Chapter 2
Zedd was hungry, Richard was supposed to be back ages ago, where was he? Cara laughed, "Still thinking about your stomach there Zedd?"
"Oh come on Cara, I bet you're as hungry as him", Kahlan interjected, her too wondering where her Seeker was.
Cara opened her mouth to respond, when she heard voices through the trees. Great, she thought, now Lord Rahl is talking to himself. Just as she was wondering whether he had got the catch on not, she recognised another voice.
Bree Rahl, child of all evil, Rahls daughter- the black assassin. Fear coursed through her veins as she remembered all the terrible things that girl had done. She could not let this monster near her master, but by the sound of it, she was already acquainted with Richard!
"Cara is something wrong", Kahlan asked, noticing the look of sheer panic in the Mord'Siths face. Cara was about to tell her of this monster when three people walked into the camp, a boy no older than ten, the Seeker and Bree. Hatred filled Cara's eyes as she stared at Bree.
"Zedd, Kahlan", the boy exclaimed, rushing forward into Kahlan's open arms.
"Renn, oh Renn it's good to see you. Wait, what are you doing here? I thought you were with the sisters of the light." Kahlan's obvious joy at seeing the boy marred here question.
"I was with them, but then a messenger came from Aydindril, seeking my help. They said that with the fall of confessors, they needed somebody to lead the council in judgment, and what better person than a listener?"
"Wait, I thought I sent my sister to Aydindril" Kahlan's worry seeping into every word she spoke.
Adelaide was nervous by all this talk of Dennee, didn't they know that she was dead, Had Cara not told the Mother Confessor that it was her herself who had killed her only surviving family?
"When did this messenger come? Kahlan asked, crouching down to look into Renn's eyes.
"When the moon was last full" he answered, wondering what she could have meant by what she said.
A sigh of relief left Kahlan's lips as she rose to her feet, turned and looked Adelaide directly in the face and asked "who are you?"
"oh, let me introduce you", Renn interjected, casting Adelaide a side long glance, " Kahlan Amnell, meet Adelaide Amnell, my sworn protector, and the only other confessor alive in this vast land. She's your cousin's daughter"
"Adelaide?" Kahlan questioned, carefully moving towards the girl. She reached Adelaide, saw her locket and took her in her arms. Adelaide, not used to such contact, froze. After a pointed look from Renn, she hugged Kahlan back, unsure whether this was the right decision.
Kahlan released her, stood back and took in the girl she'd thought she'd lost forever.
Adelaide's head snapped up, she hesitated, then shoved the Mother Confessor to the ground, drawing her weapons as she went, staring at the arrow that had come so close to killing her only family.
Jumping to her feet, she pulled the shocked Kahlan up with her, as she said the words that filled her heart with fear. "The Quad, they've found us!"
