Chapter 2

Daughter

"What" Richard, Kahlan, asked loudly at the same time; while the old wizard mumbled incoherently to himself.

"You have a daughter," The old wizard said after he recovered from his shock.

"Yes she dose, and what's your probable, huh? You guys are staring at me like I'm some kind of talking tree," I said sweeping my eyes over them, at that their eyes got even bigger at my smart-aleck comment. Richard looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his head from shock, but really after spending so much time with my mother he should be used to it, really. The Mother Confessor look modified at the fact that a Mord-Sith could have a daughter. Funny, funny, well the wizard looked like the only one who didn't look like someone who you just told the world was going to end.

Ok bad joke it is going to without the stone of tears. Not even my mother who usually keeps that Mord-Sith mask on. Looked shocked beyond believe. I noticed that she was not wearing her whole outfit ether but she was wearing here blood red leather. I noticed that she had to two Agiel's instead of one, strange.

"Well mother aren't you happy to see me?" I asked looking up into her blue orbs that were the exact same color as mine.

"Xena is that really you?"

"No it's the Easter bunny," I said rolling my eyes (I don't know if they have that but let's pretend they do k)

"Denna said you were dead," My mother said still very confused.

"Well am not," I said shrugging.

"Ha I can see that," she said closing the space between us and hugging me.

"Thank God your alive Xena and if you ever do that I again I swear I'll beat you back and blue," she hugging me tighter.

"Yeah sure you will," I said hugging her back,

"Um, Cara you have a daughter?" Richard said walking up to stand by Cara as she let go of me and took a step back.

"Well yes why else would I call her mother?" I said clearly irritated that the Lord Rahl could be that slow, but I guess it is pretty unbelievable.

"Xena" Cara said in flat tone that meant keep your big mouth shut. She bent down to pick up her Agiel.

"Yes Richard I have daughter" She said looking Richard start in the eyes.

"Why didn't you tell us Cara?" Kahlan said coming up to stand by Richard, all the while keeping her eyes on me, like I was going to kill him. Hemp, as if I would even try to kill the Lord Rahl and to think this is what she does after I saved her and my mother's life.

"She would ever hurt Richard beside she can be harmless Kahlan. Also I really don't appreciate you looking at my daughter like you're going to kill her. I mean especially after she saved mine and your life Kahlan I thought you were better than that." Cara said giving Kahlan one of the, o so famous Mord-Sith look's. Ha go mom, man and people say am bad.

"Cara's right Kahlan, and you really shouldn't be looking at her daughter that way and Cara I don't want you treating Kahlan." Richard said clearly trying to ease the hostility in the air.

"Well mother aren't you going to introduces me to the Lord Rahl, Mother Confessor and the Wizard." I said looking right at Richard.

"I'm not Lord Rahl am the Seeker," Richard said looking back at me.

"Richard, Kahlan, Zedd this is my daughter Xena." Cara said gesturing to me.

"Yes you are Richard and there is nothing you can do to change that. Say it's not true as much as you want but that fact is not going to change not even when you dead so you should go ahead and get over it, and accept it," I said looking up in to his eyes as they harden with anger for just an minuet then relaxed filling with humor.

"You know for such a little girl you have a big mouth," He said looking down at me.

"First am 15 I'm not a little girl, and I leaned form the best isn't that right mother," I said looking at Cara

"By the why Xena what are you doing out here by yourself" Kahlan said looking at me.

"Following you duh," I said looking at Kahlan.

"But we coved are track's for a long time known," Richard said looking at me confused at how I could have followed them.

"Xena doesn't need to able to see track to find someone," My mother answered for me before I could say anything.

"But how?" Kahlan said confused now.

"With her gift," My mother said before I could again.

"Gift?" Zedd said looking at. "But you are a Mord-Sith right"

"Yes she is," My mother, said looking at me with sad eye. Wonder what's up with that.

"What didn't think a Mord-Sith's daughter could have powers," I said looking at the confused wizard.

"Well I think we all should find I camp and talk about this. It's getting dark and you guys look like you have a lot of questions and we could use the rest," Cara said and then turned to me "and you Xena have a lot of explaining to do."

"Yes I agree with Cara and I don't know about you all, but I don't want to spend my night close to a bunch of dead people," Zedd said gesturing to all the dead people around us.

"There's a clearing not far from here. We can get there in a few minuets'" I said

"Ok then take us there," Zedd said picking up a bag that lie on the ground.

"Here," Cara said handing me my knife that was stuck in the dead guy's body.

"Thanks' Mother," I said turning to show them to the clearing.

"So what have you been up to my daughter?" Cara said coming up to walk next to me.
