10 Music Dabbles
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a dabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the dabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.
Author's Note: I write super fast. So there may be many spelling & grammar errors. The spell checker caught a lot of 'em. But, this was opposed to be a timed writing challenge. So I didn't proof read like I normally do. I wanted to get this challenge posted as is – and just leave it there.
1 – I want You – Sophie B. Hawkins
"I want you." I said looking into her eyes.
"How can you?" She asked her eyes locked onto mine.
"Because you live." My hand rose and glided across the right side of face. "I want you. You have to believe me when I say this too you. I want you." I whispered.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I want you in every way possible." I leaned forward and lightly kissed her forehead. Then her right cheek, then her left cheek. I kiss her chin. Then I kissed her swan like neck. I lifted my eyes and met her gazed over ones. I move up until I was just an inch away from her mouth. "I want you."
"I want you also, Cara." Kahlan whispered, it was she whom captured my lips with her own.
I deepened the kiss as I felt the palm of her hands on my jaw line. My hands rose and captured her jaw. I felt both of us rise to our knees as our love was captured in this one deep kiss of ours.
2 – Please Forgive me – Bryan Adams
Kahlan stormed away in anger. How dare she do this too me! After everything that we had gone through together. After every single fight that we had since she joined us on our quest. After every tender moment that we shared. She couldn't believe that Cara still had the power to hurt her in this fashion.
Cara simply stood in the spot where she and Kahlan had shared yet another round of angry words. She fully knew that she went too far this time with Kahlan. She knew that Kahlan would find it hard to forgive her this time. Her jaw tightened, Good, now perhaps the Mother Confessor will finally see me as the lost cause that I'm truly am. Not fit for her friendship. Not fit for the Seeker's friendship or even the Wizards. Perhaps now the Mother Confessor would leave her the hell alone – so she could go back to just protecting the Lord Rahl – as she had always set out too do.
"Go after her." Richard said in a rough voice from the right of the stubborn and proud blond woman.
"She's better off angry at me." Cara said slowly turning her eyes on her Lord Rahl.
Richard looked at Cara for a long moment, his hands folded across his chest. "As your Lord Rahl, I order you to go and talk with the Mother Confessor. I don't want to see you, or even have you near me until you make things right her."
"Yes Lord Rahl." Cara sighed and turned and walked the way the angry Mother Confessor had gone too.
She stopped dead still in her tracks as heartbreaking sobs met her ears. Her heart skipped several beats as she realized that she had caused those sobs to come bursting forth. Her jaw tightened and she moved towards the sounds.
Tears rose in her eyes as she stared at the figure before her. The Mother Confessor was kneeing on the hard forest floor with arms across her chest – and her head bowed low. The Mother – no; Kahlan's head was bowed as she tried to fight for breath. Cara sank down behind the other woman, and wrapped her leather clad arms around the body. Gently pulling the other woman's back against her chest.
Kahlan's arms wrapped around Cara's as she just held onto the strong body as her broken body began to heal from the heart break. She leaned her head back against the other woman's neck as her sobs slowly muted down to just whimper.
"Please forgive me," Cara whispered in her ear. "Please forgive me for trying to push you away when you got so close. Please forgive me …." She couldn't go on, her heart finally allowed the wall to come crashing down.
Kahlan just held the sobbing woman as Cara finally allowed the frighten little girl out.
3 – Shine – Dolly Parton
Kahlan laughed gleefully at the sight before her. Cara was dancing among the wildflowers in the clearing of the woods that they had been traveling in.
Cara stopped dead in her tracks. Her body was tightly facing away from the Mother Confessor.
"I didn't mean to startle you." Kahlan said in a soft voice from right behind her. Cara felt the other woman's hands on her shoulders. "I just wanted to watch as the little girl Cara finally made her way back out into the world."
"I haven't danced like that since right before I was stolen." Cara half whispered and breathed out.
Kahlan rested her head against her neck, "I hope little girl Cara is here to stay."
"I can't promise anything." Cara said in stiff voice.
"I'll keep a watch out." Kahlan said as her arms wrapped around Cara's slim leather clad waist.
4 – Tell Her No – The Zombies
"I said no." Cara said glaring into Kahlan's sparkling eyes.
"What are you so afraid of?" Kahlan folded her arms across her chest.
"I said no." Cara repeated in a firm voice. "Leave it at that."
"I don't take no for an answer." Kahlan said laughing underneath her breath. "It'll do you a world of good."
"No." Cara stormed folding her arms across her own chest. "No, no, no,no,no, n-"
5 – Happy Together – The Turtles
"I think about you day and night." Kahlan confessed leaning into the comforting arms of her lover. "I shouldn't. I know that. It's not proper. How can it be – when as a confessor I must find a male mate to bear a daughter." She lifted her head and kissed the waiting lips, "But I don't want anyone else but you."
"You may mate with Richard, and have a daughter." Cara said after breaking the kiss. "Just as long as we are happy together, Kahlan, that's all I care about. I can share you with Lord Rahl."'
"Me and you. You and Me. No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be you and me." Kahlan whispered her promise as she drew Cara to her for another round of showing her love.
6 – Sweet Pea – Tommy Rose
"What did you just call me?" Cara demanded stopping dead in her tracks. She watched as Kahlan walked five more steps before she too stopped.
Kahlan turned around and smiled, "Sweet Pea."
Eyes slanting, "Don't ever call me Sweet Pea ever again, Mother Confessor."
Kahlan walked back to the blond tightly high strung woman whom she called best friend. "What if I did?"
"You will meet the end of my fists.." Cara threaten. "No one calls me Sweet Pea."
"It suits you." Kahlan said. "I don't care if you kill me, Cara, I'm going to call you Sweet Pea."
Cara just glared into the smiling eyes of the Mother Confessor.
Kahlan leaned in and kissed her cheek, "I care deeply for you Sweet Pea." She straightened and started to walk in order to catch up with Richard and Zedd.
Cara stood rooted to her spot. Her hand rose to her cheek as she still felt the sting of the kiss that Kahlan had so willing, and freely given her. "I can live with Sweet Pea." She murmured. "Only you can get away calling me that Mother Confessor, no one else." She slowly followed Kahlan down the trail.
7 – Mountain Angel – Dolly Patron
"You are my Mountain Angel." Kahlan stroked the blond hair from Cara's right side.
"I'm no damn Angel." Cara moved backwards, away from the other woman's touch.
"You are my Mountain Angel." Kahlan repeated moving forward once more. "You are mine." She kept up moving forward as the other woman moved backwards. She soon had Cara against a tree. She moved her body closer as she lowered her head to capture the other woman's mouth with hers.
Cara closed her eyes as Kahlan's lips met her. She quickly shoved her tongue inside the Mother Confessor's mouth. Her hands rose to the back of Kahlan's head and pushed her tightly against her. She knew that she was rough and brute with the kiss. But, she had her reasons.
Kahlan's hands rose to rest against the tree, so she could move even tighter against the other woman. She pressed so hard that she felt her heart beating against Cara's leather clad covered heart. She broke the kiss as air became an necessitate, her head lowered so she could attack Cara's neck.
"I'm no Angel." Cara hissed hotly in her ear.
"Neither am I." Kahlan moaned as she licked, and bite at the hot neck underneath her mouth. "Neither am I." She said lifting her head and capturing the lips of her lover once more.
8 – A Broken Wing – Martina McBride
Kahlan looked down at the sleeping Cara. Her hand rose and gently ran down the bare hot skin. She was happy that she had won the battle with Cara that night. Cara was sleeping naked underneath her blanket roll. Only part of her right side was showering.
Richard and Zedd had agreed to be gentlemen and move out of sight of the camp. Both of them were of course within walking distance – in case of any unseen problem rose.
Kahlan thought of Cara when she was a little girl stolen from her family. About how she was trained into killing her mother, and then her father. How Cara had her life stolen away from her by evil. Cara truly was a broken winged bird.
Cara began to mumble in her sleep. Kahlan couldn't make sense at what the fragile, broken woman said. But, she knew how to calm the blond woman down. She gently lowered her head down to rest on Cara's left breast – just underneath her beating heart. Her arms wrapped around the thin waist. "I love you." She whispered.
Cara began to hum. Kahlan glanced up and saw the peaceful smile on the broken woman's lips.
9 – Trouble (Acoustic) – P!nk
"Here comes trouble." Kahlan breathed as she watched the blond woman walking towards her.
"Kahlan." Richard said with a deep sigh.
"She's just going to cause more trouble for you, Richard." Kahlan said wrapping her arms tightly across her chest.
"She's trying to get her life back. We – no I owe her that." Richard said. "I owe her, for what my father and brother had willing put her through."
"You don't owe her anything, Richard. You didn't steal her. You didn't break her." Kahlan said.
"She gets to decide if she stays or goes. I'm not going to force her to anything." Richard said in a firm tone.
Cara stopped in front of the angry Mother Confessor, and the much stressed out Seeker. "Where are we going next?"
Richard relief over came him. "I'm glad that you have decided to stay, Cara." He walked passed her towards where his grandfather was waiting.
The two women glared into each other eyes.
"I don't trust you." Kahlan finally broke the silence. "I highly doubt that I will ever trust you."
"I don't expect you too, Mother Confessor." the Mod Sit'h said. "I'm only here to protect the Lord Rahl." With that the blond woman turned and walked towards her Lord Rahl and the wizard.
"You are nothing but trouble." Kahlan whispered. Sighing she allowed her hands to drop to the side. She slowly walked behind Cara as the little group left Cara's childhood village.

Kahlan reached over and stopped Cara's next step.
Cara rose an eye brow.
Kahlan raised her eye brow.
"So you do you have a poker face." Cara said finally.
