...Gabrielle
runs to Xena side, her best friend lies beaten and bloodied
before her. "Xena! What happened?" Her companion says
nothing. "Xena, say something!" Again, silence.
Gabrielle then takes Xena into her arms and holds her to her,
like a mother would hold it's child. "Xena...come on, say
something, I know you are in there...your're scaring me."
Emotion takes over
for Gabrielle as she moves towards her lovers parted bloodied
lips to give her what she thinks may be one last kiss. Then, she
hears ever so faintly from her beloved..."I surrender...I
surrender, take me..."
"I Surrender..."
