“Why are you here!?” she roared. “Where have you been?”
I stared into her face and saw the first bit of venom cling like a yellow diamond to
her fang. It dropped off slowly and fell between us. I took an instinctive step back
from her.
She knew, I thought miserably, and would kill me for what I'd done. Shockingly,
my voice stayed steady as I talked to her. I explained that I'd been walking and
heard the alarm. As quickly as I could I was heading home.
Nu-reeh stood staring into my face for several moments and I watched the rage
behind her eyes. It terrified me and I clung tightly to Kennedy. If my daughter
could fly, she could escape, but her wings were far from mature. In the face of
Nu-reeh’s wrath we stood defenseless.
“Nu-reeh!” a voice suddenly called out and the big woman whipped around
toward the sound.
Tosu landed lightly beside us and spoke firmly to Nu-reeh, she questioned why
Nu-reeh wasn't checking the far mountain face. The men may be scaling down it.
It really should be monitored.
“I'll take the slave to her quarters,” Tosu said calmly. “You seem to be too angry to
deal with this now.”
Nu-reeh spent several minutes discussing search plans with Tosu. The women
were all over the outside of the mountain looking for the men. They were certain
they would find them stuck on a rock face; it would just take time.
Kennedy was looking up at me with concern on her features. I realized she had
not seen the map and didn't know the men were going underground. As subtly as
I could I winked at her. She understood and smiled a confused smile in response.
“Go,” Tosu finally told Nu-reeh, “if anyone can find them out there it is you,” she
said shooing her Sister.
I wasn't given even a second glance as Nu-reeh disappeared out the opening.
“Come on, then,” Tosu said to me in a no nonsense tone.

Without hesitation, she scooped me up, so I was sitting in the crook of her elbow.
Tosu's strides were larger than I could have made. We headed for home rapidly.
Tosu walked us down a deserted corridor toward the area we stayed in. This
wasn't a route I personally Liked to walk. It was dark and dreary, completely cut
off from the outside and usually poorly lit. In the middle of it Tosu slowed and
looked around pointedly.
After several moments she Looked down at me and smiled.
“You did well, as did Hannah. I will protect you, but you must continue to keep
your head,” she said very softly. “The boys will escape through the tunnels under
us. They will be safe now.”
For a moment, I didn't breath.
