“I traded with Jesiba for your freedom last week. I have the papers in my desk. I wanted to throw a party for it- to surprise you.' The bathroom door began warping, bending. Bryce sobbed. 'I bought you and now I set you free, Lehabah.'
Lehabah's smile didn't falter. 'I know,' she said. 'I peeked in your drawer.'
And despite the monster trying to break loose behind them, Bryce choked on a laugh before she begged. 'You are a free person- you do not have to do this. You are free, Lehabah.'
Yet Lehabah remained at the foot of the stairs. 'Then let the world know that my first act of freedom was to help my friends.”
