War of the Heart

Troy fan fiction, A/B P/H and H/OFC. Rate T

This story fallows the basic plot of the movie but with some change such as: Andromache died in child birth giving Hector his son. Achilles has a younger sister (of about 6 years) who went to Troy alongside her brother and cousin and she had a pervious history with Helen. The ages are also different for some of the main characters (because I don't know their actually ages) At the start of the war (it lasted for ten years) Achilles = 20; Hector = 20; Paris= 18; Helen= 18; Bersis= 17 OFC= 15.

Summary: Achilles has a younger sister named Korinna, whom he loves dearly. He takes her to Troy with him and Patroclus so that she could be near him since he doesn't trust Agamemnon to leave her out it, this way he can watch over her. However after a while Korinna grows up and becomes the Myrmidons Healer, and is later captured by the Hector who becomes taken with her. Is better than it sounds.

Korinna guard : Aesop?

Prologue:

When Helen was a young child up to the point she married Menelaus she only had one true friend. Her name was Korinna and she was the little sister of the most famous warrior of all of Greece; Achilles of Phita. She was a three seasons younger then Helen but she didn't care, she was just happy to be near someone who was carefree and wasn't after her beauty. Helen thought fondly of those days, when they would play in a felid full of wildflowers and make flower crowns for each other; and cherished them after she left to marry Menelaus at the age of thirteen. She still remembered the last day they saw each other, and it brought both joy and sadness to her heart.

She was standing along the beach of Phtia watching her firend picking small sea shells from a large tide pool. Helen wasn't sure how long she stood there before she was brave enough to call out to her, but Helen knew that her mother would be calling for her soon.

"Korinna!" Helen called out snapping the young girl, of about ten season old, out of her trance.

"Helen!" Korinna answered back, her unruly bright blond hair blowing behind her as she ran to Helen. Her bright sea green eyes shined with excitement when she saw Helen, which made Helen feel worse. When Korinna got up to her she gave Helen a huge hug. "I'm so happy to see you. I didn't think I would until the summer (it was about mid spring at the time)." Korinna then hid the small shells behind her back suddenly. "I was working on a surprise for you, for your birthday."

Helen smiled sadly at her friend, tears forming in her eyes. "Korinna, I have something to tell you."

"What wrong, why are you crying?" Korinna asked almost in tears herself. Being half nymph Korinna was more emotionally attuned to others and felt them herself. It was one of the reasons why Helen like hanging out with Korinna, she always knew how to cheer her up.

"Korinna…. I'm getting married." Helen said, trying to hold back her sobs. Korinna looked back at her oddly.

"Why?" she asked.

"My parents are making me marry the king of Sparta, his name is Menelaus."

"I still don't understand. Your only three seasons older than me and my father and mother say that I'm too young to even think about marriage."

"Well my parents have a different opinion then yours Korinna." Helen answered back.

"Well, I'm sure your husband will be fun just like you. Maybe we'll all be good friends." Korinna said, trying to cheer Helen up but not understanding what was going on.

"No I don't think we will." Helen said quietly, trying not to break down.

"What do you mean? Did I do something wrong?" Korinna said, tears streaming down her face.

"No you didn't, it's just…. Menelaus… he won't let me see you anymore after we're married. And my parents are forcing me to marry him. I came to tell you goodbye Korinna." Helen said now completely loosing it.

"When?" Korinna said crying.

"In three days. My parents will be calling me any moment now."

"Well then I want you have this." Korinna said taking off her sea shell necklace. "My mother made this for me a few weeks ago and I was going to make you one for your birthday but…. Since I won't be able to see you then… I want you to have this one. This way you won't forget about me." Korinna put the necklace in Helen's shaking hand.

"Oh Korinna," Helen said as she embraced Korinna for the last time. "I will never forget you, never." They both hugged each other for a few more moments before Helen's parents started calling her. " I have to go now."

"I'll miss you Helen." Korinna said before Helen ran up the hill to her parents. Helen could here Korinna crying for her brother as they left and she cried as she put Korinna's necklace around her neck.

Helen thought these thoughts even now as she escaped from the prison that separated her from her only friend, with the one she loved with all her heart. She still wore Korinna's necklace everyday and kept her promise to her friend. She only hoped that her actions wouldn't put her in danger.

"My love, what are you thinking about?" Paris asked as they sat in the lower compartment together. Helen turned and gave her love a kiss on the cheek.

"Just a childhood friend my love." She answered fondly clutching the seashells in her hand.

"Was that the friend who made you that necklace?"

"Yes, she was my only friend before I went to Sparta. She gave me this the day I said goodbye to her. I miss her very much." Helen answered softly and then looked into her lovers eyes. Helen knew that if they had met before she was betrothed to Menelaus they would all be good friends, just like Korinna would have wanted.

"When we get to Troy, I'll send emissaries out to look for your lost friend. Then she's come live in the Palace and you two will be united once again. I promise." Paris proclaimed, quite pleased with himself.

"Yes, that would be great my love. I'm sure you two would have been the best of friends." Helen answered, appeasing her lover and new future husband. However, she was sure that if he knew whom she was talking about, that dream would never happen. After all, Achilles would never let his sister leave for Troy, not after what they just did. What Helen didn't know however, was that her childhood friend wasn't a child anymore and she had her own fate to fallow this time.
