Note-takes place after episode "Is There A Doctor In The House?"
In a clearing deep within the forest, the glow from a campfire illuminated the figure of a warrior trapped within her own thoughts as she watched her friend sleep.
Rising from her spot by the fire, Xena walked softly over to the sleeping bard, kneeling beside Gabrielle she placed a hand to the young woman’s forehead, finding that she was cool to the touch she pulled the furs up closer around the sleeping form. She stood and gazed at the sleeping bard for a moment before returning to her place by the fire. Settling against the saddle, she picked up her sword and continued sharpening it, becoming lost in her thoughts, with each stroke of the stone she sank deeper into them.
‘She died today, but somehow I brought her back. By the gods, how did I do that? If she had died…I don’t know what I would have done; Gone crazy and killed the nearest person or broken down sobbing in agony. How did I live before I met her…she has touched my soul somehow but is it safe for her to be around me? I cannot make her leave though…today proved that. If she could escape Celesta then how could I turn her away from being with me? Just admit it, she has worked her way into my heart…I’m done for.’ Xena finished her thoughts with one last stroke of the stone.
Rising from the ground, she put away her sword and placed some more wood on the fire. Gathering up her sleeping furs, she walked over to the sleeping bard and placed them next to her. Lying down she faced the fur-covered form beside her, reaching over she brushed a lock of hair from Gabrielle’s face. ‘Just making sure she’s not running fever…yeah right you big softie,’ she thought to herself.
Just then, Gabrielle let out a soft moan. “Shhh…it’s ok…you’re safe,” Xena said stroking the bard’s face. Gabrielle leaned into her hand, a smile appearing on her face as she settled down and let sleep take her again.
‘Oh yeah…I’m done for.’ Xena thought as she pulled her furs up around her, placing part of them over Gabrielle and moving just a bit closer to the bard…just in case she woke up again.
