Prologue
There was once a time when l would wake up with my mind set for adventure when l would eat 3 warm meals per day when l would have no worries and my thoughts were considered , when l had a place to call home, when l thought black was beautiful ........and when l was *happy*
...................................But that all changed when my people the blacks where taken away by the white soldiers . My father the chief fought for us but was shot by one of the white soldiers and left there lying on the ground ,never to get a decent burial .At the age 9 l witnessed my father get shot right infront of me 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Children of 10 and below where forced to stay and work as servants for the whites including me.My mother begged and pleaded for me to come with them but to all was in vain for these people had a heart made of stone . I just watched as the soldiers beat her up , insult her and they throw her in the truck with the other adults ,forced to go work in farms and mines . I looked at my mother with Tears flowing down my pale chubby cheeks as she let go of my hand and was thrown into the truck . She looked at me with her kind warm tender hazel eyes and said in a weak cold voice " l will come back for you" . And l will never forget those words .
................7 years later
Chapter oneI felt the ice cold water touch my bare skin waking me up within seconds . I looked up with red eyes that had been caused by my of lack of sleep. I looked up and saw Susan she was the youngest kid of the family l was enslaved in . And she had a huge smile on her little chubby face . The girl was barely 6 but she treated me like some sort of filthy animal l guess she was taught soo by her parents.
Her. Well are u just going to sit there or wake up and make yourself useful , you wouldn't want me telling mum about your laziness would you
Me. No maam Susan l will wake up (sneazing) now
Susan. Ewww is this what black people do when they wake up .Anyway I'm hungry and l need u to cook me something quick capish
Me. Yes ma'am
Susan . Oh and take a bath you reekShe looked at me with disgust and left me lying on the cold wet mat . My dress was wet though it just a potato sack l had gotten in the junk yard with my bestfriend Clarrisa .
Luckily we had gotten enough sacks for such situations
I removed my wet blanket and went to hang them outside and l saw Clarrisa washing some of clothes . Clarrisa is my best friend but l think of her as more of a sister she and l were enslaved to two neighbours and that's how we met .
