I was with Sarah in the change room one afternoon after swimming comps and just by chance all the other girls had finished changing and left to go to ...lass, leaving Sarah and me together, suddenly she placed her hand on my bare arm and smiled so sweetly as she said ‘you were wonderful today Lauren, you swam so well’ I could feel myself blush and I naturally dropped my head a little, it was then I noticed that she had removed her swimmers and showered, but hadn’t yet started to dress for class,. As they finally all manage to get up they hear a voice, neither male nor female from high above their heads "Hello everyone, I know you all must be scared but there is no need to be, or rather being scared is of no use to you if you want to survive. You all have been chosen to become the Beta-Testers for this new and improved world."The people standing below him only stared with blank expressions unable to truly understand what he was saying. But the figure simply continued talking, just. " he said as he came in the door. "It looks like I got here just in time for lunch. This place is looking up with you here. I needed to go to the lumber yard for more nails before lunch and talk to Randy about a few things."It looks like we are going to have plenty of Pizza." I said. "You're welcome to have lunch with us. Randy's treat."Thanks. Say, I heard you and Ann got along well at the barbecue last Saturday." He said with a smile."Oh you heard about that did you? I said, feeling a blush. " He waited for their response."And the girl?" It was the granddaughter who spoke. "This 'Alexa' - what about her? Is it true she is your personal slave?" Rosario was softly spoken but there was a subtle edge of authority in her voice. Despite her sex, she was destined to become a formidable power as head of the Family. How times had changed!"If my slave survives, she will kneel at my feet. Why do you ask about her?" Because ... she now belongs to the Family." She was watching him through.
