Memories–A Xena Warrior Princess Fanfic
1 I do not own Xena, wish I did, but I don't.
2 Oneshot-told in Gabrielle's point of view
3 Please no flames, I'm still kinda new at this.
Holding her ashes in my hand, I looked out to the sea. Should I defy her wishes and return to Greece. Xena often told me she wanted to be buried next to her brother, should I take her there?
One thing has crossed my mind in the three months since Xena left me, why am I still alive? So many people in my life are gone, my parents, my baby Hope, my grandson The Destroyer, Xena's son Solan, Ephiny, Joxer, Xena, why was I left? I thought of my sister Lilla, she had someone, my niece Sarah. Even Ares on Mount Olympus had someone.
I wondered about Eve, did she sense her mother being dead? Where could I find her? How do you tell someone their mother is dead? That is one sentence you hope to never say to someone. Especially when you are only 23 and she was no older than 27.
Where am I to go? I used to follow Xena, wherever she decided to go. For the first time I was on my own. For awhile I felt her\spirit near me. It has since left me. I sat against the mast of the ship and wondered where I would go.
I looked up into the night sky and said, "Xena, what do I do now? When you were with me it was so much easier. Now I feel lost, I miss you so much. Do you want to be buried in Greece, next to your brother? Should I continue on my journey or return home and stay with my sister and niece? Xena, what should I do? Oh, I am so confused. I feel so alone without you? Why did you leave again? Does eve know you are gone? Are you with Solan, Ephiny, and Joxer? Are you happy? I surely hope so."
I closed my eyes and leaned against the mast again. I fianlly knew what I was to do with my life. I was Gabrielle, an Amazon Queen, little sister to Lilla, and aunt to Sarah. Lover to the now deceased Xena, warrior princess. I was going to continue the travels that Xena and I had planned. I am still alive, and I was going to live for a long time. I had time to see my family again, but for now, I'm living my life with my lover, Xena.
Her spirit is here again.
