Save Me, Achilles (Brad Pitt)

Chapter 2

Achilles woke up the next morning sore, "I need to quit practicing every day" he said to himself, standing up and walking over to a reflection, "after all, I am the best" he bragged.
"Achilles! Achilles!" A young boy screamed and ran into Achilles' house.
"What is it Damson?" He asked the young boy, kneeling down in front of him.
"They're taking the women, they're taking them!" Damson was out of breath; "you need to save your mother Achilles, my mother is gone, she's gone" he began to weep. Achilles picked the child up and ran to his mother, "Mother! Mother! Where are you?" He screamed into the open.
She came out of her room; "oh, Achilles, what are you doing here my son?" She asked.
He took his mother and the young boy to a safe place without another word.
Looking around at the chaos, he remembered: Karrina.
He ran.
The noises of women and young girls echoed out of his mind and he started yelling for her.
He spotted her being picked up by a soldier of Greece, they were allowed to go ransom because the men were leaving for a month, so they took advantage.
"No!" He heard her cry, he seen her struggling and trying to get away from the soldiers arms but she was too weak.
Achilles ran over; "let go of her" he said through gritted teeth and stabbed the man under his left shoulder blade.
Karrina ran to Achilles. He picked her up and took her away.
He ran through the woods and sat her down.
"Are you okay? Did her hurt you?" Achilles kept asking her questions.
She wouldn't look at him, so he took her chin is his giant, rough hand and lifted her face up to him.
Her nose and mouth was bloody and she was crying.
Achilles got angry.
She grabbed onto his arm so he wouldn't go Jill more of Agamemnons men.
"No, Achilles, I'm okay" she said begging him to stay.
He shook her off, and he went into the city and started killing men, after men.
When he returned to Karrina, she was asleep in a field of flowers.
"She's so peaceful" he said to himself and she opened her blue eyes.
She looked over at him for a while, "when are you leaving?"
He would t answer her. So she stood up and started to walk over to him, although he didn't answer, she knew.
"It's a month isn't it?" She asked. He looked down at her; "how did you know?"
"Agamemnon" she said.
Achilles got mad again but this time, she didn't care.
"Why are you leaving? You're leaving your country, your mother, everything you love; and for what?" She kept going on a fueling his anger. "For some King you don't even serve?"
He looked at her and made fists.
"Oh what? Are you going to kill me now great Achilles?" She asked.
He went right after her but what he didn't know is that she was as great.
She grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind her. "No, I forbid you touching me" she said and he grabbed her by the throat. "I will have you know, I will squeeze your head off right now and hang it on my wall"
She wasn't scared, but couldn't breathe. So she did the unthinkable. She wrapped her legs around him and her arms around his neck and held onto him as tight as she could, knowing that it would release hormones to make him stop, and he did.
She got down and started walking away. She stopped and looked over at him.
"One day, I will be remembered as living in the time of Achilles" and with that, she was gone.
