This summer was different than the others 23 summer I had before. My friend Meg decided to take me with her family to Greece for the summer. I of course loved to go anywhere away from my weirdo aunt who preferred to try and marry me off as soon as possible. I do admit though I didn't know much about Greece, I was a bigger fan of Egypt but hey as long as I am away from Aunt Tillie then it's a good thing.

Her parents were like my second parents. They loved me like their own. Meg's mom even referred to me as her daughter most of the time.

In Greece, Meg and I were at the beach. I loved the ocean and especially swimming in it. Meg made me wear a ridiculously expensive bathing suit. It didn't bother her I mean her parents were rich and mine well lets not even go there.

"You know, I really like it here." I hear Meg say with a laugh.

I look over at her admiring the men that keep looking at her.

"You would, Please I mean is there anyone on this beach who wouldn't look at you?" I ask her with a friendly smile.

"Good point, I can't help it I am attractive." She says as she giggles. "Come on let's get into the water."

I reluctantly follow her into the water in this bikini that I am really not use to but I still have my skirt tied around my waist. We get pretty far out when I hear Meg scream. I try to find her when I feel a suction below me and before I know it the water sucks me under. I think I am dying at first then I swim as hard as I can and finally reach the top of the water and look around. I look and can barely see the beach ahead of me but still no sign of Meg.

"YOU!" I hear someone call out to me.

I turn back and see a boat, there on the deck is a man looking at me. Then he jumps in and swims after me. I feel him put his arms around me and starts to swim with me to the boat. A few other men help me on board but I can barely keep my eyes open.

"What is she?" I hear one man ask.

"We will find that out later for now she needs to rest, I'll take her below deck." I hear the man who saved me say as he picks me up.

I don't know how long I was asleep but I finally managed to open my eyes and see someone looking right at me. He's blonde very well built with the blue eyes. Of course he just smiles at me.

"What is your name?" he asks me.

"Diana." I reply very quickly.

"You were in the middle of the ocean when I saved you. Are you going to tell me how you came to be there?" he asks me.

Once I get a better view of my surrounding I realize I am not in my own time.

"I was swimming with Meg and I was pulled under the water, I swam up to the surface and that is when you found me. Was there another girl you found?" I ask him.

"No, only you. That I know of." He tells me as he looks down at my clothes.

Oh no I forgot I am wearing a bikini in front of him. Well this is embarrassing. I try to cover myself up with my hands but that doesn't do very good.

"You wear strange clothes, my men could not take their eyes off of you. Perhaps you should change?" he says as he turns to his left and another man give him some clothes.

I watch them carefully, the other seems to be younger. Just as attractive though. What am I thinking? Really did I get hit on the head or something? The blonde man hands me the clothes.

"I am Achilles and you are now under my protection. No one will harm you so have no fear." He tells me as he and the other turn away from me.

I quickly put the robes on over my swimsuit. They are still a little short for my liking especially the top. It seems to show more cleavage then I wanted but I really have no choice.

"You can turn around now." I tell them as I cross my arms.

"This is Patroclus my cousin. Diana is the woman I saved from the ocean I trust you will watch her until we reach Troy." Achilles says as he walks out of the room.

"Are you named after the goddess of the hunt?" he asks me.

"I don't think so, do I share her name?" I ask him.

"Yes you do, are you not Greek?" he asks me again.

"No, I am not from anywhere close to here." I tell him as I sit back down on the cot.

"You were wearing odd clothing, very revealing." He says as I seem him blush a little.

"Thanks to my friend Meg, she was the one who insisted that I wear it and now you and your shipmates have seen more of me then I like." I tell him as I put my hand over my face.

"You were embarrassed?" he asks as he comes to my side.

"Of course, I admit though I don't know when or where I am." I tell him slowly lifting my hand off my face.

"We are on our way back to Troy, you have just entered a war my lady." He tells me with a little smile.

"You're kidding? The Trojan war? Over Helen of Troy?" I ask him in shock as I stand up.

"Yes, Achilles leads our warriors." He tells me as he slowly stands.

Oh my god I think to myself. I went back in time! I'm no longer in 2015 I am well to be honest I have no idea when this war happened but I know it was a hell of a long time ago.

"You look shocked my lady? Do you not know of this war?" he asks me.

"Oh no I do know of this war, I just didn't think I would be in it." I tell him as I look around the room.

"No harm will come to you, my cousin has already told you that you are under his protection." Patroclus tells me as he touches my arm.

"Yeah, well I don't know who needs more protection him or I." I say as I pull away and keep my distance from him.

"Do you fear me?" he asks me.

"Not exactly I fear this whole situation." I say as I watch him.

"DIANA!" I hear Meg call out to me.

I turn and follow where the voice is coming from. I find Meg with three other men cornering her. I run in front of her and block them with my body.

"Get the hell away from my sister!" I yell at them.

"We just helped her onto the boat, she was in the ocean like you but we wouldn't mind sitting with her." One man says licking his lips.

"Go find another whore I can tell you now she won't have you!" I tell him as he is about to slap me I see another hand come forward and catch his.

"Enough! You saved the girl now go back to your station." I hear Achilles say.

The men reluctantly turn away as Meg stands up behind me staying close to my back.

"So this is your sister? You stood up to my men for her honor?" he asks me.

"As long as I am around no harm will ever come to Meg. Especially when I can stop it." I tell him still keeping Meg behind me.

"You are loyal. Patroclus take them below deck have her sister change clothes as well. I do hope you do not have any other family swimming in the ocean we should have to save?" Achilles asks me.

"None that I am aware of My lord." I tell him trying not to disrespect him.

Achilles nods and walks away. Meg and I then follow Patroclus below deck where we both turn around allowing Meg to change.

"You threw yourself before your sister? That was brave." Patroclus tells me with a smile.

"I won't let anyone hurt Meg. They would have to get through me first." I tell him as I cross my arms.

"The men know that now, I doubt you and your sister will have trouble. Achilles has entrusted her wellbeing to me now so believe me when I say she will not be harmed." Patroclus tells me trying to comfort me.

"You are kind Patroclus. Oh early you kept calling me my lady please call me Diana I have no title nor do I need one." I tell him with a small smile.

"Just trying to show you I was not a threat." He tells me as Meg comes up to us.

"Well, now that I am dressed what do we do?" she asks us.

"You both need to get some rest, we arrive at Troy very soon." Patroclus tells us.

Meg and I share a cot to the best of our ability. I mean instead on sleeping long ways we slept short ways. Both our legs stuck out as Meg began to talk to me.

"We aren't anywhere near home are we?" Meg asks me.

"We aren't even in the same time period anymore. This is the year the Trojan war happens and now we are in the middle of it." I tell her with a sigh.

"How? I didn't think anything like that was possible?" she asks me.

"I have no idea. All I remember was something pulling me under the water and the next thing I know I am in Achilles arms." I tell her.

"Oh already in a man's arms. I am sure you loved that." She says with a giggle. "I didn't think you liked blondes I thought you were more into brunettes?"

"Really? Are you really asking me which hair color I prefer when we are in the wrong time?!" I ask her surprised.

"Just saying, you are a red head and are well known to be picky." She tells me.

"Right all this just because of my hair color. Well I am friends with you and you have brown hair so... just get some sleep Meg." I tell her as I try to close my eyes.

"Night sissy!" she tells me in a very girly way.

Achilles POV

I go below deck to check on the two new women and see Patroclus watching them. It appears that Diana won't let Meg out of her sight let alone sleep in a separate cot.

"They have been like that for a while now, Diana is very loyal to her sister." Patroclus tells me.

"Yet they look nothing like each other." I tell him as I look at them.

"Perhaps but they do act like sisters." He tells me as he looks at me.

"Yes, Diana did throw herself before her sister. Even threatening the men. That shows something..." I say.

"She is brave and loyal unlike other women around here." Patroclus says with a small laugh. "You think she would really fight off men for her sister?"

"I would not doubt it, she would be the first to hit as well." I tell him as I sit down next to him.

"What do you make of her then? Can she be trusted?" he asks me.

"Anyone willing to stand up for their sibling should have a chance I suppose. Just need to keep an eye on both of them for a while." I tell him as I watch Diana stir in her sleep.

"She looks different then others as well, her skin is so light, yet her hair is like the color of fire a rich red-" Patroclus starts.

"I think you have been watching her too well cousin, have you memorized all of her features?" I ask him.

"Hard not to, after all I am to watch them remember cousin?" he tells me.

"Once we get to shore, she'll stay with me. The other with you. If anything happens let me know or I fear Diana would kill whoever dare touch her sister." I tell him.

"What will the men think? You and I claiming two girls we found in the ocean?" he asks.

"I care not what they think, nor should you Patroclus. Trust me when I say these two are different. I can feel it." I say as I stand up and start to walk away.
