Summery: Sam's an Amazon queen
Pairing: Sam/Brooke of course, and some others thrown maybe Lily/Josh but we'll see.
Disclaimer: I don't own them no matter how hard I wish and wish and wish and wish and wish, also the title I stole from a play. I'm not sure if that was the title of the play or if the play was 'the amazons revenge' but well I took the title from the play none the less
Note: I was thinking of changing the names to more Greekish names and such but decided it would confuse me too much if not you so I kept with normal names. Also since this is an uber messed up fic I decided to make Harrison Sam's twin, don't ask why, it was just a whim of mine.
Chapter One
Josh smiled his broad smile as he rode his chariot with his wife beside him "Isn't this wonderful Brooke?"
Brooke sighed and ignored her dimwitted husband as she studied her nail. Josh coughed loudly. "Right, yes of course Josh"
Josh beamed and continued to survey his surroundings, I suppose I should explain some things you see Josh is a Greek emperor and right now he is travelling through some jungle of an island off the coast of Greek. Of course he knew this was the land of the Amazons but Josh was a rather ignorant fellow he decided since he was such a mighty man back home surely the Amazons would not bother him. Which is why he such little defence and why right at this moment the Amazons by command of their queen (Sam) were plotting an ambush.
"Josh, what was that noise?" Brooke asked
"Oh nothing darling, don't worry about it"
Of course Josh was rather wrong as at that moment the Amazons attacked the small group and quickly had over powered the guards and were marching the Greek emperor and his company to the camp where their queen was waiting.
Sam looked up as her new prisoners entered the camp she smiled "So what fool has dared to set foot into my domain this time?"
"It is the emperor Josh your magnificence"
Sam sat down and sighed "Only him?"
"What do you mean only me I'm - " Josh started to speak but quickly shut up and a spear was waved at his face.
Sam got up and examined the group "Men" She scoffed a smile crept across her face as she spotted Brooke "Now what's this, a woman, how odd for the men to let her out with them" she smiled and moved towards Brooke who coward away "Don't worry dear. We don't harm our own kind, your free now, no longer in a male dominated world" Brooke watched her still with fear, but also curiosity.
"What is your name?" Sam asked
"Brooke"
"Such a lovely name" Sam commented as she reached out and stroked her cheek.
She then looked around at her woman "Take them to the prisoners quarters, keep good care of this one, she is after all, one of us" Sam smiled then watched as the group of foreigners were led off. She then turned to come face to face with Lily
"Sam, what are your plans for Josh, do you wish to wed him?" She asked
"No Lily" Sam smiled "But I take it you have an interest in the pathetic man" Lily nodded "Very well Lily, he may be yours, unless Carmen wished to fight you for him"
"And Brooke, do you think Harrison would like her?"
"Brooke is not for Harrison, for one Harrison is one of us and shouldn't be wasted on a foreign woman like her, beside I have my own interest in her"
Lily smiled at her queen then rushed off to inspect her new husband, and she had no intention of fighting over or sharing this one with Carmen, it wasn't fair, Carmen broke her last one so of course she shouldn't deserve Josh.
Chapter Two
Brooke looked around at her surroundings, it was a comfortable room, and if it weren't for the fact that she was locked in she could quite enjoy staying there. She huffed angrily as she sat on her bed "This is all Josh's fault" She muttered to the walls. Suddenly the door swung open and Lily walked into the room
"Oh, sorry wrong room" She said and turned to leave
"Wait, wh-what do you people want from me?"
Lily sighed and turned around "I personally want your husband"
"You can have the idiot" Brooke muttered, Lily beamed
"Thanks!"
"But what will happen to me?"
"I don't know, but judging by Sam's interest in you I'd bet no harm will come to you" Lily then left again in search of her dimwitted husband to be. Brooke lay back on her bed and stared at the ceiling. "Well on the bright side at least I don't have to put up with Josh any more" She sighed then she started to cry, she couldn't help it, she was been held captive and missed home already.
"Wait why do you get him! I want him!" Carmen yelled
"You only want him cause I do, besides Carmen you got the last one" Lily shouted back
"Yea and the last one you had you let him go"
"Men deserve rights too Carmen, they're people too"
"He came back and nearly killed us all!"
"So I made a mistake, I won't let this one go"
"No you won't, cause I'm taking him"
At this moment Sam made the unfortunate mistake to walk in on the current argument
"Sam, tell Carmen that Josh is mine"
"Oh no you don't, I'm not getting caught up in another fight over who gets the man"
"SAM! You have to, you're our queen"
"Oh geez, don't bring that up again, ok Lily, you can have him"
"Yes!" Lily then poked her tongue out at Carmen
"But, you're not to let him go, and as long as he's alive your not allowed another one" Sam continued
Lily sulked a little then agreed
"Now, where's Brooke?"
"She's in a cell"
Sam then turned and went in search of Brooke.
When Sam found where Brooke was been held captive she could hear someone crying on the other side of the door, she frowned then pushed open the door to find Brooke lying on the bed sobbing. Sam walked over to her and tentatively patted the other woman on the back. Brooke who wasn't aware the amazon had entered the room was taken by surprise and quickly moved away from Sam.
"Sorry" Sam said
"It's ok, I just didn't hear you come in that's all" Brooke said despite all her fear.
"Why are you crying?" Sam asked softly
"I miss home"
"How can you miss your home, it's a world where women are oppressed and breeds ignorance"
"It's still my home, I miss my family"
Sam watched as fresh tears spilled down Brookes cheeks, she reached over the gently brushed them away with her fingertips "I would let you go, but I can't, I'm sorry Brooke, maybe you'd just better make the most of this" Sam then left. Brooke sat in the room alone, suddenly she didn't feel so sad, she could still feel where Sam had brushed away her tears. "Maybe if I can't go home I should make the most of this" Brooke pondered.
Chapter Three
Lily smiled at Josh
"Are you going to eat me?" He asked, rather nervously
"What? No!" Lily replied "Where'd you get that idea from?"
"I've heard things"
"Well that might be these other Amazons, I've heard some crazy stories about an Amazon called Merry Cherry"
"So what's the deal with you?"
"Me personally?"
"Yea, and your, what are you guys, a tribe?"
"Tribe, I dunno, I think we're more like a Family"
"Oh"
"We're really quite nice, except when people try to kill us, and well when outsiders enter our territory"
"Sorry"
"But I think the way we treat men is wrong, they're humans too, so that's why I saved you from a life as Carmen's sex slave or as a worker"
"Um, thanks I guess"
"So instead your going to be my husband, who I will treat as an equal to prove that it can be done and we can all live together"
"Great" Josh had perked up greatly, the small Amazon had a lot of fire in her, and somewhere in Josh's small brain his feelings for her registered as something more than lust.
Sam sat on her throne and smiled and nodded as Carmen ranted about the unfairness of how Lily was treating Josh as a human when they all knew men were worthless, especially Greek men with all their pig-headedness. Not that Sam was paying much attention, she was lost in her thoughts of Brooke, she was pondering what to do with the other woman, she doubted it would be easy to get her to succumb to Sam's wishes. Sam grinned as her mind wandered to these wishes. Fantasies that involved a number of foodstuffs been licked off a certain blonds body and hot bubble baths. Sam was suddenly snapped from her thoughts as Harrison rushed into the room
"Sam" He panted, breathless from running "Brooke " *pant* "asked," *pant* "to"
"Spit it out Harrison" Sam snapped growing impatient
"She wants to see you"
"Really?" Sam asked rather surprised "Was she angry"
"No"
Sam stood up and left the room with a puzzled expression on her face.
Brooke sat on her bed and waited. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea" She mused to herself
"What isn't a good idea?" Sam asked as she walked into Brooke's cell
"Um, well I was thinking"
"Did you hurt your head with all that thinking?"
Brooke glared at her "Actually I was thinking about what you said"
"What did I say?" Sam asked as she sat down next to Brooke
"About making the most of the situation"
"Oh"
"I thought maybe you meant something, like there was something to do"
Sam grinned, "Well, if I can trust you, you won't have to stay in this room all day"
"That'd be nice, so could I, leave the room that is? You can trust me Sam"
Sam smiled and stood up, she extended a hand to Brooke who accepted it, Sam pulled Brooke to her feet and led the other girl outside to show her around.
Chapter Four
"You do understand that if you break my trust there will be some rather nasty consequences, some worse than death."
"Oh, does it have anything to do with Nicole?."
"Who? No, just lots of torture, maiming, disfiguration, Carmen's really quite good at making people hurt."
"Oh." Brooke responded, paling slightly.
"And the only way for you to be accepted into our society is to become an amazon, or marry one."
"So how do I become an amazon?." Brooke asked.
"Just a few tests really, Lily will take you through them with you, I have to go now, she'll be along shortly." Sam smiled warmly and then left.
Brooke looked at the bow and arrow in her hand, she had no idea where to begin let alone to actually hit the target. Lily sighed impatiently as Brooke placed the arrow and pulled back the bow like she had seen her father do, then let go. The arrow flew through the air and hit the target's outer edge. Brooke squealed with delight.
"I suppose that's all right, you can learn." Lily said as she wondered why Brooke was so delighted over such a poor shot. "I'm not sure what else Sam wants me to do with you, the only thing we need is trust and there's no way to prove you'll be trustworthy." Brooke started at Lily not sure what she was on about "But since Sam seems so adamant to have be one of us I guess." lily paused, "Welcome to the Family Brooke."
Brooke smiled and pulled Lily into a hug "Thank you."
Lily laughed slightly "You're welcome, it's not very often the Queen wants to let someone join as you have, but your very lucky she has taken a special liking to you."
"Why is that? Why does Sam like me so much?" Brooke asked.
Lily just smiled and walked away. "Maybe you should ask her yourself." she called out just before she turned the corner and out of view.
Sam looked up as Brooke walked into the throne room "So how'd it go?" She asked.
"Good, seems I'm an amazon now." Brooke grinned
"Good, now don't you go running away or anything or I'll have to hurt you and I'd hate to do that."
Brooke pondered over Lily's words "Sam?"
"Yea."
"Why'd you give me this opportunity?"
"Because I see potential in you." Sam replied.
"Are you sure?" Brooke asked "Cause I was sort of hoping it was something else."
Sam looked at her grinned as the blonde moved closer to her queen "And what would that be?"
"Maybe that you were interested in me." Brooke smiled suggestively at Sam.
"What kind of interest?" Sam asked as Brooke stopped in front of her.
Brooke smiled "This kind." She said as she did the most outrageous act in her life, she leaned over and kissed Sam.
When she pulled away she smiled shyly at Sam.
"Yea, that too." Sam said as she leaned in and kissed the Blonde.
TBC... soon I hope
