At the Keepers the next day I was in a tizzy. My owners had seen me do everything, literally. Somehow


    the idea of dancing seductively for them had me really nervous though. I paced while Rose and Fuji


    laughed at me.


    “What if they think I Look stupid?” I asked intively.


    “You look beautiful when you dance Ciara, your owners will love it. Now stop pacing. Please tell me,


    what are you wearing that smells so wonderful?” Rose asked.


    “I do like the smell also,” Fujimented pressing her cool face against my neck.


    Touching my neck I remembered the stuff Master Damien had put there. I still smelled it, too. It did


    smell really good. I’d never known perfume tost that Long. ly owners put something on my neck after


    they bathed me,“ I shrugged, “I don’t know what it was.”


    “Well, you’re very lucky,” said Rose. “Perfume is really expensive here. It Lasts for a long time at Least.


    My owners put some on me when I’ve made them really happy. What did you do to make them so


    happy with you?” she asked knowingly.


    I groaned and told her. Both women were thrilled to hear the bond was being fixed. They said their


    owners had been concerned about Master Damien and his brothers for a long while. Feeling like a big


    mouth I begged them again not to tell their owners what was going on.


    “Ciara,” Fuji said looking confused, “my owners already know the bond is being repaired. The way your


    Warriors fought with Andre and his brothersst night proved it. They haven’t worked together like that


    in a long time. Everyone noticed, it’s not a secret.”


    I felt better knowing I wasn’t spreading rumors around. We practiced dancing the rest of the morning. I


    worked on my belly rolls until my stomach was tired. Despite the humor my friends exuded I was still


    really nervous about tonight.


    When the lunch bell rang I was hungry. My Little resting ce was in the main dining room. I waited


    patiently expecting anyone but Christof.


    I was surprised when he took a seat in front of me. He fed me and talked to other Warriors around us.


    As per normal, I was full quickly. I took the bites from him slower and slower.


    “Ciara,” he whispered in my ear, “no games today. Eat what I have for you or I will ask the Keepers to


    help me feed you,” he threatened.


    I looked up at him and didn’t see the look of my friend. His face had no humor in it at all, he was


    seriously irked.


    “Yes, Christof,” I said dejectedly.

    “Address me as you address my brothers, Ciara,” he warned into my ear.


    “Yes, Master Christof,” I responded feeling even more depressed.


    I assumed that Master Damien had gotten on him. There was no other excuse for his behavior.


    Eventually it would be nice if we could be friends again.


    I didn’t stay on the beach with my friends after the mid day meal. I quietly swam out the Little grate and


    explored. I noticed the current had changed a little, it was stripping off vegetation higher up the wall.


    Careful to stay above it, I explored until the Keepers brought us in.


    Out of the water I was nervous about my evening again. The girls tried tofort me on the way to the


    Keeper’s courtyard. I knelt down waiting anxiously on my pad for my owners.

    They would hate my dancing; I was sure of it. In my head I could hear themughing at me and


    begging me never to dance again.


    I was sure they were all very well coordinated, they had to be to be Warriors. I had never been used


    of having that ability. Tonight would just disy for the world how much less than them I was.


    Another horrible thought tormented me, what if they didn’t want a ve with no talent. Master Christof


    wouldn’t stick up for me anymore, so I’d be sold.
