Chapter 11: New Life?
(Briseis)
His words were like bells ringing repeatedly in my head. I was indeed quite shocked to here such words from him. At first I thought we were just plain friends. But although there was a little feeling in me that I felt rather strange for him. I drew up all of my courage and took a deep breath. I closed my eyes feeling the cool breeze in my face. But there was something forming in my mind. A thing...no I am wrong. It was blurry and all. I focused on this upcoming image in my head. Then it struck me hard. It was the image of the man who has stolen everything from me. My home, my family and my Virginity. But all was replaced just by his soft words, his gentle smile...I opened my eyes slowly. Smiling at the image... Achilles. No! I shook my head to get rid of his image. Suddenly remembering Mynes. I felt quite foolish of myself for forgetting him. I looked hard on Mynes. A chance given by the god's to me. Must I take it or not? I took a deep breath and said...
"I accept your offer...Mynes."
I was quite unprepared when he drew me into a tight hug and was swinging me around. I laughed at his boyish actions.
"Mynes stop! You are going to let me lose my dinner!"
I said laughing. He finally put me down. He was smiling the biggest smile that I have ever seen.
"Forgive me! I am just so happy."
I laughed once again. Perhaps marrying Mynes was the solution to all of my problems. But why do I feel so guilty and...hurt! I looked up to him and said...
"So...When do we get married?"
"Tomorrow!"
My eyes went big after hearing his news. His smile faded away. He came close to me...
"Is there something wrong?"
"No! of course not! It's just....well tomorrow? Don't you think it's just a little too early?"
He laughed at me. I was quite insulted. I know that it was kind a foolish but I was quite shocked and surely all of you think so too.
"Briseis...The sooner the better is it not? But if you wish to extend..."
I cut him off with a wave of my hands.
"If it is the lord's decision for the wedding tomorrow than so be it!"
"Briseis pls.! don't ever say such things. Tis' our wedding and both decision should be honored!"
"Then I decide to be wed tomorrow."
He came closer to me. Our nose almost touching I could feel his hot breath. I prepared myself for his kiss as he draw closer to me. But I can not do it. I turned my head as quick as possible.
"Briseis...is anything wrong?"
I turned to face him once again. I could see that he was hurt. I cursed myself for doing such thing. I smiled to him and said jokingly...
"It is my first wedding and probably the last! I expect that when my prince charming kisses me I would be hearing wedding bells."
I grinned at him. He laughed so hard at my little joke. Then he spoke up still laughing.
"Very well o gracious beautiful goddess! I will be practicing my kiss and I would warn you that you may not hear wedding bells but maybe more! Perhaps even a cannon."
I joined in his laughing situation. He took my hand and kissed it.
"Good night, Briseis. Tomorrow you should be my bride. Get some rest!"
With that he turned and left. I watched his figure slowly swallowed in the darkness before entering my room. I plump down in my bed. Tired and exhausted. I stare at the ceiling hard I could feel a tear escaping my eyes. I closed my eyes and whispered...
"And my heart will always call for you Achilles...Now and Forever till' I no longer exist in this cruel world."
I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
(Achilles)
I watched the ship burned down to ashes. I could feel someone's presence beside me.
"Queen Dennia request your presence, My lord!"
I stood up. Fire in my eyes. But then I spotted something...a ship! I ran as quick as possible towards it. I could hear the girl shouting He's escaping! He's escaping! But she was cut off. I turned to see what was the cause then I saw her...The queens sister, Adrynna. She seems to be the cause of the girl's silence. In front of her was the girl's unconscious body. I looked at her confused. She seems to read my thought when she answered...
"One time I believed in love. I was in love. Everything seemed so possible at that time. Everything seemed so clear that I did not see the evil lurking around it was even beside me. But it was too late! The only man I have ever loved lost...banished forever! Taken from the devil herself! My sister Dennia...killed him! Love only comes once in a lifetime. Don't let it slip through your finger! Go!"
I gave her a little nod and continued running from my prison. The water was cold and it seemed to swallow me whole. I was near the ship. Somehow it looked awfully familiar. I pushed myself against the strong wave. I could feel every muscle of mine giving up. I was almost swallowed completely by another big wave if it have not been for a rope that seemed to be tossed down from the ship for me. I climbed the rope with all the remaining strength I have left. I finally reached the top deck. I landed on the hard floor with a thud. I was breathing loudly feeling my hungry lungs with air. Then a familiar voice floated in the air...
"Welcome back Achilles! I was hoping to see you soon. But not this soon."
I raised my head to have a more clearer view of the person in front of me. I smiled on the stranger in front of me...
"Odysseus! Good to see you again old friend!"
I tried to get up. But it seemed that all my strength left me. Somehow I have succeeded with the help of Odysseus.
"So, what brought you here, My friend?"
"I need to go to the kingdom of Mynes. Will you take me there, Old friend?"
I could see that he was troubled about this but his face broke into a small smile.
"Of course! But I must remind you that they will not welcome you as guest Achilles."
I Patted his shoulder and said...
"I know...I know!"
With that darkness swallowed me.
(Briseis)
I stared at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a white robe decorated in flowers and other sort of stuff I could not guess. On my head a white veil with little flowers in it. The god's have blessed this day for the sun seem to shone as brighter as the other days. Little rays of sun was peeking through the heavy curtains of my window. I took one last look at myself in the mirror. My hair was down...as usual. I could hear a little knock in my door and a little voice behind the heavy door.
"Lady Briseis the ceremony is about to begin."
"I am coming!"
I took a deep breath. As you all know I have throw away the necklace Achilles has given me but somehow one tiny seashell stayed in my hand. I reached out for the little red box to retrieve it. I looked at it hard. Closing my eyes I pictured his face. His golden hair, his Blue eyes, his soft smile...I tightened my hold on the seashell and whispered...
"If only I could see him one last time."
I place the seashell back to it's place and with one last glance in the mirror I left to join my future husband.
