Chapter 4
“I still don’t
understand why we have to wear our cloaks,” Gabrielle
complained for probably the tenth time late the next afternoon as
they continued their journey back to her Amazon
village.

This time Xena answered the
question, “So that it will be easier to fool Velasca when she
shows up. If she can’t see us clearly, she should think
that they are us and we’ll be able to get
away.” She stopped suddenly, head cocked in that
listening pose she so often wore. “We’ve got
company.”

At that a dozen men stepped out of
the trees to surround the foursome. “Lookee what we got
here, boys,” said the leader grinning
widely. “Some pretty bits fer the
takin’.”

Phaedra/Gabrielle looked at
Daria/Xena and said, “You know, I’m really getting
tired of the same old garbage all the
time.”

Daria/Xena grinned back and said,
“Yeah, but it keeps your reflexes sharp.” With
that she launched her chakram. It split and deftly sliced the
two attackers farthest away, while she dealt with two nearer to
hand.

Phaedra/Gabrielle meanwhile was
enjoying the battle, spinning and kicking at her three opponents,
keeping them off balance. She found an opening and stabbed one
of the thugs knowing that he wouldn’t be bothering her
again.

“Phaedra!” hissed
Daria/Xena gesturing at the bloody sai and back toward their
younger selves.

Phaedra/Gabrielle looked
embarrassed and quickly switched her sais to defensive positions,

Gabrielle concentrated on her two
attackers. She was having minor difficulty maneuvering her
staff with the cloak in the way, but she adapted and knocked them
out. Xena quickly dealt with the three thugs nearest her and
soon the battle was over.

Daria/Xena distracted the younger
duo by complimenting Gabrielle on her staff work while
Phaedra/Gabrielle discreetly cleaned her sais. Xena however
watched Phaedra/Gabrielle uneasily. She’d seen how well
the blonde fought, and could tell it wasn’t the first time
she’d killed someone. Oh, Gabrielle, she
thought, what happened to you to make you change so
much. She’d have to talk with her about that if she
got the chance

While Phaedra/Gabrielle was still
a little distance away from the others, the wind picked up suddenly
and a vortex opened. Daria/Xena turned to Xena and Gabrielle
and called, “It’s her, get out of
here! Go! Hide! We’ll take care of
Velasca.”

Reluctantly Xena and Gabrielle
dashed into the woods pulling their cloaks back up to hide their
faces. Before they were completely out of sight, Velasca
stepped through the vortex and prepared to cast a firebolt at
them.

Phaedra/Gabrielle called out
defiantly, “Let them go Velasca! It’s me you
want!” in an effort to save the younger
pair.
