All Chapters of SECRETS: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

~KAHLAN~  “Kahlan!” I heard my name. It was muffled. I took a deep breath, seeing nothing but darkness. “Kahlan, wake up.” I took one deep breath. “Kahlan.” My eyes fluttered to an open. Green eyes stared back at me, surrounded by nothing but a blur of colors. I closed my eyes again. “Kahlan wake up!” “Damon,” I spoke, the voice sounding clearer.“Can you open your eyes?” I tried, but every time they opened, I felt my eyes roll around, feeling heavy, so I would give up and close them back. “Damon,” I repeated. “Kahlan, open your eyes!” The time, the words were screamed at me, and my

~KAHLAN~  When I awoke the next morning, I got in the shower, got dressed and then began to pick up around the house, wanting it to be spotless. It had been awhile since I had the house to myself. I just wanted to get Emett, Terry and Kate out of my mind. They were liars. My life could do without liars. I couldn’t help but to think why they would do that to me? Did they even really want to see me t all, or was it about the money? Emett says it wasn’t. And that’s probably why he returned it… but even still… why can’t anyone just be honest with me. Once they had escaped my mind, I thought about Ryan. I knew what Damon said was true. Ryan was dead, but something happened to me in that bathroom, and the one person who believed me was Justin. Next in line was Carly. I was so upset with her. I thought about calling her numerous times, telling her how I felt about he

~KAHLAN AND AMY~The weekend had ended, and surprisingly, a lot of the stress I was carrying seemed to fall off. My mother and I had made up. Justin and I seemed to be back to being friends… then, again, I had also gained new problems. One, Damon and I weren’t on the best of terms. Two, I had some unresolved issues with the Castles brother. And three, Amy Hancock was hiding something. I have a habit if sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong. That much I know, but at the same time, I felt like these things fell into my lap for a reason. I wasn’t asking for trouble, it just happened. In this case, it was all about a video. A video that I had seen with Amy and Mya speaking about a secret that Brooke was hiding. I had spotted Jason and Amy further up the hall, walking side by side as normal. I had debated if I wanted to pursue this time and time again, but my curiosity was getting the best of me. I heard

~KAHLAN AND JUSTIN~ I stood in the kitchen beside the microwave, waiting for the popcorn to be done. Justin watched my every move from the other room. He was supposed to be finding something good for us to watch. My movie collection wasn’t the best, but that was also the point of cable. He breathed in as he stretched, catching my attention. I looked over at the young man. "Why don’t you just tell me how the dinner went," he started. Could he really tell that was on my mind? "I can see that something about it is bothering you." I blinked. The microwave beeped. I wished I could say that I was saved by the bell, but I wasn’t. No simple beeping, or bell, could get me out of this. In a way, I didn’t want to be. It was always nice to talk to Justin. "It's not like that

~KAHLAN AND JUSTIN~"So have you talked to Damon?" Justin asked me as we still gripped each other’s hand. It felt like a natural thing to do, but I still felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach. "Not face to face," I murmured. "So you don't know why he suddenly changed plans on you?" I shook my head. "I'm sure he has a good reason." Justin was at a loss for words. As a boyfriend you are supposed to be there for the woman you love, no excuses. Somehow Damon couldn’t do that. Justin on the other hand was there every time. It was unfair. He was competing with Damon, and it seemed like no matter what he did, Damon was always in the lead. What was going through Kahlan’s mind, why was she with him?  "Yeah
