New chapter! Enjoy ;) and I want to thank all of you who read the fifteen other chapter, it means a lot I swear.

As the sun began to rise, Kahlan opened her eyes. The night had been short but she couldn't deny it, it had been relieving. Like Cara told her she had felt the tension fade as the night went on. Kahlan smiled at those thoughts. However, she wondered when would she be able to have a decent sleep. She hoped it would be for tonight.

Kahlan was ready for the day to come. She would face the Council with no worries thanks to Cara. Her smile faded when her hand slipped to the other side of the bed.

Cara wasn't here, and the sheets were cold so it's been a while since she was gone.

"Cara?" Kahlan said, hoping she would be in the room. But she wasn't. Actually it didn't surprised her.

'Of course, she has to work today. How can I expect her to be here? This job was my idea. But still... she could have woken me up.' Kahlan sighed.

She knew soon the door would open and it wouldn't be Cara. Doing this without Cara killed her, however he would touch her only for seconds so it wouldn't be as bad as before. She would just hold Cara's pillow and breathe her scent and it'd be fine.

"Hey beauty, how are you this morning?" Liam asked Cara with a bright smile.

"Don't call me beauty." Cara rolled her eyes.

"But you are."

"I said don't call me that."

"Had a bad night?"

"Bad night? No, it was good sex."

"Good sex is not enough. It kills you to admit you should have come with me last night." Liam almost laughed.

"It was awesome sex. I'm just in a bad mood."

"Why?"

"None. Of. Your. Business!" Cara gave him a cold glance.

"Alright I got it." He said, but his smile was still on his face.

Kahlan was alone with David at this very moment, that's what was bothering the Mord'Sith.

'I should have stayed with her. It doesn't matter if I'm late for those kids.'

"So, do you know them? I mean have you ever seen them fight?" Cara asked.

"No, I don't. I guess you'll see soon enough. But it wouldn't surprise me if some never used a weapon before."

"One thing's for sure, their mother never taught them punctuality." the blonde growled.

"Don't be so harsh with them. Give them a chance, maybe they'll be good students."

"Or maybe not. The only reason why I'm here is because I've been asked to do this."

"No you're here because you agreed." He corrected her.

"The Mother Confessor said I could do it my way."

"I think this was your condition. But she must have promised you something else, because you don't look so happy to be here. So what was it?"

"What is the matter with you today?" Cara almost yelled. "This is none of your business either."

"Why do you get mad for a simple question Cara? I just want to know what she promised you that's all."

"And why would she promise me anything?"

"I know who she is for you. And I know it was her last night." His face was serious for the first time.

"Don't be ridiculous, I would be confessed. What makes you think it was her?"

He didn't have time to answer her question, the students came at that very moment. All Cara could do was to ignore him and make him believe he was wrong. She didn't want to give him the look he was waiting for, she had to stay confident. Anyway he had no proof.

The day had been surprisingly good for Cara, let alone what Liam told her. She liked the training and most of the students too. It was a hard training but no one gave up. However that didn't mean they liked Cara; some were doing their best to humiliate her (they had a long way to go!), some wanted to prove her a woman is always weaker than a man (another long way to go!)... Their reasons why they were fighting hard were different. Cara didn't care what they might be, all she wanted from them was determination.

"Excuse me," a student said shyly to Cara after the lesson "Can we continue the training? I am not good enough. Please."

"That's right, but I've done my part for today. And so do you. You obviously need to rest."

"I can rest later. Darson is always saying I wouldn't scare a little girl."

"And why would it be my problem?"

"Because you're my teacher. And also a great fighter."

"Nice try, but that doesn't work with me. Why wouldn't you train alone?"

"It's better with you."

"Come back when you get more muscles. Then we'll talk about serious training. Strength and endurance, that's what I expect from you."

"Alright. You'll be surprised, I swear."

"Good."

She lied when she agreed with him. He was strong enough to face others, he just didn't trust himself. But he was determinate and Cara liked that.

Liam was waiting for her in the corridor.

"Is it about the Mother Confessor?" Cara rolled her eyes.

"Yes, we need to finish our conversation."

"The girl you saw last night wasn't her. You talked to her, did she look like the Mother Confessor?"

"No, she didn't but I know it was her. I followed you, you know? Obviously you were too busy to notice. I needed compensation and I got it. Quite exciting you two having sex. You're really good looking without your cloths. Too bad you didn't take off hers too." Liam said as he licked his lips.

Cara's fist crashed on his jaw.

"Don't you DARE-"

"But it's ok, I had the occasion to see her intimate parts when you-"

A hand on his throat prevented him from finishing his sentence.

"You son of a bitch, I just want to kill you."

"See, she means more to you than you want to make me believe. You called her Mother Confessor. At first I thought it was a game; the Mother Confessor is the forbidden fruit, you can't have her. But then she said things only the Mother Confessor would say. I've never thought she could be shy; do you remember when she asked you not to undress her? What a sweet look. My imagination started to work and I had sex with her in my head. I agree with you on that point, she's a great partner."

"Do you really want to die?" Cara tightened her fingers on his throat.

"You won't kill me, your lover wouldn't agree."

"What do you want exactly?" the blonde let her arm fall along her body, he was right, she couldn't hurt him.

"Oh come on Cara, you know what I want." Liam said as he stroked her hair.

"Fine. But promise me she'll never know."

"She won't, I promise."

"Good. I have to take some stuff for the night."

"You'll stay the whole night?" He asked with a bright smile.

"I thought you said you knew how to please girls? Was that a lie? The more it lasts, the more I'm pleased."

"Don't worry about the pleasure." He winked at her, which annoyed Cara.

The blonde doubted he was as good as he pretended. At least she was sure he wasn't better than Kahlan.

When they arrived before Kahlan's bedroom, Cara asked Liam to wait here. He wanted to know what was so important for her to bring for the night, but all she answered was she liked games.

"Nice mantle, is it rabbit fur?"

"Who cares?" She opened it with a smile. She wore nothing under it, she was entirely naked. He stared at her for a while, enjoying what he was seeing. "I have other surprises for you."

"I thought you didn't want to do this."

"But I have no choice, so I'm trying to make this more... bearable. And I just realized I didn't have sex with a man for a while. Now just shut up and bring me to your home." she whispered.

"Ok. You're more cooperative than I'd thought."

Once in his house, he brought her straight to his bedroom.

"If you want to have sex with me, then we'll do it my way. Lay on your back."

"Is it always like this? I mean you said you wanted the training to be done in your way, now you want to do this your way too. Do you always decide? Even with the Mother Confessor?"

"What do you mean 'even with the Mother Confessor'? This is the first time I cheat on her, and also the last time. There's no one but the Mother Confessor in my life."

"That does not answer my question."

"It depends. But I'm not going to tell you anything about my sexual life."

"It depends?! So you let her dominate you sometimes? Whoa, I can't believe it. I thought your ego was too big."

"Trust me, when she starts to be dominative, there's nothing else you can do. You should see her when she..." Cara began to say before she realized he was manipulating her. "No you won't see any of this!" she corrected. "Next time you mention her I'll leave. It's hard for me to cheat on her."

Cara took off her mantle and reached the bed.

"So much better without your cloths... you're really beautiful. This is why I couldn't let your ass go."

She kissed him to make him shut up. Then she bit his lower lip.

"I want you to take off your cloths. But take your time."

"What?! But I can't wait to start!"

"I thought I made it clear, I am the one who decides."

"Alright" he sighed.

Few minutes later he was finally naked. She kissed him again, more passionately this time. Her hand slowly stroke his cock and she could feel how much he was reacting to her touch. It seemed like he couldn't breathe nor open his eyes.

"Look at you, this is just the beginning. How are you going to last all night?" She mocked him.

"Let me surprise you." He whispered.

"Do you want my fingers to be replaced by my tongue?" Cara used that irresistible sexy voice.

"Is there any man on this earth who would say no?"

"Before, I want things to be more exciting."

"Do whatever you want sweetheart." He said as he closed his eyes.

The blonde took a rope from her bag. She tightly attached his hands and feet.

"You should have listened until the end of the conversation."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"You may know my secret about Kahlan and I, but I've got another one." Before he could identify that strange screaming sound, he felt pain like no other in his chest.

"Liam I must thank you, you are giving me the chance to feel like a Mord'Sith again."

"Mord'Sith?!" He said as he realized his mistake for the first time.

"I like your home, it's perfectly isolated. You can scream as loud as you want, no one is going to save you."

"If you continue to hurt me I'll tell people who you are. And what if she finds out what you're doing to me?"

"We agreed earlier she won't hear any of it."

"How can she love someone like you? You're a danger for Aydindril."

"You should rather worry about yourself. So tell me, what happened in your head with Kahlan? We're pretty close 'friends' now so you can give me each detail..."

She put her agiel on his belly and started to dress up. It's been a long time she didn't wear her leather outfit. He was screaming as his flesh became red. His veins were now clearly visible.

"Stop it! You crazy bitch! I'll tell them, I swear I'll tell them!"

"No you won't. Don't you know what Mord'Sith do to their preys? They torture both their body and soul. You will become my pet for the rest of your life. Which means you'll live only to serve me. You can already consider yourself dead. Actually it would better for you to be dead, it would be less painful. Well let alone the fact that I can bring you back to life." She added.

She punched his jaw and took her agiel back. The agiel left bruises on his belly. It was so painful that it brought tears to his eyes. Again and again and again she hit him.

"You didn't answer my question. What did you do to her?"

"Why the hell is this important?! We've never done anything in real life."

"I don't know if you're being intelligent or stupid. You know the more I'll hear the more I'll beat you. But you should have thought about this before you opened your mouth the very first time."

"You're mad because I told you I've seen her intimate parts. How many men can say the same thing, except her mate?"

"Don't think that makes you special, there is someone else." Cara said as she remembered Richard. "And that doesn't matter! Let's forget about your imagination. From now on you will call me Mistress, is that clear?"

"In your dreams, bitch."

"Exactly what I wanted to hear." she said with a sadistic smile before she put her agiel on his temple. The next hour was probably the longest Liam ever lived. He was on the edge of unconsciousness, but Cara kept him awake. He cried so loud that his vocal cords were on fire.

"Too bad I have to leave you, we would have spent a great night together I think. But you see, I have a lovely girlfriend waiting for me."

"So you'll just go back to her as if nothing happened? Pretend you've had a normal day."

"It used to be a normal day to me."

"You're a monster."

"Oh sweetheart this is harsh, I think I've been pretty gentle with you tonight. There would be more blood on the floor otherwise. A lot of things are coming tomorrow." Cara winked at him as she untied him. "No, you can stop hoping, you're not free to go." she added.

He was too hurt to do anything. He could hardly stand on his feet actually. However she managed to make him stand up. She attached the rope to the ceiling beam and hanged him by the fists. His feet didn't touch the ground unless he gets on his tiptoe.

"I think you're not going to sleep tonight, but be sure to keep some strength for tomorrow. Oh come on, don't look at me like that sweetheart, you'll love me again in few days."

Cara kissed his cheek and started to undress herself. She had brought her everyday cloths too and it was time now to wear those.

"Cara?"

'Shit!' the Mord'Sith said to herself as she got caught. She thought Kahlan would be sleeping at that time of the night. Actually she didn't planned to stay with Liam so late. The time just passed so quickly to her.

"Where the hell were you?" Kahlan said with a sleepy voice.

"I'm sorry I was-"

"Is that blood on your face? What happened?"

"Don't worry it's not mine."

"Please don't tell it belongs to a student."

'A student? Nice! Thank you Kahlan.'

"I'm not teaching them how to dance Kahlan. If they want to get stronger, this is the only way."

"If you say so. However the sun is going to rise in few hours, what took you so long?"

Cara climb onto the bed and started to stroke Kahlan's head gently so that she could fall asleep soon. But as good as it feels, Kahlan was not stupid, she knew Cara was trying to avoid the conversation.

"I must admit, it was a good idea. You made me realize how much I've missed it." Cara whispered. She was exaggerating, but it wasn't entirely false. "There's a student who's interesting."

"Interesting how? Should I be worried?"

"What?! No of course not! He likes fighting and he would do anything to get stronger. He's not interesting in the same way. By the way he's just a child and the youngest man I've fucked was 28."

"I don't like it when we talk about that..." Kahlan sighed. "You spent most of the night with your student, that's not fair."

"See how it feels to share?"

"Once again, that's not fair. I don't have the choice, but you do. So, you will have to do something for me, and then I will forgive you."

"Everything you want, Confessor."

"Stay with me tomorrow. I've missed you earlier. Would you make your students wait for me, please?" Kahlan whispered seductively.

"You can be so persuasive Kahlan. Maybe I'm confessed after all. Can I have a kiss before sleeping?"

"This is your lucky day, you will have two."

"If this is my lucky day then can I have an orgasm before sleeping?" Cara said with puppy eyes.

"Nope, you're too late."

"At least I tried." the blonde sighed. "So give me my kisses now." One kiss soon turned in two kisses, then three, then four. Cara saw an opportunity and put herself onto her. "I got you!" Cara smiled and bit her earlobe gently.

"Get down, you perverse! We are just kissing, nothing more." The brunette giggled because Cara's tongue was now tickling her neck. "Stop it! I want to sleep now. Keep your energy for tomorrow morning, I expect a lot from you." Kahlan winked at the blonde. "Now get down, Mord'Sith."

"Liar! I love it when you ask me to stop while your body asks me not to. If you really wanted me to stop then your legs wouldn't be wide open like they are. I know you Kahlan Amnell."

"No Cara I really want to sleep now. I'm tired."

"Looks like I'm confessed once again..." Cara sighed. "Stop using your magic on me, please."

"You've got your own kind of magic Cara, and you're using it too at this very moment."

"I knew it! You're more excited now than this morning with your mate!"

"Like I just said, you've got your own kind of magic. That's why I want you to be here tomorrow."

"How was it today with him?"

"Well I'd say pretty awful."

"Why? What did he do?" Cara was now holding the brunette possessively. The Mother Confessor could hardly breathe but still it felt good to be hers.

"He did what he was supposed to do."

"Yes, but what I want to know is if he touched you more than necessary."

"He didn't. He's afraid of you; he knows he can't do anything against you since I love you. He's jealous but he accepted the situation. However he doesn't want to sleep with another woman."

"So he's watching you when he-"

"Cara, please! It's fine as long as he doesn't do anything else."

"It's fine for you." Cara growled. "I hate your David."

"Your jealousy isn't justified Cara."

Kahlan gave her one last kiss and fall asleep in Cara's arms. But no matter how hard Cara tried to sleep that night she didn't succeed, she was thinking about Liam and what he told her. What if Kahlan discovered what she was doing? The Mord'Sith didn't think about that before. It bothered her to hide something from Kahlan. And it was a pretty big secret. She couldn't go back now, she has gone too far. But she couldn't tell her, she would have to do her job or run away with her. Being the reason why Kahlan should run away was the last thing Cara wanted.

'What a complicated situation! It's true I like the training sessions but I wish I had more time to take care of this bastard. The less time I have to train him, the more time I will need to make him my pet. This is my fault, why the hell did I make love to her in the street? I can't believe how stupid I've been.'

As the blonde promised, she was here the next morning to shout on David. However, despite Kahlan's attempts to turn Cara on, the Mord'Sith was definitely in no mood.

Then she quickly went to Liam's house to 'check' on him. But as much as she enjoyed torturing him, she had to go back to the Palace to do another kind of training.

"Do you know where's Liam?" Josh asked Cara once she arrived.

"He told me he wouldn't come today. I think it's because of a girl, he said she was the kind of girl you want to appreciate as much as you can."

"I can't say it's surprising me."

"Doesn't matter, I don't need him."

As the training session went on, Cara looked closely at the boy who asked for more. He was surely not one of the best, but Cara could tell he would learn quickly. She didn't realize it but she was often on his back to tell him what was wrong, even if she wasn't supposed to focus on one student.

Most of them were not supple enough, so Cara had to work on this.

"You should stretch your muscles regularly and it'll be fine. Sex is a good way to do so."

"Then maybe you could help us on that point. You're our teacher after all." Someone said.

"Too bad, I'm not interested in men. In women neither, just my girlfriend." Cara said without any shame. "Now if you don't have any other bullshit to say, we should get back to work."

"Liam wouldn't like to hear that you know." Josh whispered to Cara.

"And why should I care? He loves girls, not me. He can find others."

"You're right. I truly hope one day he will find the one for him."

"Why is this so important for you?" the blonde asked, intrigued.

"It's hard to find girls when he's near."

"Oh creator you're all the same!" Cara slapped her forehead.

She didn't pay attention to him for the rest of the day

"Ok, we're done for today. Next week we will start to fights with swords."

"Why would they need swords? They're wizards." Josh laughed.

"Look, they're learning all this in case they would be without their magical powers, and a sword helps a lot."

"Ok. It's true you're a good teacher, I would have never thought of this detail."

"That is not a detail actually." Cara said as she leaved. Josh was as annoying as Liam. Speaking of the devil, she had to go to his place again.

"So, how are you my pet?"

"Mistress please, I swear I won't tell anyone. I will leave Aydindril and we won't meet again. Please, I can't take it anymore." He started to cry. He had spent the whole hanged by the fists so his arms were probably broken by now.

"You want to leave me already my pet?" she said with a sadistic tone. "You no longer want to have me?"

"No, I swear mistress. I will be satisfied with other girls."

"Liam, Liam, Liam..." she sighed. "This is such a wrong answer. A good pet only wants his Mistress." Cara whispered and then punched his jaw. "Now tell me you want your Mistress."

"I thought you didn't want to have sex with me Mistress."

"First, I am not asking you to think and second I am just asking you to want me."

"I can't believe it..." said a voice behind her back.

Cara turned back quickly to see who had said that. Actually she knew before she saw her, but she needed to be sure.

"You lied to me last night." The Confessor continued. "And this morning you were too busy thinking of him to make love to me, is that it?"

"Kahlan let me explain."

"I don't want to hear another lie from you. You just said you want him to want you, I think it's pretty clear."

"You don't understand this is part of the training. I have to-"

"Sleep with him, yeah I know. Richard told me what happened with Denna."

"What?! No! I wouldn't have done that you know it."

"Actually I'm not sure I know anything right now. I really thought you'd changed but it seems I was wrong."

"I did change Kahlan, you know it. It's just I didn't know what to do, I was scared."

"Scared? Scared of what?"

"He followed us that night."

"What?! You're doing this just because he saw us? Creator you're crazy."

"You don't get it Kahlan, he heard us, he knows everything about us. He knows the Mother Confessor is going out with a Mord'Sith. He wanted to blackmail me, what was I supposed to do?"

"You could have come to see me and tell me everything."

"I didn't want you to be concerned. If I got caught I would have been executed but you would have nothing to do with it, and the secret would be kept."

Kahlan slapped the blonde's face. "Will you ever stop to be selfish? First, I'm concerned from the start and second I don't want you to be executed. And how do you think the Council will react when they'll learn I can't confess you?"

"Then I would have killed myself. Kahlan I'm doing this to protect you."

"If you really want to protect me then protect me from your loss." her voice broke and a tear made its way on Kahlan's cheek, but she quickly pulled herself together.

"By the way, I don't need your protection." She crossed the room and confessed Liam to put an end to the 'training'. Then she freed him from his bounds. "He will have to rest for weeks."

"Thank you Mistress." Liam said to Kahlan.

"Cara, you'll take care of him tonight."

"I won't do that! I've warned him to leave me alone, he didn't listen to me and he paid the price."

"You should have thought of the consequences before doing this." The brunette said, trying not to shout.

"You have no right to be mad at me for this. What would have you done if he'd come to see you? You would have confessed him exactly like you just did, and this is my way to confess him."

"I would have told you. And I would have given what he wanted."

"You can't seriously think that! You know exactly what he expected from me. Who's being selfish now? And what makes you think he wouldn't have asked other things later? I don't trust that bastard. Kahlan you know I didn't want any of this to happen. I would have never done that if there was another way."

"The smile on your face didn't say the same thing."

"Mord'Sith have to be persuasive."

"Can you just imagine for a second what would have happened if my sister had found you?"

"She didn't. Beside, why did you follow me?"

"I waited for you to finish your training to tell you something important, but you left the Palace quickly."

"What's important?"

"I thought you liked secrets?"

"You can keep it for you, I don't care. I'm not sorry for what I did Kahlan, he tried to take you away from me and I just couldn't accept that." She was about to leave the house but she froze when Kahlan told her the reason why she followed her.

"I'm getting married in one week."

Haha I'm sooo sadistic, but I love when things go wrong in stories (and then get back to normal of course!). Don't forget to leave a comment if you have time ;)
