Traffic Jam

The Prisoner-Kayla

I was being dragged down the hallway, bound really tightly. My older sister Piper was still in Madams office. Lily had taken the plan we had come up with together and run away with it. She was only nine and hadn't been outside the plantation since she was three. The only one of us that remembered the outside was Piper, then again she was also the only one that could read too.

"This way you runt." The guard grouched.

She lead me to the punishment center. This was where if you did anything wrong, or tried anything to escape, you were sent here to be punished. It was away from the bunks and the living quarters. Even thinking about it scared me, there where lashes and whipping Posts, cells, and other torturous devices. I had only been here once, when another girl started pushing me around, Piper had stepped in and gave that girl what she had coming; all three of us got punished, 10 lashings each, I couldn't lie down for a week.

"In here you go." The guard pushed me into a holding cell. It was made of stone; I could hear a pipe dripping, but it was so dark I couldn't see it.

"What's going to happen to Piper." I asked. I really didn't want to lose her too.

"I would be more concerned about you." Replied the guard.

"Why?"

"Word is Madam found a man to sell you to, she's getting a lot if money. He is a really rich man but he and his wife have problems. Lucky for you thou he lives mainly in Mexico, and his favorite vacation place is in Texas, not that far away." I didn't even know what Mexico was and I was going to be sent there.

My stomach was in a knot, I was about to throw up. " It's too bad your sister didn't tell you."

"What do you mean, she didn't know, did she?"

"Are you sure your sisters." I can't believe Piper knew, how did she find out, and why wouldn't she tell me. was it because she didn't want to deal with it, or me.

"I thought we were," was my only response.
