Female Novel
Chapter 168
“We are the best, Ciara,” Master Damien said sitting on the bench in the room, “I am the best fighter, Kein is the best tracker,Bane is strong as any two men, Christof makes the most girls, and Evan’s talent is unrivaled. Together we are a near unbeatableforce.”
“The Administrators believe as General we would inspire the men to be more like us. We are always the best and always strivefor excellence.
They want to make our family the paradigm for the compound,” he finished leaning against the wall.
Master Christof sighed and stroked my hair, “You are precious to us. We do not wish to lose you, but we do not know how tokeep you. The vote is to be held in a Lunar cycle.”
“It's a vote?” | whispered and they told me it was. “So there are other families you are running against.”
“Yes,” Master Christof said, “families we feel would be happy to be General. They are not as strong as us. We feel sure the votewill go our way, the General agreed.”
‘an’t you just tell them you don’t want it?” | asked.“Ciara,” Master Kein said softly, “we discussed this with the General.ANGELA'‘sLIBRARY
He knows the same thing we know, namely how this world is run. The position of General is the position of head slave in thecompound. We have no more choice in the matter than you did in coming here.”
My world was rocked and my head was reeling. Something they had said made me think. They had said they were the best.
“What if you weren't the best?” | asked. “My uncles sucked at every job they did. No one ever wanted them in charge of anything.They showed up late, didn’t work when they were there, and Left early to go hang out with women. Can you act like that to avoidthe promotion?”
“We have never acted like that,” Master Damien snorted, “it would be dishonorable.”
The rest of the men agreed with Master Damien about how ridiculous that idea was. They would never act in such a way as |described. It would embarrass and demean them.
| hung my head and wasn’t surprised when | vomited a second time.
Whether they like it or not, they were going to be promoted. They didn’t have the imagination necessary to buck the system. Iwould just have to watch as they were taken from me.
It wasn’t surprising that | cried myself to sleep that night. They tried to shush and comfort me, but it didn’t work. | finally fellasleep when they put a tiny amount of the calming cream on my forehead.
| woke up the next morning and the sun was high in the sky. My brain felt a little fuzzy from the calming cream, but | hadn’t lostmy memory. Slowly | rose from the bed and wasn’t surprised when | stumbled a little.
