*Dameriz's pov...A few days later...*

Things got back on track very quickly ....quicker than I expected. Everything was running smoother than ever with Gail out of the way.

Wait. I shouldn't be saying her name. I put in a new rule yesterday saying that no one can speak her name. I just hope this helps them forget.....

Oh yeah! And everyone on the ship voted me to take her place, but I still keep my title. After all, I was the only Captain to begin with.

The door opened and Natasha stepped in, probably to give her report. (She works for me now, which is nice I suppose.)

"Everything is in perfect order, sir." Natasha reported.

"Great! They're recovering faster than I expected." I replied, "Did you send in that letter while you were at it?"

An awkward silence filled the room. Natasha sighed and answered, "No sir. I'm sorry. I forgot again. I'll try to remember next time."

She was avoiding my gaze and staring at the floor when she said this. Is she expecting me to do something?

*Natasha's pov...*

I waited for the worst. Whenever I fail to do something, I get smacked, hit ...whatever! Most of the time, I get scars from such abuses to remind me not to do it again. I think I still have a slight trace of the S that was branded on my cheek from a year ago. It was an S for servant so that I would remember my place.

"Is something wrong?" Dameriz asked.

"N-nothing sir." I stuttered.

"You're not in trouble, okay?" Dameriz replied gently.

"I'm not?" I quietly asked.

"I don't know what she put in your head to make you think you would be." Dameriz replied, "*sigh* We've got to work on that."

"I'll try, sir." I replied.

"Do me a favor, will you?" Dameriz asked, "Send in that letter."
