As each man took her Rose continued to scream her pleasure. She told them she Loved them and that


    they were the most important creatures on the. It sounded like what my owners had told me I


    should be feeling. Evidently that was what they wanted to hear. I’d have to remember that.


    After they were done one of the men walked by me. He was carrying a very drowsy Rose in his arms.


    As they walked out I heard her ask him to use a certain soap, because she liked how it smelled. He told


    her he would be happy to.


    I looked back to find the man named Karis Looking down at me.


    “Rose is a good ve,” he told me. “You would do well to act as it does.”


    “Yes, Keeper,” I replied quietly as I stood up.


    My continued antics here had not been missed by the rest of the


    Warriors. I must be the worst ve they’ve ever brought back.


    He pointed to a spot on the bed and told me toy down, which I did.


    “Christof told me you will need to relieve yourself in the middle of the night,” he said stretching out next


    to me. “You will wake me by tapping on my arm and I will take you.”


    Iy quietly as they brought Rose back and tucked her in on the other side of the bed. She sounded


    like she was already asleep. The men ally down and gotfortable around me. I was used to the


    nighttime routine.


    I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I wasn’t all that tired. Frankly, I’d done a lot of nothing all day,


    except stand. My feet were sore and I was restless. Suddenly, warm breath was on my cheek and I


    opened my eyes.


    “Why don’t you sleep, ve?” Karis asked quietly.


    “My feet are sore, Keeper. I apologize for keeping you awake.”


    The man grumbled a Little and got off the bed. I went to follow him and was pulled back down by the


    man on the other side of me. My insides were all bunched up wondering what they were going to do to


    me.

    Rose was sound asleep. I could hear her steady Light breathing from the other side of the bed. Why


    couldn’t I do that?

    Karis returned into the bedroom and sat on a stool by my feet. I had horrible images in my head of what


    they were going to do to me.


    Hopefully I’d just pass out from the pain.


    Taking my right foot in his hand, he started to rub it. Massaging gently and slowly the dull ache from


    standing in one position all day got better. When he finished with the right he moved to the left. I was


    almost asleep when he rubbed the healing cream over both of them.


    I didn’t wake up at all the rest of the night, which was weird for me.


    It was surprising when I opened my eyes and the sun was up. Rose walked into the bedroom and sat


    on the bed beside me.


    “Fuji said you were a deep sleeper,” she Laughed.


    I expected the morning routine from this time, so it wasn’t a surprise.


    I still didn’t particrly like it that I was being touched Like that by anyone but my owners. At least they


    were quick and efficient about it.
