Of Blood And Water
Gabrielle took in a sharp breath as she was shoved under the water again with brutal force. Her head was forced back up which hurt like Tartarus. She coughed getting the ice cold water out of her mouth taking in a breath of air which was freezing cold she looked up meeting the warlords cold gaze. "I don't know where the Empress is!" Aura raised an eyebrow in disgust gods she hated lovers they were just the worst and this long haired woman with an ugly scar on her right eye was being a pain. "Don't lie to me, your her little sex buddy I'm sure you know where she is." She paused as one of her men pulled the girl up higher by her hair. "So unless you want to drown I suggest you start talking, because no ones going to rescue you." Gabrielle felt the pain as she slammed in to the floor she coughed painfully. "Who says...I need rescuing?" She felt the pain as heavy boot smashed in to her face which caused her to hit the cold floor hard on her side, she felt the blood as it started to run down her chin. "You are going to regret that..." Aura smirked as she eased her sword free. "Oh this one has such spark...let's see how the Empress likes screwing you after I cut up the rest of your face." She thrust her sword down only to blink in shock as the blonde woman's hand shot up grabbing the end stopping it in from going any further. Gabrielle felt a bloody smile form. "Like I said what makes you think I need rescuing."
She felt her smile widen as she used her in human strength to bend the blade tip ignoring the blood as it ran through her fingers. "If any one is going to need rescuing I think it just might be you." She let go off the blade watching as the woman stepped back the fear showing in her eyes. Gabrielle felt the transformation start as she slammed her hand down watching as the black claws burst through her finger nails followed by golden fur as her fingers lengthened she felt her canines start to grow as her smile widened further as she watched as all four men and here leader run towards the door which they had stupidly locked desperately trying to open it she was going to really enjoy this. Xena turned the corridor hearing the screaming she lowered her sword already knowing that she had arrived too late. She eyed the door which was hanging of its hinges, blood was all over it. She stepped in side raising the torch higher seeing limbs and guts all over the stone floor and blood spattered against the wall a pair of glowing green eyes flashed in the dark.
She walked further in to the dark room watching as her lover came in to view there was blood dripping from her snout. Her bloody clawed hands were holding down a wounded woman who looked terrified beyond belief she could see in her lover's eyes that dark look which suggested that she was contemplating what to do next, Gabrielle very rarely killed this way in werewolf form and normally if she did, she would do it because the person had angered her in a deeply personal way. The huge golden main shook as the ears lowered as her lover caught sight of her. "Put her down Gabrielle I need her alive." Gabrielle licked her lips tasting the blood on them. "Oh but I was so hopping to play with her a little longer." Xena breathed in deeply. "Give her to me Gabrielle." She turned as the woman who had a gapping wound on her stomach was tossed in front of her landing hard on her front." Gabrielle got up moving forward on all fours she swished her tail as she got up on her hind legs slamming a clawed foot in to the woman's back so she couldn't move as she gave her lover a blood soaked razor toothed smile. "Here you go." Xena took in a deep breath as she kneeled down eyeing the warlord who was now in real pain. "Well since you've been introduced to my lover I'll cut right to the point, unless you want her to kill you like she killed your men, you'll tell me where the Iron Chalice is, you see it belongs to me…it was a gift and I want it back." Aura breathed in deeply feeling the cold blood run down her back from the huge claws. "I don't have it! Some other warlord has it…his names Trojin he's Japanese!" Xena eyed her. "You better not be lying to me!"
Aura eyed the huge six foot werewolf for a moment. "I have no reason to lie…that's what I was told…he bragged about having…" Gabrielle didn't let her finish as she grabbed her head forcing her neck sideways hearing it break causing instant death. Xena eyed her lover trying to control her anger. "She wasn't finished!" Gabrielle eased herself down on all fours as she eyed the dark haired woman. "She was finished she was lying anyway." Xena raised her hand. "You don't know that! I asked you to rouge these people up not platter their guts all over the damn walls!" Gabrielle eyed her for a long moment. "They were getting on my nerves…" She moved over to huge chest sitting in the corner forcing it open watching as piles of cold and silver came in to view. She eased out the chalice which was made of iron tossing it across the ground. "Like I said she was lying…"Xena moved forward picking up the chalice. "You knew this all along?" Gabrielle sat down opposite. "No I just know people like her…they would sell there own mother out if it meant their life."
