Theresa's POV
Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!
In about 5 minutes, my master will come in and give me todays' tasks. Oh I do hope he is in a pleasant mood today. Yesterday he was in a rather ill mood and he got angry and beat me. My back still aches.
The door opens and I stand. I give a little curtsey as I say, "Good morning, Sir. How was your sleep?" I ask politely. "Very pleasant. Thank you Theresa." He says. Wow I just got a compliment! He must be in a pleasant mood! "What are my assignments for today, Sir." I ask politely. "First, clean the kitchen. Second, make me tea and serve it with cucumber sandwiches. Third, bring me the post, I want to see what's going on in the world." He says sternly. "Certainly, Sir." I say and give a curtsey. I walk out the door and shut behind me.
William's POV
Today is the annual slave auction. I was hoping to set another slave free tomorrow. I am currently writing a letter to the owner of the auction, thanking him once again for inviting me this year.
Knock! Knock!
"Come on in!" I say. James comes in the door. "I am very excited for today. Aren't you?" He asks. "Why James, you know that I am just as excited as you are for today." I say. James yawns. "I do believe that it is getting quite late. See you in a while brother!" I say and walk out the door. I plop down on the bed and instantly fall to sleep.
