1 week later ( hehehehehehe )
It's been a week since I have been owned and I only seen Mr. Hamilton once, when we're at the slave auction. When I walk past his office, I would here him arguing with a Mr. Jefferson. I have never seen the man but Mr. Hamilton seems to always be mad at him. Besides that it was always quiet in the house. Sally told me the rule that no communication can happen until all cleaning is done. So I really couldn't talk to anyone. I felt lonely.
Sally assigned me to clean all the windows and dust on the top floor. Room by room I clean. Every single day. This time, I see a room with double doors.
After what happened on my first day, I didn't know if I should go in there. What if someone is getting murdered in there? I wouldn't want to go in there. Maybe it was a pantry, full of food. Yummy.
The doors was a light green, with gold on the sides. The two handles were all gold. Nice and polished.
I touch the handles and-
" What are you doing?"
I turn around to see a new person. She was dark skin and had a purple ribbon in her hair.
" U-Ummmm cleaning."
" You aren't allowed to go in there. Master won't be happy if your in there."
" Hi I'm John."
" Theodosia, but you can call me Theo." She gives me a warm smile.
" Ok Theo. Sooooo, do you know what's on the other side of these doors?"
She thought for a second, then shook her head. I decided not to go inside those doors so I won't be punished. Theo is obviously trying to save me. I smiled at her and walked down the hall to clean the next room. Soon, Theo went downstairs.
I put my cleaning supplies down and made my way to the light green door. What did you expect? I couldn't help myself but see what's in there. I slowly open both doors, preparing myself for what on the other side of this door.
Books.
Books everywhere!
This is a library! It's so big! This is the biggest library I've ever seen. If you don't know, i love books. Mrs. Maria said she would bring me some, but they haven't came yet. I walked in and ran all through the isles, my eyes full of wonder. I picked out a few books and held them in my hand, so I can read them later. I went in and out of the library so I can put these books in my room. Maria told me she would bring me in books to read, but it's been two weeks since I saw her. She tends to be more around the sisters more than me.
I look for more books utill I stumble across a box on the bottom shelf. It was dark brown piled with dust. I put down the books that were in my hand and gabbed the box. It was really heavy, I was struggling to carry it up.
I open it to see papers. They were all written on, but one paper caught my eye.
It was a newspaper that came from....
Nevis?
Isn't that the small island in the Caribbean that everyone forgot about? Why would he have a newspaper coming from the-
I thoughts were interrupted by a force squeezing my neck. As my breathing was limited I tried to squirm out of the grip.
" What the hell are you doing in here!?" The voice was sour, cold, and dark all at the same time. I knew that voice.
I'm in huge trouble.
Mr. Hamilton pushes me on the ground. I saw that he was angry. Really angry. I walks over to me but I crawl backwards. He eventually catches me as a scream. I was so terrified.
" G-Get off of me!?" My screams were high pitched and loud. A few slaves looked over at me as he carried me out of the library. His tight grip against my rib squeezing me to death as I try to pull out of him.
He pushes me down the stairs. I roll in circles all the way to the last stair. At the corner of my eye I saw Angelica dusting the living room up. She stares at my shocked. Mr. Hamilton slowly walks down the stairs as I cry in pain on my left hip.
" Angelica! Get me my whip!" He Yelled.
" But sir you never-"
" Get it now!"
Then Angelica ran upstairs. We made contact and in the look of her eyes, she seems afraid. Peggy comes running in the kitchen along with some others. I feel a bit embarrassed that everyone is watching me cry while Mr. Hamilton yells at me.
Angelica comes back with a long brown, thick whip. My eyes widen, as I knew I was about to be punished. " Strip." He says firmly. ( no he isn't raping him )
I shook my head no at first, instantly regretting it after he kicked on my hurting hip. I son even more as I take off the dress.
TIMMMMMMMEEEEESSSKKKIPP
( no way in hell im writing about him actually getting whipped....so we gonna pretend it already happened )
Pain....
That's all I can feel.
I never thought a day in my life I would end up feeling this much pain. I don't even know what I did. What was in that box? Well I thought wrong. " Ouch!!" I cry, as Peggy cleans my long scars on my back.
" John you need to hold still. It will hurt less." She says.
I slowly nod.
Then there was a knock on the slaves room door. " Come in.." peggy says still cleaning.
The door opens to Mr. Hamilton.
Just the person I wanted to see!
" Hello you too." He seems to different now. He has on different clothing and his glasses on. His expression seems to look like he forgot about what happened about an hour ago! I didn't bother to look him in the face. I was fed up with him.
" Peggy, I told you to brush lightly. Your going to make it infected." He confronted.
" I'm sorry Master. I'm trying to get this down as fast as I can to start dinner." The room was quiet only filled with my sobs from the biting pain coming from my back every time Peggy puts the hot water on it.
" Here, you go start dinner and I'll clean him up." Mr. Hamilton said. I didn't even care. This pain is the only thing I could think of. Peggy nods, and leaves the room.
Now, it was only me and him.
Sooooooooooo how did I dooo?
I love this plot of this book so far? I GOT MY PHONE BACK SO I CAN WRITE NORMALLY NOW!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
