Status: Incomplete

Gabrielle had not been herself as of late, she was distant and most of the time refused to leave the room, taking comfort in writing her scrolls. Her mind was plagued with thoughts of Hope, the memories of her daughter not to mention her own faults as a mother. She hated that she had let Hope down. the thoughts and memories only seemed to bring her more pain and depression. She hadn't found the right time to talk to Xena about it, the warrior usually not around much either, though she usually knew where she was. Leading some training session. The bard tried not to let it bother her because she knew deep down Xena couldn’t pass up an opportunity to train. After all, she was a warrior.

Waking up, she found herself alone, wondering where Xena was off to today. The bard decided she wasn’t going to spend the day inside, though it was cloudy outside, she wasn’t going to let it bother her. The amazon queen needed out, needed fresh air and something to distract her. She got up and quickly showered then got dressed before leaving the room, venturing out to the tables, hoping by chance that she would find Xena along the way but the warrior princess was nowhere in sight.

She felt that things had changed since the day her feelings came out but hoped that wasn’t the case. The last thing she wanted was for Xena and her to drift apart because of shared feelings. Entering the stables, she walked over to where Argo was being held. She reached for a brush and moved into the stall. “Hello girl.” She whispered, brushing the horses main and her coat, sensing that Argo was enjoying the attention.

Dahak didn't need to sleep, or eat. The power supplied to him by the Kryptonian was beautiful, even more so because he could feel how much utter agony Clark was in. The screams muted by the earth below were like a symphony to the Lord of Darkness' ears. Sweet, beautiful, terrible pain. And there was so much more to come. He could already feel his minions prowling to begin their tasks today. Yes, little did any of them suspect that all they were doing with this was feeding him, ensuring that there was so much chaos in this one little planet that he would not need to feed for some time yet to come. And if he managed to keep Clark alive... it would last all the much longer. He idly wondered on whether or not unholy means were a way of keeping the Kryptonian alive without violating the boundaries of this world... after all, who was to say alive really meant not zombified?

But there was more on his mind than just his little battery that he kept stored under ground, and far more than the chaos that was slowly starting to build like a thunderstorm on the horizon. She was here. And in the midst of all of the chaos abound today, her usual protector wouldn't be there to save her... not that Dahak feared the warrior princess, so much that there would be at the very least an implied feeling of guilt there... she wasn't present to save her partner, the one she cared so very much for. And that and her own anger in herself would be so very satisfying... he couldn't wait to drink it in. He'd already planned out that sublime moment when he would see the warrior Princess' face again.. but he was getting ahead of himself...

What he wanted, more than this whole kidnapping affair, more than even his little kryptonian battery. The little sidekick was something of an old flame to him, even though she would never see it that way. After all, it was she who had birthed his evil into the world, even before he himself could be present. She who had so willingly lied to her best friend about it. She who had gotten the son of her best friend killed... because of her lie. And yet her soul, tainted by darkness, still strove for light, still tried to do what was good. There was still so much inside of her that was left to corrupt, years of helping people, living... righteously. The word itself almost made him sick to think, but he was too excited now... she was heading away from the others... he could feel it.

Dahak didn't slide out of his room as normal, but teleported from it, to the edge of the barn. Watching the red haired warrior as she stood alone in the barn, with the horses. They knew what he was, but the fear that he produced in animals was so great that they wouldn't scream out, merely shiver, and back away from Gabrielle's touch, trying to get as far away from the Father of Lies as they could, in the hopes that he would simply ignore them and leave them be. Luckily for the mindless beasts, he was not here for them, but rather the innocent creature that stood amongst them. Not being an animal, she wouldn't get that same feeling of dread until he touched her skin... and he wasn't ready for that... not yet... he needed to drink in this sensation a bit longer.

"Oh..." he said softly. When Gabrielle turned she would not see the mask that all the kidnappers had seen, but rather the form that Dahak possessed, looking dark and attractive. He offered her a shy smile, but it was obvious that he was looking at her in the way that men looked at women when they were interested. His eyes ran down her curves lightly before looking into hers once again. "I didn't realize anyone was in here this early..." he said smoothely, biting his lip softly as he took a step further into the barn, looking at her. "Do you come here often?"
