All Chapters of SECRETS: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

~KAHLAN, CARLY AND KATE~  Kate stayed out of view from Carly, but still followed behind her, waiting for her to lead her to Kahlan; her daughter. And eventually she did. She saw Carly talking to a young girl in a cheerleading uniform. She had her hair up in a high ponytail, and white bangs lay in front of her left eye. Kate's mouth dropped. Her daughter had grown and she was beautiful. "Hey there," I said to Carly when she came up behind me. She gave a smile, staring around at their fellow peers. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Their football team has won previous games, but something about this one was different. Something about this entire night was different. “What took you so long?”  "Dad made me meet his girlfriend," she b

~KAHLAN~I lay in bed, going over everything Damon had just told me in the car. First off, my mother was alive and well and in Florida. Second, Damon had lied to me. It now made sense why he believed I broke things off with him because of my mother. Why does everyone I love lie to me? When Damon dropped me off, the last thing he said was “I’m sorry”. I never responded. I jumped out of the car and ran into my house. He of course followed me, but there was no way in hell I was going to let him in. Now what? What was my next move? I knew Kate Mercer was alive, but where did she go? Is she shacked up in some old broken down hotel? Is she staying with a friend? And how was I going to find her? ~CARLY AND KATE~Carly quietly crept into her house. She didn’t want to wake anyone up, and she didn’t want her father to know that she came home three long hours after her 12:00 am curfew. She was about to head upstairs, when she spotted the kitchen light on. She made her way down the hallway, and

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~Carly repeatedly knocked on Kahlan’s door. It's days like this that she wished she still had a key to Kahlan’s home. By the time she answered Carly’s knuckles hurt slightly from all the pounding.  “Carly, what do you want?” Kahlan swung the door open with such force. The young woman was wrapped in a towel and dripping wet. Carly must have disturbed her swimming. “Oh, don’t be a grouch,” Carly replied, taking in the redness of her friend's eyes. Could that be from the chlorine, could she not have gotten a good night's rest, or had she been crying? “I need to talk to you.” Carly stares waiting for Kahlan to let her in. Kahlan took a deep breath. “Car

~JUSTIN AND KAHLAN~ I woke up to the sound of running water from above my head. It was really hard for me to open my eyes, they stung and felt so heavy, but somehow I did. I looked to the right and saw that the sun was about gone, and the moon would soon be up in the sky. I knew I didn’t lie down by myself, but I sure did wake up alone. The living room light was dimmed and the other surrounding areas were in darkness. I could only make out the outline of furniture and objects. I climbed to my feet and stretched. “Justin?” I said softly, feeling a bit scared to leave the light, but I did. I made my way upstairs, following the water sounds. I entered the bathroom in my bedroom, where I saw Justin dipping his hands into a halfway full tub, with plenty of bubbles and red Candles that I never use. They were a gift from Angie. It was one of the last things she had gotten me. “Justin?” His head quickly turned to face me. “You’re up.” he said, climbing to his feet, flashing a slight smile.

~KAHLAN AND DAMON~“How long have they been out there?” Carly asked Justin as they watched through the kitchen window. Damon and Kahlan appeared to be in a very heated conversation. Carly had to sneak out of her house just to be there for Kahlan. Her father was pissed at her, but had no time to give her a good talking to, or ground her because he was too worried about his new girlfriend. “Not that long,” Justin murmured. Carly could see worry on Justin’s face. She just wasn’t sure what he was worried about. Was he worried about Kahlan and what she might do because she was so angry? Was he worried about Kahlan because of what Damon might do because he was so persistent? Or was he worried that their heated argument would somehow show the lust they still had for each other? “He said he w
