Discuss an individual who has scared you.
Let's see, there's everyone who's ever tried to take my head. They've all scared me at one point or another. Charles certainly scared the hell out of me when he went missing during WWI. Not to mention the things mankind can do to itself is damn frightening: wars, weapons, crusades, inquisitions. But this is about individuals, and I suppose the one that scares me the most is Adam.
Oh, not in a "he could take my head" kinda way. He could have, but didn't. Besides, I'd like to think we've moved past that after all this time; stupidity of youth and all that. But, knowing him, there'll be hell to pay when I finally tell him that Cass knows about us, and I was the one who told her.
Thing is, they have a bit of a past together. Back when he went by the name "Methos," he kept Cassandra as a slave. That, in and amongst itself, was reason enough for me to try and take his head. And we can all see how well that worked. So, naturally, I told Cass out of respect, and things between us haven't quite been the same since.
So, yeah, not only will I have to face the powder keg that is Methos' temper, I might just have to make the most difficult choice of my life: save the friendship with the woman who taught me how to survive, or choose the only man who could ever understand me. And I'm scared I'll make the wrong decision. I'm scared I'll lose Adam. I'm scared I'll lose them both.

Yeah, I know. It's not exactly what the prompt had in mind, but getting her to admit she's scared of anything is huge.
