Yo!

I am so into this fanfic, I can't seem to put my mind off of it. I'd just used up my sleeping time to type another chapter. I want it to be perfect, so if you have any ideas, feel free to review or pm me.

CloudGazer15- Thanks! I appreciate you review!

Katvrah-I'm sorry, but I had a change of plans. Hope you like it though!

Enjoy!

This can't be happening! I can't possibly like the Mother Confessor? Wait, wait, wait… Did I say like? Oh, this is crap. Richard will kill me if I steal his love away from him. Cara was lost in her thought. She didn't even realize that she has dropped her agiels on the ground. Kahlan smiled when she saw this. Cara had never been careless, not even once since she knew her. How could she drop something that she was so proud of and not notice it? Nudging Zedd, she grinned at him and pointed to the deadly weapon.

"Cara?" she called out to the person who was in front of her.

No answer…

"Cara!" she shouted.

The Mord-Sith turned in confusion, tilting her head slightly. "Don't you feel different?" Zedd joked. At first, Cara was confused at what they were getting at. However, her hands landed at the place where she put her agiels . Her eyebrows furrowed up as she looked around, desperately trying to locate her weapons. "Where have you hid them?" she demanded. Zedd smirked when Kahlan picked up the deadly agiels and handed them to her, despite the pain of holding it.

"You're never careless, Cara. What happened to you?" she asked gently, too gentle that it wasn't normal. Kahlan had realized too that she had been gentle and caring towards the Mord-Sith whom she once hated to the core. However, she knew that her love for Richard could cover up the feelings she felt for the blonde.

Zedd eyed them both as they exchanged silent thoughts.There is something about them that none of us knew, not even them themselves, Zedd thought. However, he kept his silence. He wanted to see for how long these two women would hide their feelings. He knew that they have a budding romance for each other, but were too frightened to admit it, even to themselves. He saw sparks in their eyes each time they looked at each other. He knew that the kind of protection Cara gave Kahlan was different than the protection she gave the rest of the clan.

Zedd smiled at his own thoughts. Cara shot him a weird look. "Something wrong with you, wizard?" she laughed. Kahlan giggled slightly. "Um, I was thinking of what Shota told me," he lied, "She said that the new seeker would be a skilled blacksmith. He cares for life around him."

At that moment, pain started filling Kahlan's heart again. This time, Cara tried her best not to stand up for her. For once, she stopped herself from trying to care from someone whom she clearly have feelings with. "This may be difficult for you to accept, Kahlan. But we have to find him," he sighed.

It has been weeks since Richard left, and Cara felt happier that way. When Richard kissed Kahlan, she felt somewhat jealous. There was a pain in her chest when she saw them exchanging glances. Little did she know that the feelings she felt was the same feelings Kahlan had for her. Too bad they were both too scared to admit it.

"I need to take a bath. Let's stop by that river," Kahlan suggested. "We shall camp here for the night. We can head for Aydindril tomorrow," Zedd said. He set off to find firewood. Kahlan ignored Cara, knowing that she would keep watch. Cara kept a safe distance from her, holding her agiels tight as if she was going to kill anything that would threaten Kahlan's life.

Why am I afraid to lose her even though she is not mine? she asked herself. She felt over-protective of Kahlan. But she thought that Kahlan loves Richard dearly. There was no way she was going to be with her.

Kahlan removed her white dress and tossed them aside. Darting her eyes around to make sure no one was looking, she slipped herself into the cold water.

Meanwhile, Cara was still deep in her thoughts. Why am I feeling this way towards her? Why did I feel sad when Kahlan did? I can't love her! Richard will kill me if he finds out! Chill, Cara. You just treat her as a friend. Before this, you've never had a true friend. You just cherish her as a true pal. Yes, that's who she is to you. A true pal…

Contented with what she thinks, Cara turned around to walk off, not remembering that Kahlan was in the river, and that she was on the watch. She held her breath when she saw the breath-taking creature of the Creator in front of her. Kahlan had her back facing Cara. Whipping her wet hair, Kahlan washed her face with the cold water. Cara hung her jaw open. The pale skin of Kahlan's skin shone against the light. Her black hair sparkled in the sun. Bless the Spirits! Not even Triana nor any of the Sisters of the Agiels can turn me on like this…

"What are you doing?" Zedd asked from behind. Cara turned around in shock. Her cheeks were pink with embarrassment. "Er, I… I… I was picking up my agiels. I… dropped them on the ground," she stuttered. Cara hurried and ran away, hiding her face. Zedd raised an eyebrow. She was obviously peeping at Kahlan… he muttered so softly only ants could hear.

"Zedd, we have a horse thief here!" Cara's voice was heard. Zedd ran towards her while Kahlan hurried to dry herself. Cara was holding a man by his neck against a tree. Although he tried to shake away freely, the Mord-Sith was too strong for him. "What's going on here?" Zedd asked. "I found him trying to steal our horses," Cara spat. The man had short dark hair. He was wearing a leather vest and long brown pants. His jaw was shaven and he looked a little scared of Cara. "I wasn't trying to steal your horses! I notice one of them had splinter. If you don't remove it, it'll go lame," he admitted. Zed shot a smug at Cara when Kahlan told her that he was telling the truth. "Be careful when you're here. I'm a crazy person who loves to kill people.

"Well, I'm a skilled blacksmith. Do you need help with anything?" he asked. Zedd shot his eyebrows. "Bless the Creator! This is the Seeker we have been looking for!" he claimed. The man didn't seem to be shocked. "My parents once told me that I would be the Seeker of Truth one day," he said. Zedd and Kahlan were smiling in happiness while Cara walked away.

"Cara, where are you-" Kahlan did not finish her sentence. She tripped over a rock when she tried to follow Cara. The moment Cara turned around and saw her falling, she grabbed her waist. Kahlan ended up in Cara's arms. "Why are you so careless? Do you know that I can't see you hurt?" Cara screamed, tears already rolling down her cheeks. That was the second time she cried since she became a Mord-Sith.

Both were staring at each other's eyes. Cara's green eyes were shooting off sparks in the blue eyes that were in front of her. Zedd stared at the two girls who were obviously in love but was too scared to admit it. Kahlan was about to kiss Cara when Cara cleared her throat and pulled her up.

"I want to hunt," she lied and stormed off, leaving Kahlan alone with Zedd and the new Seeker. I knew they were in love! Zedd silently screamed in his mind. "My name is Leo," the new Seeker tried to tell Zedd to distract him. Kahlan felt hurt. She loved Richard, but at the same time, she was falling in love with Cara. The Cara who killed her sister. The Cara who was once broken. The Cara who was in love with her too. But she didn't know that. She was still afraid to love another person. Why did she reject me? She asked that a million times.

What was I doing? That was the Mother Confessor! One single touch can torment me forever until I die! Why, Cara? Why did you fall in love with her? Why must you feel tenderness when you held Kahlan in your arms earlier? Why? Why? Why! Why must you love her and not anyone else? Cara cried as she ran to a place where others could not find her. She really wanted to kiss Kahlan earlier, but she knew it was wrong. She might get confess just by kissing the confessor!

Night came very fast. Soon, Cara walked back to their camp site. However, it started raining heavily. She had no choice but to take shelter at the nearest cave. To her horror, Leo was there first. He smirked at her, obviously telling her that he liked her. "I'm Leo," he introduced himself. "Back off, I don't have the mood to strangle you right now," Cara scowled. "Well, we could try to get to know each other better," he suggested. I'm gonna kill him!

Cara turned around to sting him with her agiels, but behind him, she could see Kahlan, staring at her with worried eyes. Cara grabbed Leo and kissed him. She deepened the kiss, although she did not like the darting tongue that was suffocating her throat. When she thought it was long enough, Cara opened her eyes, only to see Kahlan gone. "You like me, don't you?" Leo teased her. "SHUT THE HELL UP BEFORE I REALLY STICK THIS AGIEL INTO YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, ASSHOLE!" she screamed and stormed off.

I hope this chapter feeds your appetite. I spent a lot of time on it. I'll make Cara and Kahlan wait a while before they could confess their feelings. Please review and tell me what you think.

Cheers!
