“I can’t,” he told me.
“I can’t do it again. It’s too hard. We cannot live like this, let us die.”
“No, we stay together,” I said pushing him to sit in the Lamplight.
“They won’t let us stay together,” he said drifting away into the dark.

My arms bechuge in the dream. I hugged them together and pulled them all to my chest. They couldn’t escape back into the blackness. I would make them stay in the Light with me.
The crushing despair I’d escaped only a few days before started to creep back in. They had wanted to be together withso badly and I had not come. They had waited and then they had decided to get me themselves.
The men had tried to get back to my compound to check on me, but Nu-reeh had stopped them. She’d taken their transport and scolded them.
“You have permission to be here only,” she’d growled at Damien.

The men were left at the cabin to deal with their desperation. Panic and hopelessness set in. They were sure something had happened to me. Their family was ripped and torn, never to be whole again. The anger had taken hold of them.
Eventually they would find the men that did not bringand hurt them, but it would take a long time. They were too weak to hold their family together. I could be gone for many turns of the moon before they could know. It had to end if we could not truly be one being.
I woke from the dream sweating and shaking. Master Christof was shivering behindand I turned to face him. He looked desperate and yet somehow relieved.
I knew when I looked at Master Christof he had had the sdream. We all had. The weight of their misery hung aroundand I felt it.
We were bonded, the six of us. I understood the anticipation suddenly, whispered memories told me how they had waited forat the cabin. We had four days again, but I never cand they couldn’t cto me. They were so upset, the last vestige of good they had coveted for themselves was gone. In the end they just felt pain, so they inflicted it on one another.

“It cannot happen,” Master Christof said, “you are not like us. You are not of this world.”
He was right. I wasn’t Like them. No part ofcould form that strong a bond with another.
It was why I got better when the bond broke.
I didn’t need such a thing to be happy.
I could survive alone.
My mind felt Like it did all those days when the funny thoughts flitted through my head. It was much stronger now and more constant. The chain and collar irritated them. The clean mats were nice and what had I done with their boots?
My belly twitched and rolled. The little life insidewas awake and moving. Master Christof’s hand had been on the side of my stomach and he felt the movement.
