“Swim,” Bane said to me as Rose's men redressed her, “thirty-seven times and
then you rest.”
I swam my Laps as quickly as I could. It wasn't nearly as interesting as swimming
around the Keeper's inlet, but I made do. Once I was done I dried and dressed
myself, much to Rose’s shock, and went to lay down.
As I lay in the quiet bedroom my mind drifted to what the men were doing.
Christof made a point to concentrate on things about the ore. That seemed to
satisfy the little life inside of me. She was entertained by his cajoling and I rested
comfortably the entire afternoon while they worked.
The men found me still sleeping on their bed when they got done. They were
quiet as they disrobed for their shower. Evan was insistent I sleep as long as I
could.
Damien permitted me to remove the punishment from Evan's ass before dinner. I
was glad we did. He was obviously not meant to wear something like this. Poor
man was bleeding a little. He swore not to make the same mistake that had led to
this again.
The pregnancy wore on and settled into a predictable pattern. I read daily and
sometimes nightly. My little girl was relentless in her quest for knowledge.
Eventually the men found Christof could calm her if it needed to be done. When
she had not Let me rest for days, that was what had to happen.
We were Lucky in a way, as my belly grew her schedule became more
regimented. She knew to be curious in the morning and let me rest more at night.
It was a good change and one I was thrilled to see.
Hannah visited regularly. Sometimes she gifted me with devotionals, sometimes
not. The lack of a pattern stopped Nu-reeh from catching her. What my girl was
doing would have infuriated Nu-reeh. If she found out what Hannah was doing, I
was sure Nu-reeh would kill her.
My daughter gathered information for one of the lead female families that fought
for freedom. Hannah and her Sister were not restricted and moved easily
between the mountains. The mature women tracked them, but only somewhat.
1 asked not to be given details, so I would not endanger anyone, but Hannah
insisted I know what she was helping to do.
The stolen men were somehow removed from the mountains or compounds and
delivered to safe places. There they were told the truth and allowed to make their
own decisions. No one owned them and they mated at their discretion. A woman
could ask, but no was an acceptable answer. Their rights were respected by the
women around them.
In this new life the men were permitted to learn anything they wanted. Access to
knowledge was no longer prohibited. They could think and study on any topic
that was interesting to them. None of them were Limited in what they could do.
“Warriors that act like Administrators, Mama,” Hannah whispered to me one day.
“Administrators building the weapons that fortify the homes they live in. The men
are finding they can have many and varied interests.”
The men were productive in the small, free societies. They worked and helped
the women with every task. The goal was to eventually have all of them be
mostly self sufficient. That would be the sign of true equality.

“We talk to them,” Ra said. “They are friendly with us and invite us to dine with
them. They touch us without fear.”
My hackles raised at her last statement. “How exactly,” I hissed, “do they touch
you girls?”
