Meet your new sister

Demelza's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she watched and heard the crystals and spines clack as the other girl shook her fur out. She didn't know they could do that! Her job done she remained where she was and tamed her gaze off them, waiting for a new command or when he made it obvious she was not needed.

Akaste had a mother... maybe that was why she still had fire in her eyes. If Demelza had a mother would she be more spitfire? Demelza sank back into the shadows as he mentioned Akaste was going to warm his bed for part of the night. She should make a smaller bed next to his for the other slave. She had a feeling they would be switching out the other part of the night.
