Thanks for the people who did review...
usakitten - He didnt die. thats why i said he never got burned like in the movie... because he never actually died in my story he just passed out from the pain... .Grr... its hard to explain, he just never died.
Priestess of the Myrmidon - Just as I told usakitten, basicly he didnt die, I'm sorry if anyone else wondered the same thing, I thought you guys would get the idea that he basicly didn't die. And that is fine with me go right again with the c2,
TriGemini - The reason Briseis got upset was because after all the years she finally had given up on seeing Achilles again and she thought he had died so she thought Paris was playing a cruel joke on her. And she tells him that because she does, he had been alive all this time and never came to her so she has a right to cry for the years she suffered raising her children on her own without him.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Troy, and the only characters I own in the stroy is Paris' children, Briseis' childrens, a few pesents, a few guards, and Andromache's daughter Anya
Troy: The New White Night
"Meeting Them"
Fianlly, Briseis calmed but felt like someone was hitting the back of her head trying to tell her something. Something wasn't right. Achilles died. This couldn't be him. She seen him. Paris shot him many times. She held onto him as his life slipped away. As she ran from him she knew he died. Why was this man here? Briseis was still in the same position, her knees to her chest and her head on her knees but she was just nothing but sniffles.
"Please, Bri-.." Achilles tried to say but was cut off by her glare and her voice.
"Don't... Don't say anything, ok? You come back all of a sudden, Do you even know what has happened in these last four years, Achilles?" Briseis asked Achilles, angry and upset. If he wasn't dead he could have come back to troy and maybe she would not have had to raise all five children by herself.
"No, Okay. I don't know what has happened but I had no choice. If I would have come back sooner, I would have, Briseis. If you would just give me a chance to explain myself-..." Achilles was once again cut off by an angry mother.
"No. Why should I even give you one? Yes we made love a couple of times. Yes there was a time when I did want you but, I have a new life now. I'm not the same little girl I was when we met." Briseis told him as more tears threatened to fall.
"Briseis, I get that, And I get your not a girl anymore, But I want to know the woman in you. I want to see what of you have become. I want to know you again." Achilles thought he would cry himself. All these years he was building up his strength and trying to get his mind from Briseis and move on, but he gave up when finally he found a way here.
"Do you want to know what happened, Achilles?" Briseis asked him. He shook his head no. "Then come with me." She told him and he obeyed. Briseis opened her door, Paris no longer there. She led him down the Hall a few turns and they came to a door. "This is what happened in the last 4 years. She opened the door and the 5 children were all napping. Achilles' eyes widened. She closed the door and put her hands across her chest. "They are what happened and because of our love affair, I am raising them myself and that's how it is going to stay." Briseis told him sternly. He shook his head.
"Okay, now YOUR messing with my head. They can't be mine. We made love a few times, not five." Briseis rolled her eyes. He knew nothing about the woman's birthing did he?
"Typical. We made love a few times, and one of those times, I got pregnant and ended up having all five of them. Sometimes I wish I had never fallen in love with you because maybe I would still be a priestess like I wanted but virgins can't be priestessess Achilles. The years I spent raising them, you missed out on it all. I had no help, some from the maids but It was never much. I raised them, not us." Briseis yelled at him, But hoping none of the children would wake up or come out for that matter. Achilles shook his head and stared into her evil eyes. They no longer held the warmth and love like he had seen toward him, It was cold and angry. He wanted to change it.
"I accept that, Briseis. But I want to be in their lives, I want to be in your life. No other woman has broke me untill I met you. If I would have known you had given birth to my children, especially five of them, I would have come back sooner but there was no way I could have. I still love you, Briseis and I want to love our children. Do you not want me to be here? Do you not want out children to know their father?" Achilles asked her, trying not to yell but more and more he sounded eager to get her to understand he was not the bad guy. He wanted a life with the mother of his children. If he had never met her he could bet all the money in the world, he would never be wanting this in a million years, even after death.
"I never said I didn't want you to be here. They have lived without their father so far. They never asked they dont question. If you want to be in their lives you tell them who you are and why you weren't here because I am not going to be the bad guy in this situation. This was never my fault that they never had a father. So you better start learning how to come up with a big apology for them." And with that Briseis turned around and walked off, fumed in anger. She was so upset and so fustrated. Deep down she was happy Achilles was back but could it be for the wrong reasons? Surely he didn't love her still... could he have?

"What is wrong, Lotus?" Briseis asked her daughter in the middle of the night as she sat next to her mother's bed crying. Lotus quickly crawled into the bed and hugged her mother. Briseis sat up and pulled her daughter into her lap. She looked down at her daughter and nodded. "Oh.. Its okay, love. Shhh. I'm here. It was just a dream." Briseis said trying to sooth her daughter. She had nightmares a lot. It was just about every other night, somtimes two nights in a row. Briseis hugged the brown haired girl to her and kissed her head. "I'm here, It's okay." She told her over and over, hopeing her words and her comfort would help her daughter.
Achilles watched in on the two. He had snuck onto her balcony when he heard crying coming from her room. As he looked in on the mother and daughter, Achilles felt terrible. It was just now hitting him that, he missed out on his children's life and he might never be able to make up for that. He had to show Briseis he could be a good father. He never had a father and didn't want his children to either. After a while of watching, his daughter had settled down and Briseis was just rocking them slowly on the bed. Briseis finally laid down, her daughter in her arms. Achilles smiled at the sight but wished he could be there with them. He let out a huff and snuck back to his room.
