Gabrielle fell to the ground, completely exhausted by the events. Ares put a comforting hand on her shoulder but she just covered her face with her hands.
'' Now, why am I not surprised to see you? After Iolaus and Eli wanting to kill me, the only logical thing would be you to come and bother me. Am I suppose to fight you? Is that how I'm suppose to die?''
A crystal laugh was her only answer, quickly followed by Ares's growl. The women was walking towards Gabrielle and he didn't like it. OK, she had wings, she was dressed like an angel and she seemed changed, but Callisto would always remain Callisto in his heart. Pure evil never changes.
'' How dare you say that Ares? When you are the living proof that even the most corrupted creature can change through love? We are not that different you and I.''
Ares stared at her in disbelief, well, she had a point, he could give her a chance after all. Gabrielle seemed to remember that she fogave Callisto for her sins long ago too, as she lifted her head and stared at the Angel.
'' You have changed so much since we last met Gabrielle. Don't you remeber why you were made an Arcangel in the first place? because your soul is pure, you have a beautiful spirit, your heart is filled with love. I was the only dark spot inside you, all the grudges you had agaisnt me. All the things I did to hurt you in the past were keeping you from beeing complete. But yet, you find in your heart the will to forgave me, it saved you. But now,the same thing is happening, oh you don't have grudges agaisnt me anymore, you have them agaisnt yourself. You're mad at yourself Gabrielle, not the others, that is what's destroying you. That's why you are so confuse, why you think you cannot love anymore. Because you stopped loving yourself, you think you're not worth it. Stop feeling guilty about the past, look happily at your future, be proud of who you've become. That, is the way of Love, that's the key of your destiny Gabrielle, always has been.''
Gabrielle was closely listening to what Callisto was telling her, her features changing at each word. Anger, suffering, sadness and understanding filled her eyes one after another.
'' I don't feel strong enough to deal with all of this anymore. What can I do about it? Do I really have to die?''
Before Callisto could answer, footsteps were heard behind them, and the angel smiled softly.
'' Why don't you listen to them Gabrielle? They've loved you for longer than I do and you've trusted them with all your heart. They know what's best for you, even if they don't have the best ways of telling it.''
Gabrielle stood up, slighty moving towards Ares to feel his strenght. The God responded by wrapping his arm around her waist. Together, feeling more at peace, they faced Eli, Michael and Iolaus. They were ready to hear what they had to say....
A/N: Sorry If I failed to update this story, but I honestly thought it wasn't that good. But I re-read it this morning and realised, HEY its not that bad, and ideas flowed my head. LOL So thanks for all the reviews, I once more feel like writing Ares/Gabrielle stories.
