Chapter 15

I don't want you to do this Hector,I thought. I don't want you to die. I know you're not Paris,but at least you care about me. I care about you Hector and I don't want you to die. Please don't do this!

I didn't want to ask you this Hector,but do you like Helen? Is she driving you away from everything you already have? No. She couldn't be. You have your wife and your child to care about. You love them.

"Are you leaving?"asked Paris.

I shook my head. "No..."

"Why not?"

"Because at least someone in this family still cares about me. And thinks you've made a terrible mistake."

"I care about you too Kikyo."

"Then take Helen home."

"I can't do that."

"Then you don't care about me Paris."

"What did Hector tell you?"

I just stood there. Did I want to tell him? I didn't want him to get angry.

"Well?"

"He's going to die Paris. He's going to die because you're so stupid! You had to bring Helen here and now your brother is going to die because you had to bring that woman here! Don't you even care about your own flesh and blood Paris?"

"He's not my brother..."he said,coldly.

"What?"

"You want to know about my past? Fine. I'll tell you. I was adopted all right. Like you,no one cared about me either. I was found,just like you."

My lips started to tremble.

"I want to know more about your past Kikyo. I know you haven't told me everything."

"I don't want to tell you anymore Paris."

"But I told you more about my past."

Oh great,I thought. I knew that this was going to happen. Well,I might as well tell him.

"All right fine. Do you want to know how my parents really died? Fine. I'll tell you. My father made someone very angry. I know I've already told you that,but there's more. My father made his own boss angry. And that night,his boss came to our village and burned down everything, including the house. Everyone else was asleep,but I was the only one who got out of the house in time. And with that,I had no where else to go. So that's why I'm here Paris."

"Why did your father make his boss angry?"

"I don't know Paris. They just had some argument."

"Like we are now?"

"What?"

"We're having an argument right now Kikyo. But I don't want to kill you."

"That was different Paris. I don't want to talk anymore. Leave me alone." I started to walk away.

"No!"he said as he grabbed me again.

"Let go of me!"

"You're still mine."

"No I'm not! Stop acting like a child Paris. I have never belonged to anyone. And I certainly do not belong to you. I don't care if you saved my life. I will never belong to you! Now let me go! Please Paris... You don't love me anymore. If you don't love me then why do you still talk to me?"

He took my hand and threw me to the ground. He took my sword out and put it to my neck. "If you die,then so be it. I have no use for you anymore." He dropped the sword and left.

I tried to get up,by head hurt so much. And it was starting to bleed.

"Lady Kikyo!"it was Andromache.

"And... Andromache?"I said as I tried to get up.

"Don't move. Are you all right Lady Kikyo?"

"I'm...I'm fine."

"Your head is bleeding. What did he do?"

I didn't want to tell her,so I didn't say anything.

"Lady?"

"He...He threw me down. He-he told me that he had no more use for me anymore..."I started to cry.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....It's going to be ok."

"I should leave."

"Not now you are not Lady Kikyo. We have to take care of this wound."

"They're coming for her..."I whispered.

"What...?"

"They're coming for her Helen...and he's going to die. Achilles is going to kill Hector."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh....don't say that. Everything is going to be ok."

"You have to stop him...You don't want him to die do you?"

"Calm down Lady Kikyo. Nothing is going to happen to Hector. Everything is going to be just fine. Now lay down and don't move."
