Chapter 2
Take Me With You
Aeryn woke to the smell of breakfast cooking, she sat up to see Gabrielle leaning over a fire stirring a pot of stew and Xena packing up the bedrolls. "Well your finally awake" said the Bard handing her a bowl of hot stew. "Hey Gabrielle do you think its all right if I stay and travel with you for a while" asked Aeryn between mouthfuls. "I don't see why not" replied the bard taking her empty bowl.
Xena overhearing their conversation barged in "Gabrielle can I speak with you for a moment" she demanded. Gabrielle knew the look in the warriors eyes and got up and obediently followed her. When Xena was sure they were out of earshot she began to speak "Gabrielle we can't take her with us she's to young and its too dangerous."
"I know Xena but I overheard you and Aeryn last night and it brought tears to my eyes at what that poor girls been through and I don't want anything like that to happen to her again" pleaded the bard.
Xena's emotions almost got the better of her when she looked into the bards beautiful green eyes and she almost agreed. "NO" she said and walked back to camp.
Aeryn got up with no trouble and approached the fuming warrior "Xena please let me travel with you, you're the first kind person I've met since Nana died and I don't want to be alone anymore. Xena please I'm begging you, I promise I wont get in the way and I'm a very hard worker just please please please let me come with you" pleaded Aeryn giving her the cute puppy dog eyes.
Xena's emotions finally caught her when she looked in to the girls eyes that reminded her so much of Gabrielle's and she agreed.
