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.

Gabrielle fixed her clothes, feeling disgusted with herself. She had given in way to easily, let the event happen as if she wanted it and for a moment, she had but she was almost sure, her mind had been playing tricks on her. She moved around the room to find that there were no doors. She was stuck. The bard took a in a deep, shaky breath, feeling panic overwhelm her. Freezing as Dahak began to speak; she slowly turned around to face him, avoiding meeting his eyes all together. She didn't want to fall for any more tricks.

Xena’s name hit her ears and weighed heavy on her heart as the images of what just happened flashed in her mind. She closed her eyes tight, her hands coming up to her face as she shook her head. “No… stop it.” She said, biting her lip, now truly scared what Xena’s reaction would be. Just imagining the words, the warrior’s face broke her heart and brought tears to her eyes. The bard had given herself over to him freely and now she was going to loose the only person that ever mattered to her.

“Let me out of here.” She practically begged as she turned back to look at the walls, which held no doors. She had no idea what she would do if she got out, probably run to take a shower, wash away this experience though it would forever haunt her. That was she was almost positive of. How could I do this to Xena? she questioned herself, her forehead leaning against the wall as she hit the palm of her hand against it as if some door was just going to appear and she didn’t Dahak was going to let her go freely, not after what just happened.
