Chapter 80

That conversation was quickly replaced by Rose’s fretting over the lashing. Rose’s family on earth had hit her with a belt and shetalked about breathing through the pain

“I'm not sure if it’s better to scream or if there is a set number of lashings,” she mused pacing back and forth.“Why would screaming make a difference?” | asked her.

“Do you remember the posts?” she asked incredulously. “Your Warriors watched you the entire time, they stood out of sight. Theychoose who went up after you, if you panicked too much they tell their friends to stop. Your Warriors will never cause you paindirectly, they will only ever be the one to stop it.”

I sat and stared at her in shock. | did the math quickly in my head.

Rose didn’t look or act Like a seventy year old woman. She was calmer than | was, but otherwise was like a teenager.“Things work different here,” she said stroking my hair, “just breath.”

“But on Earth..

I stammered.

“You mustn't talk about it,” she warned cutting me off. “They do not like us to speak of our home planets. We must only think ofour Warriors now.”
