Chapter 1
"Where are we headed Xena?" Gabrielle asked. They had been walking for two days and she had not yet found out where they were going.
"I don’t know. I just feel like we have to go this way," Xena replied. Gabrielle knew that Xena had a sense of where to be so she didn’t question it any further.
"Get on Gabrielle," Xena said after awhile. Xena held her hand down towards Gabrielle so that she could get up on Xena’s horse Argo. Gabrielle was lost in thought and hadn’t noticed that she was swaying and falling behind. She took Xena’s hand and got on the huge beast. Normally she would have argued but she was tired. " What were you thinking about Gabrielle?" Xena asked.
" Nothing really just a story about you. I was trying to remember the details of the last battle we had. You know where you saved those villagers from that harpy," Gabrielle explained.
"Gabrielle don’t forget that you helped," Xena said. She remembered that Harpy. It had reminded her of Marcus and how they had battled some in the underworld.
"Let’s make camp," Xena said. They stopped and Xena helped Gabrielle off Argo and then got off herself. Gabrielle got some sticks and did her usual routine while Xena brushed Argo and talked to her. Gabrielle watched for awhile and saw how much Argo liked Xena. That horse wouldn’t let anyone but Xena ride her. Gabrielle could only if Xena spoke to her first. Xena then told Argo to go graze and the horse nudged Xena and then turned and went to a near by patch of grass.
" I have some bread and some spices," Gabrielle told Xena.
"I’ll go catch us some meat," Xena replied and then without any other word Xena was gone. Gabrielle almost laughed out loud as she thought about Xena. Here she was, the mighty warrior, but if not for Gabrielle she wouldn’t have one decent meal. Xena could hunt and fish and fight, but even if her life depended on it, she couldn’t cook. Gabrielle set on the task of lighting the fire. Xena was back in about ten minutes with a rabbit. They ate and then they went to sleep. When Gabrielle woke up Xena was gone. She got up and walked around. Suddenly she was attacked. There were six men and she was scared. But she knew she shouldn’t be. Right as the leader was about to slice her throat they all heard a loud war cry and then they heard a zipping noise. Before they knew it, three of them were on the ground and Xena caught her chakram. Gabrielle whipped her staff around into the ones mans stomach as Xena battled the other two. Xena easily took care of them and then applied pressure to the one mans neck. " I’ve just cut off the flow of blood to your brain. You’ll be dead in 30 seconds if you don’t tell me what I want to know," Xena said menacingly. The man nodded his head. " Who sent you," She asked.
"No one. We saw the girl and we thought she would make an easy killing. Honest," The man said. Xena could tell he wasn’t lying. He was petrified.
She released him and warned him about killing and said she wouldn’t be so nice next time. He ran away as quickly as he could. Xena then turned to say something to Gabrielle when she suddenly disappeared. "Xena!! Where are you!" Gabrielle cried. She went down on her knees sobbing. She told herself that Xena would be back and after awhile, she fell asleep.
