Warning: This story takes place in our time period and in ancient Greece... It's a bit confusing but you'll soon see what I mean. I've made it pretty obvious who the characters are but if you get stuck on one that you can't figure out don't be afriad to ask. There is also no subtext. This is my first Xena fic so please let me know what you think.
Hey everybody! Wow I haven't posted in a long while and I am truly sorry to those of you who like my story! My computer crashed and I wasn't able to get on until two days ago. It's all better now I hope! Well these next couple of chapters are kind of short... I had to come up with something quick since I hadn't posted for a long time! Once again I am very sorry! Well on the story!
CHAPTER 18
Elle stared over at the couples coldly. She understood that she couldn't get Isaac instantly, but the fact that Calista of all people DID made her blood boil. What she didn't understand was WHY?... and HOW? and at that moment she didn't really care because all she saw was red.
"Elle calm down... you don't know what's going on. Maybe Calista was already here and she just followed them in or something", Lena explained hoping to calm down her steamed friend.
"Lena come on! He's got his arms around that blond bimbo! That obviously means something else!", Elle said not buying Lena's conclusion in the slightest.
"I know Elle... I'm sorry but just don't do anything stupid alrig-", Lena started, turning around to face Elle only to find that she was no longer there. "Elle?... Elle?", Lena called out finally spotting her over at the door with a sweet sugar coated smile on upon her face.
"Darn!", she replied, quickly walking over to where her young unpredictable friend was located. "Hey guys! Here for breakfast?", Lena asked trying to get rid of the tension between them all.
"They are... I wouldn't eat here if you paid me!", Calista replied icily.
Lena bit her tongue and held down her urge to punch Calista in the mouth. If her Mother found out she was rude to any of her customers, even Calista, she'd have her hide.
"Pity... although no one really cares... and I'm sure even if you do eat you make quick trips to the restroom after to tickle the ol' adam's apple. Am I right?", Elle asked, rage evident in her voice.
Calista stared at her coldly and quickly turned her face.
Lena stared at Elle in disbelief. She couldn't believe her little friend stood up to the 'Wicked Witch.' "Elle be a dear and go and get more menu's from the back... please", Lena said not wanting to start trouble for her Mother. Elle turned to look at Lena, confusement evident in her eyes. Lena smiled showing Elle that it was for the best. Elle nodded slightly and started the walk to the back glaring heatedly at Calista in the process.
Lena sighed with relief. 'That was almost too close!', she thought to herself quickly. Lena looked to the two couples in disgust. It was mostly because of Serena and Calista but by the way Elle was feeling Isaac was getting on her bad side and that wasn't a good thing. She frowned over the helpless look Hunter gave her. 'If he doesn't want to be with her then why is he here with her!', Lena's head screamed.
Elle arrived back with the menu's and gave a nod to the couples before retreating back to the kitchen to cool off.
"Right this way", Lena said holding back the hurt and anger she was feeling. The couple followed her and sat down. Lena slapped the menu's down on the table and exused herself for fear of vomiting.
Hunter wanted to reach out and grab her but he couldn't. It wasn't because he didn't want to but because Serena's claws were digging into his skin... or so that's the way it felt. It was time to clip the claws before they clipped him and he had to do it soon.
