Disclaimer- I own nothing! Though I would never much like a Methos. Does anybody know where I can find one?

Anyway, this is a little something that has been running through my mind for a while. It's a short read so go ahead and give it a try.


I was never very good at dates, but I know I was born in the beginning of what is now called the Bronze Age. A foundling like all Immortals, I was adopted into the village, but not without some trepidation. Still, I was accepted if treated distantly.

That all changed.

I was around 25 when the drought hit. Being the only unattached woman I was chosen as the sacrifice for the gods. This was the way things were done and I was okay with it despite my fear. But after that first death...

I was declared a demon and kept in chains. They took turns beating me, raping me, killing me. Days and nights blended together and I lost track of time, growing in my hate.

When the village was attacked I enjoyed their screams. It was then that I felt the 'buzz' for the first time, but instead of worrying me, it soothed me.

Death set me free.

I don't know why they accepted me; why they treated me as an equal rather than a slave. I know why Methos did it but not the others and I'll probably never know. Nevertheless, I rode with them. I took all my hate, rage, and pain out on the world. I bathed in a sea of red and delighted in it.

I never let another touch me. None, but Methos.

From the beginning I had always stayed close to him. His presence calmed me when nothing else could and nothing and no one warranted his tenderness quite like me.

I think things began to change for us once we finally became lovers. We found a peace within each other that I had never thought possible and we started to let go.

All the killing began to feel pointless. It no longer held any meaning. Still, we kept at it to keep up appearances. Didn't want Kronos to suspect anything. But our new found consciences hounded us and when Methos decided to truly leave behind the Horsemen...

I had no qualms about following.


Okay, what do you think?

I would really like to see this expanded but I don't think I'm that good a writer and I doubt I'll have the time. So I'm leaving it up in the air.

You can use this as a basic plot line and see where it goes. Your imagination is your limit. Keep in mind that this is an AU so you can jumble things around. The only thing I ask is that the rating be either T (PG-13) or M (R). I don't really think you can explore all the emotions with anything less than that.

I'm looking forward to seeing how many take this up. Ooh, I can't wait. :)
