Title: A Pact with Death

Author: Jayma

Summary: Briseis decides to make a pact with Hades, god of the Underworld, in order to get the man she loves back.

Disclaimer: The movie, Troy, does not belong to me, but let me tell you it is one of the absolute best movies!!

Author’s Note: I hope you all enjoy my first Troy fanfic and might I add, wasn’t the movie great! Especially Brad Pitt as Achilles! Oh man... Oh and just to let you know that I will alter the ending to the movie; don’t worry maybe it will be better than the movie version...

“Go, Troy is burning,” he managed to say while he was holding her face close to his.

“I can not leave you,” Briseis replied resting her forehead against his, dampening her face with his sweat, “You came for me and I do not want to leave you,” she continued as tears came rolling down her cheeks.

“I do not want you to get hurt, Briseis, just go,” he said wiping the tears away with his thumbs.

“Achilles please...” she whispered as she brushed her lips against his, “I love you. My Trojan heart has fallen for your Greek one; I can not live without you,” she finished and kissed the palm of his hands.

“Briseis we must go,” called out Paris from behind the two lovers. While keeping watch, Paris realized his mistake in killing his cousin’s love.

Briseis, who was on her knees with Achilles, instead of backing away, came closer to him. The night air was full of flying ash and the smell of burning wood was immense.

“My Greek heart would have been nothing without you. You have shown me the true light of love and life and I love you for that...” he began to choke blood from his mouth, a sign that the arrow through his heel will take his life sooner than expected. He spit the blood out and with the back of his hand wiped away the trace of blood.

“I will see you again,” she said placing her hands on his chest. She felt his heart beat in the same rhythm as hers and felt comforted.

“And I will await the day of our reunion, my love,” he said and with that hope he sealed with a kiss.

“Briseis please,” called out Paris once again, “We must go,” he finished saying as they finally broke the kiss.

Briseis brushed her hand through his hair one last time and then kissed the hands of the man that showed her to love. She released his grasp, reluctantly stood up from the grass floor, and left with Paris up the stone stairs.

Achilles saw her fled unwillingly and closed his eyes knowing that although this war brought about his death, it also found a way to open his heart.

A/N: I hope you guys like my story so far. I just wanted to alter the ending there because I wanted more fluff. Please review, and I hope to update soon (don’t worry I will). The more juicy chapter come later on...
