When Callahan walked behind me ripping at the shirt I was giving, I felt the air on my back, I closed my eyes waiting for the first blow of the whip, when it hit my back, I tried not to make a sound. But it was just too much and I started screaming bloody murder. i have never been like this before, i pleaded for him to stop to please believe me i did not do this, Noone would listen, he kept on i was getting thirty lashes, my legs buckled underneath me, i tried to be strong taking what they thought i deserved, but it was just to much i passed out, i didn't even know when the whipping stopped or that i was carried at the edge of the territory, When i awoke, i was so much in pain., but it felt weird, I was laying on something very soft, i was laying on my stomach covered up but my back wasn’t I tried to move but all i felt was the stinging on my back,

“Wait, don’t move, let me help you,” i was really scared, was i in a rogue house, what did they want from me, i didn’t have anything to offer i hope they did not want to do me any harm, all i wanted was to get better and get the heck out of here,

“Please don't hurt me, just let me get up and leave, that's all I ask, I promise I will give you money as soon as I find a job,'' I didn’t hear anything at first until I heard running coming into the room. I could tell it was female by her scent, she came toward me i was starting to get really scared now, she pulled down the blanket from touching my back,

‘Sweetie, you won't be able to go anywhere until your back is healed, We found you at the foot of our steps we wondered where you came from, until we saw your back, so we hurried you inside laid you on your stomach than did what we could to doctor it up, what ever happened to you honey it was really bad, we had to stitch you up in several places, so you wouldn’t be able to get up even if you tried, but I can help you stand if you need the bathroom,” I had to admit i did have to use the bathroom, i was trying not to ask. but i needed to go,

“Can you please help me get up, i do have to go,” she bent down carefully helping me up, i stiffen when i felt the burning on my back, i had to sit down for a minute before she helped me up on my feet, “alright let's do this” she carefully pulled me up on my feet, i stood there so i could get my bearings, then we walked slowly to the bathroom, i noticed i wasn't wearing anything but shorts, she was covering my top up with a towel that covered me, when we got to the bathroom she helped me inside then shut the door,

“When you are ready to get up just call me okay,” I nodded as she shut the door, i thanked the goddess that there where handrails by the toilet, so i lowered myself down slowly, when i was done doing my business, i called for her telling her i was done, she came back inside and helped me, i washed my hands she helped me back into the bedroom, This was all too much, How did i make my way here? where is here, how far am i away from the kingdom, How did i walk this far without even knowing i did this, atleast im safe now, This girl helped me lay back down on my stomach, she took a look at my back she hurried out then back into the room carrying some kind of bowl, she sat beside me, i felt coldness on my back, i jumped a little wishing that i didn’t. Because the burning was back. i tensed up some she could tell, she asked me to try and relax so she could apply the cream to my back, So i tried, it started to feel good with the cream, after awhile my back felt numb, Just what was that cream, i didn't ask, as long i didn't have to feel pain, i was just fine,

‘This is numbing cream, it will numb the pain for three hours, it also helps heal until your cat appears again. she's probably healing as well, so just give her some time. my name is Tay, what's yours?” Of all this pain i have been feeling i had forgotten all about Kimmie, i tried talking to her. “Kimmie are you there, talk to me honey,” i didn't hear anything back, i hope she is okay, Maybe when she gets her rest and heal she will be back, I rather for her sooner than later, I felt tired my eyes were heavy so i decided to take a rest., maybe i will feel better when i wake up.

“Daddy. How long is she supposed to stay? I know she can’t go back. But where is she supposed to go when she heals?”

“I was only asked to take care of her until she heals honey, maybe i can give her a job here to do some house cleaning in my hotel. that way she can have a paycheck and save up some money to do what she wants.”

“That sounds like a plan, But will he get mad if we let her stay?”

“I will deal with that, when the time comes honey, why don’t you try and cook something for her to eat when she wakes up.”

“Alright, i'll fix some nice broth for her with some dumplings with it,” she ran off to the kitchen to fix the food.

“I just hope this poor girl will heal and will be able to forgive him once she figures out they are mates. this is going to be a long road of healing.”
