Chapter 5

As the days went by, Bay was finding it more and more difficult to keep her intelligence under wraps. Zane was growing suspicious. Bay still wasn’t quite certain where she stood with him and wanted to keep him in the dark a little longer, but perhaps not too much longer. It was getting harder to do; there was something about Zane that she never noted with Blu. Finn and Blu had taken turns with her, with their rotating schedule, but Zane was around her a great deal. There were times Zane seemed so distracted and puzzled. For a moment, Bay wondered if he was always like that, until Draven had asked his father point blank—“Father, why are you being so weird?” To which his father replied, somewhat under his breath—“Damned if I know.”

Bay’s throat was healing to the point where she felt she could now be understood, and Draven was teaching her to speak two separate languages. One was his father’s, the other she assumed was a child’s secret language. The secret language was guttural and animalistic, but fun in an odd way. Draven loved it when she spoke to him in the silly language—cuddling beside her and laying his sweet head against her.

During the day, Bay was sent into the garden. The glass on their home wasn’t glass at all; she could step through it and let herself back into the home if it rained—like some huge doggy door. The backyard was cleared of all large shrubbery and was about the size of a normal backyard on Earth. The sun or suns, shone a bit brighter as there were no shadows lurking in the enclosed space. There were toys she could play with when Draven came home; heavy thick balls he bounced to her; a teeter totter you stood up on, not sat on; and a child-sized obstacle course. Until Draven came home, she mostly ate, slept and tried to stay out from under Zane’s feet; he acted even weirder when Draven was not about. She preferred to be outside as Zane spent many hours at home, she presumed working. His room was off limits, and Bay stayed away.

Washing hadn’t been easy; as there was no way she would allow Draven to bathe her. Thankfully, Zane wasn’t interested. Once, when Zane left to take Draven to school, she had stepped into their shower and then run howling from it seconds later. It was like being blasted with a power washer, and the water was freezing. The shower had left a nasty red mark, drawing a fine line of blood on her shoulder. Zane had examined it and questioned Draven over it, but of course the boy knew nothing—he had been at school, and Bay knew that Zane knew this. Zane had put cold cloths on her that had helped, and he seemed honestly concerned.

Bay had been able to convey her distress to Draven, who explained to his father she needed her own washing area. At Bay’s urging, Draven
