Chapter 6, Whipped
The soldiers brought us into a auditorium. Lots of people were sitting down. Then a man came and tied our hands and feet together. He blindfolded us too, just to make it work. Then I heard him say, "How much for these slaves?" I heard him say the description of all of us. "I will take all of them for ten million," one person's voice said. The room was quiet. I heard the person walk down to us. Then we were dragged off.
The blindfold was taken off me at a house. I do not know how big since I was inside. I was unchained too. What was going on. Then I saw Mrs. Tip. She was walking over to me. I walked to her. "Are you okay?" she asked. "Yes," I replied. Then everyone else came in. I man came in after them. He had a whip. "You belong to me!" he yelled to us like we were deaf. "We are not deaf," Jonah said. Everyone was whipped. I yelled in pain when I was hit. Then Mr. Seato's ball came back. It hit the man, and made a escape route. We went in, scared. After we all jumped in, the hole sealed, making it pitch black where we were. I felt mud up to my ankles. "Are you here?" I asked. No answer. I asked again. No answer I was alone. I started walking forward. I put my hands in front of me so I would not hit anything. Then, down the tunnel red eyes appeared. I looked at them. I heard a roar. The eyes charged for me. I did not know what to do. I closed my eyes.
Then I felt arms hug me. I opened my eyes. The red eyes were Mrs. Tip's. But, what was the roar. "Are you okay?" she asked. "Yes, just scared," I told her. "Do you want to trade?" said a voice, "The girl will give you lights, no red eyes, and a new dress. Does that sound good?" Two more red eyes appeared. "I will also include a new hair due," the voice told us. Mrs. Tip looked at me. She looked at me. She really wanted this. She hugged me tight. "No, I will not trade," she said. The other pair of red eyes disappeared. "Thank you!" I exclaimed. I heard something else walking towards us. "Hello? Anybody there?" asked Thunder's voice. "Over here, Thunder," Mrs. Tip called. He ran to us. "Mom, is that you?" asked Jonah's voice. "Yes!" Mrs. Tip called. Then I heard walking. Everyone joined us. Why do we keep going through the same thing?
