Here I lay in Xena's arms, and my head is spinning. How many times has she told me to pay attention to my surroundings ? Many times. I panicked and because I did we are surrounded by shattered rock, stone, and wood. I can't get the image of the blood everywhere, outta my head. Since my late teen years, I vowed to never kill or even seriously harm. I don't know who is to blame, myself or the evil that found me. This is a nightmare. What am I going to do ? There is a ache in my heart, that I'm not sure I can deal with.
Xena's point of view :
I feel like I have failed Gabrielle. I should have known something wasn't right. Gabrielle was innocent, till now. I know she is in terrible pain. If I hadn't been going after Caesar, this most likely won't have happened. The deliver of Dahak said it. My hatard lead Gabrielle to loss of innocence. There was a time in my life, I didn't care about being selfish but now things have changed. I love this wonderful girl more than my life. I'm not perfect, but Gabrielle should not suffer due to my warrior life and the need to fight. I feel her move in my arms, making me aware she is awake. My heart is pounding in despair. What will she say to me ?
" It hurts"
" What ?"....
" Everything has changed. Everything."
I tighten my hold on Gabrielle, holding her close and lean down to whisper to her.
" Everything will be alright, Gabrielle....promise."
She starts to softly cry, and my heart breaks not knowing how make her see It will be alright.
Why did this happen ? All I know, is I must find a way to give her hope again.
