AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is the story of Xena and Gabrielle following "A Friend in Need". It is extremely subtext-friendly. If two women showing their love for one another is not your cup of tea, please find another story you'd like to read. This story will be submitted in several parts and is based off the series, yet the "history" has been changed somewhat to suit the purposes of this story. Not all the parts of this story will contain erotic sex scenes as there is a plot. Also, I'd like to note that I do not own Xena: Warrior Princess, the series, or the characters and I will not be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.

Chapter Two ::: Xena The Conqueror
Gabrielle and the other slave women had been taken to the place of auction. It was a cramped, sweaty place with lots of pawing men and slave traders who were trying to keep order. One by one the women were lead up onto stage and sold unwillingly to the highest bidder. Gabrielle waited in the line, holding Lila's hand tightly in her own as she saw the other ladies being led away by their new owners. Most of the men who were bidding were old and ugly although some were younger and burly. The scent of unwashed bodies everywhere made Gabrielle nauseated. Whenever one of the girls would try to run away, she would be severely whipped and forced to do as they had been told by the men. How Gabrielle hated this place.
Her green eyes got wide as now it was her turn. She was ripped away from Lila and drug up onto the stage. "Gabrielle!" Lila cried out as tears streaked her face. But Gabrielle could do nothing as she was taken in front of the crowd. The crowd cheered seeing a woman as young and beautiful as Gabrielle. She had long blond hair, sparkling green eyes and a curvaceous body. Right away, some high bids were placed.
But one man stood at the back of the crowd, a woman by his side. She was a tall woman with flowing dair hair and gorgeous blue eyes. She dressed in furs and silver and she had a look that said, "Do not cross me or you shall die." She was as beautiful as she was evil. As she stood there beside the muscular man who had long black braids which reached his waist, she said, "I want that one," and glanced at Gabrielle.
"She will be mine... buy her for me, Borias," Xena insisted, her eyes on Gabrielle. She had wanted a new slave girl. Someone fresh and young for her amusement. She already had one servant girl named Satrina, but now it time for something new. Something innocent and blond.
"Yes, Xena," Borias said as he raised his hand high into the air, offering a hefty amount of gold for the young woman. A gasp went out over the crowd. This day no other woman had been bought for such a great amount of gold. No one would or could challenge that bid.
"Sold," cried out the slave trader much to Gabrielle's horror.
"Wait!" Borias called out as he slowly approached the stage, his muscles flexing as he walked. "She is a virgin, no?"
The slave trader holding the struggling Gabrielle shrugged. No one really knew. None of his men had defiled this one, but that didn't mean she was untouched. She may have lost her virginity before her capture.
"Xena, come here!" Borias called out. Reaching the stage, Xena arrived at Borias's side. Her blue eyes fell on Gabrielle who was trembling with fear and rage and trying to escape the guard.
"They are uncertain of her innocence," Borias told Xena.
Xena's eyes got darker, almost black as she walked closer to Gabrielle. Gabrielle nearly fainted. This was Xena. HER Xena. *How could this be?*
