A Change Of Alliances


Briseis felt a calloused hand touch her arm. She let out a blood-curdling scream.

"Briseis!" a male voice whispered. Briseis whimpered.

"Briseis!" the voice repeated. A pair of strong hands cupped her shoulders and shook her lightly.

"Briseis, wake up!" the voice behind the hands urged. She moaned then slowly opened her eyes.

Gone were the tent and the pole, and the hard dirt floor. Instead she gazed at a solid palace roof. The pole was replaced with a pillar, and the dirt floor by a soft warm bed.

"Briseis my love, what's wrong? You began thrashing about and screaming to be put down," a worried Achilles whispered. He caressed her cheek and brushed her long hair behind her ears.

"You…..you k…killed Hector," Briseis mumbled, a genuine look of terror adorned her face.

"What? Hector is in his room sleeping, well probably not sleeping, next to his wife. I have not killed him,"

"Do you swear that you won't become a traitor to Troy?"

"What? I….Briseis, what has brought this on?"

"I….I saw you kill Hector. You went up to Agamemnon with your sword drawn, then turned and killed Hector. You then began killing Trojans. Hundreds of the fell at you sword. You helped the Greeks destroy Troy, then you left me to be taken away." Briseis sobbed. Her shoulders shook and she began to cry.

"Hush, my love. I have already told you, I will not fight against Troy. My love for you is too strong as is my disdain for Agamemnon," Achilles wrapped his powerful arms around her, pulling her head to his chest.

"But…..I saw you,"

"It was just a dream my sweet," Briseis nuzzled her face into Achilles' shoulder and allowed her self to be comforted. Despite the fact that she new it was just a dream, she still felt uneasy. She had had dreams where what she saw happen really did happen and not long after she had dreamed it. Was her dream like the one Achilles had about changing sides? She prayed to the gods that it wasn't that it was just her over active mind and not a message of warning. All she could do was wait for morning to came, bringing the war with it.
