BACK IN TROY

"Father! I can't find him or her anywhere!" said Hector breathing heavily. Priam was very upset. He put his hand to forehead and rubbed it.

"Where on Earth could your brother be?" asked Priam as he paced back and forth. Hector's cousins Nereus and Nastor walked in quietly. Priam noticed them quickly.

"Did you find Paris?" asked Priam hopefully.

"No. Nobody has seen him," said Nestor. The King sighed and sat on his throne. Hector remained hopeful.

"We will find him, father. I'll keep searching," Hector retorted.

"No Hector, you are sailing to Sparta. You need to go, you have to. Don't worry, we'll keep searching. I will find your brother," said Priam and gave a meek reassuring glance.

"Father…" said Hector. Priam shook his head quickly.

"You must go, you're leaving this afternoon, you must be on your way." Nastor and Nereus nodded their heads in approval of the King's words. Hector gave a heavy sigh and left. What trouble did Paris get himself into this time?

"What about Princess Helen?" asked Priam.

"No sign of her either," said Nereus. He smiled at Nastor and looked away. The king of Troy caught the glance and stared at them.

"What?" asked Priam suspiciously. Nastor opened his mouth, but shut it quickly and looked at Nereus. "Spit it out!"

"Well, uncle, do you think maybe Paris and Helen left out of their own free will?" Nastor asked and Nereus smirked at his question.

"Why would he do such a thing?" Priam asked sounding insulted.

"They are young lovers."

"And maybe they wanted some more….alone time," said Nereus and started to laugh to himself.

"Never!" said Priam sternly and got up. "I must see Hector quickly before he leaves," and scurried out of the room. Nereus laughed.

"Our dear cousin, Paris, won't be coming back," whispered Nastor. Nereus looked at him deviously and quirked an eyebrow. "I saw him leave on a ship. I saw him in the garden, he killed his little whore of a wife and left to Sparta. He wouldn't have the guts to come back, he's a coward."

"Why didn't you tell uncle? Why would he do such a thing?" asked Nereus. Nastor rolled his eyes.

"Helen was fooling around and little Paris couldn't take it. Besides, Uncle Priam doesn't need to know they won't find Paris anyway, he doesn't want to be found. With him out of the way, there is only Hector left to deal with. I had a plan to rid of Paris, but this works out so much more sweeter."

"Oh, but why are we getting rid of Hector? I like Hector," said Nereus.

"Uh, you idiot. If our uncle has no more heirs to the throne, his nephews would be next in line you idiot!" yelled Nastor and hit him. Nereus shook his head in approval. One down, one to go.

BACK IN SPARTA

Lenora and Paris had fallen asleep and didn't even realize when Carissa and Ida came home. "LENORA!" screamed Ida and ran into the bedroom. She found them sound asleep and jumped on her "Wakey wakey!" She opened one eye and looked up at Ida on top of her. Kids! I really hope I wasn't this annoying when I was 7, good thing she's cute. Lenora laughed at herself and looked back up at Ida.

"Good morning, Ida!" she said and looked over at Paris who was still asleep through all the screaming and looked so cute all rolled up.

"It's afternoon! Hey…who's that?" Ida asked curiously and pointed over to him.

"That is Lysander, he's my new friend," said Lenora sticking out her tongue at the little 7-year old and giggled. Idadidn't find this amusing, she looked as she was about to cry.

"Boys are gross and I thought I was your friend!" she said as she actually started to cry.

"He's just my new friend," she whispered. "Now, go help your mom." Ida nodded her head and ran out of the room, almost tripping on her dress. She laughed quietly to herself and shook Paris's arm. "Wake up sleepy head!" she screamed in his ear and Paris jumped up. He backed up so far, he fell off the bed. Lenora started to roar with laughter. Extremely dizzy, Paris got up and looked at her, smiling. "Hi." Lenora smiled back at the prince and winked at him.

"Hello to you too," Paris retorted. Suddenly, Ida came running into the room.

"Mom wants me to tell you that supper's read if you guys are hungry…" she stopped when she looked at Paris. "Oh, the FRIEND-STEALER is awake!" said Ida angrily and crossed her arms.

"What?" asked Paris confused and looked over to Lenora.

"She thinks you replaced her on my friend list," she whispered while laughing quietly.

"Lenora, Lysander, Ida!" yelled Carissa. "I made dinner if you're hungry." Ida stuck out her tongue at Paris and stomped to the table. Lenora smiled and pulled the prince with her to the room. They all sat down on a few old wooden stools that were around a old wooden table. For dinner wasn't much, at least not what Paris was used to, but he was totally starving and his head was running through all the events that had led to this moment. I can't believe I'm eating supper with a girl I hardly know. Paris looked over at her slowly. I'm in love with this woman, I shouldn't get too involved with her. He hated having to lie to her, but he didn't feel he could trust her just yet entirely. She hadn't said much about what had happened before they went to sleep and Paris DID NOT want to bring it up. What was I thinking? I must be going crazy.

On the table were four buns, a few potatoes, and some fish. They all started top dig in and Carissa started the dinner conversation. "So, Lenora, after you two ran in here, I never got a chance to ask how you met him?" Ida rolled her eyes and sighed.

"He saved me at the market," replied smiling. Paris blushed and gave a little shrug. Carissa nodded and laughed.

NEXT DAY IN SPARTA

"Lenora! Wake up!" yelled Ida and threw one of her sandals at her. Lenora and Paris opened their eyes slowly.

"What is it?" asked Lenora as she got out of bed in the other room. Paris got up off the hay bed on the floor. Paris had insisted the night before that it was improper. He had thought back out of all the times when he would sleep in any woman's' bed, including Helen's.

"We're going to the shore to watch boats," replied Ida excitedly and ran out. They both walked into the kitchen area to find Carissa stirring something in a pot.

"Boats?" asked Lenora confused. Paris pushed his brown hair back. It was a complete mess, he looked at his reflection in the pot that Carissa was stirring and sighed. He looked so dirty and tired.

"Oh, Ida's excitied to see the ships come into Sparta. They are coming to talk to the King," replied Carissa and smiled.

"Oh wow, did you hear that Lysander? That'll be fun." Paris smiled back. He remembered back to the many times he had been on a ship with his brother. It's so funny how Lenora gets excited over so many little things. He laughed to himself quietly. "Where are they coming from?' Lenora asked in excitement.

"Troy!" said Carissa smiling. "It'll be so fun! Maybe we'll see the princes!" Paris's eyes widened and he made a small gasp. Ida, Carissa, and Lenora all looked at him. The gasp sound of surprise he had made hadn't been as quiet as he thought.

"What is it?" asked Lenora surprised. What am I going to do? I can't go to the shores, Hector will probably be with them and he'll find me!

"Nothing," said Paris laughing nervously. They all gave him a 'you're nuts' look and shrugged.

"Hey, you're from Troy, maybe you'll recognize the ship! Let's go!" Lenora said and smiled while pulling Paris. "We'll meet you two there later," she yelled to Ida and Carissa. Paris didn't get a chance to object and they were running to the shores where civilians were lined up and watching as the ships had arrived. Paris pulled on his cloak he grabbed and pulled on the hood. Lenora looked at him and laughed. "Aren't you hot in that?"

"No," he replied. Lenora and Paris saw Hector come off the boat with some other Trojans as he waved at the people. They were at the back of the crowd and were a far enough distance to be unnoticed.

"Gotch!" said one of the guards pulling Lenora by her hair. She screamed. "I knew I'd find you!" Paris tried to hit the man and he grabbed his arm. "I got you too! I'm gonna lock you two up for good!" Hector heard Lenora's cries and quickly ran through the crowd.

"What's going on?" asked Hector concerned. The guard straightened up and smiled at the prince.

"Oh nothing, just got this thief and her little friend," he replied and laughed. Hector looked at Lenora who looked away from him and looked at the other man with a cloak pulled tightly over his head. He walked over to him and pulled the hood down. His eyes widened. It was Paris.

"Paris!" yelled Hector in surprise, the younger prince turned away from him. "Let go of them!" The guard released his grip as he realized it was Prince Paris from Troy "Where have you been? Father and everyone have been looking everywhere for you!" Lenora's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about? That is Lysander!" said Lenora confused. Hector looked at Paris and shook his head.

"No, it is my brother, Prince Paris. He has been missing for a little while now, I never guessed he would come to Sparta," said Hector sounding disgusted. Lenora stared at the young prince in disbelief.
