissa walked behind them both, curious and scared at the same time.
The one playing Achilles spoke first, "We're laughing, aren't we?"
"That's my father you're making fun of." Hector said looking at the young boy through his helmet.
"So you're the baby prince of Troy?" He retorted smiling.
"Ay, I am."
"Not much to be prince of anymore, ey?" The boy on the ground broke out laughing.
Hector drew out his sword, "I challenge you to a duel!"
"Achilles beat your father, I should be able to do the same." The boy said smirking.
"Why would that be?" Hector said staring the boy down, he was much larger then him, and bigger two.
"Because I'm his daughter." Alexandria said smiling and taking off her helmet.
Hector looked at the girl in front of him. Her brown hair was tried at her neck in a curly ponytail. Strands stuck to her sweaty face. Her crystal blue eyes stood out against her tan skin. Her arms were muscular for a girl and made her look intimidating. She smirked at him.
"A girl?" Hector said breaking into laughter.
"Ay, I could beat you just as my father beat yours!" She said narrowing her eyes at him.
"Let's see then." Hector said his dark blue eyes fierce. He took off his helmet and cast it aside. Alexandria looked him over, his dark hair was curly and was clipped at the back with a band of gold, his tanned arms were very muscular, but his eyes were what made her feel intimidated, as the dark blue orbs stared her down.
The two jumped at each other and fought. Con and Max staring at them wide eyed while Carissa closed her eyes tightly. Alexandria slashed at his cheek, leaving a thin line of blood trailing down his face; Hector felt the sting of the metal and grew angry. He cut her upper arm a trail she felt a trail of blood ooze down her arm. Her eyes grew fierce as she tackled him, putting her sword to his throat. "Surrender now son of Hector!"
"No!" Hector yelled pushing her off of him.
Max and Con stepped in and hauled them off of each other. The duel had gone way to far, if they had let them fight any longer, they would have killed each other. Carissa rushed to Hector's side, "Heavens! You're bleeding." She said in a high-pitched voice dabbing at his face with her dress.
"I told you I could beat you." Alexandria said smirking.
"I'm not finished with you yet." Hector said going at her. Maximus held him back by his arms.
"Leave her be, she's just a girl." Maximus whispered to him.
"Heard that.' Alexandria said snickering. 'Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I act like her." She said gesturing to Carissa.
"Hey! I could fight if I wanted to! My dad shot yours with his own bow and arrow!" Carissa whined in response.
"Who are you?" Alexandria said narrowing her eyes.
"Carissa, daughter of Paris and Helen." She said proudly.
Alexandria fought against Con's hold, "Let me kill her Con! You know you'd like to see it!"
"Ay, but I would rather have you not a murderer than a murderer." Con whispered into her ear harshly.
"Hector!" A voice called from behind him.
