JUST ONE BITE

Intro./pt.1

INTRO:

XENA
Gabrielle, do it.

Just one bite, that was all it took as evil laughter filled the air of the flame-lit cave as a dryad bone fell to the ground. Xena felt the sharp pain of a pair of fangs sinking into the side of her neck. Her body began to tingle all over as she felt the power of the Bacchae beginning to take hold of her. She closed her eyes as the already-turned Bacchae Gabrielle bit down harder on her neck. It was strange after the initial pain of being bitten and her body began undergoing the transformation, Xena began to feel something. Her mind went blank of her initial fear of what might happen as her body seemed to respond on its own to what Gabrielle was doing. In an odd way Xena had found herself actually enjoying the feeling of Gabrielle latched on to her neck. Whether it was the power of the baccie, a more somewhat impassioned and stimulating desire fueled Xena's normal attraction to Gabrielle, or some combination of the two it didn't matter as Xena felt herself sinking deeper under the spell until only evil laughter could be heard echoing through the cave.

Pt. 1

GABRIELLE
Xena? Xena.

Gabrielle nudged the bundle of blankets that appeared to be moving on their own accord.

GABRIELLE
Xena.

Finally, the blankets shifted and were pulled back as Gabrielle saw Xena roll over and open her eyes. She saw Gabrielle's face and quickly grabbed her sword as she sat up, got into a crouched position and immediately went on high alert for any danger as she focused her hearing and eyes to the dark wooded area they were in. As Xena reminded on Alert for some kind of attack she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.

GABRIELLE
Xena it's okay, no one's here.

Xena looked at Gabrielle for a moment as she then sighed and sat back down on her blanket as she returned her sword to its sheathe. She then looked at Gabrielle through the dark of night as she saw a curious expression on her face.

XENA
Is everything alright?

GABRIELLE
Oh, I'm fine I just got woken up by a certain someone who was having what I think sounded like a rather fun dream.

Xena breathed a sigh of relief as she chuckled a little at the misunderstanding.

XENA
Oh is that all? Sorry about that. I didn't mean to wake you.

Xena layed back and patted the spot next to her for Gabrielle to come closer. Gabrielle smiled as she layed down and cuddled up with Xena and rested her head on Xena's chest and felt Xena put an arm around her. As the two settled back down Gabrielle idly ran her fingertips along Xena's leather-covered stomach and she couldn't help but wonder what exactly it was that Xena had been dreaming about. Although she already suspected that it involved Xena and herself likely doing something naughty. But still, she just couldn't help but ask.

GABRIELLE
So that must've been some dream to get you making the sounds I heard you making.

Xena raised her head and looked at Gabrielle.

XENA
(Thinking to herself) Damn, what exactly did she hear from that dream?
(playing innocent) What are you talking about?

Gabrielle smiled.

GABRIELLE
Oh come on Xena I think we've been together long enough for me to recognize your more impassioned sounds when I hear them.
