NovelEnglishDamien placed a hand on Hannah’s arm and pleaded with her.
“We can protect your Mama,” he said. “You must show us the way out. We cannot live this way. Nu- reeh tortures her with our seed. It is not right.”
Hannah shook her head sadly and met my eyes as she spoke.
“You do not know the beasts that exist beyond these mountains, Daddy. This world is fierce and wild. I do not doubt your strength, but you are without Knowledge. Givetto find a place that Mama will be safe. We need tto build larger settlements. I swear to you I will take you away, but right now I cannot.”
The men hated weakness and believed themselves above such things. I saw them coming to a consensus rapidly. This wasn’t over yet.

“Of course, Daddy,” Hannah sighed, “just don’t ask us to give you freedom, yet. It breaks my heart to see my family kept this way. We are working as hard and fast as we can.”

The women that lived in the mountain here spent five days looking for the escaped men before they gave up. Hannah and Ra stayed with us all five days.
“We are too young to search for men,” Hannah told us.
“Nu-reeh will let us stay, as long as, we are out of the way. She told us we could stay with you.”
During the hunt, the men in the mountains were kept on Lockdown. Two men from each family went to the eating area and collected food for the day. Otherwise the men were confined to their quarters. If it wasn’t for Hannah and Ra it would have been a boring five days.
Damien invited both Stayne’s and Basin’s families to cand Listen to Hannah. We would move the Listening pad far away as we sat and Hannah taught us. She and Ra told us everything they could.
Damien never told the other men about the escape. He never said we were going to escape one day. Eventually he would trust Basin and Stayne with the knowledge, but not yet. Right now they would just unknowingly learn so they could leave with us. All three families were loyal friends and they would eventually accompany us. There would be strength in numbers.
Ra and Hannah were good teachers. They sat with all of us and told us what they’d seen and done. The men were fascinated by it. Stayne’s and Basin’s families seemed hesitant to ask questions of the females, though.
As the days passed the other families got more comfortable with Hannah and Ra. They would ask simple questions and cringe waiting for the rebuke. It never came. My girls were open and friendly. They had no ill will when it cto curious men.
Kennedy started to walk while Hannah was here. She’d use the furniture or her fathers to steady herself as she moved around. The other families were shocked at the familiarity Damien and his Brothers had with the Little girl.

She refused. Kennedy wanted to figure out how to walk. Her determination was interfering with the feeding schedule my men knew she should have. They wanted her to be a strong girl and that would
only happen if she kept gaining weight.
“Eat and then walk,” Bane demanded scooping her up and bringing her to me. “Your Mama is Leaking milk it has been so long. Stop being stubborn,” he commanded.
Kennedy fought him and wiggled. If she ate, she’d get tired and go to sleep.
“I want to walk!” she hissed up at him. Bane wasn’t deterred, “You’ll be strong enough to defy us soon enough Little One. Eat, sleep, and then walk. That’s what you’ll do now.”
Basin’s family looked shocked. They watched absolutely astonished as Bane handedmy angry daughter. She tried to wiggle out of my arms and Christof told her to stop.
