A mage told Kate the girl was having sleep terrors. Kate rushed into the blanketed room. She knelt by the girl grabbing at the covers. Kate placed her hand on the girl's forehead. She saw a brief vision of the girl being tortured and tormented. The mage took her from the horrible scene to a gassy knoll. Reika seeing horses and a brook runs as sun shone brightly. Kate whispers to her, "Shhh...your safe now. Stay here and enjoy the pasture. No one will harm you here." Kate smoothed Reika's hair and rubbed her shoulder. She could tell from the  dream Alyx had been in the same place many times. The girl had too from her scares. It angered Kate that a young girl would be forced to fight against her will. This was a worse scene. Kate placed her hands over the girls lower stomach and tears filled her eyes. Kate held the girl to her.<span style="font-style: italic">A horrid beast would force a young person to mate.</span><br/><br/>Kate left Reika to sleep and would check on her to make sure she was still in the pasture. It was many hours before Kate was relieved of duty. She was met by one her father's guards. "His lordship wants to see the girl and your charge My Lady." Kate looked at him surprised. "The girl, has not awoken. Please tell my father she is a slave nothing more. I wish to keep her overnight. Alyx, is in the tent across from mine. Announce yourself and call him to you. Do not enter and awaken him. He could be asleep and has just come from battle. He may attack if awoken abruptly."<br/><br/>The guard nodded, "Thank you for the warning. The girl must be brought forth. I am under orders."<br/><br/>Kate sighed, "I will bring the girl. She is a slave. Sir."<br/><br/>The guard nodded, "I am bring her."<br/><br/>Kate growled, "The you man escort us both. I don't want her harmed. Please stay here and I will bring her."<br/><br/>The guard nodded.<br/><br/>Kate entered the blanketed room. She called, "Reika.. Reika... it is Mage Katherine. Wake up. I need to come with me."
