In Motion
Gabrielle, Xena and Eve were walking along a road leading to Amphilos. Since the curse had been lifted off the tavern, life had returned to the entire village.
"The town sure has gotten busy" Eve observed "Since last time, I mean"
Gabrielle, kill Eve..for Xena's sake." A voice whispered into Gabrielles ear. Garbrielle shook her head quickly.
" You alright Gabrielle?" Xena asked, looking at her friend.
"I'm fine"
"You sure? You're looking a little pale.." Eve added.
"Xena, Eve, I appreciate your concern, but I really am ok." Gabrielle said
She'll make Xena's dark side return.
OK if your sure Gabrielle. Im going to go stable the horses, I'll meet you both back at my mothers tavern, and we can eat dinner then." Xena said.
" OK see you in a bit, Xena" Gabrielle said, heading towards the tavern.
Kill her. Protect Xena.
The two women entered the old tavern quietly.
Kill her. Do it NOW!
"Eve?"
"Yes Gabrielle?"
"Why dont you put your belongings in your room, and I'll start maing dinner, so it'll be ready for when your mother comes back." Gabrielle suggested.
"Ok" Eve nodded and headed upstairs to find a room.
Kill her, Gabrielle. She'll make Xena the monster she used to be. The Destroyer OF Nations!
" No..she won't" Gabrielle whispered.
Yes She will. Deep down you know that. Xena wont be able to kill her own daughter. Do it for her, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle, shook her head, desperatly trying to rid herself, of the Furies' voices.
Protect her, Protect Xena. Kill Eve, now, Gabrielle.
Almost unwillingly, Gabrielle, picked up her Sais and headed upstairs to where Eve was unpacking. She crept up behind the Messanger and plunged the sais down into Eve's body.
"Gabrielle??" Xena called from downstairs.
Gabrielle gasped as she heard Xena's voice.
"Gabrielle..." Xena stood and looked at the scene before her in shock. Gabrielle soaked in blood, and Eve, on the floor blood flowing from her wound.
"Eve!!" Xena ran to her daughters crumpled body.
"I'm sorry Xena, but Eve has to die." Gabrielle replied, still acting from the Furies' attack on her mind.
Xena could feel Eve's faint pulse and gently picked up her daughter. Suddenly a shriek of laughter could be heard as Gabrielle was thrown to the floor.
"Xena...I'm so sorry" gabrielle gasped. "What have I done?"
Xena shifted her daughter in her arms slightly.
"I dont think it was entirly you, Gabrielle."
"Gabby!"
Gabrielle looked up to see the Goddess of Love standing beside her.
"Aphrodite" Xena went on God alert, ready to protet her daughter.
" Chill Xena, I'm not here to kill Eve" Aphrodire said, looking wearily at the messanger.
"Why are you here?" Xena asked.
"To warn you." the Goddess said simply.
"Warn us?"
"Athena's using the Furies to entice Gabrielle into killing Eve."
"Your warnings a little late, its already happened." Xena stated coldly.
"She's relentless Xena." Aphrodite said softly.
"Because Eve's the bringer of the Twilight?"
"I dont think thats all of her motives." the Goddess said. "I know my sister. She's usually so in control, but this phrophecy..its changed her. I dont think Athena's doing this just because of a phrophecy. Killing a person for her own gain goes against what she believes, theres another reason..there has to be"
"Well why do you think Athenas trying so hard.?" Gabrielle asked.
"I think its revenge..."Aphrodite said softly.
"Revenge against what?" Xena asked.
The Goddess of love had already disapeared.
