NovelEnglishMaster Damien and his Brothers had chosen these strange men to care forfor three reasons. Firstly, they were curious to learn about Earth, but had no desire to use a slave. Secondly, they were distant from the other Warriors, so I wouldn’t be noticed. The last reason was they were not powerful Warriors. They knew, as well as Master Damien knew, they would not survive a fight with my real owners.
I should not have known any of that. Before a moment ago, I didn’t know any of that. It was all comforting, but hardly normal I should be aware of it.
“Watch your errant tongue, slave,” one of them said as they restarted the transport, “you will sleep in the box tonight.”
I went quietly the rest of the way to the Keepers. Once I got there I made friendly conversation with Rose and Fuji. In the back of my mind I wondered at where these strange thoughts were coming from.
Later in the morning the girls were all gathered and talking on the far side of the room. I sat staring out the window and Rose touched my arm.

“You’ve been distant all morning,” Rose whispered, “and you’ve been gone for two days. What happened?
“I keep waking up sick to my stomach,” I told her. “At first they thought I was ill, but I get better as the day wears on.” hat did the Healers do?” she asked.
“They didn’t call the Healers,” I said and she gasped. “The Healers are expensive,” I continued to explain.
Rose looked around making sure we were truly not being watched. The Keepers were all busy on the other side of the room. The other girls were all busy learning a new dance.
“Ciara, my owners are correct, these new men should not have you. If you are ill, the men will find out. Your fake Masters are not doing an honorable job,” she said. fou sound like one of the Warriors,” I said trying to distract her.
“Are you planning to grow up to be one?”
“Not funny, Ciara, I’m just telling you what everyone already thinks.
They may be right. Humans need special care, the men you were left with aren’t doing the things they should. I’m afraid you’ll get sick,” she urgently whispered.
“I promise, I’m fine,“ I assured her. “It’s not unusual for people to get a Little ill from tto time. I know my…current Masters are not the best, but I won’t get sick. I Love Master Damien and his Brothers.

It would have destroyedto lose them. This is acceptable to me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe men pickedup at night and I cleaned the apartment as was normal. When I was done and they were ready for bed, the men opened the bed in the wall. They had toldI would sleep there for my morning infraction, I had forgotten.
I hated the box. The close confines madefeel anxious, but I knew I could survive it. The last thing I wanted was for these men to find a different way to punish me. My fake owners were smart. They couldn’t be allowed to invent a new way to torture me. I was sure they could be devious if they put their minds to it.
With that thought in mind, I quietly Lay in the box and allowed myself to be slid into the wall. I heard the click as the box was latched and then there was silence. Nothing to do now but wait for morning.
I was standing along a trail surrounded by jeering men with swords.
They were laughing because I was so outnumbered. The thieves dared to tellhow they would torture my Brothers before they killed us. Their taunts didn’t bother me, I knew how hard my family trained. We were not in any danger. The jeering men just needed to be a little closer before we struck.
The battle was swift. My favored sword arm was ready and the men fell before it. Thieves that threatened our Lives had no right to live, that was the law. Dealing out this justice was my right.
When the first one was struck down, I saw his Brothers cry out. Now I knew who belonged to which family. It was a mercy kill to end the lives of his Brothers quickly.
