We Can Be Happy Underground

Kahlan gasped, taking her first breath of death. Her lungs filled with putrid air, bitter air, hot dust coating her mouth. She felt the dirt on her, sticking to her skin with the heat, the sweat. She felt the other people and their dirt, it filled her nose, the sound of pain filled her ears. She felt them writhing beside her, under her, consuming her. What hurt more was her heart. She was separated, by her own actions from Cara. She had taken Cara out of her life, her death.

Her new dead eyes cleared, focusing in their new form like a baby she had just seen outlines, but as she focused her gaze settled on Cara’s eyes ahead of her, Cara was crawling over bodies, clearly in pain of her own, clearly by how tight she clenched her jaw trying to hide her pain. Kahlan gasped, smiling wider and wider. Cara’s eyes flashed with surprise, and then hurt.

Cara hadn’t expected to see Kahlan here, to follow her. Had Kahlan killed herself to be here with her?

Kahlan stretched out her arms to find Cara’s fingertips, brushing them lightly. She moved herself closer up on her elbows. Cara took her arms in her own, their hands entwined. Kahlan leaned into Cara’s embrace, planting kisses on Cara’s fingers. Kahlan stroked Cara’s head, now kissing the top of Cara’s head.

Cara pulled Kahlan into her with her strong arms, they were now lying side by side, Kahlan kissing Cara all over, trying to kiss away her guilt. Trying to show Cara without words how much she was in love with her, how sorry she was, that she did not mean in her heart to hurt, to confess, to kill Cara.

Cara simply held her, her expression lacking, holding everything in. Her eyes couldn’t lie, she closed them slowly. She let Kahlan kiss her, surrendering into her dots of love.

“I–” Cara stole Kahlan’s words, she didn’t need to hear anything, just feel Kahlan as she kissed her long and soft.

Kahlan shivered from the surprise of Cara’s soft kiss, her breath caught in her throat. Cara moved her head back, to be able to see into Kahlan’s eyes. She looked into her depths, saw the good in Kahlan once more, no trace of the woman who had killed her. She lent in again for a deeper, lip bruising kiss. Kahlan shivered again and responded with equal fervour.

They were unaffected by Kahlan’s magic, her duty as Mother Confessor, her duty to Richard, and they were just them. Nothing more. Almost like their lives were unimportant, irrelevant and they could just be. Peace in one another’s arms forever more.

Dahlia had little time to waste, she didn’t have time to take Cara’s body off where it had been slung over the horse. She didn’t know, but could fathom fromt he other times she’d brought Cara back from death how long she had been dead. She looked like she was beyond the Breath of Life, but that wasn’t going to stop Dahlia.

She pushed away, locked away the fear she felt at not being able to get Cara back. The betrayal she had felt when Cara had taken up travelling with the Seeker, it brought bile into her mouth. Cara betraying what they had, her service to Lord Rahl.

She lifted Cara’s head, only enough for her to be able to place her lips on Cara’s cold, almost swollen lips. She wasn’t going to waste any of her breath, she needed it all to go into Cara. Dahlia breathed into Cara until her chest was empty and ached. She looked at her quizically, nothing. She stroked her face, taking Cara off the horse, and cradling her to her body, trying the Breath of Life again. Cara still flopped in her arms.

One single tear dropped onto Cara’s face, it looked like it came from Cara herself and not from Dahlia. She clenched her jaw, staring sternly across to the body of Kahlan. Another tear followed down Cara’s face and another, Dahlia looked down as she heard an intake of breath, the tears were Cara’s own, looking across to Kahlan’s body in the dirt.

Dahlia was blinded to Cara’s tears as all she saw was Cara was alive again, Cara was back in her arms and she bent down kissing her hard until Cara sobbed into her mouth. Dahlia moved inches away, a smile lighting up her eyes, but Cara didn’t look at her. Cara’s eyes bore into Kahlan’s lifeless body, her own twitched to go to Kahlan, then she came to her senses realizing she was in the arms of Dahlia. A whirl of emotions passed through Cara, all of which she hid from Dahlia. Here she was, alive again in the arms of her former lover, but oh she could see herself going back to Dahlia, but not to that life. Dahlia went to kiss her again, and was met with a headbutt to Dahlia’s nose.

She clutched her nose, in shock not pain, quickly returning the favour with a swift hit from the bottom of the palm of her hand. Dahlia was pissed that Cara hadn’t fallen into her arms, she’d saved her did that not at least mean something? She hated how soft Cara had became, she hated how Cara made her feel right in that moment. The reminder of Cara’s betrayal, that look she was giving the other woman. Dahlia took out her agiel, placing it hard on Cara’s neck until she passed out.

Dahlia tied Cara up, not being able to help herself when she placed a light kiss on her head. Smoothing her hair, and kissing her once more on those tantalizing full lips. She sauntered over to the other woman, figuring who it must be, the Mother Confessor. It hit her how Cara had been looking at the Mother Confessor, the emotion, it was hard for Dahlia to place but she didn’t like it. She wanted Cara to have looked up at her with passion, their love was not weakening, it made them strong, made them more ferocious, it made them better Mord’Sith. They were made stronger through their bond, Cara was so much stronger with them through the bonds of sisters, all fighting together, for one another, for the Lord Rahl.

Cara’s eyes opened, she was tied up, bound hands, bound feet, tight as she was bound to a tree. Her vision slanted, her head hung at an awkward angle. Her eyes moved up lazily, slowly, then flashed open fully, here head pushing itself up fully.

“Don’t you dare touch her or I will–”

“Oh so you’re awake, I think you will like this next bit Cara.” Dahlia cockily shook her head with a small smile. She had the Mother Confessors body tied up to a tree by Cara, she lifted Kahlan’s chin, and let her own mouth brush over Kahlan’s lifeless lips as if kissing her. “What will you do Cara?” Dahlia brushed her finger tips down over the Mother Confessor’s face, around and down her neck. One finger tracing slowly down and around the swell of one of Kahlan’s breasts through the leather. “What will you do when I revive my sisters?” Dahlia let out a low chuckle as Cara’s eyes widened, her breathing quickened.

Dahlia met her lips with Kahlan’s, kissing her, looking into Cara’s eyes. Cara’s eyes burned with love, fury and passion.
