Chapter 10: Falling in Love
Briseis heard Achilles come back into the tent. She waited for him to go to sleep before trying to escape, to go back to Troy. She realized that her medallion was on the other side of his bed. She got up and reached for it. She gasped when his hand shot out and grabbed her hand. "What are you doing?" He demanded. Her hand shook in his.
"I'm going to escape this camp. To get way from this," she answered.
Achilles sat up and held onto her hand. "You can't leave, Briseis, you just can't waltz out of the camp. You'll be caught," he objected. She nodded sadly with a sigh. She then realized that she was very, very close to him.
"Achilles," she whispered.
He hushed her and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Briseis gasped slightly, but she happily returned the kiss. Turning over so she was on the bottom, they finally did what their hearts desired.
The next morning, Briseis woke up and went for her clothes when she found a beautiful dress and a note.
Briseis,
This dress belonged to Agneta. She asked me to give it to you if I saw you again.
Achilles
Briseis smiled and lifted the dress up. It was a beautiful dark blue gown with light blue beads across the chest part. She pulled it on and wished she had a brush to brush her hair out and she found one that belonged to Agneta as well. She sat down and waited for Achilles' return.
When he came back, he smiled to see her beauty before him. "Wow, you look beautiful," he whispered. He held onto her hands with a gentle smile. She smiled back and gave his hands a gentle squeeze.
"I love you," she whispered.
He pulled her into a gentle kiss and sighed. "I love you too," he whispered back. They shared another kiss.
AN: Sorry that this chapter was short. I really can't remember what happened in the movie so please forgive me.
