Chapter 144
The Keepers spoke to us after that. They didn’t like it that we were talking in our native language. Rose apologized and |followed her lead.
We spent the rest of the afternoon with Rose teaching me about the games the men like to play in the evenings. She said hermen thought it was fun sometimes to let her play with them. If | got good my owners might Let me play with them, too. That gaveme plenty of incentive to pay attention.
Late in the afternoon Rose’s owners came home. They took us to the bathhouse and then fed us. They didn’t say anything aboutwhat had happened this morning. The men acted just like they always did.
As | lay in bed Later that night, | thought about my owners. | wondered how much longer they would be gone. Hopefully thewomen wouldn't hurt or keep them this time.
When sleep finally took me | was worrying about the women. My sleep was fitful and full of horrible nightmares. When | awoke |was glad to be out of my dreams, they had been awful.
Rose and | didn’t go back to the Keeper’s the next day. We stayed in her owners’ apartment with our own men to watch us. In thelate afternoon she sewed and | watched out the window.
“How Long are the men usually gone for a coupling?” | asked Rose.‘t depends,” she told me, “two or three days, usually.”“So, it isn’t odd mine aren’t back yet?” | fretted chewing on a fingernail.
“Ciara, the women rarely kidnap men from a coupling. Honestly, that’s when they are least Likely to be taken,” Rose saidwatching me.
“Are they really that bad?” | asked her. “Are they really stronger than the men?”ninjanovel.com
“Without a doubt,” she told me and shuddered.
“How did you see them?” | asked.
“| was with my Masters while they played a game of chuke,” she said quietly. “Two women swooped out of the sky and grabbed aman right from the field. They were about to fly away with him when another larger woman attacked them. The women seemedto be fighting over the man. The larger woman forced the two smaller women to drop the man and then chased them away.”novelbin
“The larger woman protected the man?” | asked her.
She shook her head, “I don’t know what they were doing. We all waited thinking the man was going to be taken again, but hewas not. I’m not sure what they were doing.”
| held my tongue in check and watched Rose go back to her sewing. The larger woman was probably protecting a man sheowned, just no one knew it. He must have had some talent to have been the target of a nearly successful raid. None of that wassomething | could share with my friend.
Despite my concern over my men, | made up my mind to think of nice things before bed. | didn’t want to have nightmares again.Thankfully, | had good dreams all night.
Rose and | were delivered to the Keepers’ compound the next day. The girls from the village had been returned and their friendsdidn’t attack me. They were all smiles, happy to be together again.
