A/N: It's been brought to my attention that Thebe was destroyed. But I am going to pretend that it didn't happen because without Thebe I have absolutely no way to continue the story. So please just pretend that it wasn't destroyed. Thanks

Disclaimer: Listen I owned it I would have done the research and that would mean that I would know all the twists and turns of the actual legend.

This chapter took ages to write. Sorry it took so long I've been working on it since Monday or Tuesday.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Paris had called together a meeting of all the survivors.

"My people. We have decided that we shall go to Thebe. We shall be welcomed there for Princess Andromache is one of them. But Thebe is a long way off and we need to go now before it is too cold. We wish to leave today. Also some of you may have noticed that Princess Briseis and Princess Helen have not been feeling there best over these last few weeks. That is because they are both pregnant-"

A gasp went through the small crowd listening.

"Because of this they will have difficulty traveling and they might need to eat more. So I beg you to help them as best you can."

Briseis wasn't standing with the crowd instead she was in the forest practicing with her bow. Paris and her had managed so set up a target suitable for her skills.

"So this is where you and Paris always disappear too," said a voice behind her.

Andromache stood behind her.

"Yes. He's been teaching me to shoot a bow."

"Well I must say you're very good. I don't think my brothers were ever able to shoot like that."

"You flatter me," she said with modesty although inside she felt wonderful.

"No you're very good."

"You're not that bad with a dagger you know."

Andromache chuckled, "I have some skills yes. My brothers once tried to teach me archery but I never got the hang of it."

Briseis nodded.

Finally the question she had been dying to ask popped out of her mouth, "How did the crowd react to the news of my pregnancy?"

"They were shocked. But I didn't stand around long enough to find out what they said after that."

Briseis was almost crying, "I am so scared Andromache. What if we're still out here when I give birth to the baby? What if I can't raise the baby properly? What if it grows to be the spitting image of its father and the people suspect that Achilles is the father?"

"We will be at Thebe by the time the baby is born. You will be a wonderful mother and you will have help to raise it. And even if the people find out about the father it doesn't matter, if they find out what can they do about it? The baby will be fine and so will you."

Briseis nodded, "I know you're right I'm just being stupid."

"No you're not you're just concerned for the baby. But don't worry it will be okay."

"Thank you."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Achilles was staring into the water with a blank expression on his face.

"Achilles are you okay?" asked Hector.

"I was just thinking. It might get boring watching earth all the time. It's a shame that I didn't have a sword so I could practice my drills. I mean even if I am dead it would still be good to know how to use one."

Suddenly a sword fell right in front of Achilles' feet.

"Did I forget to mention that if you want something it will be delivered to you?" asked Darrius.

"Yes you did forget to mention that."

"Well now you know."

Achilles picked up the sword to start some drills while Hector and Darrius continued watching the pool.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

All of the survivors were walking by the river. Paris was in the front leading.

It was almost nightfall and the people were starting to complain about how they wanted to stop and rest.

"We've been walking for hours we must stop. Soon Apollo will rest and we won't be able to hunt for more food," said one of the men who had become friends with Paris.

"Fine let's set up camp."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Is their anything interesting going on?" asked Achilles who was in the middle of a complicated sword drill.

"No. The Trojans have been travelling for hours and they're setting up camp now," said Darrius sourly.

"You should probably check on Odysseus. Maybe he's closer to finding them then he was before."

Hector nodded and looked back into the pool to see Odysseus.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Odysseus and his men were on the beach loading a ship with treasures that had been stolen from Apollo's treasury.

"I guess you were right there were no survivors. I just want to know what happened to Paris, Helen, and Hectors wife," said Odysseus with a sigh.

"Maybe there was survivors my lord. Maybe we just couldn't find them," said one soldier.

Odysseus nodded, "Well it doesn't make a difference. Troy is nothing but a heap of ruins now. Even if I could find them and return their lands what difference would it make?"

"None my lord. None at all."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Well the Trojans don't have to feel threatened anymore," said Hector with a sigh.

"What's going on?" asked Achilles.

"Odysseus is leaving this land. He is going home."

Achilles nodded, "He probably misses his wife and son."

Hector nodded, "For some reason I don't think this is the last time we'll be watching Odysseus."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

When the Trojans woke up the next morning they barely had any time too stretch their limbs before they were off marching to Thebe again.

This time Andromache was in the front with Paris.

"We're making good time considering all the people we have. I say we should be there within a month," said Andromache with a hint of glee in her voice.

"Thank goodness. These people are really getting tired of sleeping outdoors. They're always complaining about the cold, or the bugs, or how the ground it too hard."

"Well Paris that is what a king does."

"I know I just never thought that I would be doing this I always thought it would be Hector."

Andromache choked down some tears, "So did I Paris. So did I."

Briseis and Helen were walking with some women at the back of the line.

Briseis could feel them staring at her with various expressions. Some with pity, some with disgust, and some with scorn.

"Helen I'm going to go talk with Paris and Andromache," she said in barely more then a whisper.

Helen nodded.

"Poor Briseis," she whispered when Briseis was out of ear shot.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Priestess of the Myrmidon: Well as I stated earlier I'm going to pretend that Thebe wasn't destroyed. Sorry if you hate me for it but I need it for the story.

DreamSprite: Thanks.

Queen Arwen: Hector is going to visit her in the next story. But don't worry this story is almost done. Thanks for the review.

Celebwen Telcontar: Yes I've read your story. It's rather good. It's rather similar to this one with the whole Achilles and Hector watching them thing. Glad you liked this chapter.

tankbbq: Okay well I'll try to spice it up a bit and make it clear about who is talking. They will come eventually and the baby will be born soon.

Simizar Aurelia Hallowell: Dang it why does it have to be so hard? Okay Briseis got it!
