to run he decided that he get the work that needed
finished completed before she returned. He even told himself that it
was probably for the best. This way she could see for herself that
there was no place to run off to on this planet. Seeing would help
her believe him.
He would
punish her when she came back home and then make love to her and give
her a piece of chocolate, thus giving her a reason to stay close by
him. She would want more passion after she got her first taste.
A few
minutes later the head Emko sought Rokai out again. “Your slave has
hurt herself. She stepped on a wetu. My people killed the wetu but
its teeth are still stuck in her feet. Come quickly, we have to get
the poison out of her.”
“ Wetu?
Poison? I thought this planet was safe?”
Rokai
followed behind the Emko. Just as he was about to step outside, Amber
came in whimpering his name. The Emkos were doing their best to
support her up, despite the fact that she was twice their size.
Rokai
took one look at her foot and he wanted to be sick. He lifted Amber
away from them and carried her to their bedroom. “What silly
nonsense was going through your head again? Amber, stay with me.”
“ I'm
sorry. I'm going to die now, right?” She was looking into his eyes,
trusting him to tell her the truth.
“ Oh no,
we are going to fix you up and when you are all better I am going to
give you the thrashing of a lifetime.”
“ Okay,
that sounds good. Let's do that.” Her head rolled to the side and
she passed out.
“ Amber?”
He shook her shoulder. “Amber? Can you hear me?”
Rokai
stayed at her side, holding her hand. He didn't want her to be alone.
The Emko
had gone right to work, doing what needed to be done. Rokai was the
only one who gagged as they removed the dead animal's head from her
foot, tooth by long hairy tooth.
They
pumped so much blood out of her body that he feared that she would
die from blood loss.
Now that
everything that could be done was done Rokai felt drained and
useless. There was nothing he could do to help her, except stare at
her and will her to get better. Even that wasn't working.
Rokai sat
next to her, holding her hand until it was late. Three stars showed
their light down on the this planet. It never got dark here. It just
got lighter and dimmer. That would take a long time to get used to.
Rokai had
been giving orders and explaining what needed to be done with the
cocoa plants. The Emko were so competent that they didn't need him
checking on them.
They were
a species that was made to serve. They wanted to have a family that
they could serve. Rokai had found out in the meantime that all the
Emko here had volunteered to join this undertaking. They wanted to be
away from the factories and other work places they had. By reading
between the lines he was able to hear that they wanted to serve a
family that would know who was who among them, and be good to them.
Rokai was
quick to promise that he would be a good master if only they could
save his Amber for him. They wanted her to survive just as much as he
did. They were very loyal creatures, but a chance to have a good
master was something they wouldn't want to pass up. Lots of them had
stopped by to check on her and offer suggestions about how they could
help her.
Some told
Rokai that they had once worked with families before. Rokai's new
house was quickly filling up. He had a large staff that would work in
the house taking care of him and Amber.
The ones
that preferred to work outside came in and told him that they were
thankful for this chance. They all promised to work hard for him and
Amber.
Amber had
no idea that so many people were wishing her well and thinking good
thoughts for her.
Amber had
a high fever. Rokai was worried that she wouldn't survive. It seemed
more and more unlikely that she would survive this as time past by.
He held her hand, trying to convince himself that she would wake up
any moment.
