Author's Note: Here's a collection of songfics and poems and other fiction that I've created for Gabrielle, these are her thoughts and unless specifically mentioned. These fics will be Xena/Gabrielle pairings enjoy!
This first is a songfic of Torn by the band Creed about Gabrielle's feelings of battles and conflict.
Torn
Gabrielle watched Xena intently as she beat a warlord senseless, why was she showing no mercy? "Xena, I think he's had enough." Gabrielle pointed out that the man she had beat had long since been dead, "What's with you today?" the bard was shocked when Xena looked at her with an evil gaze, "Listen Gabrielle, don't tell me what I have to do, it's my life." Gabrielle took offense to her friend's reaction and her yelling and harsh looks only made matters worse, "If you only knew my feelings towards violence, then you'd understand," Gabrielle said, letting two small tears fall from her cheeks, this gave her an idea. She smiled and told Xena that she would see her later, she had some work to do.
She rode her horse five miles away from the town that Xena was in and sat under a tree with paper and a pencil, "Okay Gab, you can do this, let Xena know how you feel." she said to herself, all of a sudden, from somewhere inside, Gabrielle scribbled down what she felt her heart was feeling,
Peace is what they tell me
Love, am I unholy?
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed reasons for my intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who, the only one who
Would carry on this far
Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own misery
Stole all that you gave me
Control, you claim you saved me
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed reasons for my intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who, the only one who
Would carry on this far
Peace in my head
Love in my head
Lies in my head
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed reasons for my intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who, the only one who
Would carry on this far
Gabrielle looked at Xena softly as she read the bard's message, "What does this mean Gabrielle, that you're against violence? You fight by my side all the time." she said but Gabrielle frowned, "No, you see, I only fight alongside you to protect you, but I don't beat someone after they're dead, that's what I mean." she said after a short time Xena smiled, "Well, either way, we protect each other."
Author's Note: Here's the first one-shot of this series, the next will be the addition of an already published fanfic of mine "What's This Life For?", please read and review (There will be some of the content that has already been published on the site in this fic, but I want to include them in the seris, FEARLESS MASTER.
