Terrible little deeds

I don't own angst, but I sure write a ton of it sometimes.

It had been over an hour since her discovery of the pit as Gabrielle crept very close now to the camp now. She looked on the Roman soldiers in disgust. These were less than men. To Gabrielle, they were dirty beasts, disgusting animals that didn't care the slightest bit about anyone other than themselves.

While she was in her state of revulsion she didn't notice a single soldier behind her. While the man thought of stabbing her and being done with her once and for all instead he decided to smash her in the back of the head with the hilt of the sword.

Gabrielle felt her world stop as she fell to the ground. She looked up at the Roman as her vision blurred. She saw a fist coming at her face as all faded to black.

"You all will die by my hand!" shouted the blonde warrior with her staff in hand. The weapon had a spiked ball on each end that was designed for tearing the flesh. She smiled with a cruel and evil smile. A soldier shouted as she twisted with the weapon and severed his head from his body. Feeling the presence and hearing the noise of a soldier behind her, she twisted backwards and disemboweled the soldier. She laughed as the soldier took some time to die.

A blonde woman wearing black leather materialized beside her stepping beside the mad blonde woman wielding the deadly staff. She said, "Gabrielle, you see this is soo you! You should do it more often." Gabrielle replied looking at the blonde goddess, "Yes it is Aphrodite."

Gabrielle awoke from her dream to see the face of a man hovering above her. Gabrielle was sure where she was as she asked, "Who are you?"

The man answered, "Marcus Junius Brutus, friend of Julius Caesar and his rightful heir." Gabrielle jarred herself awake as she tried to get up.

Brutus put his hand on her chest shoving her back down on the wooden table saying, "Ah, you're not going anywhere. Not by a long shot, Gabrielle. Yes I know who you are. Caesar kept me up to date about Xena knowing one day he'd run into her again. But sadly, that day never came for him. Now…tell me… where is Xena?"

Gabrielle replied, "I don't know. Probably off having a good time without me to talk her ear off." Brutus slapped her hard across the face.

He said calmly, "Don't lie to me bitch." Gabrielle not one to take a beating tried to get up but a shot to her nose sent her back to the hard table. Gabrielle's nose began to bleed as she held her hand over it. Brutus then said smiling, "Awe, did I break your nose. Here let me see."

He moved her hands and reset the bone causing Gabrielle further pain. Brutus then ask as he laughed, "There does that feel better?"

Gabrielle retorted in an uncharacteristic manner, "Fuck you!"

He slapped her across the face again saying, "Now, now, none of that. People are only allowed to conduct themselves as professionals in my tent."

Gabrielle replied to the comment filled with rage, "You all are so professional that you rape and murder little girls! You're all bastards!"

Brutus replied nonchalantly, "Ahh, you found the pit. Yea, sorry about those terrible little deeds. Gotta keep the soldier morale up, especially since no one wanted to buy them. Apparently they were too wild for the slave traders in these parts. Just so you know I never partook."

Gabrielle with blood rolling down her cheeks replied, "You allowed it. That makes you a monster."

Brutus waved dismissively, "You clearly have no idea about running an army. Without that morale boost I'd have lost even this meager army."

Gabrielle spat blood into his face. Brutus then said, "You keep that shit up and I'll throw you to them. You should have seen the looks the made when they saw your body. I bet the man who carried you in took a quick feel on you. So where is Xena?"

Gabrielle answered, "I don't know."

Brutus replied with a lustful voice, "Sure you do. You know you're a pretty little thing. I could partake this one time." Gabrielle hid a shudder as she saw the lustful look that came over the man.

He then said, "I haven't had a woman since I left Rome. Not since that bastard Pompey killed my friend. You could be the first in a long time if you don't talk."

Gabrielle shook her head, "I do not know."

Brutus smiled darkly, "That sounds like consent to me." He grabbed her and started kissing her neck. Gabrielle swung with her right fist at the man but he held her arm down.

Brutus said, "You had better stop or this is going to hurt more."

He put his free hand on her left breast as she punched him in the eye. He returned the favor with a slap across the face. Gabrielle however was determined she would fight this off with everything she had. He bent down and started kissing her face and her lips. Seeing what he was doing Gabrielle waited for the second kiss and then bit his lower lip pulling it with all the force she could.

He shouted in pain as she ripped his lip off of his face. Gabrielle could hear noises outside, which she could only hope was Xena as Brutus slapped her again in the face. Then he pulled out his dagger as he said mumbling, "Youu lilll biiiih" He tried to stab her in the neck but the effect of all the struggling sent them both off of the table still rolling and fighting.

The dagger fell from his hands as Gabrielle landed on top of the bleeding Brutus. Gabrielle quickly grabbed the dagger and stabbed him in the chest, pulling out filled with anger began to stab him repeatedly, the whole time shouting repeatedly, "You bastard!"
