Chapter 36: Worst?

Kahlan POV

Shock kept me motionless and speechless for a long time. I didn't even know how long I was gone.

It felt like I didn't hear it clearly or maybe I didn't. It wasn't possible, right? I definitely heard it wrong, right?

"It can't be!" I started slowly, my voice sounding, unlike mine.

Mathias shook his head briefly. "I don't know what to tell you, Kahlan but it's all the truth. Eric killed everyone and I saw him do it. I would never lie to you about it," he expressed.

Yes, Mathias would never lie about such things. Even though he had never tried to settle the rift between me and my father, he was never on my bad side.

I collapsed on the bed, my head reeling. I shook my head briefly, unknowingly.

I didn't know when Mathias left. It was some hours later which seemed like minutes when I discovered he wasn't in the room with me.

I was just too confused and baffled. Hot tears stung my face as the words continued to replay in my head.

Did Eric kill my pack? He killed my parents? Pla
