Gabrielle: Warrior Princess
Chapter 12
Gabrielle looked at the man and released the pinch.
"Who sent you?" she asked.
"I came on my own free will. I know you're taking the place of Xena. I know, and I'm going to stop you." The man said. Gabrielle punched him in the face, and made sure he was out cold before she packed up camp and left on Midnight.
Later that afternoon, Gabrielle stopped by a stream of fresh water to bathe the horse, and to fill up on some water for the next few day's journey. She ran into an old friend.
"Virgil. Hey." She said.
"Hi Gabrielle." He said smiling. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you. You look good too." Gabrielle said with a smile.
"Thanks." Virgil said softly. "Um . . .hey, I'm really sorry about Xena."
"I know." Gabrielle said with a nod. "So am I."
"You're obviously taking good care of yourself." Virgil said looking at Gabrielle's belly. She blushed a bit.
"Yeah. It's not been easy." Gabrielle said. Virgil nodded.
"Hey, I ran into Eve a few months back." He said.
"Did you?" Gabrielle asked.
"Yeah. She said she had seen you a while ago. You were really upset. Then she told me about Xena's death. She's taking it really hard too." Virgil said. "I really did feel sorry for her. I know she's hurting. I know how it feels to lose a parent."
"Yeah." Gabrielle said. "So, how's your mother?"
"She's doing okay. My brothers and sisters are helping out as much as they possibly can. They're really trying to help her get through my father's death. They're trying to help each other too." Virgil said.
"I understand what they're going through. It's terrible to lose someone you love."
