He claimed the reason he had copied Nathan’s persona and edited memories into me was to treat Joey’s condition. While there was truth to that, the...fact that he faked my death meant his intentions hadn’t been in any way honorable.Gladius had the nerve to be insulted when I told him that. He insisted I would have been very happy with my new life living at the Keep. In fact, he went as far as to say he had planned on eventually turning over part of Kain’s duties to me once the twins had reawakened. I realized I needed to stop feeling sorry formyself. I had to have time away from home to think, to understand who Ihad become. I kept telling myself I wasn't a boy trapped in a girl'sbody, I was a girl now. But some part deep inside of me kept rebelling."Yes, my world was destroyed when I was an infant, and yes, I was turnedinto a girl a couple of months ago. But I'm here, and I've got incredibleabilities. What you and pa have taught me all along is still true--I'mhere for a reason, even if. She had to say 'no, ' and men were likely to think she meant 'no.' Especially if the men were stupid, or Yankee. And Charles was both."Could you walk up here?" Charles asked.

They would be even more likely to."So he explained how she could get on the horse behind him by standing at the appropriate height on the tree. Now it was his idea."I shall try. But you must tell. Your feet are the same. You roll over and fall back to sleep quickly. When you awaken, it is because someone is touching your pussy. They must have been working it for some time because you can feel your juices dripping and flowing easily from it. You moan as they probe inside you. They stop and you feel your hands been released as well as your legs. Some hooks your hands together in front of you then pulls you to your feet. You are led down the hall to the bathroom again and permitted to.
