| was outnumbered. Pushing the memories away | let their combined consciousness take over. The girls would be fine and wewould be fine. The worry floated away and | let it go.

“Good girl,” Evan praised as he poured warm water over my hair to start cleaning it.

The bath was just what all of us needed. It was warm and relaxing. The water washed away the strain in their muscles as theycleaned away the dirt.

The men weren’t particularly bothered by being dirty, but the cleanliness was expected of them. As children they had beentrained that lack of concern over one’s physical being indicated weakness. A man must keep himself in top condition at all times.

| remembered my uncles for a moment. They’d never bathed well enough to wash away the stale sweat or the odor of alcohol.Of course worrying over their physical health had been the last thing on their list. | remembered Uncle Eddy with his paunchy gutand toothless smile.

“Earth is a strange place,” Christof said laughing at my memories. We finished the bath and | was in much better spirits. The menwere glad for my settled state of mind.

“We have questions,” Bane told me quietly as we dressed.ninjanovel.com

Rose was good for me, so the men felt safe leaving me with her. She would keep me from silly thoughts. They settled me at thetable she was at and strode purposefully out of our new area.

Rose was thrilled to have me back. She’d been trying to work on the stories herself, but she didn’t know enough words. Herowners’ Mistress, Mistress Catna, wanted her productive. Rose had been making blankets for men in the compound, but enjoyedwriting a great deal more. Since | was here, we could get back to that.

We knelt together on the comfortable kneeling chairs and talked for a moment before Rose insisted we do some work. Thewoman that owned Rose’s men was quite insistent she not be lazy. Rose was terrified of the woman. She pressed the pad she’dbeen given into my hands and entreated me to begin.

| usually came up with what to write about and Rose made it sound good. | thought for several moments.“We could write about scars,” | offered drawing the symbol for that horrible creature absently on the pad.

The pad lit up and Rose put her hand over her mouth. It was a drawn replica of the Scar from many different angles. She pulledit closer and looked at it shuddering.

“What,” she asked, “is that?”

The written words accompanying the drawing was too technical for me to fully understand. It resembled a scientific journal articlewritten for specialists. | read what | could to Rose of the introduction. The information was very detailed.

“Read the whole thing,” she requested politely. “Our story might be made better if we had more information.”

I smiled and nodded. The Light in Rose’s eyes was like nothing | had seen from her before. A teacher, starved of all education,finally able to learn again. She Looked radiant.
