The problem, I knew, was that I trusted my owners. They did not Like to hurtand keptwell. Damien and his Brothers were the only safetyI had here.
Another problem was that I loved them. It started with Christof and even after he rejoined them, I still cared for him. He no longer had similar feelings for me, I was sure. I still remembered the times we had shared. In a way I loved the rest of them also. They were innocent and stubborn. I could not imagine life without them.
I probably I would have suffered just as much the month before I left earth, if I’d known in advance. It strucksuddenly that maybe they should not have told me. Perhaps it would have been better if I just woke up one morning and was given to different owners. It wasn’t possible to forget this now. I’d just have to deal with it.
I eventually fell asleep in the bed. I expected my owners when the tray was removed from the wall, but it was different men. They toldthey were Keepers.

“Slave, we keep you and you may Look at us while we are here. Where are your owners? Why did they ask us to deal with you this night?” Rose’s owner, Basin, asked me.

“Should you be asking the slave?” the Keeper asked him aghast.
“Keeper, mind your own business. We hired you to watch this slave and that is what you will do. Earth slaves are intelligent; it may know where they have gone,” Basin said angrily.
“They didn’t wakethis morning, sir,” I answered, “I woke up and the Keepers were here. I thought my Masters went to work.”
Basin cursed in volumes for a few moments, his other Brothers also seemed really angry. He pushed over a chair in the eating area and stormed out, his family right behind him. I could still hear him cursing in the hallway.
My night tKeepers fed and cleaned me. I was worried about my owners, but determined not to throw up anymore. I did Rose’s deep breathing in front of the fire and tried to stay relaxed.
The night got later and later. Granted, I had slept most of the day, but I wasn’t used to being up at night. I pulled the blanket from in front of the fire and curled up with my head on my kneeling pad.
Eventually, I was woken up as Basin and his Brothers cback. They gave the Keepers several stones and put out the fire in the fireplace.
One of them pickedup and carrieddown to their quarters. They laidin their bed and orderedto go to sleep.
Rose was wide awake and staring at me. I didn’t know what to say or do, so I laid down. The men lay down but were up a moment Later.

He used so many curse words I could barely understand him.
“They disappear from their post, show up once we’ve started a search and claim to be feeding their slave. Their slave was at their home!
They never went there. Now they are gone again. Have they lost their ability to reason? The General will beat them bloody. We couldn’t hide it, it was too obvious. Slave, what are your owners thinking?” the man asked turning on me.
I knew what they were thinking. I knew I couldn’t lie, so I told the truth. “They are the best at what they do, sir,” I said and he roared with anger.
Rose moved across the bed and wrapped herself around me. The man stared at the two of us crossly.
“Not another word should cout of your mouth slave. Lay down and go to sleep. Do not even speak toif I ask you a question,” the man said.
