I blinked a bit. "How can this be, the only people here are me..you and Josef and the black dragon?" This was impossible, I lean my hand on Diamond's side..could my power see who would do such a thing? "He has a right to be upset, I can tell Josef cares about Diamond as much as me. You are not my owner. Do not tell me what to do. I will be by your side, but I will NOT be your slave."  My eyes look into his, daring him to treat me as  anything less than an equal.
