All Novel Sweet
Chapter 597
There were fundamental things he’d be taught now. He’d be learning to do things like use the lacquered pot to relieve his waste. The Keepers would be teaching him to bathe himself. He’d be learning to dress himself. His Brothers would all be learning with him, so the lessons took quickly.
The tears did fall as I heard those things.
“I should teach this to him,” I cried openly. “He should be with me and I would show him all of this.”
My family hated to see me cry like this and I tried to stop. It was upsetting for all of us. Tears reminded us all of how fragile I was. I didn’t want to be that weak.
“We will see him again,” Damien promised.
“I swear to you both, when Hannah saves us, we will save him next. It is my promise.”
Wiping away unshed tears I thanked him and so did Evan. In the back of my mind, I still wondered how many more I would have to give away. I feared it would break me, despite all I did to prevent it, if there were too many more.
“Do something happy,” Bane insisted rising from the table.
Evidently, we’d all Lost our appetites.
Evan brought out Kennedy’s pad and encouraged me to check it. I lay my palm across the screen and saw a message from Hannah. I wiped my face clean of tears and pulled it up. It was in English, so I would have to read it to them.

Dear Family, You will be rescued soon.
It is important you go quickly with the men we send for you. They will tell you my name.
Nu-reeh no longer is allowing Mama out to the cabins, so we will have to take her from the compound. This is good, because we wish to rescue her friends also: Rose and Fuji. We will arrange to have them taken from the Keepers.
Damien, your family, Basin’s family, and Stayne’s family will be taken from your patrols. Send me a schedule of all the patrols for the next moon. That will make it easier to find you. Be cautious and let the bandits talk before you attack them, they may be from me. Do what the men tell you and they will bring you to me.
It is important you are not difficult. The men from the camps will not risk being caught near the compound.
We will see you soon.
Love, Hannah and Ra
I was ecstatic and jumped gleefully in the air to do a happy dance. It was over, finally over. My celebration was cut short when I realized only I was happy.
Damien and his Brothers did not Like it. This is not how they wanted to escape. The last time Kennedy’s friends had approached me, I’d been injured. They weren’t willing to risk it again.
“NO!” I screamed to Damien as he tried to take the pad.
He was going to tell Hannah to wait. There had to be a way we could be taken as a group. Splitting up was too dangerous, he believed.
I held the pad to my chest and backed away from them. “I cannot do it again. Please, I beg you. If you love me, allow her to take us. This is too much for me to bear.”
