Chapter 03: Awaken

Agron let out a groan when he was yanked from his slumber by a commotion from outside the small room that he, Donar and Auctus had decided to sleep in. It was the same room he had spent most of the day in. It was the same room that Mira had cut his hair. And the same room that he had made the necklace he currently wore around his neck, for Duro. Duro, his dreams had been full of Duro before he had been rudely awakened. Dreams were the only place he could continue to be with his brother. As the images of Duro's face faded Agron let out a sigh and sat up pulling his hooded cloak that covered him off. The blankets which he was using to sleep on didn't give much relief from the hard stone and he could feel his muscles ache and protest as he stretched out his limbs, letting out a yawn.

It could not be morning yet. He had not fallen to slumber for that long. Agron reached over and picked up his belt that held his sword and dagger from the spot he had placed them in before he fell to sleep. At the sound of his sword sliding across the floor, Auctus jolted into a sitting position and clenched his dagger in his hand tightly. Agron couldn't make him out that well in the low light of the candle that now burned but he knew what his friend was doing regardless. "Still yourself and fall back to slumber…" Agron said to him as he got to his feet and strapped the belt back around his hips. He picked up his hooded cloak and shrugged it on.

Auctus watched Agron as he got to his feet and then shook his head and got to his feet as well. He was not going to sit around while something was happening. "What is the cause of such a disturbance?" He asked as he too strapped his leather back on and pulled on his own cloak. He heard Donar let out a snore and glanced to where the German still laid. Even in the low light he could see that Donar was sprawled out on the blankets. He let out another snore as Auctus made his way to him and he pushed him in the side with his foot, causing the German to grunt and then sprang to his feet, with surprising ease, axe ready. Auctus was amazed at how much Donar was built much as Barca was. He let out a huff of air before he spoke. "Calm self you lumbering oaf." He chuckled at the half asleep German.

Donar grunted at Auctus' words. "You should know not to sneak up on a sleeping Gladiator." He wasn't sure what was going on but did not appreciate the rude awakening.

"With the noise you were producing an elephant could have snuck up on you." Auctus bantered.

Donar rolled his eyes at him.

"You sound as if you were a bear, it is a wonder any of us find sleep." Auctus smirked this time, he could tell that he was getting to Donar.

Donar growled at Auctus but then turned his attention to Agron who remained silent. "What disturbs our slumber?" Donar asked running his free hand over his face trying to push the urge to fall back to sleep away.

"You mean besides you?" Auctus stepped backwards successfully avoiding the hand coming towards him.

Agron shook his head at the two before he responded to Donar's question. "I do not know…" He walked over to where the candle was burning and used it to light the torch on the wall again. He blew out the candle and then started to make his way down the narrow passageway. He could hear Donar and Auctus following. When they reached the end they were met by the sight of the Gaul's, who seemed to be, once again, in argument with Spartacus, who had Mira by his side.

"We are being hunted by the fucking Roman's!" Acer growled dangerously at Spartacus as he paced the tunnel they all stood in. He threw something angrily into the water at their feet. The sound echoed through the long tunnel.

Agron watched as Spartacus made a face at Acer which clearly said it was not new words to his ears. Even Agron knew they were being hunted it is why they had decided to lie low in the undergrounds of Capua. He suddenly wondered where the fucking Gaul leader was and why he wasn't controlling his fucking men.

"We knew they would send men after us." Spartacus said in a calm voice. He didn't know why the Gaul's were so worked up.

"This fucking preening little shit has a personal vendetta against the Bringer of fucking Rain, for the life of his cousin."

Agron let out a growl when Acer stopped his pacing and advanced upon Spartacus. Agron closed the distanced between them in just a few strides. He positioned himself between Acer and Spartacus. "You fucking shit…" Agron said through gritted teeth at Acer, he did not like any of the Gaul's and he certainly did not like them placing blame solely on Spartacus when their own leader had agreed to their escape plan. Agron was ready to fight all of the Gaul's if he had too, but Spartacus placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled him backwards putting space between him and Acer.

"Enough, we do not need to fight amongst ourselves. We have enough enemies outside these walls without building them within." Spartacus didn't let go of Agron as he spoke, he did not want to give him a chance to act. He knew Agron's hatred for the Gaul's was strong and he had seen Acer and Agron at each other in the past. He turned his gaze to Donar and Auctus who both had their hands on their weapons. He shot them each a warning look and Donar seemed to relax slightly, but Auctus came walking towards him and Agron, letting out a snarl at Acer as he past him. They were divided way too much for Spartacus' liking. "Where is Crixus?"

Acer scowled at Auctus, the Greek had taking a liking to Agron and was never far from his side, like the German needed protection, it was rather annoying. Acer smirked when his eyes fell on Agron again, who Spartacus was still holding onto. The German was feisty and looked as though he want to kill them for just being in his presence. Acer's smirk grew at the thought, he didn't hold any love for the German's but Agron was someone he would rather fuck than kill. He reached out and took a hold of the new necklace that now hung around the German's neck and down his torso, Agron's whole body seemed to tense showing that he was uncomfortable. He started to slide his hand down the long strands of the necklace when his hand was swatted away by Agron. Acer let out a small chuckle before he turned his gaze on Spartacus, who was frowning at him. "Crixus is in seek of information." He finally said.

"He risks getting caught?" Mira shook her head. She knew that Crixus was going to start looking for Naevia but they needed to be careful if they had more Roman's hunting them now. There were more pressing matters than seeking information on Naevia's whereabouts. They needed food but she doubted these Gaul's would help provide any.

The Gaul's all broke out into laughter at her words. "He will not be caught." Liscus said through his laughter.

"It is most dangerous for Crixus or Spartacus to be out. They will be the first to be recognized." Mira said in an annoyed tone. These men were even getting on her nerves. She understood why Agron had a dislike for them. They were rude and foolish men.

"Stupid woman, your words mean little to us and you speak as though your voice matters. That you are more than Spartacus' whore." Rhaskos roared out.

"Hold you words…" Spartacus warned, gritting his teeth.

Agron let out a low growl that rumbled in his chest at Rhaskos words. Spartacus tightened his hold on him and Mira's hands found purchase on his bicep, her long, slender fingers squeezing the muscle. Agron heard Donar let out a growl from behind Mira. He inhaled a deep breath before he spoke but knew that he couldn't keep the growl out of his words. "You fucking piece of shit. Say that again and I will remove tongue from fucking mouth."

"Agron…" Spartacus was sure if he tightened his grip any more he would hurt his friend. But he did tighten it and he felt the muscles tense under the pressure. He had warned Rhaskos of his words he had to do the same to Agron. Even though he was happy Agron had said it.

The Gaul's all advanced towards Agron but Auctus stepped in front of Agron blocking their way to him. "Press your luck. I pray you give me a reason to use this." Auctus warned, his lip curling up into a snarl as he tightened his hold on his dagger. He was one of the most veteran Gladiators among them but he knew the Gaul's didn't respect him. He would teach them a lesson if he had too. He looked back at Agron and Mira when he felt Mira grab his arm, he could tell that she didn't want them to fight but he would if need be.

Mira tightened her grip on Agron's and Auctus' arms, hoping that there would be no bloodshed. She watched Agron closely hoping that he would not go for his dagger, which he was very skilled at using. She heard Spartacus get out a grumble at the situation that was happening but he remained still, holding tightly onto Agron's shoulder and watching his men very closely.

"Fall from sight..." Spartacus said firmly, trying to dismissing the Gaul's. He wanted them out of his sight. They all laughed again as they all turned to head towards the main part of the cisterns that the rest of the Rebels were sleeping in. Spartacus let out a long breath and then let go of Agron's shoulder. "Pay no mind to his words." Spartacus said to Mira and then placed his hand on her shoulder, she was still holding on to Agron but she had let go of Auctus who was now facing them.

Mira turned her head so she was looking up at Spartacus and she gave him a small smile. The words had stung slightly but she did not hold them to heart. She had heard a lot worse about herself in the past. "Spartacus, we need to find food. Our supplies are low, may have enough for morning meal and then all will be gone."

"I will put a group to the task." Spartacus assured her.

"I am in need of fresh air. I shall take the task on. But I shall need assistance." Mira glanced at Agron and Auctus as she spoke. "I shall take what coins we have left and procure bread and vegetables." They had managed to gather some coin before they left the villa but they were running low on that too. "Will you be my escort?" Mira asked Agron.

Agron nodded his agreement and then let out a sigh. He was exhausted and would gladly fall back to slumber but he would help her.

"I shall lend aid as well." Auctus raised an eyebrow at Donar as the man let out a loud yawn. "What of you?" He asked his blond German friend.

Donar let out another yawn and then tilted his head to the side. "Does Mira need three of us?"

"No, Mira does not. One of you may return to slumber." Mira took a hold of Agron's arm hoping he knew she wanted him to go with her. When he gave her another nod she turned her attention to Spartacus. "You should get rest." The man had not been sleeping that much. She was worried of him falling ill from lack of food and sleep. As a matter of fact she was worried about that from all of them men that stood at Spartacus' side. When they were Gladiators, they were allowed to get their rest, but now that they were on the run and hiding, constantly worrying about being found, recaptured and executed. It was a heavy thing to deal with every moment so it was no doubt that it was wearing on some of them.

"I am fine." Spartacus brushed a strand of Mira's black hair out of her face and smiled at her. She nodded but she knew he needed rest. He could not hide that from her.

"I shall see you on your return." Donar said to Agron and Auctus. He was more than happy to return to slumber and was happy that he was not set to guard this night.

Agron nodded at Donar and watched the man walk back into the dark passageway. He was sure he would find him snoring upon his return. "Shall we go?" Agron asked Mira and Auctus.

Mira let out a yawn of her own and then smiled up at Agron. "Yes let us make haste and hopefully go unseen." She pulled the tattered cloak she had acquired tighter around herself and followed Spartacus towards the exit to the cisterns, Agron and Auctus following closely.

Agron pulled the hood of his cloak up over his head. He was just about ready to lead the way up the ladder when Spartacus put his hand on his arm. He turned his gaze on the Thracian.

"Do not show brand. Stay to the shadows. I will have you all return unharmed." Spartacus said calmly, despite that actual nerve he felt about them venturing out.

"We shall be cautious." Mira assured her lover and leaned up to place at kiss to his lips. Spartacus didn't usually show affections in front of the others but he allowed her this and she was grateful. Mira turned to face Agron again and gave him a nod.

When Spartacus let go of his arm Agron started to climb the ladder. He reached the top and opened the hatch, the crisp, cool early morning air hit his face and he took in a deep breath. The air no longer felt stale or stifled. Maybe Mira had known that fresh air would do him good. He breached the top and stepped out on the dry earth, which crunched under his feet. He turned back to the hole and helped Mira out when she reached the top, she was quickly followed by Auctus. Agron was about to close the hatch when he saw a cloth covered head coming up. "What is this?" He asked not sure what was going on.

"I am to aid you." The words from the figure echoed off the small hatchway.

Agron offered her his hand when she reached the top and let out a sigh. "Aurelia, you do not need to aid us." The small woman was now smiling at him.

"I know I do not need to but I will." Aurelia raised one of her thin eyebrows at him and then turned her gaze to Mira. "Spartacus already agreed."

"Let us hope that we will bend in." Agron said he closed the hatch and then started walking making his way towards the center of town with Mira at his side and Aurelia and Auctus following behind.
