he lifts my dress and can't help but grab both sides of my ass with his big strong hands. internally groaning at the sight. I was begging for him to mark me and make me his. he pulls my panties down and fall to my ankles. my dripping heat is on...

I opened the door that led to the porch of the cabin I lived in, I took a quick look around before stepping outside into the chilly night. It's the start of October so the temperature was starting to drop, I walked through the little courtyard that was in the middle of the living quarters I held a small candle as I made my way to a friend's cabin to talk. When I walked up to the door I knocked once, before pausing for 2 seconds then knocking again 2 times then again knocking one more time. The door slowly opened to reveal Jack, Samuel, and Patty. We agreed to keep our group small so we wouldn't draw attention, patty is a friend of mine who works in the house she has loose curly hair and light brown skin. Samuel has dark skin similar to mine he works out in the field with me, he was how I met patty and jack stayed in trouble.
"Took ya long enough," patty said looking behind me to make sure I wasn't followed
"Calm down I'm not goin' anywhere yet" I smiled this is the first time we are meeting about this since I talked to sam and patty about the idea of running. At first, they were both scared and hesitant about the consequences but after thinking about it for some time they were soon on board.
"So whats this plan you got," jack asked I turned to patty
"Did you get it?" I asked she nodded and walked over to her bed she reached under it and undid a floorboard pulling out a map that she stole from Mr. Thomas she handed it to me. I sat it down on the table revealing a map of America. I looked over it before pointing to Georgia.
"This is where we are Georgia-" I said putting the candle I was holding down
"You can read?" Jack asked
"Yes now catch up," I told him and focused back on the map
" most slaves when they run they run north but for us, we are too far south that would be impossible" patty added
"So what you invited me over here to tell me there ain't no escape?" Jack complained
"Can I finish?" patty asked jack nodded
"So Lizbeth had a plan of instead of runnin' north..."
"We run further south" I finished both jack and sam looked at me like I was crazy
"Oh Lizbeth you lost yo mind," Samuel chuckled
"It's crazy but I overheard some of Mr. Thomas's guests talking about a place in Florida, which is here," I said sliding my finger down to Florida "st. Augustine Florida is a place for people like us to be free, we would be called freedom seekers."
"What do we do when we get there," sam asked
"That I'm not so sure of," i said I genuinely have no clue what to do once we arrive
"And how you know this isn't a trick" jack asked
"I don't, I heard some of the overseers talk about them hiding runaways," I told them but they looked unsure. "If you're scared you don't have to go, but I know damn well that I'm getting out of here" there was a moment of silence before
"I'll go," sam said jack glanced over at sam before agreeing
"I'll go too" I nodded
"I've already chosen a date, Mr. Thomas is having a party which means all the overseers will be in the house that night and only one will be on guard. That is our chance to run"
"The party is Sunday night so make sure yall keep a low profile" patty added we nodded

it was Wednesday only a few more days till we are out of here, I was sitting in the courtyard area washing sheets by hand and hanging them up on a wire to dry, there was a cool breeze blowing as two little girls chased each other around its nice that they could find such peace in a horrible place like this. as I was watching them play it felt like I was being watched when I looked around I saw it was Ben on his horse watching me from a distance but when I looked at him he didn't look away he just kept staring at me. I turned away in disgust and went back to washing the sheets, after a minute I heard screaming when I looked up Ben's horse was spooked by the girls and had risen on its hind legs throwing ben off the horse. I stopped what I was doing and ran to the aid of the girls to make sure they were okay.
"Are you girls okay?" I asked them they nodded, I looked at them and they were just scared
"you..... you did that on purpose," ben said getting up from the ground with his whip in hand I knew what was about to happen next, people have started to look over at us wondering what was happening
"what," I asked chuckling a little
"you bastards did that on purpose!" he said pointing at the girls I could honesty smell the alcohol on his breath from where I was standing
"They are just kids are you really gonna blame them for you not being able to ride a horse," I asked pushing the girls behind me
"Are you calling me stupid"
"I'm just calling what I saw, which was you not being able to take control of your horse" at this point the girl's mother came and got them
"yeah know what, if I recall right it was you who told them to run in front of me"
"what. no, it wasn't," I told him but all he did was crack his whip he whistled and my arms were grabbed by two overseers and held tightly "WHAT THE HELL LET GO OF ME" I struggled to get out of their grip but I couldn't, they dragged me off to a wooden post that had chains on it and chained my hands around the post, tears started to flow out of my eyes.
"I've been waiting for the day to hit you"
the sound of the whip filled the air and then was instantly replaced with blood-curdling screams and crying. the pain was so bad I felt like I wanted to puke my body shook from the pain, and I tried to cry for it to stop but nothing but screams would come out as he hit me for the 7th time I could feel the blood running down my back. I looked over my shoulder as he drew his hand back to hit me again
"that's enough Ben" I heard Mr. Thomas's voice say "let her go, maybe she'll learn to stay in her place" the same two overseers from earlier came and untied my hands. my hands fell into my lap as I sat on my feet, I glanced over and saw patty with hands over her mouth and an empty basket at her feet. that was the last thing I saw before everything went black.
