[ Bellona - Jennie ]
"Ligyron" I call out
The tall warrior turns to me with a look of hatred, sending a pang through my chest
"I am Achilles. Not Ligyron" He spat
I clench my fist behind my back and grin
"You are alone. That's what you are. Do us all a favour- and jump" I say gesturing in front of him
"I am worth more" he mutters looking back at the edge of the cliff
"No- you are not- your not worth more than the rats that plague the streets of Rome"
"You came to me and asked for my counsel, I give you my thoughts"
"No one asked your opinion" He mutters, tears sliding down his golden cheeks
"Just be done with now and jump off the edge" I force, walking right up behind him
"Do you hear me 'Achilles' I'm talking to you" I growl
"Achilles!" I spin and turn to see Athena and Ares running up to us
"We don't need a fake hero. Someone obsessed with the fame but not ready to deal with the aftermath"
He takes a step closer to the edge with a small nod
"Your a fraud- a cheat- a disgrace" I spit, tears welling in my eyes as Hector's smile fills my eyes
"Achilles don't listen!" The two Hellenes shout
I allow the tears to slide down my face
"Just die"
He jumps
--
I jump up in a sweat as my eyes focus on the end of the bed
I killed Achilles. Someone I was convinced would be my partner from birth. But he killed Hector. Someone I was convinced would be more than just a battle partner.
I remember the exact moment when he turned to me with a bright grin, holding his weapon proudly in his arm- the moment he came to embrace me- and the moment the blade drove through his stomach
"Jennie?!"
My head jerks up but my heart stops at the sight
Hector stands before me - eyes wide with worry as his hair falls casually over his face
"Jennie!" a shaking breaks me out of my trance as the face of my warrior disappears and instead replaced with the face of a Hellene
"Why are you crying?" She asks softly
"I'm not" I lie, pushing her away gently as I get up out of the bed
The world spins slightly as I get up, and I feel an arm wrap around me as I'm assisted
"okay- I won't ask why you are crying, but can you at least tell me your not in pain"
I look down at the ground as a single droplet of wet lands on my carpet leaving a grey mark
"I am"
Before I can even realise it, I'm pulled into a loose hug
"I know you'll probably kill me for this, but I don't know what else to do."
Damn- I must still have some alcohol in my system, because for some reason, I'm not hating this
