Mistake

Disclaimer: They are not mine, I am in no mood to say more.

Xena sat alone in a temple dedicated to her god. And what was she doing there? Well, she asked herself that also, but instead of her mouth opening to answer, only tears came. She was overreacting, being emotional, but hey, that's allowed every now and then, isn't it?

Ares was gone, she hadn't seen him, or felt him or spoken to him in a month. Gabrielle had gone away, to visit her family, and it was storming out side.

She guessed it was her own fault, for everything that happened between her and Ares. She had made not one, but two stupid mistakes.

A month and a half ago, she went to Ares, spent a night with him, and stayed with him for a couple of nights and days. Then she broke it off, and ended it. She was too afraid to get hurt, and even though she loved Ares, this wasn't what was right. She had to end it. So she did, and told Ares, who kept a calm face through it all, and then when Xena asked if they could still be friends, he grinned, said yes, and left.

Xena went back to the camp slowly that day, thinking, hoping that everything WOULD be allright. It hurt her badly to break this off again. How many times has she done this to him already? But it would hurt more later on, so it was better to just do this now.

After that, she had not seen Ares. She had called to him, went to his temples, asked around...but noone knew anything about the God of War.

Ares' POV:

I could not she did this to me. Again. Here I was, hoping for the best, hoping that finally, my Princess had figured out that she loved me, and everything would be perfect. We spent a couple of great days together, but I had an inclicking that something was just a bit off. And I was right. When I came to her one day, she didn't smile, she just said "Ares..." and explained to me what she was feeling.

I kept a smile on. Sure we could be friends, no problem. Then I left, I couldn't face her again, not then , when tears threateaned to overwhelm me. How many times have I cried because of her. The God of War, crying, I'm such a joke.

I haven't seen her in a month, and I don't want to. Not yet, I want her to see how it feels like, but I really do want to talk to her, and tell her how I feel, how much she hurt me, but, I don't think I'll do that yet.

Yes, that was a pointless story with no plot.
