Well guys, here's another chapter. Sorry bout the wait, i have been on holiday and still am. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Troy or any of its characters.

"Herald!"

"Yes Sire"

"Get me my sons Hector and Paris now. Tell them to meet me in the throne room now." Priam demanded as he left the kitchens. As he reached the door, he turned back into the room to see the herald still standing where Priam had left him.

"Hurry, man! Why have you not yet gone?"

The herald started to speak but Priam cut him off.

"Herald?"

"Yes Sire."

"Fetch my sons to the throne room and fetch them NOW!"

"Yes Sire. Right a-a-aw-away" the herald stuttered.

The herald decided that it was best the aged King did not know what he had been ready to tell his Kingship. It would only put him in an even greater bad mood then what he was currently in.

PREVIOUSLY THAT DAY

The girl zigzagged through the maze of streets that was Troy, her fair hair flying behind her. As she reached the docks, she pulled up her hood to hide her hair and bartered for passage on the next boat headed for Greece.

Once her passage was secured, she turned and made her way back home. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she did not hear footsteps behind her. Only when the footsteps' owner overtook her and blocked her way did she snap out of her trance-like mood.

She tried to run but it was no use, her 'cornerer' was quicker, seeming to sense what she was about to do, he blocked her way and sneered at her.

Up came his hand, quick as a angry snake, with a block of wood in it. Down it came, rushing towards its unaware victim and SMACK! It connected with her head hard enough to knock her out for a good couple of days. He dragged into his house where he bound and gagged her before stashing her in a secret passage in the cellar.

'Yes,' he thought, 'she will do just fine.'

Her attacker/captor left his house, taking great care to lock it after him. He didn't want anyone taking his valuable prize before he bound her to him.

So guys, what do you think? I am begging you to PLEASE R&R PLEASE
