[color=blue]"Stay out of it Jess. The less you know the safer you are. Seriously. I can handle them."[/color] Roxy told the empath. She had mixed feeling about Jess asking. She didn't want to pull the other woman into her dark world. The empath deserved better. And there was no way the empath could pull her out. She had been in the darkness too long and Jess wasn't strong enough. The Empath couldn't handle normal life. Maybe someday. But Roxy doubted. She had met few people who weren't born in her world that could handle it. She didn't blame the other woman for being weak. In fact she was relieved that Jess wasn't stronger.

[color=blue]"You just focus on adapting. I'll keep them away from you." [/color]That's the best she could handle the minions. As long as the man in charge or her father didn't show up they would be find. And it wasn't likely they would come down here because it would attract too much attention. As long as Jess was fragile they were fine. Empaths were too valuable for them to take any risks. They would wait and watch. That gave Roxy time to find a way to protect the empath. There had to be a way to keep the other woman safe. She would find it. Even if it meant giving up the freedom that she had fought so hard for.
