The Healers showed up at some point. I heard them discussing with Master Damien in the main room as Master Evan held me down. Humans do this all the time, they said. My owners were lucky it wasn't the first day, that's what usually happens. I heard them give instructions to Master Damien on how to use the calming creams.
Master Damien came back in with two tiny jars in his hand. I apologized for the money I was costing them. I told them I'd get a job and pay them back. Master Damien looked at me with the oddest expression
Master Evan held me tight as Master Damien brushed a heavy amount of the stuff across my forehead and cheeks. He took a second jar and brushed some of it over my neck. It burned strangely. I bucked in Master Evan's arms and tried to get free.
The creams sunk in and I stopped struggling. My mind was foggy and my body went slack. Whatever had me so upset a moment ago no longer mattered.
I looked around the room and found an unusual amount of humor in everything. A giggle passed my lips and I turned my head to look at the man holding me so tight. His concerned expression was comical and I laughed out loud.
Master Evan released me and I rolled languidly onto my back watching him. I still felt damp between my thighs and told them they could have me now. Incredulous looks was the only response I got.
Dinner was a relaxed affair. I couldn't kneel because I kept toppling over. Instead, they sat me on Master Christof's lap and he fed me.
I guess they didn't have drunks here, because my ramblings were very amusing to them. Despite my best efforts I couldn't stop talking. I said all manner of things I shouldn't be saying and they encouraged me. It was like a huge show for them.
After dinner I quieted down and they played a game in the sitting room. They allowed me free reign of the room until I tried to touch the fire because it was pretty. After that I was placed beside Master Damien and not allowed to move.
At some point they put me to bed and I passed out. The last lucid part of my mind wondered what they were going to do with me in the morning.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
I woke up looking at Master Evan, as usual. I felt fuzzy and weird. When I tried to talk to him my speech was slurring. At first he thought I sounded silly and then he started to look concerned. He called his brothers in and it took them a long time to understand me. Master Damien sent Master Bane to get the Healers.
After a while my voice seemed to be working more normally, but I was so confused. I struggled to remember what I had done yesterday. There were snapshots of things happening, but no timeline. It seemed I had lost something.
While we waited for the Healers Master Kein sat beside me and I asked about the day before. It felt like I was missing something crucial. "Do you remember what you told us?" he asked curiously.
"No, I don't remember much of yesterday at all. Master Kein. I remember being at the Keepers a little. Fuji showed her teeth and they were really sharp. I can’t remember why she did that. What happened to me?" I asked getting more scared.
Master Bane burst back into the apartments breathing hard
"It was the cream, brothers," he called to them. "I talked to Basin and the Healers. The cream can affect a human's speech and even movement the next day. It is not ill. We just used too much.”
"It cannot remember,” Master Damien said looking toward Master Bane.
"The cream affects their minds. Some forget days at a time and never remember it, especially if the use is heavy," Master Bane told him. "That's why the Healers don’t encourage us to use it.”
"I spoke with the General last night. He and the other Warriors are expecting a report," Master Damien said looking at me. "We will have to give him the name of the other one it spoke of. That is the best we can do."
My walking didn't seem to be too adversely affected. I was a little more heavy footed, but nothing horrible. Master Damien determined I would go with them, he didn't tell me where.
My owners seemed solemn as we dressed. They became quieter as we walked out ‘fie door. I followed the downstairs and through the x courtyard I nto a large room fil ed with 1 warrio s. My breath left me ina rush % and I wanted to run out had n@idea what they were géing to do to me.
The General was standing in front of the room and we walked right to him. I only knew it was the General because I saw his boots, the man had the largest feet I'd ever seen.
“Damien, tell us what you know," he said gruffly.
Master Damien told the General and the other Watriors that several Slaves wanted to escape through »™ the ocea. He said I had talked SS about under the influence of > calnaifig cream. Due to the effects of theeream, I could no longer réfnember who wanted ta escape.
"We could use the lash and make the slave talk," a man called out.
A cheer wentip from the Warriors surroundingne. I huddled slightly closer to Master Evan and prayed => silently. Strong hands pulled my back to Master Bane's chest as Master Kein muttered what sounded like long curse from the other side.
"You do not have an Earth slave, lbith.” the General said. "Their minds are weak and very affected by the creams. Many cannot speak the day after it has been used.”
"The slave spoke of one named Fuji who became irate at the mention of escape,” Master Damien offered. “Bring the one they named Fuji," the General called out.
I felt really awful for starting this mess. Fuji’s owners went and got her, bringing her back in front of the General. She dutifully told the General who. had wanted to escape and how they planned to do it.
After she was done the General excused my Warriors and her Warriors.
