As he left the room he walked for a few steps then said to himself. 'Briseis...Briseis...wow...it's smooth in my tongue to say briseis...' he thought. After a while he went back to his chamber as he saw Briseis, his slave, sleeps like an angel. He came closer and closer to her and looked at her. 'I didn't know she is pretty, her hair that has the color of chestnut, with curls, soft and brown curls as her eyes are as dark as chocolate...her small body that fits her and make her a true beauty...she doesn't fit for a slave, she should be a princess no.... a goddess...' he said to himself.

Achilles is away in a war, while Briseis's bored inside Achilles's chamber. She decided to go outside for a walk and to have fun at the same time, she went outside, she walked and walked and walked till she found a place that she can rest on, A Forrest with many leaves, grass, fruits, trees, chirping birds. But what really caught her attention was a flower, a sky blue flower, it remind her someone...Achilles, she smiled and surprise at the same time why she thought of the man who killed her family, the man who captives her and the man who can kill her in anytime he pleas. She smelled the flower and smiled happily, but she didn't realize that someone's watching her, a man, a tall man with golden hair and Blue eyes, and a man that fits for a god. He suddenly spoke up that scared Briseis.

"Why did you ran away again?" he asked, she turned around and saw Achilles. Not a mad and angry Achilles. But a happy and cheerful one. She smiled a little but afraid to show it. She replied plainly. "I didn't run away! Second I just went outside for some air and some walk, third I was bored in your chamber so I decided to go outside and last, I gave you my name and in exchange I have 5 days of freedom, right?!" she said, she's still holding the flower that caught her eyes earlier and she started smelling it again. He looked at her smiling and spoke.

"You look interested here...you want to spend your freedom days here?" he teased but she didn't replied. Because she knows that will only make her on the ground. "You know...you look pretty when you're holding a flower...." he said warmly. "Are you playing your tricks on me?!" she asked angrily "no I'm not..." he answered. "Look! Every man who tells me that I'm pretty never sees morning again!" she retorted. "I said you only look pretty! Not pretty! You want to kill me then?" he asked, she didn't replied, instead she just started walking heading his direction, he stopped her by his hand on his waist and dragging her closer and closer to him as they met their lips.

He was about to release a passionate kiss but she pushed him and gave him a hard slap on his right cheek. He touched his right cheek and looked at her angrily. "No one ever slapped me like you do!" he said angrily as he dragged her close to him again." Let me go! You're hurting me!" she shouted. "I don't care if I gave you freedom for few days! But I didn't allowed you to slap me!" he retorted back. "I gave you my name for freedom and not for a kiss!" she retorted, she pushed him hard and she ran as fast as she can, he didn't tried to follow her.

Back to his chamber, he saw Briseis crying and curling herself at the floor. He wanted to ask why but he thinks he knows the reason. He washed his face and hands with water then changes his war dress to sleep wear. Even he wanted to sleep, he couldn't because he can hear her sobs. He shouted back at her angrily.

"COULD YOU SHUT UP! I'm TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" He shouted angrily but it made her cry more. She stood up, she opened the door and went outside, and she slammed the door. He looked at the door after she had slammed it. He sat down and felt something weird, something he hadn't felt before, he felt like he wanted to say sorry, apologize to her, but he doesn't want to. He went back to his sleep again.

She went back inside the chamber and started sleeping in the floor. Her eyes are red because of the tears she released a while ago, she can see her masters back, she wanted to kill him but he couldn't, he wanted to kill him because he is the one who killed her family. But something's stopping her from doing that. She felt her eyelids getting heavy and heavier, she closed her eyes and begun to sleep.

After few days, her freedom is already over. She's a slave once again. She woke up early to serve Achilles. Dough he is still sleeping, She changed her clothes and starting gathering water to put it on the wash bin, for her master's bathe. As he woke up, he saw Briseis tired and wiping her wet face. He stood up and got dressed to his usual clothing.

She looked at him when he was finished. "Do you need anything else...Milord?" she asked plainly "I'll tell you if I need something! You don't have the rights to ask your master questions!" he retorted. She didn't replied anything, in fact she was happy knowing that his master will leave soon for war and she'll have more time alone.

"I want you to stay here till I come back! I don't want to know that you ran away again, understand?!" he said angrily. "Yes Milord..." she whispered then bowed. After that he left her alone. She sat at his bed then comforted herself by singing the song her mother use to sing her.

She didn't notice that Achilles was standing near the door; He was listening at her beautiful and goddess voice. She notices that someone is in the room too. She jumped when she saw Achilles looking at her with plain expression. She stood up and bowed to her master.

"What are you singing?" he asked her silently. "Nothing Milord..." she whispered. "You have a beautiful voice." He said, He opened a bottle of red wine and putted some on his cup and drinks it. "We'll leave this place tomorrow." He spoke; hearing those words made her sank. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing Milord...." She whispered. "Go to sleep now! We have to wake up early tomorrow." He said then he started sleeping.

Next morning, Achilles and Briseis went inside the ship, he showed her where they're going to rest till they reach Sparta. He opened the door and She saw a very elegant room, the bed is covered with goose skin, Chair and Desk are made with fine woods and if you look at the window you'll sea the ocean.

She quickly ran inside and looks at the window. Achilles was surprise seeing her happy like a kid. He didn't know what made him happy to see her smile. "I'll be going out and talk to the captain ok, stay here and lock the door!" that was all he said then left. Briseis didn't care for going out and exploring the ship, she still gazing at the ocean (or sea).

After a few moments, her eyes are tired looking at the window; she decided to explore the ship. "Achilles won't come back soon...so. Let's have a little fun!" she told herself. She went outside. She smiles every time she sees weird things like horned shard statue, Paintings and stuffs. She heard a noise, sort of couple of people having fun, dancing, singing, telling stories and spreading rumors. She couldn't resist just to listen and watch, she came inside the room. All are having fun, laughing and enjoying. As she came inside, she sat down and watch them have fun, She stayed there for a long time, She remembered that Achilles might come back any soon so She stood up then walk, but suddenly Three muscular man approached her and ask her to dance and have fun. "I'm sorry, but I am busy..." she said politely, she wasn't expecting that they will get angry easily like Achilles, One dragged her by her wrist, while the other one is holding her other wrist and the last man was just laughing at her.

"Let me go you brutes! You guys are hurting me," she shouted but the music and noise are loud so no one heard her scream. Suddenly a familiar figure came inside and starting beating up the three people that is near her.

When the three guys are being beaten, Her eyes widen when she saw Achilles, her master, fighting those three guys that had hurt her. When Achilles finished them. (Beaten) He looked at her angrily, She move three steps backward as she was scared at him, by his looks, she wanted to run but if she did, she will only have more problems. Achilles came close to her angrily and furiously.
