“We could tell the General no,” offered Master Christof handing out the bowls of food.
The men all murmured in consensus and my head shot up.
“You’ll make him angry, Master Christof,” I responded feeling shocked.
“We do not wish to see your pain,” Master Bane toldas he offereda chunk of food.

“No, we will be there and they will not touch you. Slaves are not caused pain in the tent,” Master Damien responded. fou will be there, Masters?” I asked to the group.
“ALL day, Ciara,” Master Bane toldas he pressed food to my Lips.
I didn’t want to eat, but that upset them, so I did. During the meal they discussed anything but the tent. I tried to focus on the conversation and ate what they gave me. I forced myself to relax and the knots in my stomach untied.

What I wanted to do was ask Rose about this new practice. I hoped the other girls would still be talking toafter what I had done. There was no way to fix it now.
After the food we rested on the platform for a while. I dangled my legs in the water.
“Is there anything Like this on earth?” Master Christof asked me.

Master Kein wanted to know all about the ocean on earth, so I told him what I knew. When I asked they toldthings about the sea here. The discussion was open and it was really a nice change.

We talked about the mountains, then. They would never takethere, because it was too dangerous. That is where the women lived. Master Damien talked like the mountains were an unpleasant and difficult place, even for them. I couldn’t imagine how bad it would be for me.
They asked if I had mountains on my pland I told them I did. I had lived by the sea most of my life, but my mother had takento the mountains to see them once. The hills and valleys were beautiful on the television, but going to them was another experience all together.
Laughing, I told them about the awful trip mom and I took. She got drunk and wrecked the car, our only transportation, late one night. We had to take a bus all the way back hand it took days.
The memory madesad and I tried to brush away the tears before they noticed. I hated to think about my mom, I still missed her. They didn’t chastisefor being sad. Master Bane just pulled me onto his lap and letcry quietly for a moment.
