Looking from Paris to his sister he realized what had made him stop talking, her body was not moving, nor her eyes, not even her chest. She grew worried and watched Paris listen for her breathing which wasn't there. "Paris..." Helen had no clue what to do in this situation.

Feeling the last blood related family member dead in his arms, sent Paris into an uncontrolable weeping. It felt as if everything was in slow motion....like a bad dream.....but it wasn't....it was very true.
Lifting his head and looking across the hot desert sands that surrounded them, Paris looked around desperately for someone to help him....but there was none.
His eyes looked to Helen with a piercing sorrow and then they turned to his deceased sister who laid limp in his lap. Wrapping his arms around her, he lifted her to his chest and caressed her hair as his tears fell onto her face.

"Paris you cannot waste your tears here..." She said softly, knowing that it would not be good for Paris to cry here, they needed to get out of the desert before either one of them died.

Paris knew that Helen was right....he could not allow himself or her to sit here in the blinding sun, or both of them would perish like his sister.
Gently placing his sister down onto the soft sand, he kissed her forehead and held her hand, "I am so sorry, my sister. I am so sorry. This is my fault...my the gods punish me for all this..." Paris said with anguish and pain in his heart.
Standing to his weary feet, Paris looked upon the dead body, "Good bye my dear sister. I will always cherish you in my heart."
Reaching for Helen's hand, he helped her up and walked away from the terrible scene of death and never looked back. He needed to save the only thing he had left......Helen.... "Come, my love. We will find shelter soon. Don't worry. We will. I promise."

Helen watched Paris and his sister from a few steps behind them, giving them their needed peace, giving them their last moments together. She felt her heart break seeing Paris lose all of his family and she realized she was the only thing he had left. That incentive was enough to keep her strong, to keep the will to live alive within her.
Helping Paris to his feet she curled around him and helped to walk smiling softly when he said they would find shelter. "I know my love"

Hours had passed and night was fallen. The once hot sand was now freezing cold and the desert wind was biting at their bare arms and legs.
Trying to support Helen with the rest of his strength, in the distance he could hear the neighing of horses in their stables. It seemed to be a small village.
"Helen! Helen! We have found shelter! We made it! We did it just like I promised," he smiled through chapped lips.
He then fell onto his knees and laid himself in the sand and fell fast asleep.

Helen did not know how long they walked, to her it seemed like days, weeks even. She felt like she was walking in a sandy oblivion, nothing could be seen for miles in front of her. All she had was Paris's strength to keep her moving.
Finally the most beautiful sound fell upon her ears, the sound of horses in the near distance. They had found shelter.
"Oh my dear Paris, thank you" She rasped between dried lips before she fell next to her love and fell asleep as well

Paris awoke to a tickling sensation on his leg. Cracking his eyes open in the bright morning sunlight, he lifted his neck to see what it was. There crawling around like it had found a new home, was a dark black scorpion.
Flicking it off with the back of his hand, Paris sat up straight startled and awake. Looking toward the near village, it seemed to be alive with hussling people.
Shaking Helen's shoulder, he said, "Helen, wake up. Let us go and find water near a well."

Helen could feel something shaking her but she was so drained she couldn't move. Her skin was much paler than normal and her lips were like sandpaper. But hearing Paris's voice her eyes cracked open and she looked up, the faint look of a smile playing on her lips.

Seeing Helen so weak and fragile gave Paris the only last strength left in his body......he scooped her up in his arms and staggered in the direction of the tiny village.
He drew near a well, his gut longed for the savouring chill of water. With no one in sight, Paris stumbled and dropped Helen next to the well, "I'm sorry....sorry..." He then stood up with shaking knees and desperately began to pull the bucket up.
Finally, the bucket appeared dripping with life giving water. Paris stuck his head inside and began to guzzle it down like an animal.
Bending over, he lifted Helen and pushed the bucket in her direction, "Drink, my love! Drink! We're going to live!"

Helen simply fell into his arms, cradled agaisnt his chest as she felt herself lulling to sleep, but she knew if she closed her eyes they would not open again, so she stayed strong and didn't even notice as she fell next to the well.
Everything was a blur until chapped lips felt water against them and she became alive and began to drink the water fast until her whole body was chilled with the cool water.

After Helen had stopped drinking, Paris helped himself to more. Feeling the moisture in his mouth and running down his throat gave him energy and strength.
"Let us see if we can find food or let us see if someone will help us," Paris said softly as he supported Helen by the waist and began to walk with her into the midst of the village.
A slight breeze blew against their faces as villagers began to appear from every corner or building.

Once Helen felt refreshed, she stood up and with the help of Paris began walking around the town in search of a place where they could get food and rest. She then began to wnoder where they were.
