REVIEW

"Maybe." Said Astyanax defiantly crossing his arms. "Then say it to my face." Said Lilly stomping to him. Astyanax got out of his mother's lap and walked up to Lilly, "Stupid girl." Lilly kicked Astyanax in the shin, and took off running when Astyanax chased after her. Two men in black hooded cloths with mask walked into the dinning hall and the room froze.

----

"Lilly, Astyanax come here." Said Briseis.

"Where are the men of the palace? It's a shame they are not here." Said one of the men as they began circling the room.

"Don't worry mother I'll protect you." Said Astyanax standing in from of Andromache.

"Yea you hurt any of them even if you hurt Astyanax I'll hurt you more." Said Lilly standing next to Astyanax.

"Brave words from the futures of Troy and Phtia." Said one of the men. Three guards came into the room in a door that the cloaked men had come in. While the cloaked men were preoccupied Andromache pushed the other queens towards the door.

They had reached the open door when Helen asked, "Where are Lilly and Astyanax?" They looked back to see the children throwing food and dishes at the cloaked men. What was worse they were making a game of it, "Bet I could hit the ugly one with this bowl."

"Which one is that?" asked Lilly throwing a pear at one of the men. Briseis watched in frozen horror as one of the men stomped over to Lilly and started pulling her hair immediately she began crying. "Hey only I can do that!" yelled Astyanax cutting the man's hand with a knife. Of course the man let go of Lilly and went after Astyanax, "Run Lilly!"

"Stupid little boy you'll pay for that." Lilly ran down the table and grabbed a fork then she ran back to the man trying to get Astyanax. Lilly reached as far as she could (for reference was the man's butt) and stabbed him as hard as she could yelling, "He's not stupid!" The man screamed and ran around the room trying to get the fork out. "You brat!" Astyanax stood in front of Lilly with the knife in his hand. The other man had finished off two of the three Trojan guards.

"Don't touch her!" ordered Astyanax the man reached over him and touched Lilly's head. Three figures rushed past the queens into the dinning hall. Suddenly a fist slammed into the tender flesh of the man's under elbow causing the man to drop his sword.

"The boy tried to warn you." Said a cold voice.

"Thank the gods." Whispered Briseis. Hector was fighting the man who killed two Trojan guards.

Paris grabbed Lilly and Astyanax and took them to their mother's arms behind the partly closed door. Achillies saw the cut on the man's hand and said, "Let me take a look at that."

With those words he snapped the man's hand back with a disgusting crack. "Paris escort the women to a safer room until we come and send for you." Said Hector.

"Lilly promise me you shall never, EVER do anything like that again." Said Briseis. "Alright." Said Lilly reluctantly. Paris finally stopped them at his and Helen's room "Is everyone alright?"

" I almost lost my heart when I saw Lilly and Astyanax." Said Briseis sitting on the bed. "The same as I felt." Said Andromache hugging Astyanax.

"You have to agree it was slightly amusing the way Astyanax and Lilly were protecting each other." said Helen smiling. "It was cute what Lilly did with the fork." Said Briseis with a faint grin on her face.

Andromache let out a small laugh, "What did she do?" asked Paris.

"A man was chasing Astyanax, so Lilly grabbed a fork and yelled he's not stupid and stabbed the man in the butt."

Paris started laughing as did everyone else in the room. "Well well what is all the laughing about?" asked Hector as he and Achillies walked into the room. "What a terror your little niece is." Said Helen.

"Not my little Lilly." Said Achillies picking her up and putting her in his lap as he sat on the bed.

"Well your son cut a man." Said Briseis smiling at Hector. "Daddy what did you and uncle Hector do with those men?" asked Lilly.

"They took a trip." Said Achillies. "Where did you send them?" asked Astyanax.

"To a friend very south of here son." Said Hector. "Good! They were very bad, they called Astyanax stupid, and only I can do that." Said Lilly. Astyanax nodded his head, "Yea, hey! After I saved you, you still think I'm stupid?"

"Well I saved you and you are older then me so am I still stupid?" asked Lilly crossing her arms frowning.

"Now, now children." Said Andromache. "If you don't mind I'm going to put Lilly down for a nap." Said Briseis. "But mommy!" whined Lilly.

"Ha ha you have to take a nap." Taunted Astyanax. "And so do you little prince." Said Andromache taking Astyanax's hand and leading him out of the room followed by everyone else but Paris and Helen.

"Alone at last." Said Paris flopping onto the bed.

"How did you know what was going on?" asked Helen sitting next to Paris.

"We didn't. We were almost to the gates when Achillies had dropped his sword in the dining room. We heard the commotion and came to rescue you."

"Well I am glad you came when you did. And I'm glad that Achillies had dropped his sword." Said Helen cuddling up to Paris.

"So am I, I don't want to think what would have happened if anything had happened to any of you." said Paris hugging Helen to him.

(At same time as P&H)

"Hector is your arm bleeding?" asked Andromache looking him over.

"Just a small cut." Said Hector covering it up.

"Let me see it, just let me tuck Astyanax in." said Andromache. When she shut the door Andromache said, "Let me see it."

"No."

"Don't act like such a child."

"No, and I am not being a child." Said Hector backing away.

"Yes you are, you're running from me." Protested Andromache walking towards Hector.

"Am not." Said Hector backing up quickly. "Are."

"Not."

"Are."

"Not."

"Are."

During that whole exchange they walked faster and faster. "Now I am." Said Hector turning and running.

"Hector of Troy come back this instance!" yelled Andromache.

When he didn't she pulled up her dress and ran after him. Andromache turned a corner and Hector grabbed her. They started laughing, "Hector let go of me." Hector started kissing Andromache's neck.

"Hector…." "Yes?" he mumbled. "Let me see your arm." "That's alright, as your king I command you not to worry about it." Hector whispered into her ear. " Well," said Andromache pulling away from him, "As your wife I command you to let me see it."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes."

"Fine."

"Come on then." Said Andromache leading Hector back down the hallway.

The couple got to their room and Hector sat on the bed while Andromache got a bowl of water and some cloth.

Andromache sat next to Hector and gently rolled up his sleeve.

Hector flinched slightly as Andromache cleaned the small wound, "That hurt." Whined Hector.

"Stop fidgeting then." Said Andromache. "I'm not."

"And stop arguing with me, I'm almost done."

"Fine."

Andromache tied a cloth around Hector's arm. "That better?"

"No." said Hector frowning.

Andromache kissed the bandage over his wound, "Better?"

"A little."

"What's wrong now?"

"My lips hurt."

"Well there's nothing I can do about that." Said Andromache grinning and getting up. "Oh no you don't." said Hector grabbing Andromache's arm and pulling her back onto the bed.

End of this chapter

Well I hope you enjoyed it'll go back to Achillies and Briseis' point of view for the next chapter. It may take a bit for me to be able to post though because someone set some stuff on fire at my school and I'm trying to help clean up and stuff like that so please have a little patience with me.
