Niomi sat, quiet and still, in the middle of Clara's bed. She was glad to be somewhere safe again. Her master and mistress were the creulest type of people, her master trying to rape her and her mistress beating her for 'leading him on'. She touched her tail and shivered, remembering how her mistress had taken a knife to her today. She now had a broken tail. She shook her head against the pain, knowing there was no use crying. She laid on her side, still curled up, and was preparing to fall asleep when she heard the door opening. She jumped up, happy that Clara had come back, but did not run to open the door. She remembered, Clara had said that someone else was coming here, taking the spare bedroom. She was to stay away from them. She knew Clara would come to her room if she needed her, so she laid back down, ears perked for anymore noise.
