Birthday Box- LegendLand Ficlet
Cara sat down on her bed and stared at the box. The only noise was the crickets chirping outside and the occasional squeak from her leather when she shifted her body weight. Why did this box scare her so much? Why couldn’t she bring herself to opening it? Instead she sat here huffing at it and throwing in an occasional eye roll.
“Who told Kahlan anyway?” Cara asked aloud to the walls. Somehow Kahlan discovered it was her birthday. Somehow Kahlan also knew that Cara did not want a big fuss over her birthday, but she handed Cara this box before Cara went to her room for the evening. Kahlan walked away quickly before Cara even had time to respond. And now, here she was- agitated over a box. A box. She, Mord’Sith, was scared of a birthday present.
Cara rolled her eyes at herself and began to lift the lid. She could not help herself but smile widely at its contents.
