A/N: Ok I know this one is short and I apologise but to make up for it I will post the next chapter as well.
Thank you to my reviewers!!
brw1001: I am so glad that you love my story! I sure will keep writing it! I hope you enjoy the next two chapters.
Phantom-Christine-Phan12: An amazing start? really? awesome! thank you! Here's another update for you.
Momotaru: You like? cool! i hope you continue to like it!
Amester: Amester, thank you for reviewing! I can always rely on you to give me a review. You think that one was sexy? Reviewers don't bother me, it's those who read the stories and don't say anything, and I know that people read this or at least click on it because it has around 500 hits. I have a friend who has written many good stories and barely ever gets reviews. One of the reviewers even said the story should have 39 reviews instead of only two (including that one), I have another two stories that don't have amny reviews, although someone has set an alert on a oneshot of mine. I have 12 reviews! When I saw that I nearly fell out of my chair I couldn't believe it. I'm not happy, I'm ecstatic!!
Ok, thank you so so so so so so so much to all my reviewers!!! It means so much to me that you review! Here's another chapter for you all, enjoy. Hey, I'm sorry about sounding rude last chapter, I was stressed. ENJOY!
A Change Of Alliances
"The Greeks are coming! The Greeks are coming!" a voice in the distance woke Achilles and Briseis from their peaceful sleep. Achilles shifted, so that he could look at her. Briseis' hair was messed and she had sleep near her eyes, but, to Achilles, she was as beautiful as ever. Briseis pulled him into a sleepy hug.
"Duty calls," he said as he pulled out of her embrace and went to put on his armour.
"Please stay," she pleaded, patting the spot on the bed where she wanted him to be.
"Sorry, my love. I promised that my men and I would fight for Troy, now I must keep my promise, otherwise I fear that your cousins will have my head on a spear," Achilles paused in putting on his armour to give Briseis a quick kiss on the lips. Briseis stood, gathering the sheet around her body like a towel.
"Let me help," she whispered as she took the breastplate from him. Carefully she tied the breastplate to him, talking softly as she went.
"I don't want to be a wife waiting at home for a husband she may never see again. I want to know that you will come back to me, that you won't turn against us," she whispered. Her words cut Achilles to the core. The fact that there was still some distrust between them broke his heart.
Turning to face her, he spoke.
"Not any war on earth could keep me from coming back to you. As for turning against Troy, I would fight against anyone you wanted me to, for whatever reason you saw fit. I love you Briseis, and for that reason alone I will not raise my sword against any Trojan, unless he threatens you in any way," Achilles caressed her arms as he spoke, his words soothing her worries.
Briseis wiped the tears from her eyes, a smile upon her lips.
"Go, your men need you. I'll be here waiting for your return," she kissed him softly, then helped him put on the rest of his armour.
Lastly, before he left for the battle, he smiled at her, and then disappeared through the doorway. Briseis sighed and plopped down on the bed.
TO BE CONTINUED…..
A/N: Please tell me what you think, I really really want to know!
