“It is only fair
Dahak” Callisto held Hope and Dahak argued with her more. He
asked for the child back as Hope continued to cry. Gabrielle stood
stunned at what Callisto was doing but she had an idea to distract
Callisto long enough to get Hope back. There was one person she
could not resist fighting. She would have to stop what she planed
to make room for her to fight Xena.

“Callisto”
Xena stood behind Callisto her sword out and her chackram ready to
throw.

“Xena, what are
you doing?”

“We have a fight
to settle.” Xena tried to edge Callisto into fighting with
her.

“You know that I
usually like to fight you but right now I am to busy revenging
Kanara’s death.”

“Kanara is dead.
Who killed her?”

“My
brother.”

“I didn’t
know you had a brother.” Xena lost her guard for a minuet,
Kanara meant a great deal to her; she was her granddaughter after
all.

“Neither did I
until Dahak told me what happened to our parents.”

“You mean Dahak is
you brother.”

“Unfortunately,
which means, he killed my kid, I kill his.” Callisto held
Hope in her hands, she didn’t really want to kill Hope, and
she knew she couldn’t but she could take her from
Dahak.

“Callisto I knew
that you were mad but this is suicide” Xena lowered her
weapons.

“Exactly. Go on
brother do your worst, Xena if you want to join be my
guest.”

“Callisto I will
not kill you.” Xena shocked more then Callisto with these
words. Gabrielle stood behind Dahak with her mouth wide
open.

“Callisto I will
not kill you when you are asking for it.” Dahak could have
killed her but it wouldn’t be much fun. “That would be
boring. I thought my sister had a little more of the warrior in
her.”

“Dahak, if you
will not kill me because I asked then I challenge you to the death
and if you don’t accept then I take all that you own.”
Callisto looked at her brother hoping that he will accept, he
couldn’t reject it, he nearly killed her two days ago so why
not finish the job off today. “c2″>

“I will not fight
and nor will you. You are mad with rage so I will allow you to take
your anger out on me but you know that you can not kill
me.”

“I can’t
kill you no.” Callisto took out the vile of Hinds-blood.
“But I have someone that I can try” Callisto looked
down at Hope.
