Chapter 9: The best option

Kahlan POV

I laid back, naked and very tired. Sonia was just a few feet away from me. I could have continued the fight even though I'm so tired. But that might result in us killing ourselves.

We've already injured ourselves so much. I felt pains at every corner of my body and somehow, my body was taking time to heal.

"You are so lucky, Kahlan," Sonia muttered.

I let out a sigh. "I sincerely don't know who the lucky person is among us but I'm very certain it's not me."

Sonia didn't talk again and I had no idea if she was still breathing. I didn't care anyways.

That aside, I was just too weak to get up. So, I stood in the position that I was. My thoughts wandered around for a moment and slowly settled on my mother.

I missed her so much that I could cry every day. And my father? I loved him so much. I wished we had settled our differences before he died.

Unconsciously, a tear slipped out of my eyes and I didn't blink it away. It was the only thing I could do at this time anyways.
