Disclaimer: Nothing is mine, it belongs to the idiots who killed Dahlia.
AN: Okay so things you need to know, right, Zedd, Kahlan and Richard have been transported to happy-verse, with all the knowledge and memories of crappy-verse, so basically they hate Dahlia, yeah Cara is really gonna stand for that isn't she, Oh and Kahlan's mother is alive, don't ask me why it just happened. In this chapter Cara begins to investigate her father's death, K/R/Z come into things, and of course fluff between our favourite ladies.
Chapter One,
Happy-verse
"Lady Rahl, all the evidence points towards accidental death" One of Cara's more elderly advisor's said.
"'Accidental death'?, with all the Mord'Sith the man had posted around him, unlikely story, it was suicide." Another retorted argumentatively.
"How do we know that the Mord'Sith didn't kill him themselves?" Now that caught her attention, rising from her father's throne, no her throne she had to stop thinking of her father in the present tense, he was gone and these power hungry jackals were throwing accusations left, right and centre.
"Let me make this perfectly clear..." She snarled dangerously "...I know for a fact that the Mord'Sith aren't to blame, its their duty to protect the reigning monarch, and if I find out any of you had something to do with this, I will peel the skin from your bones with my bare fucking hands" She snapped.
She felt lost on new found land now that her beloved father was with the Good Spirits, but she refused to cry, tears are a weakness that she couldn't afford to show at a pivotal time such as this. Everyone was going to be testing her, pushing her to her limits, waiting to see if she was going to break under pressure. The doors to the throne room burst opened to reveal Dahlia, clad in her typical crimson leather though her demeanour was far more stoic than usual, and the visibly nervous court physician obediently followed behind her lover, like a well trained dog. The tall brunette confidently strode forth, to take her rightful place at the side of her Lady Rahl.
"So physician what have you found?" Cara questioned harshly.
"Lady Rahl your Lord father... he was...um...he was poisoned." The physician stuttered nervously, fearful of his Mistress' response. Cara's fiery and explosive temperament was famous among every living person in the three territories.
"What!" Cara yelled through gritted teeth, rage poured through her veins with the force of a flash flood, she couldn't believe she was hearing this her father had been murdered, who, how, and why, her father had been one of the most generous monarchs in history, and someone had murdered him.
"Everyone out" Cara snarled "Now!" the blonde yelled when her orders weren't immediately obeyed. When she felt Dahlia move away from her, she swiftly reached out and snagged her brunette lover's arm.
"Not you" Cara whispered brokenly, Dahlia hated the raw emotion in Cara's voice. Dahlia pulled Cara into the comfort of her arms, not sure how to make Cara feel better, the brunette didn't know what she was feeling half the time, so how was she supposed to understand the pain Cara was feeling.
"Don't ever leave me Dahlia" Cara whispered nuzzling her face into the slender column of Dahlia's neck.
"Never" Dahlia promised kissing the top of Cara's head.

Crappy-verse,
"This spell could cause irreparable damage to life as we know it" Zedd explained as he looked at the blonde woman he had come to view as a granddaughter. His feisty, rude, and utterly endearing granddaughter.
"We don't have a choice, Cara would go to the ends of the Earth for me, for all of us" Richard said, looking at the blonde that was like a protective sister to him.
"Bring her back to us Zedd" Kahlan pleaded gently, staring at her best friend, who was sneering at them and their show of affection.

Back in happy-verse,
Twenty-year old, Cara was sat on her throne glaring at the general before her, what was his name, Benoit, Bartholomew, Benji, Cara had given up trying to remember all of their names particularly the ones who failed her on a simple task. Go to to Stowcroft, check the crops, the grain stores, and the population then report back to her. How hard was that, well apparently Benji couldn't do that without deflowering the mayor's daughter.
"So you're telling me that you couldn't do a simple task, something a child could do without any problems whatsoever" Cara questioned sarcastically.
"Well I wouldn't say that exactly" Benji countered.
"Huh I would, seems I'll have to send the Mord'Sith after all" Cara smirked knowing of the feud between the sisters of the Agiel and the Dragon Corps, of course the Mord'Sith were her favourite because they could actually get things done. Just as the fool in front of her opened his mouth to defend himself she interrupted him "You are dismissed, general and I'm even going to give you some much needed vacation time with Mistress Denna" fear crossed the fool's face, as the door to her chambers opened to reveal none other than Mistress in question.
"My Lady" Denna said respectfully, bowing her head, "You required my presence" the other blonde asked.
"Yes take general what's-his-name, and teach him what happens to incompetent fools" Cara instructed swiftly as the usual begging and pleading filled her chambers.
"I'm surrounded by idiots" Cara muttered to herself, when she was alone.
"I hope that doesn't include me" a familiar voice drawled. Dahlia. Meeting her lover's ice blue stare the blonde arched an eyebrow in question.
"Has anyone ever told you its rude to eavesdrop?" Cara remarked. Dahlia walked closer to Cara swaying her hips slightly, the brunette brought her gloved hand to her lips and pretended to think really hard.
"Hmm I think my lover tried to tell me once" As Dahlia spoke Cara rose from her throne and slowly stalked over to the brunette, a playful smirk gracing the blonde's sculpted lips.
"And what, prey tell did you do with this piece of wisdom?" Cara asked teasingly, placing her hands on Dahlia's slender waist and drawing the brunette closer to her.
"Well after ignoring her for the first few dozen times, it seemed a shame to start listening to her now" Dahlia finished earning her a slight laugh from Cara, she really doesn't laugh enough Dahlia thought as she wrapped her arms around the slightly shorter woman's neck. But then who could blame her, they still didn't know who had murdered her father, and she was still surrounded by power hungry imbeciles, but at least they were together.
And then there was Zedd, the old wizard had shown up at the palace little over two years ago, claiming to be an old friend of Panis Rahl, story had actually checked out to Dahlia's amusement and Cara's dismay, but when the wizard had proved to have extensive knowledge about ancient magic's Cara had decide to keep the old man around "just in case", personally Dahlia thought Cara only kept him around so they could spar verbally, which they did quite often.
Then after about four months of being Cara's advisor a young woods guide by the name of Richard had shown up claiming to be Zedd's grandson, once again the story had checked out to Dahlia's annoyance and Cara's amusement, the two could constantly be found hunting in the near by forest, why Cara would want to hunt herself when she had a legion of Mord'Sith who would have happily have done for her, was beyond Dahlia's comprehension. The icing on this ridiculous cake came in the form of a young Confessor by the name of Kahlan Amnell, daughter of the mother Confessor Sonya Amnell. Kahlan and Dahlia really didn't get on, fortunately the Confessor had been so preoccupied with mooning over Richard as of late, the two were most definitely in love, though Kahlan was so scared of confessing him they hardly ever touched. Dahlia would've found it funny if it wasn't so tragic, that and the last time she'd made the mistake of mocking the not-so-happy-couple to Hally, the traitor hadn't stopped her ranting when Cara had materialized behind her with her golden eyebrow raised. Dahlia would never look at the council table in the same way ever again, or the chairs, or the chamber floor, or Cara's throne, being bent over or stretched out, or bracing herself against said objects as her mate taught her what happens to Mord'Sith making light of serious topics, it made her cunt wet just thinking about it.

Out in the courtyard,
"- I think they're dead" One melodious feminine voice drawled with blunt playfulness.
"- Well you better pray they're not, otherwise we've had it" Another female voice commented.
"- Oh I doubt that, where else is Lady Rahl going find a Mord'Sith fluent in high D'Haran" The first voice retorted smartly.
"- Well then I'm glad that you have a safety net, whereas I'll be flayed alive, or Lady Rahl will let our sisters bend me over. Creator, I can already feel them raping my ass" The second voice growled, a soft whine in her tone.
"- Come now Raina you know I wouldn't let them do that" The first voice argued with heated confidence.
"- Oh no you'd be telling them to fuck my cunt and at what angle to do it at" Raina drawled sarcastically.
"- Well obviously, your ass is all MINE" The first voice said possessively.
"- Do shut up Berdine" Raina growled, smacking her tall and mesmerizing beautiful mate upside the head with her gloved palm.
"Ow!, what the Spirit realm... Wait they're coming around" Berdine began noticing the first signs of life in Richard, Kahlan and Zedd, the three had been found unconscious in the middle of the courtyard by the two mated Mord'Sith, little over a half a candle mark ago.
"Welcome back to the land of the living sunshine" Berdine greeted them.
"Who are you?" Richard asked groggily. Berdine and Raina shared a troubled look.
"Cara" They said in synch before running in the direction of the throne room.

Throne room,
The blonde sucked on her brunette lover's tongue as she plunged it in and out of the blonde's mouth, Cara was just about to slowly remove Dahlia's leather corset, when there was a loud knock on the door. Growling at the intrusion Cara pulled away from Dahlia quickly.
"Go away I'm not going into work today" Cara yelled at the door before she repossessed Dahlia's waiting lips. Then the door burst open to reveal Berdine and Raina.
"You really can't take a hint, can you?" Cara growled.
"Not if its one I don't like, Nope, I really can't" Berdine said grinning widely, before Raina smacked her upside the head yet again.
"Ow dammit woman, what is with the abuse" Berdine said scowling down at her slightly shorter mate, Raina smirked up at Berdine.
"Seeing as I'm gonna get thrown to our sisters, you can take a little abuse from me" Raina drawled.
"Actually I think it was more of a love tap, and why would I throw you to your sisters exactly, Raina?" Cara questioned slyly, crossing her bare arms over her generous breasts.
"Well because for some unknown reason, Richard, Kahlan and Zedd were unconscious in the inner courtyard. Annnd they can't remember us" Raina explained.
"Huh were they intoxicated, head injuries,-" Dahlia asked, not at all sounding concerned.
"Fuck that, where in the name of Creation are they now!" Cara yelled, from the way Berdine and Raina were now looking at each other, the blonde wasn't going to like this.
"Ummm... still out in the courtyard" Raina said quietly. Cara glared at Raina, "Have mercy" Raina whimpered before burrowing into Berdine's waiting arms.
"Gah! You're lucky I'm in a good mood" Cara growled before jogging out of the hall.
"So how positive is this good mood exactly?" Berdine quizzically tilted her head down at Dahlia.
"Well, you just interrupted us. She gets to deal with Zedd, Richard and Kahlan who may or may not be suffering from amnesia. And she still has to visit her mother today" Dahlia drawled with a smirk, staring up at Berdine with mirth gleaming in her perceptive blue eyes.
"So if she were to have say, an amazing orgasm she might feel a lot better?" Berdine questioned, her lively blue eyes adopting a pointed edge directed down at the Lady Rahl's beloved mate.
"Mm, more than likely" Dahlia nodded with a smirk.
"Then what am I waiting for?" Raina stated before breaking away from Berdine and moving towards the arched double doors swiftly.
"I don't think so, I don't share..." Berdine growled, grabbing Raina by the back of her two inch thick belt and dragging the smaller woman back against her more than merely ample chest "...Unless its absolutely necessary. Which is never!"
Dahlia fondly rolled her eyes at her Sister's antics as she lazily followed after Cara. Raina tilted her head back to glance up at her lover while she subtly began grinding her firm backside into the cradle of the taller woman's curvy hips. She grinned lovingly with her dark eyes as she leaned up onto the tips of her toes and nipped at Berdine's strong, stubborn jaw affectionately with her perfect white teeth. She suddenly found her lover cupping her own oval shaped jaw in one warm crimson gloved palm, her tongue darted out, trailing over her full lips teasingly. She gasped in satisfaction when Berdine crushed their lips together in a hard, prolonged kiss.
"Berdine!, Raina!" Grumbling at the interruption, the two Mord'Sith, nevertheless, separated and swiftly followed trailed Dahlia.

Out in the courtyard,
"Where are we?" Richard asked looking around the white marble structure they were last thing he remembered was Cara being re-broken and the spell of undoing.
"Welcome back to the land of the living sunshine" He could remember a female voice drawling above him, but he didn't recognise who it belonged to.
"I believe we are in the People's Palace my boy, but where is Cara?" Zedd noted, looking around the marble courtyard suspiciously.
"I'm right here old man" Cara said lazily, coming into view and grunting lightly when Kahlan immediately enveloped the blonde in a massive bear hug.
"Kahlan you're acting like you haven't seen me for weeks" Cara grunted returning the confessors hug gingerly.
"Oh joy the Confessor is hugging Lady Rahl" Dahlia drawled rounding the corner.
"-Lady Rahl!?"
"-What the hell is she doing here?"
"-What is going on?"
"Oh great they really do have amnesia" Dahlia sighed as Cara sauntered towards the brunette, hips swaying with seductive assurance.
"Now play nicely Dahlia" Cara said placing a tender kiss to her lover's succulent lips, earning her several confused and shocked looks from the other three people in the inner courtyard.
"Now then I think we should all go inside so we can deal with this mess" Cara stated already leading the way.
"Yes Lady Rahl" Dahlia said, obediently following her blonde lover. She would follow Cara into the Underworld and back if it ever became necessary.
