Chapter 15

Briseis hurriedly made her way across the palace grounds. It was rather late but she didn't care she needed to see Hector, now. As she rounded a corner she saw a palace guard coming her way, making his rounds.

"Lady Briseis? Are you alright my lady?" the guard asked worriedly as he quickly approached her.

She held up her hands, "No, I am alright just�out for a walk continue with your duties." Without another word she walked passed him and continued on her way. She didn't want to alarm the young soldier and tell him she must speak with Hector. Surely by morning every soldier in Troy would think something had changed for the worse. At this point she wasn't sure if it had.

Just remember to keep calm Briseis she told herself as she turned down the hall to Hector's room. The closer she got the more nervous she became. Would he take her seriously or would he dismiss her claims and send her off. She approached the door and stopped to compose herself. She held her hand up to knock and remembered that baby Astyanax was also in the room. So she would not wake him she used a dull thud for a knock and only hoped that either Hector or Andromache would hear it. A few moments passed and nothing. She started to knock again but the door suddenly opened and Hector stood before her with an angry expression. It quickly faded away when he saw whom had woken him.

"Briseis?" he quickly stepped into the hall and closed the door slightly so the light from the hall would not wake Andromache or Astyanax. "Are you alright it's the middle of the night?" he asked worriedly stepping closer to her.

She shook her head and held up her hands. "I'm sorry for bothering you this late and I know this is going to sound crazy but�Achilles came to me�in a dream, " she explained looking him in the eye hoping he would take her seriously. She was surprised when a disturbed looked crossed his handsome face.

When Achilles returned her he mentioned to Hector she had a dream about the attack that he was supposed to lead that morning, and that he had killed his cousin. He took her by the arm and lead her down the hall to a more quiet, private place for them to talk. He guided her into an empty room and shut the door behind them. He locked the door and turned to face her. "Achilles�came to you in a dream?" he stated more than he questioned.

She nodded, "I know it sounds crazy Hector but I'm telling you it was so real as if he were in the room with me." she paused to gather her thoughts. "He's here, somewhere near the city. He never left with his Myrmidons." She stated plainly.

He narrowed his eyes and looked away in thought. He only meant to deceive Agamemnon he realized. Everything started to fall into place then. Achilles only gave him enough information to help and protect him. He turned to look back to Briseis. "What did he tell you?" he asked curiously.

She wrapped her arms around her waist and took a deep breath then looked him in the eye. "He is in league with King Odysseus. He told me to tell you when the time came you must let Odysseus' army into the city." She waited for a reaction but he remained still and silent, not what she expected. "He said it would be our only chance against Agamemnon."

"What of the other Kings?" he asked getting more curious. "Ithaca and our army together will not be enough to hold off Agamemnon's forces."

"Achilles believe Odysseus will unite Agamemnon's armies against him, " she noted.

"Actions speak louder than words Briseis. King Odysseus will need to do more than 'talk' his fellow Kings into mutiny, " Hector argued quietly.

"I think that will be the purpose of his revolt, " she added quietly. "Perhaps the site of King Odysseus leaving Agamemnon's army will be enough to coax them."

Hector sighed, "Or make them angry enough to storm the city." He folded his arms across his chest and paced a few times before stopping. "Did he tell you anything else?"

She mutely shook her head and closed her eyes, "No."

Hector watched her carefully for a long moment and stepped next to her and touched her arm. "Are you sure you're alright Briseis?"

She took a deep breath and let it out quickly. "I can't help but wonder�is everything going to work out? How many lives will be lost because of this useless war?"

Hector smiled sadly, "War is never useful cousin, but that is not why you are saddened�is it?" He met her eyes with understanding.

She fidgeted under his gaze and tried to avoid his eyes. Other than Hector and Andromache no one knew of her 'relationship' with Achilles and she would rather keep it that way until the time was right or she could no longer hide it. "I miss him�" she trailed off. "�Andromache used to tell me how she would ache for you when you were gone for long periods of time. I used to think it was trifle of her but now I understand what she meant."

"He cares for you deeply, " he acknowledged softly. "I watched him as the guards took you into the palace. He looked as if his heart had been torn from his chest. It must have pained him greatly to bring you home." He took her hands and brought them to his lips and kissed them. "To release the only thing that could bring him peace was his ultimate act of love�and I am forever grateful to him for that."

She smiled sadly and allowed him to bring her into a hug. Hector's arms were such a sanctuary to her. Other than Achilles he was the only man she felt utterly safe with. She loved Paris dearly but he was no man when it came to such matters. She snuggled further into his chest and she felt him chuckle and wrap his strong arms more tightly around her.
