The first yanked his sword free while the other pulled him over harshly ripping his armour away. The first man turned slowly looking at the wound ignoring the man’s struggling. “Its animal general, he’s useless to us.” Apostolos sneered seeing the confusion in the raven-haired warriors face. He eyed her for a long moment before looking up catching sight of the blonde haired girl who was leaning against the saddle. She looked very pale almost sickly but there wasn’t a single wound on her exposed arms or legs that he could see. He eased up his hand eyeing the other man who still looked shocked as he was yanked in to a standing position by the two men holding him. “Throw him in the cell with the others!” Xena folded her arms watching as the two soldiers pulled the confused captain away.

She looked up meeting the general’s cold gaze. “What’s going on here?” Apostolos eyed her not bothering to hide his disgust. “Nothing that concerns you, you, brought my soldier here and for that I thank you but I have no more use of you stranger.” Xena watched as Bastiaan disappeared from view. “That man needs medical attention if you lock him up his wounds will fester and he will die.” Apostolos turned slowly meeting her cold ice blue gaze. “Believe me he doesn’t need any help with his wounds…” He turned eyeing Gabrielle. “What’s in Tartarus is wrong with her?” Xena turned feeling the anger churn in her pit of her stomach she didn’t know what was going on here but what ever it was it was insane.

The general was boarder line insane…she could tell by the faces of his soldiers that they weren’t happy about his orders. She turned looking at Gabrielle she wasn’t willing to risk her lovers safety. If they weren’t even going to stitch the other mans wounds there wasn’t any chance that they’d help her ether since she’d been bitten by the same creature. She looked up at Gabrielle. “She’s sick from riding the horse…she had a late lunch.” Apostolos moved towards the younger woman only to be stopped in his tracks as the warrior woman moved forward to stand in front of him. “Really…well I hope for your sake it was a late lunch. I’d hate to have to put her in cell along with that other bastard.”
