I'm still having a bit of writer's block and I actually wrote this scene 9 different ways but I really want to wrap this story up. So here we go.

Cara heard someone calling her name. It was very faint at first. She tried to focus on it but her mind felt like it was filled with tar. Thoughts were sucked into the black liquid and wouldn't come back out. She desperately hung on to the voice that broke through the tar pit. It was clear and beautiful but also pained. She frowned at the pain in the sweet voice but it was growing quieter. Finally, she couldn't hear it and she slipped back into a comatose state.

Kahlan was holding the blonde's hand and calling out her name in desperation. Cara had been asleep for 3 days already. Kahlan couldn't bear to see her lifeless form lying in bed day after day. The wounds on her body were painful to look at and hadn't improved at all.

Zedd had guessed that her injuries were the reason she wouldn't wake. She had suffered multiple blows to the head and probably had a concussion. Kahlan had stayed by her bed ever since Zedd had told her that. Dahlia, unfortunately, had too. Kahlan had been thinking about the other Mord'Sith lately. She obviously felt for Cara but she couldn't tell how much because she couldn't read her. She still didn't trust her though.

"You don't trust me, do you?" Dahlia asked suddenly.

"I didn't trust you before and it turned out it wasn't even you. So, no, I'm not sure I trust you yet." Kahlan thought she saw a bit of hurt in her eyes at her comment but she ignored it.

"That's true but you should realize that I would never harm Cara," Dahlia spoke with such ferocity that Kahlan struggled to hold her gaze. "You are a danger to her."

Kahlan was taken aback, "Excuse me?"

"You and your confessor powers could kill her. You shouldn't be around her."

Now it was Kahlan's turn to stare down the other woman, "You're the one who cause all this mess. If anyone shouldn't be around her, it's you!"

They both stood up and were preparing to tear each other apart when they heard Cara mumbling.

"I need you," she said quietly.

Kahlan rushed to her side, "Who do you need, Cara?"

She didn't answer. Kahlan kept asking until she was only crying out Cara's name over and over again. Cara had gone back into her lifeless ways and didn't move or speak.

Dahlia glared at Kahlan, "I will be back in a moment." She continued her glare as she left the room.

Kahlan easily forgot about her and went back to focusing on Cara. She stroked her cheek lightly and ran her fingers through her soft hair.

She had a sudden urge and leaned forward to whisper in her ear, "Cara, please come back to me." She pulled back and waited. It seemed like nothing had happened until Cara's eyes fluttered open. She sat up in her bed and looked around in wonder.

Kahlan was overjoyed and leapt onto the bed while embracing Cara in a huge hug. When she released the traumatized blonde, she quickly leaned forward and kissed her soft lips. She realized what she had done and pulled back immediately.

"I'm sorry," Kahlan mumbled.

Cara still looked very confused and was about to ask her what just happened when Dahlia burst into the room. She smiled at Cara and sauntered over to her.

"I'm glad to see you're finally awake."

"Yes, you can see that I am," she responded curtly. "Now, would you two leave me alone so that I can get up?"

Kahlan laughed, "Cara, you can't really think that you can brush off being in a three-day coma like it was nothing. You shouldn't be doing anything for another few days."

"How was I supposed to know how long I've been asleep? You're overreacting anyways. I've had worse injuries before." To prove her point, Cara stood up and raised an eyebrow at Kahlan. "I'm fine," she said but when she began walking, she toppled over sideways.

Kahlan jumped up to help her but Dahlia got there first and warned Kahlan away with her eyes.

Dahlia smirked down at Cara and said, "Cara, you obviously are not fine. You need to rest and I will make sure you do."

Kahlan saw the stubborn expression on Cara's face and bit back a smile. She was so cute sometimes. Somehow, Dahlia managed to coax her back in bed. Cara folded her arms over her chest unhappily, "Can I at least get something to eat?"

Dahlia nodded and rushed off to find her some food. That left Kahlan awkwardly standing in the middle of the room.

Cara eyed her expectantly, "Well, why isn't Richard keeping you in bed like I'm being forced to do?"

That wasn't what she had expected their conversation to be about but she went with it, "Because, unlike you, I can actually walk and I don't have a stubborn Mord'Sith taking care of me."

Cara smirked, "Oh, so you want me to take care of you then?"

Kahlan blushed, "No! I meant Dahlia. So, how are you feeling?"

"Confused," she simply replied.

"I'm sorry about kissing you. I was just relieved that you were awake. Really, it was nothing." Kahlan was also confused but she didn't dare say that the blonde was the reason for it.

At that moment, Dahlia burst in carrying plates of food and she set them all around Cara.

Cara looked terrified, "Dahlia, I can't eat all of this."

"You have been out for three days so you need the make up for lost meals." With that, she began shoveling food into Cara's mouth.

While they were busy, Kahlan tried to slip out of the room as inconspicuously as possible but Cara still noticed.

Hmm their first kiss. A bit of a surprise to them both and to me lol
