Chapter 9
(The capture)
Kahlan and Richard had left a while ago to go into the nearest town, Andrea, and get some flask for water and whatever else it is that we need. Zedd was setting on a log, reading some kind of magical book.
I let out a small hiss when I felt a Agiel hit my neck hard, Me and my mother were fighting since Mord-Sith don't spare. You know getting poked with an Agiel and getting waked on the neck with one are two totally different things. I fell back when my legs suddenly flew out from underneath me.
"Xena I thought to expect more from you," my mother said quoting me from when I first found them as she pinned me down with her boot.
"Very funny," I said slamming my Agiel in to the back of her knee removing it from my chest.
"You know it's not fun to fight when the person you're fighting has got their head in the clouds," she said as I jumped up from the ground landing perfectly on my feet. I got behind her while she was gloating.
"Well then tell me Mother if I'm the one with my head in the clouds then how was I able to get behind you," I asked shoving my Agiel in to her back and placing a knife at the side of her neck.
"Ha-ha yes and if you keep it up Xena and I'll put your head in to the cloud's permanently," she said as I press the knife and Agiel harder against her.
"Well doesn't every parent want their kid to be better at something than they are," I said hearing the smirk in my voice. I don't beat my Mother often, out of the many time's that we have fought I have probably won maybe all of two time's.
"Yes but if you don't stop pressing that knife in to my neck Xena you're not going to get the chance to," my mother snapped back. Ha you know I really did have my Mother's gift in making people mad.
"O come on now you couldn't kill me," I said in the sweetest voice I could make me sound like I was 5 year old again.
"Xena I brought you in to this world and I can take you out. Know move," she said her voice getting low. It always amazed me how much I could irritate my Mother without trying.
"Ha, fine," I said moving the knife from her neck and me Agiel away from back as took a few steps back. I turned my head watching Zedd walking towards us with a wide grin on his old face.
"Well now what could a Mord-Sith be laughing about," the old Wizard said stopping a few steps in front of us.
"I beat my Mother," I said I could feel the smirk on my face. Causing me to receive a glare from my Mother that clearly meant to shut up. Both of us absolutely hated it when we lost but when one of us won we would always rub it in to each other; it's so much fun to do that.
"Well it's about time someone beat your Mother beside Richard," he said looking at my Mother.
"Shut up old Man before I have to shut you up," my mother said putting her Agiel's away into her belt.
"XENA," I heard Kahlan yelled as me, Zedd and my Mother turned our head's to see her and Richard running towards us with some guy trailing behind.
"XENA," Kahlan yelled again as her, Richard and some dark headed guy stopped in front of us. I blinked at her wondering what in the world was wrong. At least she knew my name I guess, hmm not sure if that's a good thing.
"Kahlan in case you don't know this I'm a Mord-Sith not death," I said rubbing my ear's to make my point. Not many Mord-Sith joke around with people we were usually a lot more serious but if you ever got to know one really good they would really give you a hard time or at least I would.
Looking at her face more carefully I could tell that something was really bothering her because, unlike a Mord-Sith the Mother Confessor would were her emotions on her face as clear as a book. I wonder what in the world could be bothering her so much.
"Cara could you please make Xena be series just once," Kahlan said pleading with my Mother and interrupting my train of thought.
"Hmm, no what fun is there in being series, besides it's not like she would listen anyway," my mother said adjusting her Agiel's in her belt. "What's wrong," she said looking up.
Now that she mentioned it Kahlan was not the only one who looked really worried. Richard did to and the guy behind look petrified, but form what I did not know.
"Chase it's nice to see you again," Zedd said as he walked up to the man that must be Chase and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Richard these are Mord-Sith. What in the world are you doing with them," Chase asked looking from my Mother to me with a disgusted look on his face. So nice!
"Yes we are now why don't you point out something else that's painfully obvious. O and is there a problem with that," I said stretching my neck to look up at him and putting my hand on my hip. This Chase guy is really starting to piss me off.
"Xena," Richard said giving me a look that meant to stay quiet.
"Richard how are they supposed to help us their Mord-Sith how could you possibility trust them," he said again.
At I pulled out my Agiel causing my Mother to put her hand on my arm restraining me. This man just didn't know when to stop, that or he must think it fun to piss of a Mord-Sith.
"Chase you can trust them, and this is Xena she's my niece. I told you about her power's back in the town, and this is Cara she Xena's Mom," he said looking at me and my mother and then at Chase.
"Niece," Chase asked in obvious disbelief.
"Excuse me but would someone care to tell us just what is going on," my mother said moving her hand from my arm. Richard raised an eyebrow when he saw me holding my Agiel so tightly but he must have assumed it was because of my powers and chose not to say anything which is good, because if he knew the real reason for me pulling out my Agiel he would get really mad at me. That reason being that I would really like to hurt this Chase guy right know. See I don't think he would like this thought.
"People have been disappearing around here, my daughter and Kahlan's sister are among them," Chase said give us that same look.
"Xena do you think you can find them," Richard asked looking at me.
"Yes but I need to see the place where they disappeared so I can," I said looking around not letting my anger slip into my voice.
"Chase how far is it?" Richard said.
"It's not far. Get your horse I'll take you there," he said moving to get on top of Richard's horse.
"Richard," Chase said asking if it was ok to take his horse.
"I'll ride with Kahlan," Richard said getting on the horse with Kahlan rapping his arms around her waist. I bet Lord Rahl is enjoying himself right know.
"Xena," my Mother said walking to stand beside me.
"Yes," I said moving to walk over to our horse with her.
"Are you ok with your powers? You know who this could be," she said looking at me.
"Yes I do, but it seems important to Lord Rahl so I'm going to help," I said climbing on my horse.
"I know what you mean Xena but that's not what I meant and you know it," She said as we raced on our horse through the trees following Richard and everyone else.
"I do," was my only answer to my Mother's statement. I didn't really feel like talking right know and my Mother must have pick up on that since she let the conversation so easily and left me to my on thought's for the time.
A few minutes later.
We hadn't been riding long when we came to a stop; we were deep in the forests near some Mountain that I could not remember the name of.
"They disappeared over there some were," Chase said pointing to tall trees that looked like someone had been using it for target practice from the mark's on it but I could not figure out what kind of weapons could do that. The marks were long and dark, they were also jagged.
"How do you know that," my mother asked glaring at Chase and pulled me from my thoughts.
"Cara," Richard said warning my Mother to stay calm and to keep her mouth shut.
"It's ok. My son said that was the last place he were saw them talking to some man with your color of hair and a blonde lady," he said looking at me.
"Whatever," I said walking up and placing my hand on the tree choosing to ignore the conversation Richard was having with my Mother at the moment. I know I've seen marks like this before but I could not remember were. I let a hiss out of my mouth as I felt the magic but all that I could see was a swirling golden light. Know I remember these same marks were on that tree that had made me pass out but the magic is not as strong this time.
"Xena what is it," Richard said stopping the conversation he was having with my Mother and causing Zedd, Kahlan, and Chase to turn their attention form whatever it was that they were doing.
"I don't know but I just feel something-" I said not bothering to finish my sentence as I took off towards whatever it was. With the other's trialing behind me trying to keep up with me.
It wasn't long till I was standing in a clearing and there where all the kid's tied to tree nearby. Looking around I noticed that all the trees have the same strange marks on them.
"Emma," I heard what I assumed to be Chase say from behind me.
"Kahlan help Chase untie them and Zedd make sure there ok-" Richard had started but I interrupted him.
"There fine but were not," I said looking around with my Agiel out. There was something here but I just could not figure out were; the pull form the power was coming from everywhere.
"Xena what's wrong," my mother said walking up to me but before she got any closer someone jumped from a tree and knocked me down. Then I felt the cold metal of a dagger sink in to my chest. Whoever this was they just made the biggest mistake of their life.
"XENA," I heard my mother and Richard scream mostly from shock.
"Bad move lady," I said shoving my Agiel in her chest and pushing her off of me. Whoever this was they we're definitely set on killing me. Because, as soon as I jumped up on my feet she got her hand wrapped tight around my neck. O no she a Confessor. My Mother was running towards me with Richard and Kahlan behind her but they could not get here before she released her powers.
"I'm going to kill you. You little Monster," the blonde lady said looking at me as she released her power's but instead of it taking over me I felt something break in my mind and then I felt massive amounts of power flood through me and it was my power killing the Confessor's poison magic and sending it back at her.
"XENA," I heard my Mother scream as her and the others got closer but before they could my powers exploded out sending the Confessor, who looked kind of like Kahlan, in to a tree and sending my Mother flying backwards into Richard. Kahlan, Zedd, and Chase and everyone else just fell since they were not as close. I flew back but someone caught me.
"Why hello there my daughter. My you do look like you Mother don't you," I heard a voice say from behind me. Denna walked in front of me saying "I told you tha-" but she didn't get to finish her sentence because my boot hit her face sending her backwards.
"Shut up tramp," I said glaring at her and trying to get up but I was no use.
"Now, now Xena there is no need for that kind of language," Darken Rahl said looking at something I could not see.
"Darken Rahl let her go," Richard said as he pulled Cara up from the ground and by the look on their face you could tell that both were beyond angry.
"Get away from her," my mother said walking up to us.
"Know Cara can you image how I feel not knowing about our daughter for such a long time," he said looking at me with a fake caring look on his face.
"Let her go," Richard said walking up to stand by Cara with his sword out.
"Now I don't think so Richard she's hurt I'll help her," He said pulling the knife out of my chest making blood poor all over me. Good thing my leather is the same color as blood or it would look a lot worse.
"Xena," my Mother said looking at me.
"I'm fine," I mutter as everything went black.
Cara's P.O.V
'Let her go," I said thought my teeth. I hate this man, I'm would like to kill him myself but he has Xena and I can't right now and I'm not going to take the chance of hurting her.
"O now I don't think so I want to get to know Xena, since you never told me she was my daughter," he said looking up at me. I kept my eyes on Xena she was losing so much blood and the bad thing was that there was not anything that I could do.
"Come on Denna she didn't kick you that hard," the Monster said standing up holding her. When Denna stood I could see just how hard Xena had kicked her, because, the side of Denna's face was tinted purple and black.
"NO," I said walking towards them.
"Now Cara you would not want her to die would you," he said putting a knife to her throat.
"Cara," Richard said grapping my arms.
"By and I'll make sure to take good care of our daughter," he said as they dispread in a puff of smoke.
"XENA," I said struggling in Richards grip. Then my eyes caught on Deenee the one who made it possible for them to get my Daughter. I jerked away from Richard and strong towards Deenee. When I got there I jerked her up by her neck and shoved my Agiel in to the said of her ribs.
"I'm not going to kill you quickly like last time. Why did you help that Monster get my Daughter?" I said placing the Agiel on her head no giving her time to talk.
"CARA stop it," Richard said walking up behind me. But I just kept on going.
"CARA," he said grabbing me from behind. His arm's acting like chains so I could not move.
"Richard she tried to kill my daughter and helped Darken Rahl," I said trying to get free but it was no use.
"I know now just clam down you kill her is not going to help Xena she could know where they are," Richard said
"Let me go," I said glaring at him.
"Cara you will not let you hurt my sister," Kahlan said standing in front of that woman.
"Really what about what she did to my daughter," I said pulling free from Richard's grip.
"Kahlan we need to know what Darken Rahl wants and were they are," Richard said moving Kahlan. I was holding my Agiel hard enough to break them.
"Where's my daughter," I said looking at her.
"Answer her," Richard said when she didn't say anything.
"Well this dark hard lady said that some dark haired Mord- Sith," she said pushing my anger further.
"And," I said when she stopped.
"Well they said that Monster-"
"My Daughter is not a MONSTER," I said interrupting her and moving towards her but Richard grabbed me again.
"CARA," He yelled at me.
