Pairing: Cara/Denna, implied Cara/Kahlan
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I own naught but the plot and Simon, *sighs*
Summary: As Darken Rahl gets closer, Denna seeks to truly win back Cara, while Kahlan and Simon plot escape.
A/N: I finally finished the update- had a really hard time writing this one. Hope you all like it :) Also a huge thanks to Madame_Denna once again for being such a great beta- it wouldn't be as good without her!
Denna paced the halls of the temple impatiently. She cursed the bad timings. Lord Rahl was coming to collect his future bride and Cara was still resisting her.
Deep down some part of her was hurt by Cara, she had made that woman who she is, and what thanks did she revive? None. She felt her anger rising and let it consume her, driving out all other emotions.
A satisfied smirk spread across her face as she decided what to do.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Mother Confessor!"
Kahlan looked up, squinting in the torchlight, unused to the light after such a long time in her dark damp cell.
She eventually made out Simon standing by the bars of her prison. She nodded her head in acknowledgement- her throat so dry she wished to avoid speaking as much as was possible.
"Mother Confessor I have it, I have a way for you to escape!"
Hope suffused her, her heart started beating louder.
"How Simon?"
"Lord Rahl is coming tomorrow," he paused, a look of concern etched across his features as he noticed her involuntary flinch at the name. She shook her head, urging him to carry on.
He nodded, "When he arrives all the Mord Sith will be outside to greet him along with most of the guard. For that short time there will only be a skeletal crew, we can free you!"
Kahlan saw the merit in the plan, but she could plainly see the flaws.
"And pray tell, how do we leave through the one exit when it will be filled with Mord Sith and soldiers?"
At this a spark lit in Simon's eye. "You forget the other exit Confessor- the waste shute." Kahlan blanched at the thought of sliding out through the excremental of the temple, but steeled herself at the thought of Cara. She had to save her!
She nodded her head at Simon who quickly left. A few steps, took her to the dark recess of the cell where she began working out the sore kinks in her body best she could given the circumstances.
Her cell was tiny- it was a dank room, no natural light ever reached this far down. The walls were jagged stone and the straw floor was the only amenity provided her.
-----------------------------------------------
"Cara."
The tone used when calling her name sent shivers up Cara's spine. Gentle hands caressed her hair as she stood looking out the window, creating a soft illusion that had no place in a Mord Sith temple.
"Why do you resist me still Cara?" Denna pulled her around, forcing Cara to look into hard eyes, set in a stunning face, with the backdrop of a rich yet spartan bedroom.
"You know why!" Denna arched a single, elegant eyebrow, confirming for them both the lie in that statement. Denna would never understand her love for Kahlan, and Cara herself was finding it ever harder to fight Denna.
Bright red lips began whispering words- playing with her heart like a finely tuned instrument.
"Oh I don't think I do Cara. You continue to deny who you truly are. You are Mord Sith, we are your family and no one will ever understand you in the same way. The Confessor has not lived through your pain, she does not know what it is to loose everything, to suffer all the agonies of this world and survive. For that is what we are- survivors, we endured blood and fire and we came out all the stronger for it. Love leads to pain, pain only we can survive. I took you are a timid but determined little girl and made you into a woman. A beautiful, fierce woman who submitted only to me and Lord Rahl. I chose you because you were special, and you would throw away *eveything* , even your sisters, for a woman who is by nature your opposite, your enemy. You should be ashamed, my pet, for you are far less than you could be!"
Denna's face twisted into a snarl of anger as she threw Cara back with all her might, sending her reeling to the floor.
Long legs were placed either side of her body as Denna crouched over her, fisting her hair. Her words came out in a low hiss as anger danced in her eyes.
"And now Cara you have a choice. Embrace your true self and join me as my bonded pet once more and your Confessor will live as a queen. Fight me any more, and after your Confessor provides Lord Rahl his heir, you will watch me torture her to death, and I will take my time!"
Despair filled Cara, she could see the truth in Denna's words. To save Kahlan she must set her free. She would do anything for Kahlan and if seemingly betraying her would save Kahlan's life then that is what she must do.
She looked up at Denna whose anger was slowing being replaced by a leering grin, she signed her fate permanently. She sealed her heart and looked up at her Mistress.
"I am yours Mistress, forever!"
